Default Memorizing ability

One of good ways to prepare yourself for any creative career is to develop your memory. Anyone knows what a pain it can be to memorize your part of the script... especially when you audition for a role and haven't really been able to get into it but still have to remember. Actors’ lives are surrounded by constant memorization. Ability to memorize is one of the paramount in one’s career as an actor/actress. This is when memorizing SKILL comes in handy. There is a lot of actors that use some sort of mnemonic techniques in order to remember their lines but most of it is useless. How about an already developed and tested program that will teach you how to memorize in large volumes, a program that will help you remember not only the scripts but also names, numbers, complicated notions, etc... check it out here

Default Re: Memorizing ability

The way I learned how to memorize was that I write out all my dialogue in one constant run on sentence. (Sometimes more than four pages) And I just memorize it as one long monologue. That way, when it's all memorized, I can just keep saying that monologue over and over again, and I don't need to know the other lines that fall in between. Once it's memorized by rote, everything else just falls into place and I can work off the impulses.
