| Speed of Speech?
How long does it take usually to read, at a reasonable pace, a speech/presentation? I need to read a speech in front of my class soon but I'm wondering if it will take too long. It's 8 pages single spaced Times New Roman Font, but with a lot of paragraph breaks. If you get rid of all the paragraph breaks it's about 4-5 pages.
Will I be able to read this outloud in under or around 15-20 minutes? There is a strict time limit that I need to read it outloud in so I was wondering if I need to shorten it even more, though I shortened it from the original 13 pages to this, and it's a heck of a lot of information [reinterpretation of US history going through major events] and so I can't condense it any more unless just be eliminating redundant words.
Thanks |
