Narrative:

Departed cno. Requested flight following prior to takeoff; was given beacon code. VFR route of flight was direct emt ; then direct smo at a cruise of 2500 MSL. After takeoff; cno tower switched me to socal who switched me to emt tower as I entered their airspace. This is where the trouble started. I've been flying in the system for 10 years; with much of that time in constant communication with ATC. I have never encountered a more monotone; fast speaking controller than I did on the tower frequency at emt that afternoon. If I were a student pilot; I would have been extremely flustered and confused. I don't believe it was even a matter of having an extraordinary amount of aircraft in her airspace as there was plenty of idle time in between transmissions. In a nutshell; as what happens often with VFR pilots; she forgot about me and failed to hand me off to another socal frequency as I left emt class D. When I inquired; she simply told me to squawk VFR. At that time; I told her I was on flight following with a beacon code and requested the next frequency. She came back just as I was about to input the frequency from a chart. All the while; I descended from 2500 to 2300MSL to avoid busting lax class bravo bottom of 2500MSL. I don't believe I busted the lax class bravo airspace; but I am well aware and take many precautions to avoid any instances of being close. I would just like to emt tower controller to be made aware of her very fast speech while on frequency.
