Use a Church Microphone With More Than 40 People

Bert Decker of Create Your Communications Experience (also the author of some excellent books I’ve enjoyed reading) suggests using a microphone when speaking to more than 40 people.

He says you also want voice amplification if :

1. You talk softly
2. The room is large
3. You want to use special vocal effects like whispers
4. A stage presence will add impact to your presentation

Decker’s Top 10 Best Communicators of 2006

Bert Decker, author of the excellent book Preaching with Bold Assurance and who blogs at Create Your Communications Experience (I’m a feedreader), has a pretty neat list of the 10 best and worst communicators of 2006.

I thought I’d mention two people on the list with short commentary …

2. Rick Warren - On Christmas day, we watched him on Fox presenting the Gospel. What I love about Rick (I don’t know him personally if you couldn’t guess) is that he knows how to wield marketing practices for use in the mission of the church. His PEACE Plan is revolutionary and I’ll be watching closely (and praying) as he takes the Gospel to the globe.

7. Guy Kawasaki — Guy’s blog How to Change the World is one of the best blogs on the Internet. It’s extremely sharp. And although it’s geared more for entrepreneurs, etc., there’s a lot of useful, applicable information for pastors and churches. His book Art of the Start is worth putting on your bookshelf. Also, his post on the 10/20/30 Rule for PowerPoint is a classic.
