HOW FAST IS TOO FAST?
I’m often asked whether how quickly we speak influences how well others understand us. If you speak
clearly, speed shouldn’t be the reason why people misunderstand. But the problem is, as you speed up,
it gets harder for you to speak clearly. If you drop your word endings and everything mumbles
together, people might have a hard time understanding you. But, if you’re able to maintain crisp
enunciation despite your quick pace, your listeners shouldn’t have a problem.
More important than your speed is how you choose to group (or ‘chunk’) your words. Make sure that
your pauses, no matter how short, are in logical places. You should pause according to your
punctuation, after phrases and clauses or in order to emphasize important points.
So what is an average speaking pace? Listen for yourself and see what feels right to you. Which pace
do you prefer? In the three recordings below, I’ve read this passage at three different rates: one
hundred fifty words per minute, then two hundred words per minute, and finally two hundred fifty
words per minute. Try this exercise by recording yourself reading this passage and then check your
timing. This passage is exactly two hundred words.
