Practice
By practice I certainly do not mean 'mugging up' everything. While practicing you have to read the speech again and again and try to remember the sequence of thoughts. After a few careful reads, things will come to mind easily.

Trial Speech
This is one of the best public speaking techniques. Once you think you are prepared completely, take a trial speech. You can go the actual venue if possible and deliver a speech standing on the stage imagining the audience. If not, you can stand front of the mirror or ask your parents to be the audience and deliver the speech.
