How log is an average monologue?

Question

How log is an average monologue?

Answer 1

About 2 - 3 mins. Not long at all.

Answer 2

30 seconds - 3 minutes

Answer 3

I suspect there is no AVERAGE, but as a species I also suspect that non stop chatter for 5 minutes without a breath is too long.

   Hal Holbrook has done 90 minutes as mark Twain, but with breaks.

   The issue in part, is how much one can say about anything, in any time period, to make an impact, and not put any audience to sleep. Surely you may have been to school commencements, where you said to yourself, GEE GET IT OVER WITH ALREADY. With no offense to fellow Clergy, a 10 minute sermon is long.

   3 minutes would be lengthy enough, perhaps stretching to 5, but length of time has never been the issue. The message delivered is.

Just my 2 "scents"
