what is the plural of audience?

Question

i'm currently in class having to watch some stupid video tutorials things on "speech" for my speech credit, and as i looked up at the screen, something caught my eye: the bullet points said something about "getting the audiences attention"

i know for sure that they mispelled "audience's"

if you're referring to a certain object which belongs to someone, you always use an apostrophe, if the subject comes before the thing they "own."

i noticed that in this case, she used what seemed to me like the plural of the word audience, instead of adding an apostrophe, s.

then i wondered if that was really the plural of the word.
actually, i'm quite sure that there is a plural. i just wanted to look it up and i couldn' find it, so someone please reasure me?

And, Is "audience's" correct when referring to "the audience that belongs to someone"?

"And, Is "audience's" correct when referring to "the audience that belongs to someone"?"

The audience that belongs to someone is not made possessive. The person or thing possessing it is made possessive.

For example:
Sheila's audience gave her a standing ovation.
or
The audience's applause was overwhelming.
and
There were several audiences contained in the convention center.

Answer 3

audience that belongs to someone is "audience's"
but a lot of audiences is "audiences".
