well The production is next monday tuesday and wednesday,the 19 20 and 21 of nov so this gives me aproximately a week to learn the rest of my lines. weve been working on this for almost a month and a half, it has been hard for me to remember my lines and i also have to put the emotions into my character. the director wants me to be off- book by monday (tommorow)so we can work on feelings.
any sugesstions?

read one page at a time, over and over again. and just go all the way through the book. i was in pocahontas, and i was doulble cast as pocahontas, and her friend. i was the only one who had be one character on one day, then the next day, another. so it really worked for me.

You have a problem, sister. That isn't a very large part and you should have been off book a long time ago. Why did you wait until the last minute to ask for help? Oh, yeah, for the same reason you haven't got the lines down yet. Read my profile and write to me at my aol address and I will send you two pages of help with learning lines.

i'm an actor in a college theatre software and that i'm no longer able to memorize till I stroll around or %. and memorize. this is because of the fact the strolling engages your innovations extra beneficial than in basic terms status or sitting and by some potential it works fairly fairly rapid. I had a instructor tell me this and as quickly as I did it it worked so properly, I memorize each play or scene I do like this.

John Makovich read his lines into a tape recorder when he was learning a script in that movie, ''Being John Malcovich.'' Maybe that would help. It's probably a sarcastic commentary about how bad actors memorize their lines, but that's how I memorized poems we had to memorize and recite in front of the class in seventh grade in Catholic school. It worked for me, I think. I can't really remember though.

Try writing out each of your lines, then say them. Depending on how big your part is, this can take a while, but it always works for me.
