Rebecca Kiessling's Speech
Rebecca Kiessling
My speech is typically 25 to 40 minutes for a banquet, depending on what is on the agenda
for the event.  A school assembly is typically 50 to 60 minutes, depending on the length of a
school's typical class period and how long the principal would like the speech to be.  For a
college or university, it is usually 60 to 75 minutes, plus 30 to 60 minutes for Q & A and it
fit the audience and the time allotted, but much of the content is the same.
Here is the audio from a speech at the University of Maryland on March 1st, 2007.  At this
particular venue, there was a very loud air system in the room, which you will hear.
