What's Louder: The Voice or The Message?

Speakers and speeches go hand in hand, but which of the two gets the most attention? Does it even matter?

If you have a message that absolutely needs to be conveyed, but your speaker is second best, will people actually pay attention?

If you have a Grade-A speaker, but your message is faulty or improper, will your audience accept the speech just because the speaker is famous?

When we think of Martin Luther King Jr. and Adolf Hitler side by side, what do they have in common? They both had high standing as well known, powerful speakers. People listened to them for this reason. But not only this reason. They both passionately stood behind their messages.

Their messages couldn't have been any more different from each other. One message stood for freedom and unity while another stood for separation and eradication.

Both of these men made incredible impacts in history.

Was it because their message was effective or their fame as speakers took them as far as they went in their lives?
