On my first job, I was assigned to a charity that I was supposed to raise money for. They put me in front of a group of about 350 people and I would ask for money with a video that would invariably break down. I was too young to be too nervous about it.
That was probably the biggest crowd I’ve spoken in front of that I can recall.
What’s the biggest group you’ve spoken in front of?
I had maybe about 80 people when I was heading a project at work and had to give a technical presentation. I was a little apprehensive, but when was ok once I got going.
Probably about 35 people . Talk about my interest in the paranormal and my personal experiences . 45 mins flies by in a flash , I could talk for longer!
We had to give presentations in front of the whole lecture theatre at university.
Addressing the Haggis in front of about 500
i also had to hypnotise about 200 hypnotherapists
but when i was 18 i played the tennor drum in a Pipe-Band at Hampden Park in front of a crowd of over 100,000 cheering Jocks, so after that everything else was a walk in the park…
About 250 on a electrical forum on power electronics.
About 100. Father’s speech at our daughter’s wedding reception.
Around 120 at our wedding,being family and friends made it easy.
Over the years, I’ve spoken to several larger groups.
Mostly groups of 100-130 in the bigger times. At library conventions, Historical Society presentations, Town Board meetings.
I prefer the smaller groups myself. You can connect better with your audience.
