The first step of memorizing any poem, monologue, or script, is to break it down. Really understand what the piece is about. Once you have a full understanding of what the piece is about, then you need to break it down into verses. If I If you ever want any advice or instruction on anything that has to do with theatre, especially Shakespeare. Message me and I will help. I love this stuff were to memorize the poem, Tomorrow from Macbeth, I would break it down into sentence to sentence.
<h2>Ex: <u>
Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow,
</u></h2><h2><u>Creeps in this petty pace from day to day
</u></h2><h2><u>To the last syllable of recorded time,
</u></h2><h2><u>And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
</u></h2><h2><u>The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
</u></h2><h2><u>Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player
</u></h2><h2><u>That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
</u></h2><h2><u>And then is heard no more: it is a tale
</u></h2><h2><u>Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
</u></h2><h2><u>Signifying nothing.</u></h2>
Work on one sentence at a time. DO NOT work on diction, emotion, or anything else before it is memorized. Three big memorizing strategies are to 1. Write it over and over again until you can say it without looking at it.
2.Write it and say it at the same time
3. Record yourself saying it and listen to it over and over again
