What’s a Normal Speaking Pace in Videos?
Most voiceovers and explainer videos range between 120 and 150 words per minute, depending on tone, audience, and complexity. Slower paces (100–115 wpm) are used for dramatic reads or senior audiences. Faster paces (170–190 wpm) are common in high-energy or YouTube-style delivery.
