Stand in front of a mirror, and repeat 2 sentences at a time until you have them memorized, then move on to the next 2, reciting all FOUR lines, until you have them memorized, and move on until eventually, you can say the whole thing. Give someone the paper to double check you're saying it right, then at least once a day, recite the whole speech to make sure you haven't forgotten. In the hours leading to the event, if you're a nervous speaker, recite it every hour leading up and you should be fine.

If you know how to do it, record yourself and then put the recording on your iPod for the next few days and listen to it constantly. I have no idea how to do it but I wish I did. rolleyes.gif

Use some recording device on your computer (there are numerous, including sound recorder which comes with Windows) then use a conversion program to mp3 (DBPowerAMP, I find, is easy to use)

Works very well. I had to memorize a large chunk of my Othello lines in grade 11 (when i was 16). And that's what I did. Do it everyday though. You can't cram it all in your head in 1 day. So always review it so that it gets stapled into your head.
