Acting Tip of The Month!

• Write your lines down on lined paperThat's what Anthony Hopkins and many other actors do. He writes each line three times. By the third time, he feels he's committed the line to memory. Writing your lines down will help you process and memorize them. It also allows you to do some of your script analysis and write down notes about objectives and tactics in the script. After you have written out the script you might want to try and write brief summaries as well.
•  Read your lines out loud
  It's easier to learn words when you hear them, so read your lines out loud over and over. Try to read without any specific intonation so you don't fall into a rhythm that will keep you from being spontaneous when you act. When you're ready to test yourself, run lines with everyone you can (friends, roommates, family…). It's great to get the whole famly involved, and supporting young talent.  
• Record your lines
  Record your lines and listen to them over and over. If you drive, you'll have plenty of time to listen to your recordings as you drive from audition to audition. You can also listen to the recording when you go to sleep.
