·        A fast read can lead to reduction in intonation, leading to a machine-gun fire style as you rush to squeeze more script into fewer seconds

·        If you are reading quickly, you have less time for your eyes to ‘read ahead’; and your brain to process what’s coming up … which could lead to more tongue-tied talking

·        Saying a word or phrase faster tells your listener that it is ‘insignificant information’ (remember we covered this in the chapter on intonation) and is included for ‘background’ or context. You’re communicating the message that what you are saying is unimpressive, uninteresting. Is that really the impression you want to give them?
