Q: Memorizing a long monologue may be intimidating. Divide the monologue into sections before you begin practicing. Memorize the first section individually, then move on to the next, repeating the process. Then, once you've memorized each section, put them all together. Make a mental note about the overall topic of each section you created. This will provide a point of reference and help jog your memory while you recite your monologue. While you are reviewing your monologue, make mental images in your mind for each section you created. If at any point you forget a line from the script, think back to the mental images you created. This strategy is especially helpful for visual learners. A part of the memorization process is repeating the lines out loud over and over again. While you're doing this, don't repeat it in the exact same way every time. Instead, play around with the lines. This will help you to keep the lines fresh in your mind and learn them subconsciously instead of mechanically. For example, recite your monologue as fast and as slow as you can, say it in a funny voice, or say with a different dialect. Writing things down can increase your retention because you use different parts of your brain than when you're speaking. Writing also activates muscle memory and allows you to slowly absorb every word and sentence. So write down your entire monologue a couple of times until it stays in your memory. When memorizing a monologue, it helps to do some sort of physical activity while you practice it. You can do something simple while you recite it, like washing the dishes or cleaning your room. This will help you to learn the monologue without giving it much thought. Make sure to keep the script nearby during your physical activity, so if you forget a line you can easily refer to it. During one of your practicing sessions, use your cell phone, computer, or digital camera to record yourself reciting the lines. Then, watch the recording and take mental notes about your performance. This will not only help you memorize the monologue, but it will also help you determine aspects of your performance that you can improve upon. If you're auditioning for a role or trying to get a good grade in an acting class, pay close attention to your facial expressions, posture, speed, and volume. These are important features that the judges will be looking at during your performance. It may help to repeat your recording multiple times. While listening, try to say the words along with or slightly ahead of the recording.
A: Break down the monologue into smaller sections. Use the visualization strategy to memorize your monologue. Play around with the tempo and delivery of your monologue while you practice. Write out the entire monologue. Recite your monologue while moving around. Record yourself performing the monologue.

Article: While you can use any sort of coin, it's best to start with larger ones, such as a quarter, unless you're making a ring for smaller fingers. The coin doesn't need to be newit can be spare change you already have around the house. Make sure the coin isn't valuable before deciding to turn it into a ring. Look for a flat piece of heavy metal, a concrete floor, or any other solid, hard surface. This will be your base for hammering, and you'll hold the coin on top of the hard surface. Choose a surface that won't be damaged by a hammer. A bench vise is another option for a flat, hard surface. Hold the coin using one hand so that it's sitting up straight with a sliver of an edge touching the hard surface. Use a hammer to gently hit the edges of the coin, rotating the coin slowly as you hammer so that all of the sides are hit evenly. Continue hammering until the coin reaches the thickness of a ring. Make sure your fingers aren't in the way of the hammer as it's hitting the top of the coin's edges. How thick you want your ring to be is entirely up to youroughly 0.5cm (0.20in) wide is good. Thicker rings will take longer to hammer, so be patient during this step. Avoid hitting the coin with a lot of force, as this could turn it into an oval or damage the overall form. Make sure the piece of wood is thick enough that the drill can go down into the wood without messing up the surface underneath. Place the coin in the center of the piece of wood, and either hold the coin with your fingers or use an adjustable wrench to keep the coin steady. If you're holding the coin, hold the very edges so that your fingers won't be in the way of the drill. Hold the coin steady as you drill the hole. Start with a smaller gauge and drill all the way through the coin. Switch the drill bit to a larger size, then drill through the metal again. Once you've drilled the hole, the coin should be left with roughly 0.5cm (0.20in) of coin thickness around the entire edge. If you have a sanding wheel that attaches to your drill, this is great for sanding out the rest of the coin to create a smooth ring. Hold the coin steady using your fingers or some other sort of clamp as you sand the inside of the ring until it thins out. A dremel tool with an attachable sanding wheel is also a good option. Continue sanding until the coin is the thickness you want your ring to be. Attach a polishing wheel to your drill or dremel, using a small amount of polishing compound to get the best shine. Run the polishing wheel along the inside and outside of the ring, smoothing out all of the edges so the ring is shiny and completed. To use polishing compound, dip a rag or polishing wheel into the container of polish, using a small amount to rub over the ring's surface.
