  1. Monologues • The character may be speaking his or her thoughts aloud, directly addressing another character, or speaking to the audience. • It is distinct from a soliloquy, which is where a character relates his or her thoughts and feelings to him/herself and to the audience without addressing any of the other characters

  2. Monologues • Quick Tips for Choosing a Monologue • **Find a monologue with a character around your age and one that you can relate to. • **Grab a copy of the entire play so you can properly grasp the surrounding circumstances and background of the monologue. • **Choose a monologue that is "active" (ie: one that actively engages the other character). • **"Inactive" monologues are less engaging than "active" monologues. Inactive monologues are more like speeches that simply recount a story.

  3. Role of a Monologue • honesty in theatre • being trustworthy and taking a risk Three points of a Monologue: • talking to someone • powerful/personal emotion • it has a point. • the most powerful pieces come from personal experiences

  4. Think of one person in your life who effects you the most - the one person who can make you happier or angrier than anyone else you know (this one person can be a relative or friend). • On a blank piece of paper, write on sentence that you would say to that person if you could say anything without repercussions. This is your one chance to say what is on your mind without getting in trouble or being found out!

  5. Writing your own Monologue • Once you have had your turn, write down everything that you said while in front of the class. This will be your monologue rough draft.
