How Long Should The Speech Be?

Deciding on the right of time for your speech

A good speech will reference the merits of the person, group, or project concerned without getting lost in specifics. It's not too short, nor is it too long. As the advice goes, "Talk about anything, just not for more than 5 minutes." Of course, sometimes a longer speech is fitting – but it depends on the context of the event.
