How to Memorize Lines as an Actor

[shanapeete]

@knextoys123 I find that most digi cams have a setting for audio recording these days. I use that.



[RamBowMike]

Your in a dang nab bathroom for petes sake. Why would anyone listen to you? LOL

[CANDYMIX07]

i do all plays at my school and my method is to practice the entire conversation while bouncing a ball or tossing a ball with the other person who is in the conversation too :) it helps alot. however, i shall try this new method of yours, it may come in handy <3 so thank you for your help :)

[Scrabbler27]

I have the tallent of remembering peoples Birthdays, dates and peoples induction days. I don't need to learn them.

[brandhyze]

@Shaun3x I know....everyone gives me a hard time for that slip up....as an actor they teach you to just keep going....but I so should have corrected myself :) LOL too funny

[brandhyze]

@knextoys123 Hey there.....would you happen to have a voice recorder on your phone....like say the iPhone? Or, try googling online voice recorders and there are a few on there to choose from that should be able to do the trick. Or....if you have a Mac, you can maybe use Garage Band. Hope this helps. Best of luck!

i am not an actor, nor do i shop at 'radio sack' (jk, lol!) but i have always wondered how in the world our favourite actors/actresses memorize very lengthy lines in film, the kind that are not spliced in editing either. They speak so fluidly, like they are improvizing their words (I'm referring to skilled actors/ess). I can barely recount my outgoing voice-mail line! Thanks for sharing an inside tip that I'm sure is used by those in the acting world. There must be other techniques too btw. ?

[brandhyze]

@cooperrec there are! Anything to get the job done :) LOL. Have any specific questions?

[etelehs]

WOW!! GREAT IDEA THANKS FOR SHARING!

[brandhyze]

@etelehs you are soooo welcome. thanks for watching

[Sweetassour]

i'm such a perv

[ninja12194]

She is in a white area so people can concentration on her don't u get it?

[browneyedgirl701]

are you in the shower?

[brandhyze]

@browneyedgirl701 no, it was a tiny bathroom, up against the wall....it had the best light in the whole apartment. :) LOL

[thecount]

great advise!  <3

[LandingCraft1969]

I've used same method for over a decade. I concentrate on others lines first in order to recall my own.

[brandhyze]

@LandingCraft1969 yea....that definitely works too....just pray your scene partner doesn't forget their lines....or somebody better do something. LOL

[kgerdes20]

Never thought about it in this way. I'm going to try this out today for my Best Buy audition tomorrow!

[brandhyze]

@kgerdes20 did you wind up getting the recorder? How did the audition go?

[kgerdes20]

@brandhyze I just used the recorder on my iPhone however, the audition went really well. I didn't get it but it went well. I actually have booked a commercial with Bing.com since them. Its on they youtube channel now. Is all going well with you?

[ETorpedo]

Great and practical tips on memorizing. I agree the tape recorder is very under utilized in learning.

[brandhyze]

@ETorpedo it is....but I feel that helps you to hear what other people hear when you speak....and you can listen to it while you're in transit.....I definitely love using it

[MMBastheking]

Thanks this helped a lot..... waited till last minute to memorize my lines for a show and this helped A LOOOOOOT!!!! Thanks!

[brandhyze]

[chaisingjordan]

Than for the tip I've been going from audition to adition either choking or screwing up

[TheGuyOnTheScreen]

Thank you so much for this tip, its very helpful i am a young actor staring in a play in febuary in college, and i needed this tip, as i was a bit worried about learning liens as i have a main role.

Thanks!

[StayTrueProductions]

that's alot that really helped im subscribing..

[twirlywhirly13]

thank you very much! i got a role in a play that is going to a competition, but i usually do monologues, so i don't know much about conversational acting. this really helped me!

[SmashingShinyRay]

Image can also be an important thing in acting. If you have any sound advice on that, please share! I am not talking about people changing their bone structure or anything extreme like lasering for every negative comment made... If you could post a video commenting on just how important looks are and any advice on how to be humble and accepting, yet know when to brush off certain critisism... that'd be awesome!

[KarlaDoni]

Thank you very much for the little secret, very smart!!!!

[KarlaDoni]
