Monologue


Question Posted Saturday April 19 2008, 11:25 pm

I'm auditioning for a drama club, and we have to write monologues and perform them.

I've written my monologue...no problem there.

Does anyone know any tricks to memorizing a two minute monologue?

Practice. Practice. Practice. Its the only thing that can make one remember stuff fast. What this does is just hope that you say it enough times that it becomes stuck in your head and where if you say one word it atomaticly makes yout hink of what you have to say.

hope i helped!

Just Repeat Them Over And Over Again...
Maybe You Could Relate The Lines To Something That You Understand...

Pick certain words to "emphasize" say those words at a different tone of voice or volume level to seperate them from the rest of the monologue: This way: if you forget what comes next, you'll remember shouting a specific word and that should get you back on track.

Record yourself saying it, and then replay it over and over while you're getting ready in the morning, riding in the car, exercising or whatever. Hearing it over and over - and trying to say it along with the recording - will help you memorize it. Good luck! =]

connect things in the monologue to things or pictures in your head. If it's kind of a story or continuous thing, you can remember it with actions. Actions can make it hard at first to remember, but once you connect actions with words, you can remember. Another way is to say it repeatedly and then try to say it without the words in front of you. There are many ways to remember it, you just have to know what helps you the best when remembering things, and what works best with the piece you are memorizing... I hope it helped, if you want, I can help more with more info.
