💡 3 Tips for a Successful Speech
Don't just focus on the word count; focus on how you deliver your message to the audience. Keep a steady pace of about 300 words per minute, and remember to pause after important keywords.
Always practice speaking aloud with a stopwatch before the actual event. People tend to speak faster when they are nervous, so try to speak slightly slower than your normal conversation pace.
