WRITING FOR A LISTENING AUDIENCE
MONOLOGUE
"Narcissism: A genetic trait"
(* In a usual "seminar-like" tone. Calm and confident)
Hello and welcome to today's AS psychology seminar on the topic of personality disorders. We'll mainly be concentrating on NPA theory of major personality traits, which focuses on narcissism.
(*In an irate, bossy tone)
Before I start I must first teach you the rules of audience etiquette. Above all you must look like you are enjoying my talk (which no doubt will be a simple task) but not so much as you think we are "at one" with each other. I may act like I'm "down" with you kids but ultimately I know more than you, am bigger than you, and ultimately am a God-like character in comparison. Just so you know.
Undoubtedly you'll like, enjoy, love today's seminar but there are suitable ways to show your appreciation. Rule number 1. Don't clap wildly like you're on that Jerry Springer show...
