As in most fields, the craft of acting is composed of multiple skills, anything from accents to hitting your mark to incorporating physicality. One skill I get asked about a lot is memorization. For some actors it’s a real bear.
I recently discovered a great memorization tool, an iPhone app called Rehearsal. (In iTunes store here.) Although it offers several features, the app’s real strength is making it easy to have your partner’s lines read aloud to you. And hearing the lines, not just reading them off the page, has made it much easier for me to memorize.
The app isn’t cheap, but for me it’s worth every penny.

nor do I speak of memory, mine is very bad.I would never be able to record an entire script of a movie or episode you do,so I never ventured to be an actor.
