Proven psychology techniques to make line learning quicker and easier

Learning lines is often a source of stress for actors.

It takes time to learn your lines well, and even when you try your best, there is still a chance you will forget them when you feel under pressure.

The problem is that if you do not know your lines, you will not get the chance to show off your acting, and you might even damage your future employment prospects.

But learning your lines does not have to be stressful.

If you have a solid memorization process, you can feel confident in your ability to deliver your lines regardless of circumstances.

Over the past few decades, psychological studies have provided lots of insights into how to make the best use of our memory.

Memorization for Actors is the first book of its kind to explain in clear and jargon-free language how to apply these insights to learning your lines.
By the time you finish this book, you will have a set of proven memorization techniques up your sleeve, based on the latest scientific research.
You will also understand why these techniques work and when to use each of them for maximum effect.
Read this book to discover:
• How to learn your lines quicker and more reliably than ever before
• How to avoid common mistakes actors make when learning lines
• Simple tricks to learn more lines in less time
• Advanced techniques to turbo-charge your memorization process
• Proven strategies to remember your lines in high stress situations
• How to schedule your memorization sessions for maximum effect

Short enough to read in an afternoon yet jam-packed with practical advice, Memorization for Actors will transform your acting career.

This is recommended reading for any actor, from acting students to experienced professionals.
Alexa Ispas holds a PhD in psychology from the University of Edinburgh. She developed the memorization process outlined in this book while pursuing a career in acting following her academic studies.
