Audition Resources
A monologue is a speech delivered by a single character—holds a special place in the narrative structure of a play or film. The ability to perform a monologue in a way that demonstrates performance ability, imagination, and understanding of a project’s overarching narrative is especially important for young actors.
Here are some great resources for monologues for young actors.
