A bit I wrote sometime ago

The Druid King: D.S. or Druid Speak
http://thedruidking.blogspot.com/.../ds-or-druid-speak.html

Bits from one of my  groups.

a: Repertoire: Memorization, reading or outline-improv?


b: Voice and Bearing: Volume, dynamics, characterization

c: Tropes and Tricks: choose a list of such - descriptions, line-length play, rhythmic sections, repetition and motif, etc.

 Memorization takes time. What devices could be used while in the process?

A list of Tropes and Tricks?
>>
Searles O'Dubhain Carve your notes in Ogham on several staves.

 Use them and read them aloud to key your mind and memory to the images and tales associated with the phrase that you have carved.

Go through them in sequence.

If there is something that needs to be embellished use a standard template for the type of embellishment to be done.

 You can customize it to the tale or the subject.

That's why the Briatharogam are studied by Druid students.  <<

Eddic Listing Techniques and the Coherence of “Rúnatal”
Listing was a fundamental activity of early poets, having its roots in the need for the efficient organization of information that had to be stored in the memory, as well as in the mnemonic requirements of oral delivery.
