Q: Sorry about the catergory. I have an oratory contest this weekend, Sunday. The woman in charge told me that it is not neccessary, but would greatly improve my score if I had my speech memorized. I have already submitted my speech, and it falls into their time limits - five to seven minutes.
So how can I prepare for this. I don't think I'll have too much trouble with memorizing the three pages. What would be the best way to memorize it or learn it. I need to stick to the speech if I did memorize it - so that would mean keep my ideas in order.
Also, I'm afraid that when it comes to actually speaking, I'll get stage fright (heart stomping out of your chest feeling). That always messes me up. Any ideas or suggestions? Things to remember for when I practice? How to practice? Thanks a lot - will rate.

Memorizing your Speech: A trick I learned in my Speech and Drama class was to
read
read over
read over your
read over your lines
read over your lines one
read over your lines one word
read over your lines one word at
read over your lines one word at a
read over your lines one word at a time.
It never fails.

Practicing: Always infront of a mirror, or an audience (even if it's just your dog.) If your audience is human you can get feed back from them, if it's the dog, at least you will have gone through the speech with someone watching.
~
Besting Stage Fright: KNOW YOUR SPEECH. Seriously, being completely comfortable with the material before you go on is a MUST. When your up there - remember to breathe (deep breaths will help you stay calm,) relax, and smile :)
Good Luck!
