How to Memorize Heavy Content Quickly

Instructions o 1 For years, I would go through unnecessary stress when it came to learning my lines quickly. I would find one of my friends who would take the time to read the script with me or read along with me as I worked my way through a monologue or speech. The problem with that was, that no matter how much my friends showed their support by rehearsing with me, they would eventually get tired, regardless of how much material I had left to memorize. Then one day an idea hit me like a lightbulb. With a script, how would it work if I read my lines to myself, a little slower than normal, and read everyone else's lines aloud and into a recording device? Back then, it was a tape recorder, but today there are digital recording devices so small they can fit in the palm of your hand and hold several hours of storage. The tape recorder worked even better than a live person because the recording device never gets tired. I can rehearse that scene as many times as I desire just by the push of a button. Suddenly, I was learning lines in half the time. o 2 This technique was put to the test when I was asked to replace a lead actor unexpectedly and told to be ready to perform in three days. On the first day of rehearsal, I went through and wrote down all the blocking so that when I rehearsed with my recording device, I was also rehearsing dialogue and blocking together. During that time, I also noticed that this technique allowed me to learn blocking in half the time as well. To memorize a large amount of content, whether it be a script, monologue or speech, you must memorize it a little bit at a time or your brain will get overwhelmed. First, read through the material you need to memorize, four to five times in its entirety. After about the fifth time, you will notice that you're beginning to remember sections of the content, sometimes almost half of it, without looking at the material. Also, by the fifth time or so, you usually have given yourself enough time to understand what you're reading. Once you really understand the material, no matter what it is, that is half the battle. And your brain will say, "That's no so bad. Let's learn some more." The key to memorizing anything is to avoid overwhelming the brain with trying to remember too much content at one time. Depending on how heavy the exchanges are, I divide scripts into pages unless you have a monologue, which I will cover later. With your recording device, rehearse the first page repeatedly until you have memorized your lines on the first page. Then move on to the next page. Once you have memorized the second page, rehearse the first two pages together until you have those two pages completely memorized. ontinue the same process with the third page until you have completed all of the pages. That's the most time-consuming part of the process. Once you have all the pages memorized individually, you are ready to rehearse them all together over and over again. This can be done while driving, while waiting idly at some location or by making some time at home. The recording device will never get tired. o 3 Now when you work with monologues or speeches, the memorization process is similar. The only difference being that you don't need the recording device to interact with. However, if you have a recording device, it still has a useful job. First, read your entire content into the recording device. Then listen to that content while driving or while napping or retiring for the evening. This may seem ridiculous, but your subconscious mind never sleeps. When it comes time to work on memorizing the material, you will be amazed how familiar the material seems to you because your brain has been exposed to it. o 4 Just as we did with the script earlier, take your content and divide it evenly into sections. You will work on each section individually before moving on to the next section. As you add a new section and memorize it, repeat both memorized sections together. Then, add the next section. Repeat this process until you have the entire content memorized. Once you have memorized all the content and feel confident, go to a mirror and perform the content to your reflection. This step will feel strange at first but will simulate what it feels like to have an audience. Your reflection is your first audience member. Looking yourself in the eyes as you deliver your content will help quell the fear of being in front of an audience for the first time. This is also the time to use any supportive family members or friends who are willing to listen to you deliver your content as well. Repeat the content to yourself at least five times perfectly each day. If you mess up at any part, that doesn't count. Go back and start again. This could mean it may take you 10 times to deliver five perfect run-throughs. Once you have successfully made it through your five perfect run-throughs without error, you are ready to perform it once a day, perfectly, until performance day. o 5 Whether you perform your content in front of a camera or a large audience, the feeling is the same. Once the excitement of the event hits you shortly before your performance, your adrenalin will have your heart racing. If you have rehearsed your material as described, your adrenalin will work to your advantage and lead to a well-performed speech or monologue. If you are not well-rehearsed, that same adrenalin will cause you to be a nervous wreck moments before and end up with a horrible performance. Feeling out of control or nervous because of a lack of preparation or poor rehearsal time doesn't always mean a disaster. If you studied the material to the point that you understand what you are saying, that one element alone can help you make it through to the end and leave with the satisfaction that you avoided a disaster.
