Speaking more than 150wpm on average puts a strain on audience listening and comprehension. 120 plus or minus 20 is the gold standard.

WPM Avg

Pace per 20-second interval

Mumble Meter

💡 Tip

If you speak faster than 5 syllables per second, you're likely to make comprehension difficult for most people, particularly children, ESL, or audiences learning new concepts.

The best science communicators, podcasters, keynote speakers, etc, have extraordinarily high percentages (30% to 60%) of content about specific people doing specific things. This is the stuff of character driven story.

The best science communicators, podcasters, keynote speakers, etc, have moderate percentages (20% to 40%) of content about things people can see. This is the stuff of using concepts familiar to audiences to explain new ideas.

Signal-Noise Ratio

💡 Tip

If every sentence is trying to make one point, then the more words needed to make that point dilute and weaken the message. Sentences over 15 words on average have a message that is likely to require audiences to make their own interpretations; risking a lack of mutual understanding.

Sentence Complexity

💡 Tip

Anything under Grade 10 is considered Plain English to native English speakers. Even when speaking to highly technical audiences (like PhDs) it's not advisable to speak above Grade 12, which usually has sentences over 17 words and frequent use of words with 3 or more syllables.
