I've used an app called Script Rehearser. just entering the text needed, helped me to retain it. additionally, the pro feature allows for voice recording. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rehearser.rehearser3free
Actors have multiple systems to memorize lines for a script. There are apps like Script Rehearser that depending on your jurisdiction you may be able to use. Likewise some people have set up Quizlet scripts that are legal in their jurisdiction. (And probably will have slightly different wording than your jurisdiction)
Learning Masonic Ritual has an entire developed system that is also pretty useful.
Try Mullen Memory.
As has been pointed out before, masonic lodges were set up for the Memory Palace work. You can just stand in the lodge room, think of the normal path you circumambulate in, and use the memory palace technique along that path to memorize the key words you need for a lecture as a series of little picture-stories at each locus.
There are also memory apps used by actors like Script Rehearser that will let you drill multiple times per day whenever you find yourself with a few minutes of down-time.
Rick Smith's system has worked for a lot of British masons: Five minutes when you first wake up memorizing one new sentence and linking it to the previous's days line. Review 4 times through the day about two minutes each time with an app. Don't even try after 6pm. Next morning try sentence again. If recalled, move to next sentence. If not, work on same sentence again. 2nd stage is working on large groups of the memorized sentences together. Usually another week. 3rd stage is working on presentation and "not being boring."
It's much easier to approach a sentence a day at about 15 minutes spread over each day, than trying to cram it all in too fast. I found his short book worth reading to learn his memory system, even though the actual rituals are a bit different than the US. (He carefully avoids spoilers that would reveal any masonic secrets, so it's perfectly safe to read even for non-masons)
I used Script Rehearser for this
Also, if you have an Android phone (I'm sure there's probably an iPhone version too), this line memorisation app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rehearser.rehearser3free
The first mnemonic every EA learns is "Time For Prune Juice". To remember the four cardinal virtues: Temperance, Fortitude, Prudence and Justice.

(He carefully avoids spoilers that would reveal any masonic secrets, so it's perfectly safe to read even for non-masons) There are also many memory triggers worked into the lectures, and to a lesser degree the proficiencies, including rhyme (you’ll notice “apron” is almost always followed by "mason"), alliteration, but also assonance, consonance, a fondness for alphabetically ordered wording, and other letter relations between words. Discovering them is one of the pleasures of study.
A discussion we often have with EAs is how is a “secret” different from a “mystery”? At first they seem to be used interchangeably, but they aren't. Studying this difference in the proficiency is rewarding.
