Tips: Learn Your Lines
Scriptorian is a great tool for budding actors and actresses (unless
you were the one that didn't receive any speaking parts!). Quote It
can be a handy way to help you learn your lines. Here are some tips
for using Quote It to learn a script.
First, it's probably a good idea to create a separate study list for
the lines you are learning. You may also want to create a new library
for the study items you are creating. When creating the study items,
create one study item per speaking part. For the reference, write out
your queue. For example, you can write the last words of the speaking
part just before yours, or a particular situation that precedes your
speaking part. Also, to keep your lines in order, prefix the reference
with a number and then use Quote It's sequential feature
so that you will be able to work each item in order.
When using Quote It to learn your lines, it is helpful to not only
type them out but to sound them out as well. And don't just sound out
your line- sound out your queue as well (if it is a spoken part).
Using your voice and hearing will greatly reinforce the words you are
learning and make them easier to recall.
How do you use Scriptorian? Have you come up with some ideas that may
be useful for others? Please feel free to share them with us.
