How long is a 8min speech?

Approximately how many words would you need for an 8 minute speech?

Yes, I will be timing myself afterwards. But I just need a general guideline to get me close.

    Yeah, but that's an inaccurate method, to take one minute and multiply how many words by 8.

    Depends your speech moderation; how fast or how slow do you talk?

    The best thing to do is to probably just write as much as you can and time it. Edit it from there; cut out things or add more as needed.

    If you need more; expand on things. If you have too much; take out some extra, unneeded information.

    Good luck Mickel. :)
