LESSON 7
The fastest talker in the world

Sean Shannon: My name is Sean Shannon and I set a fast talking record. I recited Hamlet's soliloquy, which is 262 words in just 23.8 seconds and that means I'm speaking at over ten words a second.

It'll take about 23.8 seconds and it'll be hard to understand any of the words but here I go! [recites Hamlet's soliloquy] That's it!

I'll do it slowly and speed it up a bit so you get the idea of how it changes. To be or not to be? That is the question. And a little faster... To be or not to be? That is the question. And a little faster... To be or not to be? That is the question. And now really fast... To be or not to be? That is the question.
