Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Adapting a speech to an audience is not the same thing as simply telling an audience what they want to hear. Audience analysis does not mean ‘grandstanding’ or ‘kowtowing’ to a public. Rather, adaptation guides the stylistic and content choices a speaker makes for a presentation.

Detailed explanation-2: -Audience sensitivity is conceptualized as a tendency to fit one’s communications to the distinctive features of one’s audience, out of a motivation to promote their epistemic goods for its own sake. The relevant features of one’s audience include its distinctive needs, interests, views, abilities, and dispositions.

Often, there is a very fine line between over-adapting and under-adapting, but the more you practice it, the easier and more straightforward it will become.
