Question

How many words make up a 4-minute speech?

Answer 1

It Depends On How Fast Your Talking And If You Emphasize Your Words.

Answer 2

i like the answers you got so far...

though my suggestion wud be that you write your speech, and time yourself. Read it out properly with punctuation pauses and proper enunciation. Depending on the lenght, u'll either have to add a few points, or remove a few.. goodluck =D

Answer 3

It depends entirely on how fast you're talking and how many syllables those words consist of. I usually say six syllables ("This is a sen-ten-ce") in a second, just about, so 1440 syllables should do it for me. How many words that translates into is up to you.

Answer 4

Only you can determine this. A lot has to do with how much you want to emphasize certain points.  

Answer 5

Take how many words you can say in one minute and multiply that by 4.

Or write your speech and time yourself.

Answer 6

It depends how fast or slow you speak...
