It depends on the audience you are addressing

I’m unsure how to say:
It depends on the audience you are addressing.

The first thing that comes to my mind is:
Depende del público al que te dirijas.

But then I question if it should be:
Depende del público a que te dirijas.

And now I’m questioning whether it should be said in the indicative:
Depende del público al que te dirijes.
Depende del público a que te dirijes.

Which is most correct.

Do I need “a que” or “al que”? and why?

Is the indicative or subjunctive needed? and why?

Input with explanations is very much appreciated.

Giving your opinion about something over which you have no control is subjective, which calls for the subjunctive.
