THANKSGIVING BREAK

**** DON'T FORGET ABOUT YOUR TURKEY TICKETS.  REVIEW BLOCKING AND START MEMORIZING LINES IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY!  ALSO USE THE AUDIO TRACKS FOR MEMORIZING.  IT ALSO HELPS VISUALIZE YOUR SCENE.  IF YOUR SCENE MAKES SENSE TO YOU, IT'S EASIER TO MEMORIZE.

MEMORIZATION TECHNIQUES:

1.  Practice with Audio-Listen to it OFTEN.  

2. UNDERSTAND your scene

3. Have a family member or friend run lines with you.  Know your cues.  

4. Make Note cards with your lines and cues before your lines.

5. Write down your lines.  Writing them helps to remember them.

6. Re-record them if needed

7. Make a goal to memorize a certain amount per day.  

8. Don't always start at the beginning.  Start on the difficult parts sometimes then start over.
