How we calculate runtime
The voice-over industry standard reading pace is 150 words per minute for clear, neutral delivery. Faster reads (200 WPM) suit commercials; slower reads (120 WPM) suit audiobooks and corporate narration. We've used the standard pace here — your final runtime may vary by 10-15% based on tone, pauses, and pickups.
