student asking question

Is it common to call audience as "audience"? I thought "everyone" or "ladies and gentlemen" sound more natural.

You are right. "Everyone" or "ladies and gentlemen" sounds way more natural than "audience." It is also not very common to call an audience "audience." I am unsure why he says "audience" here, but it does sound a little odd.
