Communication: The Sender

sender sender sender sender sender anybody around  here see a sender sender sender sender sender what's a sender look like I don't know I don't  either let's just keep looking sender sender sender look a clue sender is that way this isn't  a sender it's a message it tells us who the sender okay the people who made this film are  senders they medium is the film and the messages within the film and look here's  a message from another sender [Music] in communication the sender transmits a message  to a receiver through some medium gosh not only that my friends but communication always  begins with a sender right now I am a sender of a particular kind I'm a public speaker  speaking publicly personally delivering my message to my audience the receivers there's one  of me and several of them hey receivers are you receiving Who You Are and who your audience is  can affect how you deliver your message I'm a sender I'm using nonverbal communication  trying to send all sorts of messages love silliness fear [Music] Joy in these situations the receiver is  pretty close to the sender in time and space I'm sending one: one friend to friend un  receiving one to one friend to friend but there are situations in which the sender is farther  away from theer like all letter writers I'm a sender I don't know the receiver very well so I  haven't written as if we were friends my letter contains the message the receiver as you can  see is far away we are separated in space and time this message may take several days to get  to the receiver or it may arrive much sooner I am a receiver this letter contains a message and  so does this book it was written by the sender several hundred years ago that's a pretty big  separation in time between sender and receiver yeah a long time so you see every message  has a sender whose purpose is to transmit the message to the receiver using whatever  me medium is available in spite of certain barriers that may exist effective communication  means overcoming these barriers or avoiding them getting the message through to demonstrate how  to get a message through we're going to do some planning Fade Out please until we have everything  ready hello glad you could make it to our meeting hello you see we're trying to sell ads in the  program for the school play we've gotten together to plan a sales talk once we tell you what we're  selling you'll want to buy buy buy now our sales talk is the message here's how it goes the ad you  buy will could I have a little visual help please it will reach over 3,000 people in our community  who see the play it will let them know about your business and equally important it will show that  you care about our students because you're helping us pay for our show so buy an ad okay that's the  message now are you ready to send that message to all the people in the community yeah then  all together now tell us about it a sender is a person who sets out to send some messages the  message is the information that that sender send medium is talking singing lots of information  bringing there's communication happening hi hello there I just want to be sure you know who  I am hi uh could you buy an ad a what an ad for the play the play yeah the play what play at  school look I'm sorry we're very busy and this sender doesn't seem to have her message clearly in  mind she doesn't seem to know what it is that she wants to say I guess the receiver isn't getting  the message he's probably not going to buy an ad a communication breakdown causing by the cender  another demonstration coming up and that's why I'd like to sell you an ad in our program will you buy  one sorry I don't speak English you speak Spanish gosh that's about all I know in no you got to help me I I need a thing  that'll fit in the place where the figment jig goes in in this way in the pipe yeah thing  place thing ofama jig could you be talking about the threaded bushing that joins the pipe in  the inlet valve just above the elbow bushing inlet valve elbow we're not communicating he doesn't  have the right vocabulary so I don't know what he wants messy and for another for example hey  Dad can I borrow some bread so I can take this cool chick on a big [Music] blast bread cool chick  [Music] blast now why couldn't he ask me for some long green to paint the town red with his Hot  Tomato long green paint the town red Hot Tomato we're not communicating you see the sender has  to send the message in a code that the receiver understands and on with our story help  me there's this program I want you buy what are you selling something yeah I  wouldn't by hear the problem well actually you can't hear it because the cinder is  speaking too Softly need some help you got to buy if a sender can't make a message  heard when spoken or read when written there isn't much chance for communication can it be  that my speech habits are getting in the way of communication what's this speaking softly is  not the only problem whatever can that mean I'm selling ads for my school play program yes  would you like to buy an ad for the school play program it's for a good cause no no just  go away why do people react so badly to me as a sender could it be yes speaking too loudly  may have caused a communication barrier and look hey man I'm talking about ads for the school  play you want to buy one for the program what did you say hey man you know the play at school  the school play you want to buy a NAD NAD NAD young man your poor speech habits are obstructing  communication communication what communication for Effective spoken communication the sender has  to speak clearly loud enough but not too loud he has to send the whole message and he has  to do it in a pleasant easy to understand way maybe like this the ad you bu will reach  the people all throughout our town it'll tell them what you're selling and invite them  come on down advertising gets you customers who smile instead of frown so will you buy  an ad would you like to buy an ADM if you don't you'll make us sad ma'am I don't want  to be a bad man so I'll help You're such good kid as a receiver I must say they got through  to me I understood the message they were good senders friends you've seen some no NOS about  being a sender for some super spectacular yes yeses notice first that an effective sender  tailor his message to fit a particular receiver being in the theater business yourself you know  how important school productions can be have you seen any of our plays yes I've seen a few  but not in a few years though my kids are all in college now which of the school plays Do  You Remember by asking questions the sender can personally involve the receiver ra here are  some pictures from last year's play and this is the program you can see how nice the ads look  we try to do a good job visual aids can help a sender communicate but they shouldn't take  attention away from the verbal message which is well young man you've made your point not  only do I understand your message but I'm also persuaded by it I'll buy an ad he's a good sender  he knows how to make eye contact and he knows how to listen to the person with whom he's trying  to communicate you see a good sender looks for Clues to see how his message is getting  through this is called feedback information the receiver feeds back to the sender here's  how it's used actors make a lot of money why should I support them he thinks I've been  talking about professional actors not our own neighborhood school I'll have to be a better  sender make it clear to him sorry I don't speak English if he understood I think he'd support  us I'll have to send the message in Spanish or get someone who can here's your Advanced payment  and please let me know if there's anything else I can do for you he wants to help us well a  lot of people come to his theater maybe we could ask him to help us with the advertising  sure I'll put up your poster it'll help you as senders to get your message across to a  lot of people and it'll help us right now to review what we've already learned about being  an effective sender like this clearly and speech tech have a clear message in mind and watch  how loudly you speak tell the message to the receiver and use feedback because it send  communication has no end it ends now that we've made our point and wherever we go you will  always know we are senders and this is [Music] our
