My god those bloody lines!

by Draculass @ 2008-02-21 - 15:01:03

Ha ha. I'm going to do this as fast as I can so that I don't waste valuable learning my lines time.
I am seriously worried about all those damn lines I've got to learn. I mean, we're not even going to be going offstage! How rediculous is that? Don't get mw wrong, I'm enjoying (Pretty much, anyway...) All the rehearsals, but all we do is sit down and read out our lines! I told my mothaaar that, and she thought it would be better if we did it standing, otherwise we might not get a grip on the actual play. My drama teachers are great, but I think that it would be best if they just got us up and reheearsing it properly before time runs out. We're doing it on the 15th March. And I still don't know all of my lines, and there aren't many people going to that drama group, only like seven or something, so my part is quiet important. Not as impoertand as the girl whose playing Will Shakespear, but still.
I'm worried that I'm going to forget all my lines and make a mess of it.
On the brighter side, me and my friend are going to this roller disco thing next saturday, we're more likely than not going to make ourselves look like freaks, but it should be fun nevertheless. I love that word. Nevertheless. Its like three words joined together!
I've started to really miss one of my friends. We lost touch after the green gathering last year, and I think he's moved, and we've known each other for about four years. I hope I see him at a festival or something. Also I feel mad at myself, because at the green gathering I didn't hang out with him because I felt like I was being left out, which hasn't happened for while, and I forgot how horrible it is. He actually told me that they were doing something with just the people that he met at the sinrise festival, and that they would come and call for me later. I don't remember exactly, but I don't think they did, either that or I was out.

OK, gotta go off learn my lines. The next time I blog will probably be after the play, so I will actually have some time to vomment on other peoples blogs.

Im sure your use of the word "vomment" is pure genius. Actually i think it was probably just a spelling error, but vomment sounds like something you would write on a post if you thought it was really bad!!

I echo the above comment, it's what I thought too!

A little tip for learning lines. Don't know if it will help you, but this helps me learn a song when there are loads of verses to remember.

I write down the words and read them a few times then close my eyes and picture the lines as they are written on the paper. I guess you could do this with the lines you have and not bother writing them out yourself.
I try and remember where on the page the different verses are, so when I'm singing the song I can picture in my mind's eye where the verse is on the page, and so remember it.

Maybe the part in the play that goes with the lines will help. If you are just learning the lines and not acting at the same time I can see how it would be much the same. If you were acting at the same time then you would remember what action goes with what line.

Nevertheless, (heh heh), your automatic response will take over if you read the lines enough times and they will just come out without thinking too much about it.

I'm going to be reading some of my poems at a performance in Swansea at a theatre on March 5th and am going to take pieces of paper with them written down on!

Good luck!
