Get off book ASAP without the fear, anxiety, and overwhelm!
If memorizing lines feels slow, frustrating, or like a total slog... it's not you. It's your method. Discover the smarter, faster way to memorize lines using proven, science-backed strategies.
To the professional actor that wants to be confidently off book FAST with every single script they get, so they can stop stressing and move to the next level of their career...
You’ve got talent and are committed to your craft. And you’re already doing the work of auditioning, taking acting classes, and networking with others in the industry.
Problem is, you feel like you’re drowning in the number of pages you have to memorize! More often than not, you find yourself fumbling lines, and it’s draining your confidence.
You want to memorize lines faster and with more ease, so you can get out of your head and be free to really shine!
But until you have a fast, reliable method that can really get lines to stick…those bigger, more substantial roles will remain out of reach.
7 telltale signs poor line memorization is holding you back from achieving your acting goals...
- You resort to taping up your script off-camera or using a teleprompter for your self-tapes even though you know you perform so much better and are more likely to book the job when you’re completely memorized.
- You're on the verge of tears in frustration because you wasted hours memorizing lines by rote only to completely BLANK when it came time to actually perform.
- You’re eager to take your career to the next level, but you’re terrified you won’t be able to handle the memorization load of a large guest star or series regular role.
- You’re beating yourself up because you were a nervous wreck on set and messed up your lines during filming. You feel like you let everyone down and embarrassed yourself.
- Line memorization gives you so much anxiety to the point where you’ve considered giving up acting entirely.
- You know deep down that you could land bigger, better roles if you could just memorize lines faster and more confidently. You’d put yourself out there more instead of shying away from big auditions.
- You've been acting for decades, but as you've gotten older memorization has become a lot more challenging. You're thinking about calling it quits because you just can’t handle the stress anymore.
If ANY of that is true for you...
You don't need to keep drilling your lines over and over until your brain goes numb...
What you need is a smarter memorization method that is informed by the actual science of memory and learning, and is proven to optimize your brain's natural ability to remember.
So you can memorize lines fast, make them stick, and be calm, focused, and performance-ready no matter how many pages you get. This way you can confidently step into the next stage of your career.

"It changed my life as far as the stress level and my confidence level. I've never felt more confident on the stage."
Sue Ann Staake
Many students report memorizing faster on the FIRST DAY OF JOINING! 👀
"I noticed I was able to recall a lot more, even from day one."
"I was taking acting classes and was massively frustrated. I could not understand why I could not remember my lines, even though I had spent numerous hours cramming them into my head. I was struggling to a point where I thought maybe this isn't for me. But I'm not a quitter!
I joined Joyce’s course. I followed the steps, and I had a lightbulb moment. I noticed I was able to recall a lot more, even from day one. As I applied what I learned, I had a huge boost in my confidence level. I wasn't stuck anymore. I could feel the memorization becoming a lot less frustrating, and I was seeing progress in a very short period.
My coach commented on my recall and noticed I was able to focus more on the acting, not the lines. I was starting to flow.
I absolutely love this course, and I'm so glad that I found it."

Hi, I'm Joyce!
I'm a trained actor and a 3-day champion on the game show Jeopardy. As an actor, I struggled with memorizing lines, but as a trivia enthusiast, I learned several simple, easy techniques to boost my memory. I created Off Book It so I could share my insights with other actors.
I have used these same strategies with my clients to help them get off book FAST and feel confident and at ease!
The Off Book It Method
Off Book It combines the insights from three fields of knowledge: cognitive psychology, ancient mnemonics, and modern acting. It synthesizes these insights into an innovative memorization method specifically designed for actors memorizing dramatic text. All the techniques used in The Off Book It Method are science-backed and proven!
Cognitive Psychology
Cognitive psychology is the scientific study of mental processes, including perception, memory, attention, problem-solving, and learning. Several research findings in this field show us how we can improve learning and increase memory retention and recall.
Ancient Mnemonics
You know those people you hear about sometimes who can memorize a whole deck of cards or 1,000 digits of pi? They're not prodigies or super geniuses. The techniques they use can be learned easily by anyone, and they've been around for thousands of years.
Modern Acting
Many of the standard practices actors employ to analyze a text and bring a role to life have been shown in studies to aid in the memorization of text. These include breaking a text into beats, finding objectives, and finding causal connections in the text.

"I shot all 3 auditions in a 3 day span...and I do not know how I would have done it without your course."
Tricia Alexandro
"I shot all 3 auditions in a 3 day span (5 scenes in one day) and I do not know how I would have done it without your course. My boyfriend Clark said he was so impressed...He said it was like 'night and day' from how I was just 2 weeks ago. Clark shot 5 scenes for me and 2 of those I Iearned by studying them for a half hour the night before and a half hour in the morning. I never would have been capable of that before. I would have been in fetal position crying!"

"I'm amazed that within 2 days, I already have a bulk of the lines memorized."
"This course is PHENOMENAL. I'm currently in the beginning stages of learning quite a hefty role for a play I'm in, and this has been a godsend in helping me get off book quickly so I can start playing more freely in rehearsal. I'm amazed that within 2 days, I already have a bulk of the lines memorized.
Learning lines used to give me so much anxiety, particularly with fast turnarounds. I now have the confidence that I can memorize quickly and efficiently. I really never thought that would be possible, and I can't tell you what a gift it is to no longer feel so much fear when I have a quick turnaround audition or role."

Still on the fence? Listen, I get it.
You’ve Googled line memorization tips a thousand times and most of the advice out there was complete you-know-what (💩) and none of it worked for you. What are the odds my program is any different?
But here’s the thing…
The people out there giving that bad advice…they are just guessing. They’ve never taken the time to actually educate themselves on how people ACTUALLY remember and retain things best.
I can’t promise you fame, fortune, and your name in bright lights.
But I can promise you this:
I’ve really done the work to figure out what works and what doesn’t.
I’ve worked with many actors who absolutely DREADED memorizing lines, and I’ve seen first-hand how my strategies made a night and day difference and completely turned things around for them.
It’s been so personally rewarding to see that change over and over again.
And hey, if all else fails, you’re covered by my 100% money-back guarantee.
So what’ve you really got to lose?
I’m rooting for you,
Joyce
