20 times a day!. I had a show I was in where literally every other line was mine and this was very effective!. Drill for speed!.

Above all else, make absolutely sure that you don't memorize your lines with any particular inflection! This is a nasty habit some people have that leads their acting to be very stale because they end up memorizing not the lines, but how they say the lines!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Don't stress that will make it harder!. If you can record yourself saying your lines do that and listen to it over and over and say it with what you recorded!. If you have a while to memorize them then do bit by bit, one page at a time, just read over it then hand the script to someone say the line to them and have them tell you if you got it right!. Do it more then once a day but not for long periods of time!. Hope it helps!. Good Luck!!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Ok!. Just read through it a few times!. Think "why would my character say this!?" This will help you react better, memorize lines, and also save yourself if you forget a line (you'll be able to improv)!. Then, have someone like me or Molly quiz you on your lines!. If you get it wrong, we'll pinch you!. Shock therapy!. =)

i read a line, cover it up so i cant see it, then recite it aloud!.
if i get it right i learn the next sentence to go with it etc!.!.!.
but i actually prefer to recieve the direction before i learn the lines!.!.!.
so i don't learn them wrong!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Either say the lines out loud or write them out!. This is why I got into music!. Music can be quite repetitive making it easier!. If I had to learn new lyrics, I write them out then sing it to myself during lunch when I go out for my walk!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

sit down with friends,parents brothers or sisters!. practice and say each word/sentence 5times then go to the friend and say as much as you can tell them what u got wrongWww@QuestionHome@Com
