The audience's reception encompasses how they perceive, interpret, understand, and respond to a speech or argument presented by the speaker.
Picture an audience reception like a party. Just as guests at a party react differently based on how entertaining or engaging it is (some may dance along while others may feel bored), audiences also respond differently depending on how compelling or persuasive the speech is.
Engagement: Engagement refers to how actively involved or interested the audience becomes during a presentation. It can be measured by their attention level, participation, or emotional response.
Comprehension: Comprehension involves understanding what the speaker intends to convey through their message accurately. It includes grasping key points, ideas, arguments effectively.
Interpretation: Interpretation pertains to how individuals analyze and make sense of information presented by the speaker based on their own perspectives, beliefs, biases.
