Joyce is an incredible memory coach. For my role as Pastor Jefferson in Tyler Perry’s Divorced Sistas, I had just 20 days to memorize 89 scenes while producing a feature film at the same time. Joyce gave me the structure, tools, and confidence to make it possible.

Hi, I'm Joyce, a 3-time Jeopardy champ and performance memory coach!

Drama school taught me a lot of things. How to memorize wasn't one of them. So I did what most actors do: I read my lines over and over, white-knuckled my way through, and hoped for the best.

Everything changed when my love of trivia led me to the science of how memory actually works. I discovered decades of proven research on learning and retention.

At the same time, I recognized that memorizing dramatic text isn't like memorizing facts. These findings needed to be adapted to the actor's craft.

Actors don't just recall lines, they LIVE lines, through emotion, action, the body, and the voice.

So I designed a method specifically for the actor's brain and the actor's craft. So lines don't just stick, they come alive. And so do you!

I created Off Book It so I could share my insights with you and help you memorize lines quickly and easily.

Memorizing Lines Isn't Like Memorizing Facts

Acting is a unique and wonderful thing! Lines not only have to be recalled. They have to be embodied and performed - through emotion, action, movement, and the voice. To meet the current demands of the industry, actors need memory strategies built for how their brain works and how their craft works.
