Monologues For Teenage Girls

Because a monolog 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!' Every consideration has been taken to make Dramaline books easy on the actor, to make them readily usable, effective tools. The accent is on you.

Extraordinary, action-oriented, off-the-beaten path monologues for teenagers.

Monologues for young adult actors (teens and twenties) - excerpted from Jim Chevallier's original collection "The Monologue Bin"

Forty fantastic female speeches for teenagers, all written since the year 2000, by some of the most exciting and acclaimed writers working today. Whether you're applying for drama school, taking an exam, or auditioning for a professional role, it's likely you'll be required to perform one or more monologues, including a piece from a contemporary play. It's vital to come up with something fresh that's suited both to you - in order to allow you to express who you are as a performer - and to the specific purposes of the audition. In this invaluable collection you'll find forty speeches by leading contemporary playwrights including Andrew Bovell, Nadia Fall, Vivienne Franzmann, James Fritz, Stacey Gregg, Arinzé Kene, Cordelia Lynn, Lynn Nottage, Chinonyerem Odimba, Evan Placey, Jessica Swale and Tom Wells, from plays that were premiered at many of the UK's most famous and respected venues, including the National Theatre, Shakespeare's Globe, Manchester Royal Exchange, Royal Court Theatre, Bush Theatre, and the Edinburgh Festival Fringe and VAULT Festival. Drawing on her experience as an actor, director and teacher at several leading drama schools, Trilby James introduces each speech with a user-friendly, bullet-point list of ten things you need to know about the character, and then five ideas to help you perform the monologue. This book also features an introduction to the process of selecting and preparing your speech, and approaching the audition itself.

Acting teacher Mark Weston has written a companion to his most successful Winning Monologues from the Beginnings Workshop. After observing his acting students over many years struggling with books that offered speeches and recitations in lieu of monologues, Mr. Weston wrote his true and original monologues for young performers. He is pleased to acknowledge that many young performers have benefitted. For the first time, 101 short, precise and valuable acting hints are included, deriving from his successful acting career and including direct quotes from his acting teacher Lee Strasberg. These monologues can be a big help for young people beginning to study and audition for careers in theatre, film or TV.
