So, yeah.
I had to write a modern translation to the epilogue in The Tempest and I have to memorize it by tomorrow... I've had a week if not more to do so but haven't done so because....obvious reasons?
any suggestions? It doesn't have to be really, really memorized, I just can't stair at my cards the whole time xD Maybe I'll sing them! |

I'm not a pro at this stuff, but here are a few things that have helped me in the past...
1. Take it one or two lines at a time. Especially in a poem, memorize it in small section that make sense, then piece them all together.
2. Write it out. It takes a long time, but it helps, trust me.
3. Sing it!  It works! Honestly!
4. Don't be nervous. Here is where I completely fail. I'll recite it word for word moments before tested on it and them completely blank out on the spot. So... don't be nervous? |

| Pause, look at the class, and then continue reading. But really. Pauses are good. |

Actually, looking at the class i think is quite bad; i remember one time reading out something and i noticed one person laughing and it completely put me off and i stumbled on the rest of my words for the rest of the reading;
Break a leg ;D |
