Lead role study recommendations
Greetings fellow actors!!
As the title states, I’m looking for study recommendations.
I’ve been going to an acting school for the past year and a half now and the teacher is also a director. He has opened my eyes to a level of acting I didn’t know I could attain! Helped me believe in myself. I now say “I’m an actor!” as opposed to “Yeeeah, I do this acting thing” because of him.
He will be shooting his first independent feature film next month and tapped me for the lead role! Not gonna lie, I’m feeling the pressure as I’ve never done anything of this magnitude. The most I’ve done in class was the fight scene in Marriage Story and it was 9 pages, his project is 85 pages!
Now, I don’t have any issues with memorization but I would like to know how does one study a script that size? I’ve just been reading it, not memorizing anything yet.
Any suggestions and recommendations are welcomed and appreciated!
