A 3-minute speech typically contains about 390 to 450 words.
Explanation:
- The average person speaks at a rate of 130 to 150 words per minute.
- For 3 minutes:
130 words/min × 3 min = 390 words (slow pace)
150 words/min × 3 min = 450 words (normal pace)
If you speak faster or slower, this number will vary. For a clear and well- paced speech, aim for around 400 to 450 words.
