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. (link)

ok so im in debate and i kind of get where your coming from because in congress and extemp your supposed to have your speech memorized as well. try to remember key points if you can memorize that everything else should fall in place.
As far as the time limit goes try to speak clearly and not necessarily slow but not so fast no one can understand you which may be hard if your nervous. The thing is when being in front of an audience it takes practice to get over stage fright make your speach in front of friends and family and practice. if you practice you shouldnt be as nervous. good luck!
