When I was preparing to memorize my TEDx Talk, I wasn&#8217;t entirely sure how to best approach the task either.<\/p>\n<p>Strange, I know, especially given that I was invited to give the talk as a memory expert.<\/p>\n<p>All the same, I had the same questions that many people face when approaching a task that involves reciting a lot of text from memory&#8230; without any cue lines from other actors to help you out.<\/p>\n<p>These questions include:<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Should you memorize the monologue word for word?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Or is there a form of \u201ccompression\u201d that allows you to memorize any monologue without having to create a mnemonic association for each and every word?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The answer is yes. There is an approach that makes memorizing texts easier and faster.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And once you have this technique under your belt, all that stress and anxiety around your auditions will permanently melt away.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So if you\u2019re ready to impress every casting agent in the industry for the rest of your career, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">all you have to do is read this post. Then turn the knowledge and experience I&#8217;m about to share into action.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let\u2019s get started.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><b>How to Memoriz<\/b><b>e a Monologue Quickly in 10 Steps<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>Most trainings on monologue memorization talk about breaking the piece down and emotionally connecting with the piece.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That\u2019s all fine and dandy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But the real magic happens when you have a robust <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.magneticmemorymethod.com\/mnemonic-strategies\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">mnemonic strategy<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that goes beyond your standard memory techniques.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The ultimate of these strategies is called a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.magneticmemorymethod.com\/memory-palace\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Memory Palace<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. When using it, you\u2019ll automatically break the monologue down into manageable parts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But to use the technique, you need to actually have a Memory Palace. But developing and using one is not necessarily the first step.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll walk you through the Memory Palace technique and give you some examples. First, however, please make sure to consider zooming out for one of the most important memory aids of them all.<\/p>\n<h3><b>Step One: Read And Analyze The Entire Piece The Monologue Comes From<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>So much of acting is actually understanding.<\/p>\n<p>You need to understand the motivations and the reason characters wind up having them in the first place.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes it&#8217;s perfectly okay to read the piece in isolation. Other times, you will benefit from additional research. Your character might live in a different era or area of the world, for example.<\/p>\n<p>Or your character might embody a belief system that is different than your own. It can be useful to know more about what the character you&#8217;ll be performing holds dear.<\/p>\n<p>Textual analysis will also be useful, but not necessarily by reading all kinds of commentary. You&#8217;ll want to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.magneticmemorymethod.com\/reflective-thinking\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">think reflectively<\/a> for yourself about what the text means. That will help you adopt the role and let the character (or your message) inhabit your mind more completely.<\/p>\n<h3><b>Step Two: Choose A Suitable Memory Palace<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In case you\u2019re new to the Memory Palace technique, it\u2019s simple to grasp. All you do is select a familiar location, create a mental journey through it and then lay breadcrumbs that help you recall what you want to remember.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.magneticmemorymethod.com\/how-to-memorize-a-speech\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">remember my TEDx Talk<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, I chose the apartment I was living in and used the surrounding neighborhood. It was the perfect size for just over thirteen minutes of material.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To rapidly create a Memory Palace without turning it into an epic task, I suggest you draw a floor plan based on the location you choose. Keep in mind the amount of material you need to memorize.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For a four page monologue, I needed one apartment and the sidewalk space along a couple of short streets.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If it helps your imagination, you can pick a location that is thematically related to the topic of your monologue. For example, if it\u2019s about health, you could choose a hospital or a spa. If you\u2019re reciting the speech of a criminal, you could choose the area around a police station, etc.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Then, you want to break your text down into individual lines. Rather than try to tackle a &#8220;wall of text&#8221; in the form of long paragraphs, separate the text into 1-2 lines maximum. That will make it easier for you to focus on matching the lines to the various areas in your Memory Palace.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s the Memory Palace I used for the monologue I delivered for the TEDx audience. It&#8217;s based on a Brisbane neighborhood I used to live in.<a href=\"https:\/\/e5hougg55fx.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Memory-Palace-I01_4-Red-Line-Tritons.jpg?strip=all&lossy=1&quality=60&w=2560&ssl=1\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-38421\" src=\"https:\/\/e5hougg55fx.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Memory-Palace-I01_4-Red-Line-Tritons.jpg?strip=all&lossy=1&quality=60&ssl=1\" alt=\"The Memory Palace I used for my TEDx monologue\" width=\"1448\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/e5hougg55fx.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Memory-Palace-I01_4-Red-Line-Tritons.jpg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;quality=60&amp;ssl=1 1448w, https:\/\/e5hougg55fx.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Memory-Palace-I01_4-Red-Line-Tritons-300x212.jpg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;quality=60&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/e5hougg55fx.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Memory-Palace-I01_4-Red-Line-Tritons-1024x724.jpg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;quality=60&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/e5hougg55fx.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Memory-Palace-I01_4-Red-Line-Tritons-768x543.jpg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;quality=60&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/e5hougg55fx.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Memory-Palace-I01_4-Red-Line-Tritons.jpg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;quality=60&amp;w=579&amp;ssl=1 579w, https:\/\/e5hougg55fx.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Memory-Palace-I01_4-Red-Line-Tritons.jpg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;quality=60&amp;w=868&amp;ssl=1 868w, https:\/\/e5hougg55fx.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Memory-Palace-I01_4-Red-Line-Tritons.jpg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;quality=60&amp;w=1158&amp;ssl=1 1158w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The red line indicates the journey I followed.

