Know your topic thoroughly but don't memorize a speech. Memorized language is easy to detect and it sounds fake to native speakers. As long as you know your topic well and know the important points you need to make, you can speak without writing a speech in advance. This also makes you sound more authentic; people will believe you're talking to them, not at them (speeches are often, not always, one sided and don't take the audience into account).
