Memory
Everyday you are either getting stronger or weaker...you decide!
I learned something today that backs up my rehearsal technique and will help me remember things like peoples names better. If you know me you know I WAS really bad at remembering names. I will call you by the wrong name for ever. I also need to have a good memory for Comedy, Speeches, Improv and just life in general.
I spoke about turning your Jokes into Pictures, sounds and feelings in my last blog post. So luckily todays lesson works well with this its about turning that memory into a visualization or picture sound a feeling... sound familiar?
Lets take a name for example: Say you meet someone names John Turner... you break the name into 2 first and last name, associate a famous person with each, then put them and the person whose name you are learning in a odd or wacky scene so you can remember it.
"John" Lennon, John Turner and Tina "Turner" playing spin the bottle or Doing the double dutch jump rope thing is memorable to me. See how that works. It can be hard with some names but the more scenes you use in your visualization the more memorable the name of thing will be.
Small hint to helping you with your memory is to not say you have a bad memory, don't admit it to yourself. Alway be positive about it and your subconscious will get the point and di its job.
I hope this works for you and I will start calling you by name, no more hey guy, dude, or "You" like I usually refer to people.
