I am going to be in a play on Friday and I have 80 lines in total. I have about 20 more lines to memorize. I’m supposed to be off script today or tomorrow, so I’m really thankful for this! Thanks!

Hey man, you're a great teacher. Hands down you helped me accomplish my first stage play. Your methods as simple as they are latched onto my lazy persona easily hahaha! Stay safe sir, you'll make it far. 🙏

3:01 So this explains why pacing back and forth, the night of the show, backstage helps me!

These are valuable tips. If there's one area needing improvement, it's how any presenter appears in front of the camera.

By reading it thru different perspectives you are actually making the memory association stronger. When it comes to memory, it's like a balloon on its way up to the clouds. Try tying it's tail with different stones and you'll make it stay. Tie it with one stone and you'd lose it. Also what would make a stone heavy is dependent upon the emotions in it. If a certain memory has deep emotions behind it will always translate to long term.

Thank you oml I, needed this

@themodernactor

3 ай бұрын

Great question! I would use the last word of your partner's line as a trigger for you to respond with your next line. Another great exercise is to repeat each other's line before saying your next one. Not only does this help reinforce your memorization but it helps you really take in the intention of their last line to you. A common mistake factors have in these fast paced scenes is they are so focused on getting the lines down they forget to really listen and take in what their partner is saying to them. Hope this helps!!!

@themodernactor

2 ай бұрын

Great question! As you read the script using the 4 different perspectives your brain will start to memorize your cue word (your partner's line that triggers your next sentence). However, memorization is also about actively listening to what's being said to you. So many of your next lines will come naturally as true responses in the moment! Hope this helps!
