Slide presentations tend to be closer to 100â125 wpm for a comfortable pace, auctioneers can speak at about 250 wpm, and the fastest speaking policy debaters speak from 350 to over 500 words per minute. Internet speech calculators show that various things influence words per minute including nervousness.
Letâs say you have a longer presentation, say 35 minutes. Again, subtract 15% for the âbeginning and endâ, which leaves about 30 minutes. Divide that by 4 (or 3 or 5 depending on how main ideas or main sections youâve got). For this example, youâd end up with about 7.5 minutes per main idea.
