This can easily be checked with Matlab... digitize your 5-second speech with one of the many programs that allow to do 
that, producing a WAV file, then import that WAV file into Matlab, compute an FFT of it, do an inverse FFT, then 
playback the resulting data. If your digitization respected the Nyquist criterion, what you will hear is 
indistinguishable from the playback of the original WAV file.
