  • Descrição: We may be sure that the enumeration of artifices and devices is at least the wrong way to begin the study of winning an audience. For our present purpose, we shall scarcely consider the mechanics of speech, the canons of expression, form, inflection, and gesture, leaving these in the main to the voice specialist. And we shall leave to the rhetorician the consideration of the literary details of form and finish, force and emphasis, organization and sequence. Moreover, we must, for the most part, leave to the logician the study of evidence and the nature of proof and fallacy. Furthermore, for our purpose, we must abstract, from the varied concrete sorts of audiences and purposes of congregation, only those features more or less common to them all. Audiences assemble from a variety of motives,--to be entertained, instructed, exhorted; to observe merely, to participate, to dominate. Their occasions, places, and modes of assembly are equally diverse. No less varied are the functions of the performer. Each of these situations has no doubt its own psychology. Processes and acts peculiar to each set of circumstances will be of great importance to the performer, of vital concern to the audience, and of scientific interest to the mere observer. The special characteristics of most occasions, topics, places, and motives may, indeed, be the factors most determinative of the success or failure of the performer-audience relation. We must, however, concern ourselves here with such features as are in the main common to all or to several of these situations. The general consideration of audience phenomena is worth undertaking, even though it be compelled to abstract from the specific and concrete details which any particular audience situation may involve.
