Type
First write down whatever you have to memorize in the speech you are planning to give. After you are done with writing it down, type it down so that you are also revising it in a way. Typing is necessary because on a computer there are not problems of handwriting and you can clearly see what you want to memorize. -

Record
Once you have written down everything then read it and record it on a tape, or even on your phone. This will really help you revise whatever you are trying to memorize.

Moreover, you can later listen to the speech and it will really help you remember things. -

Segments
There are definitely different segments to your speech. It could be the number of points you are trying to make, or the different scenarios that you are trying to explain. Therefore, you have to memorize each and every segment one by one. Do not move to the next segment before you are done with the first one. It is absolutely necessary to remember each and every segment and even if you do not remember all the things which are a part of the segment, it is okay. -
