I need memorizing tips and have 4 days please help to get rid of stage fright also?

Answer 1

as far as memorizing, write down several times what you need to memorize and also try association. associate lines with other funny things in your life you will remember.
stage fright? pretend its a poster of tons of people and you are in your bedroom.

Answer 2

I walk through the blocking while trying to memorize lines. That is, if you're in a play or performance. If it's a speech or something, that won't really help. When I'm memorizing, I go a few lines at a time. After I get the first 4 lines, maybe, I'll move on to the next 4. After I get those down, I say the first 8. Then, the next 4, and every time I learn them, I say it from the beginning. Always works for me! For stage fright, practice in front of your family. Do not (esp. if you're a new actor/performer) perform for an audience for the first time opening night. Try to get as many people as you can to watch you, because you need to learn to deal w/ little distractions like coughing, laughing, etc. Good luck!

Answer 3

Everybody has their own technique for memorizing. I do mine in increments--learn the first line, then learn the second line using the last words of the first line as a cue, then the two of them together, then add the third line, etc. etc.

Also, get a sense of what you're saying so you'll be confident if you lose your place, you can improvise until you get back on track.

Stage fright--breathe. Breathe. Know that people watching you are rooting for you to do well. (Why would they want you to fail?) Take your time; go slower than you think you need to.

Answer 4

Whatever you are trying to memorize, read it into a tape recorder and then play it over and over. Then talk along with it. Then try it alone. You don't get rid of stage fright; you use it.

Answer 5

Divide your monologue into sections and practice each section in a different place. The places should be in logical sequence, such as the way you usually enter your home (kitchen, living room, stairs, bedroom?). The tape recorder method is good, and once you almost have it you can get a friend or family member to cue you if you get stuck. As for stage fright, it is just adrenaline. Adrenaline gives you a choice: fight or flight. Choose to fight... for your triumph... and then...breathe.

Answer 6

I was in a play and this method of memorizing your lines reallly works. Record your lines on a tape recorder and play it back again and again and again. I knew my lines perfectly while the rest of the cast were still struggling through the rehearsals, constantly needing prompting from the director. They actually resented me for knowing my lines so well.

Answer 7

Stage fright ~ Think... you are alone.
Convinence yourself that you are telling them something important and get away the fears.
Pretend that they are your family members all listening to you
