do you think people find themselves more nervous giving speech infront of 30 people or 3,000 people?

Answer 1

It's all the same. I think If you're going to be nervous it could be one person there, and you'll be just as nervous as if it were 1000. I really don't think it matters.

Answer 2

30

Answer 3

30

Answer 4

30 ppl... cuz the less ppl u have listening to u won't see as many facial expressions, like i can't say a speech in front of 2 ppl but i can say it in front of 30 so the more the better

Answer 5

30 definitely. for some reason when there is a big crowd it's no big deal. I guess it's just a mass, a blob of people. however in front of 30 people you can see facial expression, boredom, etc

Answer 6

3000. there's so many more people to embarrass yourself in front of... also, the group of 30 will probably be more sympathetic if you make a mistake since the speech would be more intimate...

Answer 7

Absolutely. The larger the crowd,the easier it is to relate to it as one person. You can even converse with a large audience. It's one entity. Thirty people are thirty individuals,and that's a very uptight situation for the speaker.
An excellent question.

Answer 8

30 people scare me more that 3,000. It's more personal with that few people.

Answer 9

30 People because there isn't that many and they are all looking at you. 3,000 . I doubt they will all be listening and looking at you..

Answer 10

for me, definitely 3000...i'm a teacher, so i'm used to speaking in front of 30... :)
