Expand postOkay, so I know that this might be a no Brainer to some... but I am open to suggestions. I am currently searching for new monologues for upcoming MFA program auditions. I feel as if I am going over and over the same material again and again. I would love some suggestions on some unique pieces, lesser known playwrights, and new works to check out. I am primarily looking for comedic pieces. So if you any ideas, send them my way!
Since it’s for your MFA I suggest something from Ntozake Shange and/or a Shakespearean soliloquy.

Expand postI am co-producing and acting in my first web series called Escaping Single, which is a Brooklyn, NY based web series about looking for love in the big city. The series follows Nellie Williams a twenty-something New Yorker that is fed up with the single life and is willing to do whatever it takes to find someone to love. I really wanted some feed back and advice on what could make this production a success. My goals with this piece is to first begin to build a reel with some quality footage and also to create strong viewer and fan base. I started really pushing the project on facebook, and the social media networks that I belong to. But what are some unique I catching ways to get people's attention and help relate and understand my project. I am currently funding my project through an Indiegogo campaign. http://www.indiegogo.com/escapingsingle/x/2118546 I would love some feedback on how to make it better and keep it going.
Looks great ladies, my advice is to just be aggressive with your marketing and really have a plan of action in regards to getting it seen by people everyday until the indiegogo deadline is up. I think it's an excellent way to get reel footage and producing experience.

In the recent years, I have taken to composing more of my own kind of sounds- aimed at Film and TV. Something altogether new and exciting. In the past year my music has evolved immensely, and I'm happy to share with you all here in 2013- My New Compositions, and look forward to interacting with you. I have just finished the music score to a short film, titled, "Freight" on youtube, and I would appreciate your checking it out. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fjIfWGHQq8E My resume, and links will be placed here on site soon! Thanks, Allyn.
Great stuff Allyn! Very thematic
I love this!!! Great familiarity to the peices. The true thrill and chill of suspense. You captured it. I am working on getting my trailer done so I can shop it to some Network executives. I could definately use this type of ability in my trailer. Please contact me here stage32.com/modelogix
Pretty cool!
I'm in the process of typing the script in the format that I like (large red font for my lines, large italics and font for my blocking "stage direction" for example). What other tricks do you guys do to memorize your lines?

Expand commentI have to agree with Mr. Marshall....its the constant going over the script again and again until its in your head, under your skin! I recommend getting the body involved in your process. Things like running on the treadmill or doing a series of movements can help keep the text fresh while you learn it.

Expand commentAll great tips. To each his own but finding that can certainly be demanding. I've been acting/directing on different levels for over 30 years. As an actor, I have found recording the lines help tremendously. Not just my own, but the entire script. Why? Because when it comes down to the memorization, I also want to work on constant recitation knowing the motivation behind each of those lines. I'm a huge advocate for inflection and repitition. Build character as you go and develop the scene in your mind with the other character. Knowing the conversation is better than learning response.After all, if acting is part reacting, what if your counterpart loses train of thought. Knowing the script makes you the leader in returning to key points for recovery. Keep in mind, the director may lead you to think of taking it to a different choice once on stage but by developing character while learning lines is a great way to understand your choices and explain them. Kind of the long way around through philosophy but when it comes down to any of these ideas, it's all about repitition.

Expand commentIf you are willing to spend twenty bucks, I swear by the rehearsal app. You can import any pdf file, highlight your lines (black 'em out and see them again with a tap), record the other persons lines, add notes, pictures, etc and just press play- it will loop until you get it. It has perfectly streamlined the memorization process for me and cut the time I spend memorizing way down.
