DESCRIPTION
•Speaking with advanced preparation
•Planned and rehearsed speech
•Reciting a written message word-for-word
from memory
SPEAKING
SITUATIONS
• When you perform in a stage play
• When you deliver a declamation,
oratorical, or literary piece
• When an actor or actress in a scene
performs a script from memory
ADVANTAGES
• Exact repetition of the written
words from memory
• Free to move around the stage
DISADVANTAGES
• Speakers might end up speaking in a
monotone pattern. Alternatively, he/she
might take a fast pace.
• When the speaker cannot control his/her stage
fright, he/she might have
difficulty remembering his/her memorized
speech.
TIPS
• Rehearse the speech over and over again
until you sound natural and feel
confident.
• Observe how actors/actresses perform
their script in a theater, television, or
movie scenes.
TIPS IN MEMORIZING A
SPEECH
• 1. Break it down! You cannot memorize a
speech in one sitting. If your speech has four
paragraphs, you should focus on one
paragraph at a time. Once you have memorized
the first paragraph, focus on the next one.
TIPS IN MEMORIZING A
SPEECH
• 2. Build it up! After memorizing the speech in
snippets, you need to put them together. Recite
the first paragraph and move on to the second.
After this, recite the first and second
paragraphs and move on to the third. The next
thing you know, you have completed your
speech.
TIPS IN MEMORIZING A
SPEECH
•3. Speak out! Do not memorize the speech
silently. When you recite your speech over
and over while memorizing it, your brain
multitasks and aids your memory retention.
TIPS IN MEMORIZING A
SPEECH
•4. Identify keys! Identify a key point in
every paragraph. Even if you miss out some
of the words in the actual speech delivery,
you can easily expound on the key points.
TIPS IN MEMORIZING A
SPEECH
•5. Have a break! After memorizing some
parts of your speech, take a break for some
hours or for a day. After this, recite the
speech again. This will test how well you
can recall what you think you have
memorized.
TIPS IN MEMORIZING A
SPEECH
•6. Record and listen! Record yourself
delivering the speech and listen to it over
and over again. Like a song, the speech will
get stuck in your head.
TIPS IN MEMORIZING A
SPEECH
•7. Use note cards! Write one key point on
one note card. Bring these note cards
wherever you go and take them out
whenever you have extra time to memorize,
especially during idle times of the day.
Invictus
BY WILLIAM ERNEST HENLEY

Out of the night that covers me,


Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate,
I am the captain of my soul.
