i'm trying to plan my 10 minute speech out, so i'm wondering how many A4 pages approximately is a 10 minute speech?

2 A4 typed, 12 font, so roughly about 1200 words should do ya with medium speed.

im writing a 6 mins speech with 1.5 page and 800 words.

so a 10 mins speech will be about 2 pages and 1350 words.

Depends on how fast you go. This week I did a 5 and a half minute speech 1200 words. So I'd say 3 to 3.5 pages in font 12 Times New Roman. You could do 4 pages possibly; though you don't want to talk too fast. :D

hot damn! 10 minutes
whats it on?

600 words for me is roughly 4 mins moderate pace
so 1500-1600 should be 10 mins moderate pace

The average speaking rate rests at around 120-180 words per minute. Therefore, for your speech, you shouldn't write any more than 1800. Personally, I'd be aiming for the 1200 mark, possibly even less to allow for emphasis.

I did 850 in 5 minutes exact with a decent speed. I reckon 1500 should do you.

I tend to do 750-800 words for a 4 minute speech.
That's at a speed slightly faster than normal.

Slowing it down, id say about 700 in 4 minutes.

So a 10 minute speech you might get 1500-1700 ish?
