Product Description

In professional and student theater alike, a good monlogue can often mean the difference between a "Thank you . . . Next!" and a call-back. But sometimes it's hard for an aspiring actor to find the absolutely right audition piece that suits his or her personal style, type or age group.

Monologues For Young Actors is a unique and invaluable collection of dramatic speeches from some of the world's greatest plays -- chosen specifically for actors in their teens and early twenties.

Whether you're looking for something comedic or tragic, contemporary or classic, unorthodox or naturalistic, this superb compilation has the monologue you need -- an indispensible tool to help you hone you craft . . . and land that role.

Customer Reviews

It is ok
I borrowed this book from a friend it was OK but it didn't have a lot of monologues that a 15-year old could use.

a good book for young actors
I first picked up this book at camp. I was looking for something to preform in the talent show that could doble as an audition peice. As young looking 15 yearold I offten find it very hard to find monolouges that fit my age group. After years of looking I found it. My dream monolouge. It was in this book. While yes, this book does have some monolouges for older children it also has some mature youger ones aswell. (Nothing below the age of a mature 12 year old) However, most of the monolouges have a seious side to them. They are not to be taken as funny monolouges that will amuse people but a serious peices taken from serious plays. If you are looking for a monolouge that will chalenge you this book is for you. if not then look elsewhare.

an ok source for monologes
I feel that this book is and inadequate source for monologes because it doesnt have enough monologes. I feel that it could have been better if it was more pages. I also feel that the authors could have expanded their types of monologes better.
