[edit] Intro

Learning lines can be stressful, especially if you have the lead role, but there is a way you can learn all of your lines for a play (or movie), in a day!

[edit] Steps

1. The first thing you need to do is to read through your script once. Read every part that has you in it. Once you've read it a time or two, listen to your music (if you even have any), and memorize that.
2. Divide up the parts by scenes. Say, you're in Act 1, Scene 1, and you have about 20 lines. Go over each paragraph (line). Start with one line, then two lines, and so on. Once you have memorized one line, go on to the next one, and read it five times, then read that line, and the one before it and so on, until you have memorized all of your lines in a scene.
3. Do step two for all of your other scenes.
4. Once you've learned all of your lines in all of your scenes, it's time to memorize everything and remember it! Do what you have done in steps two and three, only not in paragraphs, but in scenes. If it's hard to do it all together, read scenes one and two, over and over again, take a break, then move on to your other scenes.

[edit] Tips

• Take a break every once in a while.

[edit] Warnings

You can really fry your brain like this, so go slow and steady.
