I have to submit a monologue before midnight tomorrow for a monologue competition and this has really helped out. I'll, of course, give an update later on sharing my experience about everything when I'm done. Wish me luck 🤞🏾
This video motivated me to do my assignment not just for the sake of doing it but to try and give my best also I know nothing on how to and this gave me a clear precise idea on how to approach thanks a lot ❤
This is actually such fantastic advice thank you so much for posting this j might've needed to pay 500 bucks for a workshop that I forget about the next morning just to get these tips so bro thank you
"think of it as an opportunity to act. it's a chance to do what you love." im sorry but im doing this agaisnt my will for my drama teacher because we have to take art rotations in school. still very helpful! thank you.
That is a unique situation, but I do encourage you to try and enjoy it. Acting should be a fun experience, and you never know, this might one day become a passion of yours!
Hey,I was checking out this video and came across your comment. I've been acting for over 10 years onstage with some TV/Film projects.What's the monologue and play?
AaronRagland TV it’s about a old mother’s dying wish !! ( i wrote the monologue) my teacher didn’t really elaborate on how we should and can deliver it. i tried delivering the monologue but it just doesn’t seem to piece together well 😖
Some wickedly amazing advice! I recently signed up for StageMilk's Drama Club and this advice will definitely come in handy for February's project submission.
Thank you for this concise and valuable reminder of performing a monologue. I am a professional actor and we have a challenge to not only perform but write the monologue. I knew I had a stumbling block and now I know what it is - what do I want? I know I should have known that as basic acting but just didn't put it in context with the monologue.
Hello StageMilk... I really want to be an actress one day, I think that it is my dream... I am trying very hard, I read monologues, dramatic and comendic, but the thing I am afraid most is that maybe I have not the talent... How can I find out if I have Talent or not??? 😟
Katerina Pada great to hear that you are working hard! You really have to just trust your own work. Hopefully as you get more experience you will be able to start trusting your own work a little more.
I am creating a Monologue for a agency, This video helped but I am still very nervous and don't know how I should present to them! Is it wrong to be doubting yourself during each practice made? I need help! @StageMilk
Hey! I have performed 100s of monologues in my career and I would still be very nervous performing a monologue for an agent. What you're going through is completely normal. Just prepare as thoroughly as you can and give it your best shot!
@@hyunjinllama3036 it went great! i was entered into a modeling and acting agency but do to covid, had to quit! still working towards my dreams tho! thanks for asking!
@@StageMilk Am a bit clueless about where you have to sing and/ rap? Like how do you go about it..do you do your own piece or can you sing/rap like a known song? If you would offer any guidance/knowledge on this I'd appreciate it-thankyou.
im in need of help!! im auditioning for a dance school online and they require a one minute acing monologue, can i use anything? can i create my own monologue ? do i just tell a story? HELP PLEASE!!
They should tell you all of this, or you should be able to talk to them directly. These are very specific questions. Generally speaking though I would avoid writing your own, and I would probably imagine they want a monologue from a published work most likely from a play.
@stagemilk I am looking forward to performing a monologue from Oscar Wilde's The Importance of being Ernest. Being an Asian, is it ok to perform in native accent, or should I try the British accent as of the original play?
Thank you for sharing all the tips that can contribute to the benefit of all of us who act...to become even better...and better... It is a process that lasts until the end of life. And that's why, once again, thank you for everything you do... for all of us. A big and warm greeting from Serbia.🎭✨
Thank you! Also, anyone have any ideas for a song you can use for a monologue? I have to perform a monologue from a song but, I can't find any songs that I could use. (The song has to be appropriate)
@@StageMilk I’m working on how to perform a monologue I’m inexperienced, I got an audition for a role in a few days but I believe with your tips I’ll do better. Thank you
All these tips should be a good start. But if you are working on a monologue for the first time I would really just trust your instinct and do your best to really understand the text. Once you really understand what you are saying and who you are saying it to, then just keep your performance really simple.
@@mrinaliniyadav6518 Oh I see. You would have to check with whoever you are performing for, but in any professional setting, this would not be appropriate. The whole point of a monologue is to hear your authentic voice.
Thanks for being so open and honest with us. Social anxiety and other fears are a huge thing for actors. Know that you are not alone and just to take things slowly. Every time you get up on stage or on screen you build a little more confidence.
I was stuck because I couldn’t do an acting assignment, it was a monologue, this video helped me so much thank you🙏
