Monologue When writing a monologue, you can think of about 2-3 minutes of dialog from one person (or several hours if you're thinking in terms of a one person play), on a topic, that allows the reader or actor to convey emotions. When doing a monologue in an audition scenario, it is usually one to three minutes in length, and an actor will be requested to perform two "contrasting" monologues. Your monologue can be comedic, tragic, involve lots of energy, movement and a highly animated character, or be low energy, not much movement and a lifeless character. Shakespeare, ancient Greek, and early 20th century literature is full of monologue samples. Monologues can provide a brief character description and synopsis of the scene. Okay, so I was going to the mall and I ran into Candy Harper, you know the one who is always so like, I'm the best dancer around, and nobody will ever be better. And she tells me that she is going to enter this dance contest that had prize money of $1000. I thought to myself, I could really like use $1000, so I started to look around for a partner. I ran into Troy Samson, but he was like I don't have any time because of my football, and I was like, Dude, it's $1000 dollars. He was like, awesome I'm in. So anyway, he and I did a Hip Hop Jazz type of duet, and we were so hot. On the contest day, of course Candy was there with all her hair, and bounce, and tiny skirt which so did not fit her, and she dissed me. Actually said I was wasting my time and to get lost. Nuh, Uh, was my quick comeback, but it didn't matter anyway, because at the end I decided I was going to add my standing backward flip while Troy did a forward. Well I am so glad she pissed me off because that move won us the competition, and Candy had to slink out of there with her fake weave, and torn leotard, and she was all "You guys are totally cheaters," and I was like "whatever, you overgrown rock fungus." So anyway, I got my $500 bucks, and bought the most georgous clothes so that I can continue to show Candy and her plastic crew that she is so yesterday.
