Pages vs. minutes for scripts and speeches
Pages tell a teacher how long your paper is. Minutes tell you how long your audience will sit there. A double-spaced page of a speech runs about 1 minute and 40 seconds at a regular pace.
Screenplays play by a different rule of thumb. In standard screenplay format, one page runs about one minute of screen time, because dialogue and white space take up most of the page.
If anyone is going to hear it, time your script instead of counting pages.
