Contemporary monologues

General advice/feedback from others pieces


- Stillness/breath/thought bt thought process = Truthful/honest performance

- Has to flow naturally

- New thoughts = in the moment

- When talking about something or someone, really picture that in your head/imagine them

- Clear/bold decisions = Powerful impact on audience/other characters

- Play with your monologue- moment to moment

- Underline key lines/phrases, experiment with different ways to say it, change your tone of voice

- REALLY ask a question- rhetorical or actual questions- makes the audience think about this

- Find an objective, work out what you're going to do to achieve this.

- Whisper your speech, this strips back the 'acting' and adds truth. This stops you pushing the emotion and makes it more personal.

My feedback- Cock monologue


- Good choice of speech- suitable/castable for me, show a range of emotion/depth.

- Don't scrunch face- added too much tension/hides emotion from the audience- only happens when I'm pushing the emotion too much.

- Let new thoughts/beat changes sink in- show how they effect what I'm saying

- Whisper when rehearsing- find truth/subtlety  in what I'm saying.

- Really ask questions- show inner battle/confsuion

- Don't treat it like a speech- let it flow naturally.

- Don't ACT it, let emotion come naturally.
