Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Credibility is often based on the audience's perception of the speaker's expertise in the subject matter. Being a well-known expert can establish credibility quickly, but it is also possible to establish credibility through research and preparation even if the audience is not familiar with the speaker. Factors such as dress and time of day may contribute to the overall impression made by the speaker, but they are unlikely to be the primary factor in establishing credibility. The size of the audience may affect the methods used to establish credibility (e.g., larger audiences may require more formal introductions or stronger evidence of expertise), but it is not a defining factor in itself.
