As the famous Jerry Seinfeld punch line goes, “This means to the average person, if you have to be at a funeral, you’d rather be in the casket than doing the eulogy.” From sweaty palms and bundles of nerves to a cracking voice and butterflies in your stomach, speaking in public can be downright terrifying.

13. Quick Review of SOAPSToneRS
When speaking publicly or analyzing speeches SOAPSTONERS is essential, however the focus must change from the subject/theme to the audience. If the speaker incorrectly gauges his audience the speech doomed before it begins.
Subject: The subject is the issue at hand or theme. There will often be direct (refer to the title)as well as a indirect subject (a combination of the direct subject and tone). The speaker must consider: How can I effectively communicate this topic the audience? What am I trying to communicate? What perspective should the audience share once the speech is complete?
Occasion: Remember that naming the occasion is both the time/place and the genre. The speaker must consider: What is the current political, cultural, social climate? How can the context impact the speaker’s argument or claim?

14. SOAPSToneRS Review
Audience: The most important thing to consider: Who is the intended audience? Who is the speaker trying to reach? Is it an audience of elders, youth, or peers? Do gender, race, socio-economic status, or educational level matter? Does the group have any innate biases? How should the audience influence the diction (formal/informal, mono/polysyllabic, colloquial, etc.)
Purpose: Think about the modes of writing and the purposes behind those modes. Things to consider: Is the objective to entertain, to inform, to persuade, to critique, to complain, to explain, to reflect, to describe? Is the speaker’s objective to allow the audience to identify with him or does he want to be viewed as an authority? What type of appeal (ethos, logos, pathos) would work best to accomplish this purpose?
Speaker: Things to consider: Is the speaker the only one who shares the claim,/argument? Are there additional authorities/ researchers who can support the argument/ claim?

15. SOAPSToneRS Review
Tone: Tone is the attitude of the speaker towards his subject and audience. Things to consider: What tone would be most effective to communicate the subject to this audience? (sarcastic, humorous, direct, objective, etc.)
Rhetorical Devices: The writer’s use of mode—narration, exposition, description, and persuasion. The writer’s use of ethos, logos, pathos; the writer’s use of evidence such as personal experience, example, definition, statistics, research; the writer’s use of satire, sarcasm, understatement, anecdotes, alliteration, parallelism, diction (denotation/connotation), detail, syntax, organization, etc. Things to consider: What points does the speaker hope to emphasize? What techniques would work best to do this?
Stylistic Devices: Literary Devices with a figurative meaning including (but not limited to) simile, metaphor, personification, foreshadowing, flashback, imagery, allusions, irony, symbolism, etc. Things to consider: Is the claim/argument the focus OR is the language/ story the focus?
