Audiences are audiences.

Audiences can be very judgmental.

Audiences like to be challenged and to be actively involved and try to guess an outcome.

But you can't really know your audiences so well.

I tend to believe that audiences are relatively well-balanced people.

I find that here in the States, audiences are generally less knowledgeable, from the cognitive point of view, though they are emotionally more receptive.

The kind of audience I'm speaking to is a very wide range of people.

You can't really tell what the audience wants but you can tell what will keep everybodies attention in the same place.

You think about taking audiences on a journey.

Getting an audience is hard. Sustaining an audience is hard. It demands a consistency of thought, of purpose, and of action over a long period of time.