You\u2019re the director.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In order to get the best out of your players, you need them to rehearse their lines. Memory techniques are the same way when it comes to establishing <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.magneticmemorymethod.com\/long-term-memory\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">long term recall<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The beauty is that with these techniques, we can minimize the amount of repetition required and avoid the perils of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.magneticmemorymethod.com\/rote-learning\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">rote repetition<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To perform effective Recall Rehearsal, go over all of your associations in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.magneticmemorymethod.com\/linear-thinking\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">linear manner<\/a> by decoding the images you laid out in the Memory Palace.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For bonus points, run them backwards as well. This will help you improve your recall and reduce the amount of repetition required.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This process words because you\u2019re using <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.magneticmemorymethod.com\/active-recall\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">active recall<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which essentially causes your brain to make stronger connections, faster.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As I discuss in this video, I also like to recall my memorized monologues in different orders to make the memorization process go even faster:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"How to Memorize a Speech In One Night Using A Memory Palace\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/gBvKFI7AlLE?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1&#038;origin=https:\/\/www.magneticmemorymethod.com\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3><b>Step Six: The Power of Writing<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even before you feel fully confident in hour associations, I recommend you start writing your monologue out from memory by hand.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>In fact, the actor <a href=\"https:\/\/www.magneticmemorymethod.com\/ashley-strand-king-james-live\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ashley Strand<\/a> told me on the Magnetic Memory Method Podcast, that you should also write out your interpretation. He&#8217;s committed the entire Book of Mark to memory and performed it as a one-man show, so he really knows his stuff.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yes, you can type what you&#8217;ve memorized if you\u2019re a computer fan, but I don\u2019t think that you\u2019ll get the same benefits. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Writing by hand is organic, uses more muscles and more of your eyes due to the hand-eye coordination that is not necessarily engaged by typing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>In fact, my feelings on the matter are backed by scientific studies.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.frontiersin.org\/articles\/10.3389\/fnbeh.2021.634158\/full\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> These researchers<\/a> used MRI analysis to demonstrate that people who wrote notes by hand remembered more.<\/p>\n<p>The reason? Writing activates more of the brain.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How many times should you write out your memorized monologue from memory?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ultimately, the answer will come down to personal preference. I wrote my TEDx Talk by hand three times for good measure. I even wrote it out backwards one of those times to make sure it was extra committed to memory.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The next question that arises is how often do you need to recite the monologue in order to keep it in memory? My preference is to follow the science of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.magneticmemorymethod.com\/spaced-repetition\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">spaced repetition<\/a>. Again, the exact answer will come down to some personalization.<\/p>\n<p>But as a general guideline, aim to recite the monologue once a day for each day leading up to the delivery. Once you have delivered the monologue, you can experiment with a retention pattern like this:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Once a week for five weeks<\/li>\n<li>One a month for five months<\/li>\n<li>Once a year for five years<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Then, if you need to perform the monologue again in a live setting, go back to once a day for at least five days before you need to perform. That&#8217;s what I would do if I was asked to deliver my TEDx Talk again at another venue. Even though I&#8217;d be able to revive it quickly, I&#8217;d still want to write it out daily for at least five days before delivering it again.<\/p>\n<h3><b>Step Seven: Speak Your Monologue<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I\u2019m a believer in memorizing the text of a monologue simply as text. I don\u2019t worry too much about its meaning or the emotions involved because all of that can be considered from within memory later.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In fact, it\u2019s when speaking the material from memory that you really start to observe what your monologue is really all about.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As you practice speaking it, try different kinds of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.magneticmemorymethod.com\/how-to-memorize-a-presentation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">presentation<\/a>:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By yourself in front of a mirror<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Audio recording<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Video recording<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While walking around<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I did all of these things for my TEDx Talk.

