There must be some special technique. Also, I am thinking about getting into ameture dramatics so I would like to know about learning lines. Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: I can tell you from personal experience (I memorized and can recite certain passages from Shakespeare's writings) that taking the time to understand the verse, and I mean really understanding it and appreciating it so much that it really means something to you makes memorizing it very easy. If you can find a written passage that you can deeply appreciate and relate to, the words almost become your own. |
