In Stop Memorizing Your Lines, acclaimed Director and Acting coach Loren E. Chadima introduces an innovative methodology tailored precisely for the rapid demands of contemporary acting work.

Unlike traditional methods that assume weeks of rehearsal time, Chadima's system equips actors to deliver compelling performances with less than 24 hours notice.

This practical guide distils the wisdom of Stanislavsky, Strasburg, Meisner, and other masters into nine essential questions that form a repeatable framework for authentic character development. Through this scientific approach, actors learn to internalize rather than merely memorizing lines, creating performances that stand out in self-tapes and on set. Chadima's students have secured roles alongside industry heavyweights in projects featured on major streaming platforms, studio films, and prestigious film festivals—all by applying these nine transformative questions.

This book is perfect for working actors, acting students, and performers seeking to elevate their acting and audition success in today's competitive digital casting landscape.

Reviews

“FINALLY! A book for actors that breaks down acting and memorizing lines into simple, efficient, repeatable steps that produce compelling, authentic performances.”

Mary Lou Belli - Two-time Emmy Award Winning Director: Elsbeth, True Lies, NCIS New Orleans, The Ms.Pat Show

"My shelf is full of 20+ acting books of brilliant individual ornaments, but The 9 Questions of Intentional Acting is the only chain of lights that wraps around all of them and sets this unforgettable Christmas tree aglow!”

Chris Doubek - Winning Time: The Rise Of The Lakers Dynasty, Babylon, Blue Miracle, This Is Us, Euphoria

“This book gets at the heart of the matter: it's craft and artistry that moves a student with a dream to a performer with intention into a working actor with a career. This book holds the key. Highly recommended for classes, workshops and all actors who want to level up.”

Dr. Rachel Raimist - Associate Professor University of Alabama, TV Directing: Bel Air, The Spiderwick Chronicles; CSI Las Vegas; Wu-Tang: An American Saga

“Loren Chadima's book pinpoints the crucible every actor has experienced at one time or another in the course of auditioning--- stumbling over words that refuse to be readmitted to memory once the nerves have kicked in--- and shows a path that leads back to confidence and composure. Her wise, witty and generous approach offers a practical game plan for tackling the rigors of 21st century casting realities. Students at every level will find much to reflect upon and put into immediate practice.”

Robert Bailey - Professor, Stage Director & Actor, University of Southern California School of Dramatic Arts

“I know that when I apply The 9 Questions my work is stronger, more nuanced and built from facts drawn out by my script analysis. My agent even commented after a few months of class how he thought my tapes were improving. I’ve gotten re-calls (callbacks) and booked jobs from my tapes since applying the methods of Intentional Acting which before working with Loren felt impossible.”

Maria Louis - We Were The Lucky Ones, Slow Horses, People Doing Nothing, Eastenders, Deceit

“Loren Chadima's The 9 Questions of Intentional Acting has been integral to our mutual clients booking roles. They have booked television, film and commercials directly from their self tapes! Loren's theory and teaching has helped new and veteran actors alike, giving both fresh and stagnant careers an edge in an incredibly competitive industry.”

Kacie Newport - Talent Manager BAM Management
