Does audience size matter?

What is the difference between speaking in front of 10, 1 000 or 10 000 people? 😬

The difference exists mainly in your head. 👈🏽

Of course, the size of the audience has an impact on the tools that you use, the microphone, the audio system, the lights, and the technology used - all of this changes as the size of the event or stage changes. ✅

But at the end of the day, what many people tend to forget is that whether you're speaking to 1, 10, 1 000 or 10 000 people, you are speaking to people. 💯

You're speaking to human beings, and they all came to hear you speak. 👈🏽

That is the truth. 💯

So you should not see the audience as a hostile engagement, you should see them all as friends that come to listen to you, to experience your knowledge and wisdom, to hear your story. 👈🏽

Instead of putting the number on a pedestal, focus on connecting with every single person in the audience, one way or another. ✅

The result will be you delivering a winning speech or talk.👈🏽

Has the audience size ever freaked you out?
