Answer 1

If you have ADD and are an actor/actress, I assume you have already had some training in memory skills. Try Learning Unlimited and other sites.

I can't hit a golf ball, even though I would love to play golf. I avoid golf!

Answer 2

Tests have shown that repeating something three times will highly improve the level of rememberance in the human mind. So sit down with your lines and recite them using your script. Also make sure you understand whats going on, why are you saying what you're saying. It helps if you understand the conversation. Once you've practiced on a section get someone else to read with you. Don't try remembering to big of chunks at a time because overloading your brain makes it harder to remember.

Answer 3

properly you could't wish for a large section ( I do it too ) because you could audition and there is not any assure you receives the section. What i'd do is keep specializing on your modeling career and at the same time as your agent sends you on an audition, then you fairly better suited do properly using the indisputable fact that section will be further on your resume. Your resume is what stands proud to casting directors, so if its weak, you aren't any more going to get a large section, or possibly an element in any respect. you want better adventure, even although you look like you've lots, and do better performing. Then at the same time as your agent sends you on the audition for a movie, you'll likely get it. wish I helped

Answer 4

I once used a tape recorder and recorded all the lines around mine with pauses long enough for me to say my lines as I played it. It worked well and I was able to learn my lines while driving to work, school, etc.

Answer 5

Go over it in small sections. I find it helps if you go over the actions. Memorize your lines while bouncing a ball, I don't know if that will work but they say if you do something in pattern it's easier for the brain to remember the speech.

Answer 6

Record yourself saying them. Download to a CD or your iPod and listen. Read them many, many, many times. Move with them. Motor memory helps. That pretty much covers the three learning styles.

Answer 7

Stop thinking of them as "lines".
In a monologue you are telling a story ( much more difficult ) you just have to remember the story the way it is written..........kinda like retelling a joke so the punch-line works.
Dialog is just conversation. Don't act............react.

Answer 8

this answer is pretty much the same as others before me, all good advise.Try re writing your lines on coloured paper / yellow I believe is better for A.D.D. sufferers.Actually writing the lines down I find helps sink them in. Knowing your character and their emotion and action puts all in order in your head.

Answer 9

I'd suggest finding someone willing to run your lines with you. That way you have someone reacting to your own lines of dialogue, which might help. Break a leg!

Answer 10

i would do the tape recorder thing and record myself and play it in class or put the lines you barely know and write them on your hand but try not to look down too much good luck!!!!!!!
