Question by : is there anyway to learn a talk (public speaking) quickly?
i also have to learn a script aswell in the quickest time possible

Best answer:

Answer by Domc
For your script, break it into easily memorized parts. Just take small paragraphs at a time. If you have monologues, break them into beats (beats are pauses in speech you make when your character would be thinking) and memorize it that way, as it will come much more naturally. For your speech, do the same. Break it into more manageable parts and work at it that way. When it comes to speaking in front of others, just remember that practice and repetition are key. Good luck!
