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 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!
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!
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?
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’ve got a 27 page script to learn before next Tuesday, a bit scared I might not make it. But hoping it’ll work out!
Yikes. Good luck!
Break a leg!
Did it work out?
@@josephhickson-ef5lx Yeah!! Luckily it wasn’t as much as I expected, and this video helped a lot!
The covering the next line and then revealing it to check yourself was super helpful!
Glad that one helped!
I'd be screwed without this, Thanks
Thanks, this will help me out on my path to an actor
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.
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!
These are valuable tips. If there's one area needing improvement, it's how any presenter appears in front of the camera.
3:01 So this explains why pacing back and forth, the night of the show, backstage helps me!
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!
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.
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!
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!
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 😀
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!
Loving the subtle merch drop. Veeeery clever
Start at 2:20
Thank you so much for this! I auditioned for a main role at my school because the teachers always give me small roles and we had to audition with a practice script so what I did I took my script home and left it in my bag and just realised tmr is the audition and I need to practice QUICK. Thanks to your 2nd tip of moving and practising, I learnt it in abt 20 mins. Tysm I’m very grateful.
I have 3 days to remember 2 of Hamlet's monologue from, well, Hamlet. Thanks for your help.
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!
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 😂😂
Smart actor!😊 Thank you!
Thank you ! Hope it helps :)
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
This is solid info thank you
You're so welcome man!
This video has helped me so much! I found other UA-cam advice convoluted, this was much simpler and I’m sure will help. Thanks!
Thanks for the video 🎭👍🏽
You're so welcome! Glad it helped!
I’ve got a performance in three weeks and cannot get my lines to stick, I really hope these tips work ❤
Thanks man, i have like 180 lines to learn in the next 2 weeks for a lead role!
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!
@@user-im9mu2le6zoh, 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.🤞
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 😅
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.
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.
I’m not an actor, just someone trying to do well in their drama gcse and these tips were really helpful thank you
You're very welcome! Glad this helped!
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
I gotta memorise a 6 page script in 3 days. I rlly hope this helps
I have 64 lines in newsies jr, I play Davey and I start full runs Tuesday, this will help!
Thank you so much! This is the BEST video I’ve seen on how to memorize lines. You had me at get up & move!
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Movement makes memorization a full body experience
I have lines for a play that i need to memorize by tomorrow and I haven’t had any time to do so till now! So, thank you for making this video.
Thank you oml I, needed this
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
Great 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻! Thank you🌺🌷🌸
You are so welcome! Was there any one tip that helped the most?
@@themodernactorYou are a wonderful person and great teacher.. “make copy😁”
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!
Even better than printing and holding your hand over the next part is flash cards, as they're easier to work with
Im a understudy for a huge part freaking out
Fantastic resource!
Tysm… the senerio u mentioned in the beginning is the exact situation I’m in…..
thank you
very informative!!!
Glad you think so!!
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
Love this thank you
Great advice Eddie, very concise🙏🏼
Thanks Patrick
Great video with a lot of tips!
So glad this helps!
I literslly need this for monday, thank you
You're soo welcome! Glad to help
@@themodernactor thanks, I just did one of the plays this morning, it was perfect. I got one to do every day till friday
And here I am, not even able to remember what I had for breakfast somedays
Thanks Eddie
I’m going to try this out thanks!
Love it man! Let me know how it goes
@@themodernactor completely forgot about this comment but I killed it! the tips on standing up and printing it out were things I honestly never thought of and it worked thanks!
@@bradyryan3514 Wow ! I am so happy to hear these tools worked for you. I would love to hear more.
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!!!
Love this
Literally have a play tomorrow and don’t have any of the script memorized
how’d it go u gotta tell me
Nice 👏 graciass
A whole page for tomorrow, watching this video at 22:27, and stressed asf.
Yep, its me.
You got this man!
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
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!
It helped me sooo much…
Bro I literally have romeo and Juliet this week and I have to learn the second half of my lines 💀
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
