Hi there! Thanks for clicking by today. Trust you are well...? Well or not, a refreshing mug of coffee and a virtual treat should go down nicely. Say...do you talk fast? Here's a lady who's setting speed records with her vocal chords...
‘Motor mouth’ Fran Capo is a fast talker – the woman can
churn out over 600 words a minute, or 11 words per second! At such high
speeds, you might not always be able to understand what she’s saying. I
just watched a video of her telling the story of The Three Little Pigs
in 15 seconds flat, and I was totally lost.
But comprehensibility is obviously not what she’s aiming
for when she’s trying to break a record.
The ‘Fast Talker
Extraordinaire’ holds the Guinness World Record for being the fastest
female talker in the world – she actually broke this record twice. She
was also featured in the Ripley’s Believe it or Not – Planet Eccentric
Book and in the Book of Alternative Records.
A native of New York, Fran has always been a fast talker.
“Ever since I was a kid, I started doing it,” she said. “I didn’t say,
‘One day I’m going to grow up and be a fast talker,’ you know.” She
started her career as a stand-up comic and sort of stumbled into
breaking records along the way.
Fran is a stand-up New York comic, motivational speaker, 18 time author, spokesperson, TV
host, comedy producer and 6 time world record holder most known as the
Guinness Book of World Records fastest talking female clocked at 603.32
