I'm a trained actor and a 3-day champion on the game show Jeopardy. As an actor, I struggled with memorizing lines, but as a trivia enthusiast, I learned several simple, easy techniques to boost my memory. I created Off Book It so I could share my insights with other actors.
I have used these same strategies with my clients to help them get off book FAST and feel confident and at ease!
Off Book It combines the insights from three fields of knowledge: cognitive psychology, ancient mnemonics, and modern acting. It synthesizes these insights into an innovative memorization method specifically designed for actors memorizing dramatic text.
Cognitive psychology is the scientific study of mental processes, including perception, memory, attention, problem-solving, and learning. Several research findings in this field show us how we can improve learning and increase memory retention and recall.
You know those people you hear about sometimes who can memorize a whole deck of cards or 1,000 digits of pi? They're not prodigies or super geniuses. The techniques they use can be learned easily by anyone, and they've been around for thousands of years.
Many of the standard practices actors employ to analyze a text and bring a role to life have been shown in studies to aid in the memorization of text. These include breaking a text into beats, finding objectives, and finding causal connections in the text.
The Off Book It Foundations Bundle gives you access to three value-packed mini-courses that will teach you the foundational principles and techniques of the Off Book It memorization method. They include video lessons and PDFs of the lesson transcripts and slides!
This course teaches line memorization strategies drawn from cognitive science research findings. These strategies optimize your brain's natural abilities to remember. They are simple, easy to learn, and easy to implement!
This course will teach you The Art of Memory, a set of techniques that have been taught for thousands of years, and are currently used by memory athletes/champions worldwide.
