1.

Type up what you need to memorise, whether it's a speech, presentation, or something
else. However, it also helps to handwrite it. If you choose this option, write in blue. This will
make it easier to remember.

2. Record what you need to memorise. Do this preferably on a computer, and record it both in its
entirety and in segments about 1 minute long.

3. Listen to each segment in order of the presentation throughout the night. You can do this while
working on simple tasks, such as making posters or a PowerPoint visual aid, to assist in the
delivery of the speech

 Palm cards will help split the speech into smaller, more manageable sections of text.
Read it three times, then look away and try to recite it without checking until it's
done.

4. Once you have one segment memorised completely, move onto the next one.

5. Once you have memorised all segments and are done with the visual aids, practice delivering
them as you would with your audience, allowing yourself to get used to using them
together. Act like the audience is there, try to make your voice loud and clear and maybe this
will drive you into learning the speech faster.

6. When you go to sleep, set your computer to play the recording in its entirety on repeat so that
it will play through the night. This helps keep what you have memorised from slipping from
your mind during the night. Do this only if you need to.

7. Wake up about 15 to 30 minutes early to go through your presentation a few times.

8. Transfer the recorded segments of your presentation to your iPod/mp3 player and listen to
segments you might have trouble with throughout the day leading up to when you must
present your presentation or segments that you might think you need to work on.

9. Relax and give your presentation naturally and successfully. Remember to use hand motions
and to interact with the audience.
