I have an acting script that I only have about 20 minutes to memorize. I won't have days to memorize it, so I need as many tips and answers that everyone can come up with. Again I only have 20 minutes maybe less to remember.

the same way I cram,,,read it once or twice and begin to say it out loud as you go through it the second time, then try to say as much as you can the third time and fill in what you missed....and just reapeat the process of saying what you know and filling in the gaps you can remember...eventually it will stick well, and youll know it by heart....

Read through 2-3 times. Actually understand what is being said, and the intentions. Then, try it only looking at the script WHEN NEEDED. Do this a few more times, then put the script on the ground so it is not physically in your hands. try the monologue or scene and if you need to look at the script, stay in character, look at the script, put it down get back into the position you where in and say the line you didn't know. Repeat until memorized which shouldn't be many more times :)

Read it through a few times, say it out loud a few more, understand the material and why you're saying those words... don't just try to memorize, but understand the story and what this particular part is about. Good luck!

usually see the doughnut and the glass is half full but today, I'm going to highlight some major errors done by people who recorded the recitations of the imam and many readers of al quran. (1) Qurra (plural of qaari) in the recordings have gone an extensive training to recite Al Quran, may Allah reward them, but they are still human beings. They are not infallible. On the day of judgment, they will defend themselves from the hell fire like us. So, first and foremost for us, it is simply improper to revere them. Our reverence should only be to the prophet Muhammad. (2) these so called recordings, many of them have been contaminated by unnecessary echoes that defeat the purpose of Al Quran. I find the worst recordings are the recordings during taraweeh. The beauty of Al Quran lies mainly on the adherence of the recitor to the rules of tajweed. Echoes deplete the proper makharij of the letters thus inabling us to listen to the proper sentence. If the echo is unavoidable due to the acoustic nature of the hall, then there's nothing we can do about it, but being quite knowledgable in audio production myself, many of the echoes were added later in post production in the studio. These people should revisit their intention on why these recordings are produced. Al Quran recordings are not to be used as a "background entertainment" while you're doing your work or having an Eid party. (3) If the sole purpose of Al Quran is to be memorized than the word "tarteel" would not have been used by Allah in the method or reading Al Quran. And the word "ta'allam" would not have been used in the famous hadeeth on teaching and learning Al Quran.Tarteel is the BEST way to read it. Regardless. I cringe when I listen to young huffaaz who try so hard to emulate their favorite recitors but compromising greatly on their tajweed skills. Very often they make sounds longer than they should (even a second longer is really excruciating) especially at the end of an aayaah. This is an error that the people of Al Quran should avoid. (4) YOu memorize Al Quran not to become an Imam or lead the prayer. I know many huffaaz who are not imam or they lead the prayer sparingly. They don't CRAVE to lead the prayer and show off their memorization.You memorize al Quran so that you know the rules of Allah and it'll be easier for your to safeguard yourselves from your desires and the devil. (5) al Quran and tajweed go hand in hand. when you tell me that you're memorizing al Quran it means that you're memorizing it with a very strict adherence to the tajweed rules. No compromise there. If not, you are desecrating the speech of Allah. To read al quran with tajweed is fardh 'ain. Allah knows best.

Remember the most important thing in acting is emotions. If you've got the right feel, the words will come naturally.

Know the first word perfectly by associating it with something you know very well; and then learn one sentence, by repeating it lots of times; and then go on to the next. Add it to the sentence you have learnt; and then go on to the next. Write it down and then repeat it aloud lots of times.
Mean what you say and say it with passion and it will all flow easily.

Chewing cinnamon gum is supposed to help you recall 15% more if you chew it while you are studying.
