The answer depends on the speaker, the speech type and the speech setting.<\/p>\n<h3>The speaking speed of the speaker<\/h3>\n<p>Some speakers are natural fast or slow speakers. The best speakers keep a variance during their speeches. They speed up to keep momentum and slow down to put special emphasis on other parts.<\/p>\n<h3>The speech type<\/h3>\n<p>The type of speech matters a lot in selecting the right speech speed. If you read the whole speech word for word from paper then your average speech speed will be lower. If you intend to use the written speech as speaker notes then your average speaking speed will be much higher.<\/p>\n<h3>The speech setting<\/h3>\n<p>An informal setting will have a faster average speaking speed compared to a more formal setting.<\/p>\n<p>Keeping all three factors in mind you will able make a better judgement about selecting the right speech speed in the speech calculator.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><div class='av-extra-border-element border-extra-diagonal  '><div class='av-extra-border-outer'><div class='av-extra-border-inner'  style='background-color:#ffffff;' ><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id='after_section_3'  class='main_color av_default_container_wrap container_wrap sidebar_right' style=' '  ><div class='container' ><div class='template-page content  av-content-small alpha units'><div class='post-entry post-entry-type-page post-entry-287'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With this speech calculator, you can easily calculate how long it will take you to deliver a speech.<\/p>\n<p>Professional speechwriters use this speech calculator to find out how long a speech takes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":302,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-287","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/debatrix.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/287","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/debatrix.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/debatrix.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/debatrix.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/debatrix.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=287"}],"version-history":[{"count":55,"href":"https:\/\/debatrix.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/287\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1687,"href":"https:\/\/debatrix.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/287\/revisions\/1687"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/debatrix.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/302"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/debatrix.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=287"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
