Introduction

Audience goes beyond being only a group of spectators; audience are the persons that show interest, support and enthusiasm to the speaker or the writer. For this research project my interest is based on audience and I want to know what is the relation between the audience and the topic that the author is discussing. Does every topic has it's own audience or is it universal? For me, it depends on the topic; some topics are universal because we are all concerned about them but others are for a specific audience. To prove this theory I'm going to use the articles from the authors Downs and Wardle, Gillam, Ede, Lisa and Andre Lundsford, and Park. All of them discussed the role and the importance of audience and the response that the person gets from it; finally to back up all this information I'm going to apply some surveys to my classmates and make some interviews to other college students. After all, "The Audience is the best judge of anything." (Barbra Streisand)
