A short instructional YouTube video by TJ Walker about how a speaker's pace affects audience reception. It observes that nervous speakers tend to rush, speaking too fast, while skilled speakers vary pace and pause to give the audience time to listen and react (laugh, cry, applaud, nod).
Are you mindful of how the pace of your speech affects your audience and the reception that you get? Well, it does, and that's because most speakers are nervous and they want to hurry up and finish their speech. So their pace is too consistently fast. Great speakers don't do that. They give an opportunity to the audience to listen, to respond, to laugh, to cry, to applaud and to nod.