There\u2019s a process called diffuse thinking that helps consolidate our memories, and it only works when we stop applying effort to the learning task.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can get enough rest by going to bed early, hanging out with friends, reading something unrelated, or even using memory techniques for a different outcome. For example, you might want to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.magneticmemorymethod.com\/how-to-memorize-lines\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">memorize the lines of a play<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> you\u2019re just interested in, but not responsible for performing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As you turn your attention away from the goal of memorizing the monologue, you\u2019ll probably find that ideas about it flash into your mind.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keep a notebook handy so that you can capture these ideas. Many will be useful for enhancing your performance.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Step Nine: Deep Relaxation<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many actors are already well-versed in relaxing themselves and entering the performance space with total confidence.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For those who aren\u2019t, I highly recommend the following:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Morning Tai Chi or Qigong routines<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Meditation (ideally with a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.magneticmemorymethod.com\/vm\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">memory component<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Breathing exercises<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Progressive muscle relaxation<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kirtan kriya<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As an added bonus, using the memory techniques for long form monologue memorization will itself create a meditative effect. Passage memorization is deeply rewarding.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Step Ten: Study Other Actors<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>I mentioned Ashley Strand above, the actor who memorized and turned the Book of Mark into a one-man show. You can learn a lot from a thespian like that.<\/p>\n<p>My friend and fellow memory expert <a href=\"https:\/\/www.magneticmemorymethod.com\/memory-improvement-mark-channon\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mark Channon<\/a> was an actor too before he won the World Memory Competition. He&#8217;s written a book specifically for actors who need memory help.<\/p>\n<p>Although I&#8217;m not an actor myself, I have performed many times as a card magician. My shows involved more than a little acting. I&#8217;ve long gotten <a href=\"https:\/\/www.magneticmemorymethod.com\/memory-tips-from-actors\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">memory tips from actors<\/a> for both inspiration and insight.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, it&#8217;s worth constantly studying as many <a href=\"https:\/\/www.magneticmemorymethod.com\/memory-strategies\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">memory strategies<\/a> as you can. You never know when you might stumble upon a mnemonic technique that you never considered before. It could be just the thing that opens up new insights and paths to speedier retention for you.<\/p>\n<p>As all actors know, when it comes to memorizing monologues, speed of retention is a major asset.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><b>Memorizing Monologues Is Fast And Easy<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As you can see, it\u2019s fun to create Memory Palaces and populate them with associations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You don\u2019t have to stress over each and every word, but if you find that you want to in the beginning, you now have the pegword method to help you come up with associations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The final step is to get to your auditions, earn the roles and wow audiences around the world.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And if you need more help, get my FREE Memory Improvement Kit:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.magneticmemorymethod.com\/blog-8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-27326\" src=\"https:\/\/e5hougg55fx.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Free-Memory-Improvement-Course.jpg?strip=all&lossy=1&quality=60&ssl=1\" alt=\"Free Memory Improvement Course\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/e5hougg55fx.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Free-Memory-Improvement-Course.jpg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;quality=60&amp;ssl=1 1200w, https:\/\/e5hougg55fx.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Free-Memory-Improvement-Course-300x200.jpg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;quality=60&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/e5hougg55fx.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Free-Memory-Improvement-Course-1024x683.jpg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;quality=60&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/e5hougg55fx.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Free-Memory-Improvement-Course-768x512.jpg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;quality=60&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/e5hougg55fx.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Free-Memory-Improvement-Course-758x505.jpg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;quality=60&amp;ssl=1 758w, https:\/\/e5hougg55fx.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Free-Memory-Improvement-Course.jpg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;quality=60&amp;w=240&amp;ssl=1 240w, https:\/\/e5hougg55fx.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Free-Memory-Improvement-Course.jpg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;quality=60&amp;w=480&amp;ssl=1 480w, https:\/\/e5hougg55fx.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Free-Memory-Improvement-Course.jpg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;quality=60&amp;w=960&amp;ssl=1 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You\u2019ll learn more about the Memory Palace technique and how to create powerful associations that propel the target lines from your monologue into your mind.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So what do you say?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Are you ready to get out there and start memorizing your monologue?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let me know in the comments what you\u2019re working on and happy memorizing!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Learning how to memorize a monologue can be easy.
