The pause has a huge role in the overall delivery of your speech. The pause, for example, is when you breathe. If you're not breathing effectively, public speaking will be an unpleasant experience for you and the audience. Speaking too fast makes it hard for the audience; your voice flattens out and steals the vitality of your delivery. Some nervous and novice speakers just want to get on and off stage as soon as possible. That is hardly serving the audience. Quite the reverse. Slow down, pause, and breathe. The audience will wait for you if you have something valuable to say.
