In high school, we had a drama teacher who was extremely deliberate in his speech. It was an intentional choice, as he had been taught that the best way to ensure listeners understood you was to speak at a consistent pace. Unfortunately, he had somehow been informed that the preferred pace was 60 words per minute. Despite a deep and resonant pitch that could put Roman Mars to shame, this made listening to him excruciating, as his sentences often had a clear trajectory, and we could easily finish his sentences for him, yet he refused to alter his pace, interjecting pregnant pauses when he felt himself speaking too quickly.
