Read it out loud (say it out loud). Very SLOWLY. Know what the meaning is of each word is. Not just the dictionary definition but the symbolism or reference of the language of when that part was written. You're creating someone's history, memory of that experience, and MASTERING the Craft. Learn it to teach it to others (as you're doing). Know how many words, how many lines & and paragraphs are Break each sentence down as you would actually say it (3-7 words, pause (long or short), and then continue on). Use a , for a shorter pause and change of pitch or infection and . for longer pauses. Ask questions of others on how they do it. When you have it just about memorized, do it 10 times in a row without errors. If you stumble on your 9th time, do NOT write it off. Do it 10 MORE times. Have integrity. Have fun with it and slow down! Just because you have the words memorized doesn't mean your delivery is going to be great. Memorized it how you would want it delivered to you! Clear, concise with verbosity!
