For the purposes of acting, a monolog (or monologue) is a performance in which one actor speaks alone. The performance can last for less than a minute or go as long as several hours (as when one does a one person play.)
For auditions, a monolog is usually one to three minutes in length. Frequently, auditioners are requested to perform two "contrasting" monologs. For example:
- A comedic monolog
A tragic monolog
- A monolog with lots of energy, movement and a highly animated character
A monolog with low energy, not much movement and a lifeless character.
An auditioner might also be requested to present a contemporary monolog (one from the mid to late 20th century) and a classical monolog (ancient Greek up to the early 20th century.)
Monolog books contain monologs. Some of them also contain two or three person scenes. The monologs are usually from produced plays although some books contain stand-alone monologs that are written specifically for audition purposes and are not part of a play.
Most monologs books will provide a brief character description and synopsis of the scene in which the monolog occurs. When preparing to rehearse a monolog, it is best to read the play from which the monolog comes. This will help you better understand your character, the circumstances that lead up to the point in the play when the monolog occurs and the relationship(s) between the monolog's character and the other character(s) in the play to whom the actor might be speaking or speaking about.
For audition tips, see the AWOL Lesson, "
AUDITIONS WILL BE HELD FOR...(a few helpful tips)" on the AWOL Home Page.
For acting tips, see the Lessons, "
ACTING AS CONVERSATION", "
HELP! I GOT THE PART! NOW WHAT?" and
THE ESSENCE OF ACTING on the AWOL Home Page.
Where can you find monolog books? Below is a list of books that are available to purchase on-line through Amazon.com. You can also find monolog books at most well stocked libraries. If you live in a small town and do not have any useful monolog books in your town library, ask the librarian what might be available through an inter-library loan program. You can also find monolog books for sale in many book stores, although the selection is generally limited.
Can you find any contemporary monologs on-line? Somewhat. Good monologs usually come from well written scripts. Writers who write good scripts publish their work and want to get paid for it. They simply will not post their good material on-line for anyone to download for free.
Some sites post some
monologs from TV shows and movies. Some sites post monologs from plays. There may be copyright issues involved for the sites posting these monologs, so you might one day see the sites disappear.
You can also find the text to some public domain plays and some classical plays, like
Shakespeare's complete works, on the internet to download for free.
You can find some sites with original monologs posted. Beware of "original" monologues. The quality of the writing can be quite terrible.
If you are looking for a consistent source of quality material (which is what you want), I suggest you go to the library or purchase monolog books.
