Who else is here because they were procrastinating?
I'm literally watching this because i have a speech to do in a language I barely know about lol
@@C1xmm_was_h3re real😭I have to do 2 speeches tmr
my first lead proformance is in 2 weeks and im less than half memorized
I preform a play as the main character in less then a month and I barely know the first 2 scenes 😭😭
@@meghangacha6250 do you not have rehersals? I barely put effort into memorization for my first lead role (I proformed 4 days ago) because rehersing on stage with a script just gives you such a good sense of the lines
You literally saved my life 2 days before my audition. 😭
Glad to help!!
I have a monologue I have to do in 10 days and it's 5 pages long (standard size) in 10 size font. I'm screwed.
I have a 6 page script i have to act in 5 days!!
I believe in you that you got your monologue memorized in time!!
I memorized my remaining 200+ lines the last 2 days of tech before opening Hamlet. Anything is possible. The human brain is capable of so much.
Dude i gotta memorize a 12 page script by 2:30 pm tmr and its 10:41pm rn 😭😭
God abeg
@@marcelineevans2127 how did it go?
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. 🙏
Thanks for the awesome feedback Riz! Glad I could help!
I knew I was onto something going on those walks, but the reading it from different perspectives is genius. Definitely going to add that. Thank you!
yall I'm watching this when i have a 2 page scrips i have to memorize for a school play thats happening in 30 mins. can i still do it
Did u do it
Before watching this vid when my audition is in 2 days and I gotta learn 7 damn pages of the script: Imma dead bro how am I gonna show my face to my friends!? And teachers!?
Me after the vid: oh 😅 I thought the world would collide but it's a nice sunny day 😂😂
When do you know when to speak. Or does that come with reading the whole script over and over
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!
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.
I'd be screwed without this, Thanks
Perfect! I've actually been doing many of these myself and nice to see I'm on the right track. Thanks for the tips!
You're so welcome!
3:01 So this explains why pacing back and forth, the night of the show, backstage helps me!
i have my highschool musical play for drama and we started it a bit late, the plays on tuesday and i barely know my lines because it’s been so rushed. gonna try this out tonight until tuesday and see how it works, thanks man
Break a leg!
I have a script I had to learn on around 3 weeks and it has 97 lines if ur wondering I’m the sheriff of Nottingham in the movie Robin Hood it’s the second main role and has the most amount of lines 😅
I am in the play Waiting for Godot as Estragon and most of my lines are a word or a sentence like ping pong with the other actor. Do I learn the other lines or at least the last word or phrase before my line?
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!!!
The covering the next line and then revealing it to check yourself was super helpful!
Glad that one helped!
Start at 2:20
Thank you so much! I’m the main character in a play and I really struggled with remembering my script so this really did help. :D
Im supposed to be completely of script by tomorrow and im almost finished but im having trouble with remebering my ques so hoping this works
I have an audition in 3 weeks would it be possible to memorize 2 monologues? Its 18 lines total
Absolutely! Repetition...repetition! You've got this! 3 weeks is plenty of time
Im a understudy for a huge part freaking out
so many videos out there are just rambling for 10 minutes but the way you explained the tips is so clear, thanks man !
You're so welcome!
This is solid info thank you
You're so welcome man!
I really liked this video. It was very informative but also gave me a different slant on memorising lines. Doing the actions as well helped give me an idea of how to portray the character, and also helped me become that character. Well done, and thank you for sharing.
Thanks for giving it a watch and for sharing such an insightful review! Best of luck
Thanks for the video 🎭👍🏽
You're so welcome! Glad it helped!
Literally have a play tomorrow and don’t have any of the script memorized
how’d it go u gotta tell me
I have to memorize 100 lines with less than one hour before my dress rehearsal.. Opening night is on Friday, im screwed..
Not an audition, but i have a 5 minute pitch that i need to write and memorise. Im awful at memorising things, and while it does help that im writing my own script, this video will (hopefully) help a ton. Thank you!
Dang I'm not an actor or anything but I admire him for how clean and well he articulates things. Would that be from acting too I wonder 😀
Alright but how do you do it if you jave no experience and have tourettes and ADHD
Loving the subtle merch drop. Veeeery clever
I have 3 days to remember 2 of Hamlet's monologue from, well, Hamlet. Thanks for your help.
Smart actor!😊 Thank you!
Thank you ! Hope it helps :)
Bro I legit have to memorize my lines as Dorothy by 8:00 AM tomorrow, wish me luck
Break a leg! Keep working on it tonight. Record yourself doing it as well. Run your lines before you go to bed as well
Thanks, this will help me out on my path to an actor
I gotta memorise a 6 page script in 3 days. I rlly hope this helps
These are valuable tips. If there's one area needing improvement, it's how any presenter appears in front of the camera.
Thank you for sharing this valuable insight. I am trying to get back on acting and this is super helpful. I have my casting in two weeks. Wish me luck!
Wohoo Break a leg!! Glad to be able to help out
This video has helped me so much! I found other TH-cam advice convoluted, this was much simpler and I’m sure will help. Thanks!
I have a 73 page script to memorise within the next 5 weeks, it's my first actual play, macbeth by Shakespeare and as someone whos new to acting, getting the role of macbeth is a lot of pressure and I hope this works
Use the different perspectives for sure!
And here I am, not even able to remember what I had for breakfast somedays
The active part makes sense! I had to learn 106 songs acapella in less than three months
And I found that I retained the melody and script better when I was on the cycling machine!
Wow! Thanks for the awesome feedback! Glad you agree with this too.
Thanks a lot! This accualy helped. I have to know my lines due to tomorrow and ik something and i learned the rest of it by the walking technique
I always find it helpful to move when i memorize. I also think it helps me add movement into my scenes as well!
I'm always impressed by actors/singers who can memorise stuff well, I am dreadful at it, so bad I wrote a software tool to help do it.
This is so good! I just got a part in a movie trailer so I definitely need to learn how to memorize a script. I'm so excited!😆
Wow congrats on booking the part! Major accomplishment. Glad to be of help.
Even better than printing and holding your hand over the next part is flash cards, as they're easier to work with
Thank you oml I, needed this
Bro I literally have romeo and Juliet this week and I have to learn the second half of my lines 💀
my teacher literally gave me 1 week to memorize a whole book of lines thanks so much
I need this so badly, I have 7 days to memorise and do my self tape audition for an agency
Hope this helps!!
Hope it went well today!
@@HadleyPaceoh, I forgot I made the comment 😂😅 I didn’t manage to get in but I recently did get a massive role in volunteering work in my town and it turns out that I got the main part for it so it will be all over my town but yeah thanks for your kind words
@@themodernactorit helped a lot I am so grateful so thank you, I have a workshop for the summer so I shall be learning the lines within a week and hopefully I will accomplish that too.🤞

Thank you for this great approach- I am a theatre teacher, and have shared your method with my students as another approach to learning lines quickly.
Wow! Thanks for the feedback!
