The other night I did an event and I just have to be straight and tell you that I did not do a good enough job of thinking about the sound requirements. Make sure you don't make the same mistake!
In this case, we were holding a panel discussion. The room is not particularly large and the acoustics are not horrible, and I didn't even think about a sound system. Yes, I should have.
The problems arose in part because a couple of the members of our panel were low talkers (nod of the head to Seinfeld!). Honestly, these were candidates for political office so you would think they would figure out how to project to a crowd - but once they entered my event, the problem was mine, not theirs. There should have been a sound system for exactly this reason.
The other issue was that we had several people in the audience who were hearing impaired. A sound system would have helped, but it would have been even better to have had someone signing.
Yes, these are reminders for next time. Take them from me and you won't need to make this rookie mistake yourself.
