Do you have trouble memorizing lyrics? I feel your pain. For a long time I really struggled with learning song lyrics, even when I had a performance coming up.
When I started performing more regularly, it was getting embarrassing to repeat the same verse several times so I began devising tricks to memorize song lyrics faster.
Nowadays, many of my students have a hard time “getting off-book” and memorizing lyrics or text so I thought I would share my tricks here. Ready? Here we go!
My tricks for memorizing lyrics twice as fast revolve around two concepts: start lines and creating a story.
1. Start lines-the starting line of a song is not necessarily always at the beginning. I am referring to the first line of the verses. Many songs start with a chorus that repeats and is the easiest part of the song to memoryize. Almost noone forgets the chorus so we can proceed right to memorizing the verse.
I would suggest memorizing only the first line of each verse at first.
In Bob Dylan’s Desolation Row for example, we have “They’re selling postcards of the hanging”, “Cinderella she seems so easy”, “Now the moon is almost hidden”, etc…
By memorizing the first line of each verse, you are packaging the song into manageable bites, making it that much easier to remember.
2. Creating a story. Like our first tip for memorizing start lines, this second tip is also designed to break the song into manageable pieces to remember.
In this case, I would recommend creating a story out of the lyrics. Luckily most songs are already built on stories. In which case you just have to remember what order things occur in.
The most typical story is “Boy meets girl, boy loses girl, boy gets girl back”. This story or some variation of it can be found in 50% of popular music.
But what if you’re supposed to sing a 20 verse poetic song? Try your best to make a story out of your start lines. To go back to to Desolation Row for a moment, we could envision a postcard that Cinderella picks up before her trip to the moon. By picking the most striking image from each of the start lines, I have a clear story line for the lyrics to follow. This ensures that I will keep the lyrics in the right order.

I can't learn lyrics at all, let alone twice as fast. I spent weeks and weeks on one song, and I really tried and I can't remember any lyrics at all
it comes more easily to some, for sure
Can I memorize Godzilla fast then?
Thanks for the concepts!

got it!

I too am absolutely awful at memorization. One technique I use is to memorize the rhyme words in the verse (typically, there are 2 rhyme pairs per verse). Then I use them as mental "hangers" for the rest of the words in the lines. Sometimes I may actually not even get them exactly the same as the original song, but the melody, energy and vibe of the song provide cover.
sounds like a plan
Great idea! The brain is all about associations, so linking lyrics to story works nicely.
Thanks for this! I'm learning "I wanna be a producer" from the Producers for an audition with my musical theatre club :)
like seriuously? u was memorizing 25 songs in 2 hour? is that even logic😂
No yay, I would PLAY 25 songs in 2 hours. I would have to memorize them quickly if I was going to make it through my whole set.
@@ramseyvoicestudio u play 25 songs in 2 hour? so how long u can memorized them all?
I don't understand your question.
Ramsey Voice Studio I think he meant, how long did it take you to memorize all 25 songs?
What was tip 3?
Hey Tracy, 1) Memorize the start line of the first verse, 2) Repeat this process for each verse, and 3) Create a story using those start lines to trigger your memory's associations with the rest of the lyrics.
Excellent. Thank you.
you're welcome, glad it helps
