Скачать или смотреть How Long is He Pausing? Morgan Freeman Analysis

Most people panic about pausing when they speak. OR forget about it all together. Morgan Freeman builds his entire impact around it in his acceptance speech.

In this clip, his average speech rate is about 107 words per minute (typical conversation is closer to 120–150 WPM), and his pauses are long…but they’re not empty. They’re doing very specific jobs:

🟡 Giving the audience time to feel what he just said🟡 Allowing space for connection and reflection🟡 Signaling that his words matter enough to sit with

We often obsess over “What do I say next?” and forget that silence is part of the message. Well-placed pauses can make your communication feel more grounded, more confident, and more human.

Save this as a reminder: the pause isn’t a glitch in your delivery. It’s a superpower.
