Hi & welcome,

Below is a quick summary of my perspective…please ask away here :slight_smile:

To remember lines,
First contextualize the musical/play/etc. and understand it & the character.
Second you can first use musical/script words which act as anchors from which to start/stop memorizing.
Third review the key words and use a link to remember them from word to word in a statement the character actually says in the musical/play/etc.
fourth review the whole part to ensure you’ve combined the above.

Clarification on memorizing lines:

Step 2: The “Anchor” words are and should be the main point of a sentence/statement.

Step 3:
Third review the key words and use a link to remember them from word to word in a statement the character actually says in the musical/play/etc.

By the above statement, I mean to be able to connect the flow of the musical/script.

I also mean to use the Anchor words to ease the memorization process making intervals or “bite size pieces” rather than a huge paragraph of script.
