MEMORIZATION AND ACTING TIPS

Need help memorizing?  Here are some tips:

• Practice your card a few times each day.  Don’t wait until the last minute!  By the performance, you’ll be a pro.
• Memorize the card sentence by sentence.  Start by memorizing the first sentence.  Then, repeat the first sentence and add the next.
• Write your card on paper while you say it aloud.
• Tape yourself reading your card.  Listen and repeat what you hear.

It’s so much fun when students make their characters come to life!  Tips to make you a star!

• Practice in front of the mirror to work on facial expressions.
• Perform for your family and classmates and ask them for tips.
