"All right, another tip for helping your audience remember your speech, or certainly--certain parts of your speech, is repetition. Some things in certain areas, certain fields, you're not supposed to keep repeating yourself, like when you write English papers. You don't want to keep repeating yourself. But in speeches, it's a good thing, it's a positive thing to--not all the time, but several times--continually repeat something. Especially something that you really want your audience to get. You can make statements like, "Now we've already talked about XYZ." Or, "Now remember, we talked about how important XYZ is," and "What you don't want to forget is XYZ." So, there's nothing wrong with repetition. It helps your audience, it keeps things fresh and helps them remember."
