Group of 30, or 3,000? Which would you choose?

Question

This may sound like a crazy question, but...If you could choose between delivering a speech (only about a 5 minute speech, which you wrote yourself and have memorized for the most part) in front of 30 people, or 3,000 people, which would you choose, and why? Please explain! (For example (30, because there's not as many people to worry about what they're thinking of my speech, or because I could make eye contact with all of them, etc.)) THANKS!!!

Answer 1

3,000 easier to get lost in the crowed afterward.

Answer 2

I would make my speech in front of 3,000 people because I might never get that chance again. You could always find an audience of 30 but 3,000 is not an everyday thing. Lets just cross our fingers that what I say is remotely interesting! =)

Answer 3

I would choose 3,000 because being a larger crowd I would assume there would be a lesser chance of people butting in. Others often dont like to interupt and speak out whilst in such a large situation, they do it amongst themselves, whereas in a smaller crowd of 30 you would be more likely to have to answer the 'smarty-pants' that want to steal the show. With a larger crowd you can get away with ignoring any stupid comments coming your way, therefore your message will come across clearer and smoother.

Answer 4

if my speech was really, really good and i have confidence in it, i would like the group of 3,000. i know that sounds crazier than your question because not everyone likes delivering speech in a big crowd, but i guess that if you want the whole world to know what a good speech you have, then might as well invite the whole world.

Answer 5

I shot a .3 hundred magazine and a .270 I stay in Idaho and all maximum in no way have had a shot under a hundred yards normaly extra like 2 hundred to 3 hundred yards I hand load all my bullets i like the one hundred sixty five gr. bullet in my .3 hundred magazine. it has a smoother flight development and from taking photographs and conversing to others the a hundred and fifty gr. bullet can tumble and you will omit by potential of a mile I even have shot dozens of Elk and a moose and a few deer with it and my spouse shot her moose with the .3 hundred magazine she is a a hundred thirty# lady and don't suggestions the balk that plenty yet we the two have .270's and she or he photographs it generally i take advantage of mine on deer and music canines and in basic terms taking photographs however the factor in taking photographs is to shoot plenty so we shoot our 30-30's and 22's plenty. no count how huge the gun in case you could no longer shoot nicely it wont count.

Answer 6

1 or 1million, wants you have to give a speech in front of an audience, it's all the same.
Just remember this, imagine that they are all naked.
Don't worry about eye contact, just kook over the sea of faces, and imagine they're naked.

Answer 7

I am not worried about the amount of people, I would prefer a smaller group so I had the chance to answer questions.

Answer 8

Probably the 3000. It would be easier to disappear into the crowd afterwards, but harder to get out of the parking lot.

Answer 9

neither, because it is so difficult to deliver a speech in front of any group

Answer 10

id choose the 30 because i wouldnt be as nervous..there would be as many people staring at me and i wouldnt feel as dumb if i messed up 3000 is alot of people to impress..
