âoh! thatâs interesting, iâve never heard of the acronym method before,â hyunhee tells him, furrowing her brows as she thinks. it could have very well been something she was supposed to have learned during a workshop but either forgot or wasnât paying enough attention for it to stick in her head. âi know we donât have many lines, so it might seem silly that iâm struggling,â she says sheepishly. âbut i appreciate your help! and i would love to go over our lines together,â the model tells him earnestly.
âthatâs a good question.â hyunhee pauses to think. ânow that iâm on the spot, iâm not sure? i think a song is easier to memorize because itâs catchy. i think it might be harder to memorize the rap verses, actually.â she laughs. âat least, memorize them in a way where the flow comes together, and sometimes itâs so fast that itâs easy to get tongue-tied if youâre not careful,â she tells him thoughtfully.
âyou donât rap though, do you?â she asks. âi think a lot of people tend to believe itâs easier because youâre âjust talkingâ instead of having to hit high notes, but i disagree. maybe iâm biased, but,â hyunhee shrugs. âit takes a little bit of skill. theyâre both difficult in their own ways.â
sanghyun admitted when he heard about the acronym method, âitâs not a common memorization method, but one of the actors iâve met in a musical introduced me to it. iâve been told he learned it because he read somewhere that some american actors use it to memorize their lines.â nodding his head, sanghyun glanced around to see where he had left his script. even though it was a cf, he liked keeping the script nearby in case the director decided to change something at the last minute.
while grabbing the script from the table closest to him, he kept his attention on hyunhee as he listened to her. shaking his head, sanghyun revealed, âi donât. but the few times iâve tried? i was awful. like you said, people think itâs easier because itâs âjust talkingâ, but the flow, beat, and rhythm are what really sell the meaning and impact of a rap.â recalling why he asked in the first place, sanghyun continued, âi was wondering if memorizing raps is easier because you can separate the process â learning the lyrics first, then layer in the flow, rhythm, and emphasis afterward. itâs kind of like acting, where you start by memorizing the dialogue before refining the performance. although, i guess a songâs melody, or just how catchy it is, probably helps with memorization too. iâm just guessing, though. iâm not a rapper, so itâs nice hearing how someone who actually does it approaches it.â
as he looked down at his script, he smiled. âanyway, iâm ready to rehearse whenever you are.â
