Speaking paceWPM

Definition

How fast you speak, measured in words per minute (WPM). English is counted by words; Korean is sometimes measured by syllables.

In depth

For English presentations, a comfortable pace is often around 130-160 WPM (the average US adult conversation runs about 150 WPM). Too fast blurs your point; too slow drags. What actually matters more than a steady speed is deliberately slowing down on the key parts.

Tip

Record the same section again in Bloom Speech and listen to your first and latest takes. Try pausing briefly before the key sentence.
