Can you tell what this speed-talker is saying?
An ‘adventure mum’ who lives life in the fast lane can also talk in it too, speaking up to 603 words per-minute which has seen her land the title ‘world’s fastest talking woman’.
Fran Capo is a mum, adventurer, stand-up comic and author of 19 books – plus she can speak 11 words in a single second.
“I’ve been talking fast for [over] 20 years,” said Fran.
“It’s funny the way people react when I talk really fast, a lot of times they just look at me and go ‘huh?’.”
Boasting a Three Little Pigs cover-to-cover reading time of just 13 seconds, the New York-native landed the Guinness World Record for fastest talking woman live on TV in 1986, managing a staggering 585 words in a minute.
Not to be outdone by herself, the rapid talker managed to eclipse her own record just four years later, totaling 603 words inside 60 seconds – a record that is still yet to be beaten.
Providing a glimpse into what it’s like to be the world’s fastest talker – including a hilarious exchange with a bewildered sandwich shop worker – Fran spoke to The Wizard of Odd TV about her relentless lifestyle.
“[World Record Officials] do a couple of things,” she explained.
“First, they have a machine called the Lexicon Compressor and then, they have a speech analyst who analyses every single syllable, if you miss even one syllable the record is null and void.”
With Fran’s incredible adventures taking her from comic stage to book signings on the top of Kilimanjaro, keeping up with her whirlwind lifestyle is as hard as trying to keep up with her chatter.
“Someone once asked me ‘will you ever run out of words?’” she said.
“Never, my mind is constantly going.
“But, if I ever did, I’d be done speaking about twenty years ago.”
