How to Be a Really Famous Actor (And Other Acting Tips), Friday, Period 1

When the class was settled, they might notice a bunch of script books on Lucas's desk. Or at the very least, they'd notice it was a whole bunch of books. Was he going to throw the books? Who knew? Lucas himself probably hadn't decided yet.

"Well, you've gotten this far without making me kick you out of the class or throw you out the window or anything. That counts for something. And maybe you've spent this whole class hoping for some technical instruction in acting from a guy best known for action films. And if that's the case, I'm just going to laugh at you. You don't really need that kind of technical training if you're hot and charismatic enough. And even if you are both of those things, there's a chance you've just been gifted with the ability to remember lines quickly. That's me."

"But still, we're going to do a class on how to remember your lines. Here's something I printed off the internet about it. Read up, then go through the books on my desk and find a scene to act out because that's going to be your final. Find a monologue, do a group thing, hell, find a scene and play every part in it yourself. Memorize it however you need to because next week you'll be on stage in the auditorium performing it."

Memorizing lines always seemed so tedious to Nathan. It was one of the many reasons he'd never tried out for school plays (and plus, he just didn't want to get lumped in with drama freaks) and he didn't see the point now.

Still, he listened and even read over the printout in an attempt to broaden his horizons.

Ramona remembered all the HEARTBREAKING SHE HAD DONE. And also she was fine with pretending to memorize lines.
