1. Turn your speech into an outline\n2. Make it really short and to the point\n3. Turn each outline item into one 3x5 card, where your notes should be large and highly legible.\n4. Practice, practice, practice. In fact, practice at least 3 times.\n5. Time yourself. You will make more impact if you come up to the audience and said something like, "I am going to spend less than four minutes to tell you about..."

Just speak from your heart. Try to think of a main point to make, and then some supporting points. Start with something to get their attention, then end with a summary of what you spoke about. \n\nPractice in front of mirror a few times, don't memorize word for word, just memorize an outline.\n\nMake eye contact with a few people around the room.\n\nTry to avoid saying um...\n\nYou'll do great!

Tell him that people only remember the speeches that are truly touching and 'out of the box' for the person. If he wants to make a good impression that will be remembered he needs to have something special. The verse sounds good.

After following fungusbrain's solid advice, try to find mnemonic devices for important events.  Write down important events in order.  Do the first letters of each event spell a word, for instance?  Look for other ways in which they relate to help you remember them.

Tell me and I forget. Show me and I remember. Involve me and I understand.\n"Chinese proverb"\n\nThis is a great summary of auditory, visual and kinesthetic learning.

Write it down, then repeat it over and over at least seven times.  Close your eyes and try to visualize what you are trying to memorize.  Associate it with a picture, color, or person, anything that may help you recall.

Improving Your Memory\n\n1) Really think about you want to remember. If you wish to enter information into long-term memory, it is important to think about it. Ask questions about it, consider its meaning, and examine its relationship to information you already know. In other words, engage in “deep processing”. Doing so will help make the new information part of your existing knowledge frameworks – and increase your chances of remembering it at a later time.\n\n2) Pay careful attention to what you really want to remember. Unless you pay careful attention to information you want to remember, it stands little chance of really getting in” – into long-term memory. So, be sure to direct your full attention to the information you want to remember. True, it involves a bit of hard work, but in the long run, it will save you time and effort.\n\n3) Minimize interference. Interference is a major cause of forgetting, and, in general, the more similar materials are, the more likely they are to produce interference. In practical terms, this means that you should arrange your studying so that you don’t study similar objects one right after the other. Instead, work on subjects that are unrelated: the result may be less interference between them, better grades.\n\n4) Engage in distributed learning/practice. Don’t try to cram all the information you want to memorize into long-term storage at once. Rather, if possible, space your studying over several sessions – preferably several days. This is especially true if you want to retain the information for long periods of time rather than just the next examination.\n\n5) Use visual imagery and other mnemonics. You’ve probably already heard the saying ‘a picture is worth a thousand words’. Where memory is concerned, this is sometimes true; it is often easier to remember information associated with vivid mental images (e.g., Gehrig & Toglia, 1989). You can put this principle to use by adopting any one of several different mnemonics – tactics for improving memory. One of these, the method of loci, involves linking points you want to remember with visual images arranged in some familiar order. For instance, suppose you want to remember the points in a speech you will soon be delivering. You can imagine walking through some familiar place, say, your own home. Then, form a series of images in which each item you wish to remember is placed in a specific location. Perhaps the first point is “The greenhouse effect is real”. You might imagine a large, steamy greenhouse right outside your front door. The next point might be “Cutting down the rain forest is increasing the greenhouse effect”. For this one, you might imagine a large, cut down tree in your living room. You would form other images, in a different location, for the other points you want to make. Then, by taking an imaginary walk through your house, you can “see” each of these images and thus remember the points in your speech.\n\n6) Give yourself retrieval clues. Remember the concept of state-dependent retrieval? As noted previously, you can use this principle to provide yourself with extra retrieval cues and so help enhance your memory. For instance, if you studied for a test while in a physical state, try to be in the same state when you take it – this may help. Similarly, use the principle of mood-dependent memory. If you learned some material while in a given mood and then want to remember it, try to put yourself in this same mood. This is not as hard as it may sound: you can often vary your own mood by imagining happy or sad events. To the degree that your mood now matches your mood when you learned the information, your memory may be enhanced for it.\n\n7) Develop your own shortcut codes. To learn the names of the planets in our solar system, many children use the first letter technique, in which the first letter of each word in a phrase stands for an item to be remembered. So, the sentence “Mary’s Viol

Public Speaking is easy, I assume you don't think so, having asked these questions, so here's how I do it:\n\n* Know your stuff - know *about* what you are going to say, not *what* you are going to say\n* Don't prepare a speech and try and learn it. If you miss a line, you'll panic. Instead, remember what points you want to make, and the general flow of the speech. If you know your stuff, you'll naturally fill in the blanks\n* Time yourself talking about the subject - talking aloud to nobody is a bit weird, but it helps cement in your mind what you'll say, and check it meets the time slot given.\n* Slow down. It's easy to panic, rush through your stuff, and run out of material.

To give a truly great speech, you should pick a topic that you are really passionate about. When I taught, I always enjoyed the speeches that began with a question. They caught my attention and got me thinking about the topic immediately.\nRemember to do your research and present both facts and opinions. It's also good to sometimes argue both sides of the topic.\n~ Good Luck ~

I always found if I put myself in a small room with no other distractions, I could concentrate better.\n\nWrite things down, it helps you remember.\n\nMake up little hints to help you remember lists of facts...for example "my very efficient mother just served us nine pizzas" is a good way to remember the 9 planets.  So you could make up your own little sentence if you had to memorize the supreme court judges or the 5 senses, or whatever.

Associate the thing you want to memorize with an outlandish visual image.\nExample: You hear "Meditation from Thais" on the car radio and want to remember the name so you can buy it\n\nPicture Mahatma Ghandi in full lotus position\nHis eyes are closed and around his neck there is a huge tie with pictures of the sun rising over the ocean printed on it\n\nWhen you recell the image you will remember\n"Meditation" (Ghandi in Lotus position)\n"Tie" (the thing around his neck\n"East" (sunrise)\nThe more outrageous the visual image the more easily you will remember the associated word, name or phrase

Memory is linked to emotional/personal value (think about your clearest memories...usually there's intense sensory or emotional stuff going along with it). Depending on what you want the student to remember, bringing in music, dance, games such as hand clapping patterns, etc. all can help tremendously. Repetition is a big key, too, for fact recall, so drill, drill, drill!

Repetition does not guarantee memorization. Do you remember poems or speeches you had to give from memory in high school? I don't. The best way to improve memory is to associate the item with as many things as you can think of. Anything, sights, sounds, smells, words, feelings. The more the better. Saying it and hearing yourself say them is also important. But all in all, if you don't use it regularly, it will soon be relegated to your mental trash bin.

1. Plan. For every presentation, plan well. Everything can be overcome with the right amount of planning. Including stage freights.\n2. Articulate well. Practice in front of the mirror. Think everytime before you speak. When you are making a speech or presentation, you are trying to deliver a message or information. Keep in mind: what is most important is not how you look or how interesting what you are saying is, but how you deliver the message so that everybody understands. Talk slowly, take your time. If you're loud and clear, everybody will listen.\n3. Put the spotlight on the audience. Do not imagine that all eyes are on you. Imagine that all eyes are on them, like they themselves are on the stage and you are in their seats telling them what to do like director.\n4. Practice proper posture and gestures. This helps, and allows you not to be too verbal and express yourself in another way. It adds in the overall positive effect too.\n5. Be objective. Say only what you need to say, no less and no more.\n6. Have enough rest before every presentation. It clears your mind and lets you muster the confidence factor.\n7. Smile. (You're on candid camera. =) )
