| Heya Everyone! Gosh, so much to say....where to begin??? Firslty, lets start with a few things you'd like to know. Any questions you'd like to ask about any type of drama or acting, id be happy to answer! Our first topic is......MONOLOGUES!!! what is a monolgue?: A monologue is an act or performance done by only one actor. It is usualy a scene from a famous. there are three different monologue styles: the first, and most popular style is when the actor is "talking" to another character even though the charater isnt there. Here are a few tips........ 1. Know your strengths - if you have a great memory, you can choose a longer piece that might have a greater punch for the judges/audiences. If you do a wonderful New York accent, try a piece that shows off this ability. Or, if you know the part you're auditioning for is athletic, find a monologue that has motion as well as dialogue. 2. Read a lot of different monologues for different ages - if you find you can do a great senior citizen, this can expand the range of monologues you can try. 3. Try less known writers - the judges and audiences have heard Hamlet/Goodbye Girl/ Neil Simon/David Mamet a million times. If you find a playwright that hasn't had work done in your community, you have a better chance of keeping the audience interest. 4. Test out monologues on people who aren't related to you - the mailperson, strangers at a rec/senior center - so that you get visual and verbal feedback on different monologues. | |
