My spare time this week is going to be all about memorization. I'm working on two scripts at once for performances that are a week apart. I love performing but, let's face it, line learning kind of sucks. Some people breeze right through it while others (me) really struggle with it.
The good thing is that memorization is a muscle that gets stronger the more you use it. Through lots of trial and error, I've developed my own six-step line learning system to exercise my memory muscle.
Step One: Read for Comprehension
Read through the entire script to truly digest what is going on. Reading for comprehension gives you clues about your character and how he or she reacts to what's going on in the story. Knowing the story and what happens next is crucial to learning your lines.
