Miscellaneous recommendations

This page will have videos or any articles, books, etc. That will recommend anything in particular, what you want to look for. Most of what is on this website, is what I have come across myself or from other sources and they were:

Don't call me stupid

This was a docmentry about dyslexia, which was presented by an ex-eastenders actress on BBC Three called "Don't call me stupid.", I am sure it can be found on the internet, somewhere. I would thoroughly recommend to watch it, as it gives a real insight into not only dyslexia, but how individual brains function. I recommend this, because it is partly also involving learning how to learn scripts with being dyslexic.

 

©2011 Referencing from the ' Don't call me stupid, It was made by the BBC and was shown on the BBC Three channel, which shown one personal journey into how their dyslexia affects them, and how it helped to overcome their own differences with scripts
 

Learning Lines by Mark Channon

This book I had found at a 'Surviving Actors' expo event, if you are more a book person, rather then, looking at youtube videos. It covers what is on what youc an find on the internet. But, in a more indepth way.
