Speeches preformed on television are actually more viewed by teens, according to a survey; conducted by myself. In my opinion it impacts minds at a greater level.

There are many similarities and differences between all of these speeches. Some people prefer one over the other. In fact, at the end of this research I conducted my own personal survey. The question was, “would you prefer to listen to a speech on the radio, television, or on the internet.” There were 10 young adults ages (17-25) and 10 adults ages (30+) that were involved. The results were surprising. My survey showed that about 70% of younger adults prefer a speech presented on the television; while the adults on the other hand were about with radio and television.

As it says in our text book, “Turning a hearing audience to a listening audience” Being energetic is a big key, whether giving a speech on radio, television, or on the internet; getting through to your audience is a big deal. The most important thing to remember when giving a speech is; just meet the goal of your speech and make your point clear to your audience.
