What's the most effective way to memorize a speech? Time out for one sec. I actually don't believe most people should try to memorize a speech. It's incredibly difficult, time consuming. There's a much greater chance of error if all of a sudden you freeze up and then people think, oh, this person's on a high wire. They're about to fall off. However, if you're determined to memorize a speech, I do want to help you. I do want to give you some tips. My recommendation is read the speech out loud many, many times. It starts to form grooves in your brain. Get to the point where you know it sounds good. You're reading it. I would print it out in large font, read it out loud, record it. Your cell phone has an audio memo recorder if you have any kind of a smartphone. Record it. Get to the point where you know it sounds good. If you could just memorize it, you'd be in great shape then. What I recommend is listen to it again and again and again on your drive to work. If you're on a subway, plane, bus, listen to it several times a day for a week or more. This will start to form grooves in your brain, and after a while, it becomes a story that's just easy for you to convey again because you're reliving it. So the whole key, recording it, getting one you like, getting a role model for yourself and it's in your own voice and then hearing it enough times so that it just becomes second nature.
