Title: Excellent and helpful tools with good instructions!
Review: This book lays out many tools to help with memorization and how to use them, separately and together. It briefly gets into the psychology behind the methods along with concise explanations. It includes a short section of what doesn't help. All instructions are easy to comprehend. Highly recommend if memorizing is a struggle!

Title: A book to buy
Review: This book is very good for two fundamental reasons. Firstly, it gives us valuable tips to help us memorize our lines in plays much more effectively. Funnily enough, I already used many of these tips, but in a very intuitive way. Now I understand better why I do it and why it works. Secondly, because this book moves away from those countless books on memory that teach tricks for memorizing anything and everything except lines in a play. I've read several of those books. They're interesting, but not very useful for actors. This one is different. Although the author talks about memory palaces and the loci method, this is not at all the central aspect of the book. The other suggestions he gives us, such as chunking and the various strategies for transferring from short-term to long-term memory, are very useful and scientifically based.All in all, an excellent book that you can read in an afternoon and which gives you memory strategies for the rest of your life.

Title: Good book. Basic tips.
Review: Easy read. Good info. A few nuggets and takeaways wrapped around what I’m already doing. Had hoped for more new, flashy, sexy insights and tips, but still found it worth the read. I’ll definitely implement some things. It was helpful.

Title: Memorization for Actors
Review: I throughly enjoyed this book, memorization has always been a chore for me using my own tools. Now I have several more tools to help me feel more confident about difficult auditions. Best book I have read about this topic, short and to the point. I will highly recommend this book to my other actor friends.

Title: Love Processes
Review: This book is a process in memorization. Don’t let the size of the book fool you. Its pack with all the right information to get you on the right path to learning your lines. I am a speaker and this has helped me with learning my lines to talk to the audience instead of death by powerpoint. Thank you.

Review: I am not an actor, but have other reasons to memorize material and found the author's descriptions and tips for memorization straightforward and easy to understand. She doesn't add a bunch of fluff, so it's a short book, a quick read, but not lacking in helpful information. Definitely recommend!

Review: A great little book with handy hints and tips. A few methods I employ already and a few new ones to add to to toolbox.Without being full of the stereotypical snake-oil ‘positivity and mindfulness techniques’ the author gently encourages us that we CAN remember our lines if we… Well, read the book to find out!I’m definitely checking out other books in this series.JB x

Review: As a professional actor I have memorized thousands of pages in my career for television film theatre and auditions. I have worked in several languages. Memorization has always been a key part of the work and Alexa Ispas takes a look at the how to in her book. Many techniques that I have used and some that I have not are organized here in a clear and helpful way.I am asked often how do you memorize your material. This book is the answer.
