Subject:  Re: [vocalist] Memorization?


the best way to memorize words is not to try. if you understand what
you are saying in the order you are saying it, most of the words will fall
into place. i had an opera director who made us write out the words first
and memorize them as a soliloquy before wee ever sang it. trying to short
cut the words, as if they were secondary, is a guarantee not to remember
them. (it also helps to lay off the hallucinogenic drugs for a while.)
