Monologues for Teenage Girls - Contemporary Scene-Study for Young Actresses

Because a monologue comes from a great play, it doesn't necessarily follow that it's a great monologue for you

The writing may be fine and literary, but, from an actor's standpoint, there are other considerations

A great monologue for you is one that showcases you, lends itself best to your interpretation, makes auditors, instructors and casting directors sit up and say, "Wow!"

Often, monologues lifted from plays are -- because they are lifted from plays -- totally out of context. They don't make a lot of sense unless delivered in relation to the total piece

Unless you devote a great portion of your valuable, allotted time to exposition, a monologue pulled randomly from a play is an abstract thing and is usually, therefore, of an unspecified duration with no point of reference, no point of view, and no beginning, middle and end

Dramaline's original monologues are of ideal duration, embrace contemporary subjects, have definite points of view, are written in today's speech, and have beginnings middles and ends. And they are not over-worked warhorses. They are fresh slices of modern life that focus maximum attention on you

And they are formatted with readable spacing and printed on eye-easy paper
