How to Memorize a Speech | Scott H Young

• The key to memorizing a speech is to memorize it hierarchically. You begin with the broad chunks, moving to specific paragraphs, phrases, up until the intonation and your timing with the words.
• When starting with the chunks you simply write out the main points of the speech then cover them up and recall them.
• Moving up to the small points you can expand your bullets to represent each idea with one or two key words and quiz yourself until you have it memorized.

Now that you've written your speech down and practiced it more than a hundred times, you're about to go on stage to perform.

Remember the chunks you've written down and place your attention mostly on the things you want to say, because the how of the delivery will simple come out however you've practiced it most
