How do actors and actresses memorize hundreds of lines? Memorizing lines takes practice and constant repetition. However, there are a few ways to make the memorization process run smoothly and quickly.
For most performers, there is no quicker way of memorizing lines. To learn lines, an actor must recite the play loud over and over again. Most rehearsals (彩排) encourage this by running through the lines or having a "read through". By the time opening night arrives, most actors have spoken their lines hundreds of times.
Listen to your cast members(参演人员).
Sometimes inexperienced actors spend rehearsals just looking at fellow performers, waiting patiently to say their next line. This will help the actor learn his lines better because the context of the dialogue is absorbed.
Record your lines.
Because there is often not enough rehearsal time, many performers find ways to listen to the play's dialogue during everyday activities. They use a tape recorder or an MP4 player to listen to the lines from each relevant scene. Some actors prefer to record the lines of all the characters, including their own. Others like recording the lines of fellow cast members, and they leave a blank space so that they can insert their dialogue while listening to the recording.
Think positively and don't panic.
Actors forget lines now and then. When it happens, however, most of the time the audience never notice. If you forget a line in the middle of your performance, don't freeze. Stay in character. Keep the scene going to the best of your ability. If unfortunately you forget a line once, you will probably never forget that line ever again.
A. Most actors will experience stage fright before the opening night.
B. Read lines loud and repeat them.
C. Practice makes perfect.
D. Read lines loud and remember them in a flash.
E. Sometimes embarrassment is the toughest method of memorization.
F. Then, they not only listen carefully, but they also speak all of the lines.
G. Instead, they should be listening carefully, responding in character at all times.
