Whether you are a current student – or alumni – of NYFA, or an actor trying to find your big break, you understand that auditions are a normal part of life. But, what if your audition is tomorrow and you have a ton of lines to learn? We’ve compiled some tips to help you quickly memorize your lines.

1. Write your lines out.

Try writing your lines out by hand — do not type them. This method works well for long scenes with speeches. Writing your lines out by hand forces your mind to connect to the action of writing the lines down and seeing the lines. Make sure you focus on writing your lines out and your lines only. It will let you focus on you without having the distraction of other actors’ lines.

2. Run lines with someone.

Running lines with a partner is one of the most well-known methods for memorizing lines. The key is to run lines with another actor — not your friend from down the street. Running lines with another actor holds you accountable. Allow them to coach you and read stage direction. During the first run, you’ll want to listen to the words and absorb the script. If you can’t find someone to help you run lines, try using the app Rehearsal Pro. While the app is $19.99, it allows you to highlight lines in the app, record other characters’ lines, and use it as a teleprompter.

3. Quiz yourself.

Use a scrap piece of paper to cover up everything but the one line you are trying to memorize. Continue to read the same line over and over again. Once you feel comfortable, try reciting the line without looking at it. If you can, move on to the next line and start the process over again.

4. Go for a walk or take a nap.

In an article published by “The Chicago Tribune,” Cindy Gold of Northwestern University suggests that after looking at lines, it is helpful to either go for a walk or take a nap. While you rest, the information your brain just processed moves from short-term memory to long-term recall, where you will be able to recall things easier. Also, when you walk, you are exercising muscles and that helps with memorization.

5. Use a mnemonic device.

You can use a mnemonic device to help you remember your lines. Try writing down the first letter of every word in your lines. When you look at those letters, it will help jog your memory and you’ll remember your line a bit easier. Think of the mnemonic device as a shortcut.

6. Learn the cue lines.

Not only should you learn your lines, but you should learn your cue lines as well — these are the lines that lead into yours. By knowing the cue lines, you will be more prompt and you’ll be able to deliver your lines in a timely fashion. Interested in learning more than your lines? The New York Film Academy offers a variety of degrees — such as Master of Fine Arts, Bachelor of Fine Arts, and Associate of Fine Arts — and programs for students who are interested in acting for film.

What is memory dissonance?

Cognitive dissonance theory posits that people will change their attitudes, beliefs, and evaluations to maintain consistency between their behaviors and self-concept. One underexplored method of reducing cognitive dissonance created through self-concept violations is the distortion of memory.

Abstract

Cognitive dissonance theory posits that people will change their attitudes, beliefs, and evaluations to maintain consistency between their behaviors and self-concept. One underexplored method of reducing cognitive dissonance created through self-concept violations is the distortion of memory. Many aspects of memory accuracy are important, but memory for coercive behavior stands out as having considerable legal importance. Two studies test the hypothesis that, when people choose a social interaction partner who turns out to behave badly, they will experience dissonance resulting from the inconsistency between their belief in their ability to accurately judge others and their apparently failure in choosing a partner who behaves badly. Consequently, dissonance might be reduced by recalling having had less freedom in choosing a bad than a good partner. In both studies, participants played a version of the ultimatum game with the task of splitting up 10 raffle tickets that entered them into a drawing for a $100 Amazon gift card. Participants were either assigned to or induced to choose a partner that they believed was another person, but who was actually a Qualtrics program. That “partner” played the decider role, and either offered the participant a fair (positive consequence) or strongly unfair split (negative consequence) of the hypothetical raffle tickets. Results did not support predictions, in that the valence of the outcome did not affect memory for degree of choice of a partner in either study. However, in Study 2 the exploratory dependent measures indicated that participants might have shifted blame for the poor outcome of their choice to their imaginary partner rather than the experimenter as initially hypothesized. Reasons for the lack of hypothesized results and possible resolutions to these problems are discussed.
