How many words are in a two minute speech?
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

So a two minute speech is most likely to be from 240 to 360 words.

The last link is an article by a trial lawyer. Lots of advice on making an impactful speech including talking fast or slow, loud or soft etc.

For the audience to hear you with ease, you should be saying around 300-320 words in two minutes (150-160 in a minute).
You could slow down your speech and reduce it to about 280-300 words, however it would mean the pace would be slower and sometimes this may effect how you present it. If you keep it slow, it must be up tempo, otherwise you'll bore your audience!
Some speakers can say about 180+ words. However, if you are going to go to this level, then you must remember that the audience may not be able to heart everything you say. It is like fast forward on a DVD - you can hear some words but not everything!
Hope this helps!
