Reviews: Audience

Reviews: Audience

  • Understand that the audience for a review will vary depending on the medium the review is being published in. For example, a review in a magazine will have a different audience than a review on a blog.

  • Keep in mind the interests and preferences of the audience while writing a review. For example, a review for a video game will be of interest to people who play games rather than those who are not interested in gaming.

  • The language used should be suitable for the audience. If the review is aimed at children, simpler language should be used while adults might appreciate more complex language and description.

  • Remember that a review can influence the opinion of the readers. Therefore, it should be written in a persuasive way with the use of justifiable arguments and reasoning.

  • Depending on the expected audience, the tone of the review should be balanced. If it’s a critical review, then the tone may be serious and in-depth; while a review for a comedy might have a more light-hearted tone.

  • Always seek to engage the audience in the review by creating an attractive introduction and a strong conclusion. The audience should feel compelled to read the review till the end.

  • The use of personal pronouns can make a review more direct and engaging for the audience.

  • Incorporate relevant background information that would be helpful for the audience to understand the context of the review.

  • Vary sentence structures, use interesting vocabulary and include aesthetic elements in your language to keep your audience engaged.

  • Pay attention to creating clear and coherent paragraphs. This will help the audience follow the primary idea and main points within the review.
