hi! i have a tournament tomorrow and i just finished my oratory on monday lol. i’m mostly memorized but i’m not super comfortable yet and i know the writing is not great. do you have any tips for memorizing quickly? and tips for overall being an engaging speaker? thank you so so much
Bruh me
I've shared some tips before on this, but one I've tried out recently is writing the parts you're not comfortable with in WASHABLE (vvv important) crayola markers on the walls of your shower, then going over your piece in the shower. (This sounds incredibly weird but it works)
Write down all you can remember from your piece without looking at it, then comparing the two before doing it again, this one works soooo well
Hallways, hallways, hallways! Ain't nothing like practicing like you preform!!
No but seriously if you find yourself in a situation the day before where you don't have to do anything for a solid 10 minutes just do your piece. Even if you have to murmur/mouth it it's still good practice for your memory and brain.
Good luck!!!
