Frequently Asked Questions

How long should a practice monologue be?

Sixty seconds is the standard audition cut and the default here. Most casting calls ask for one to two minutes, so being able to shape a complete arc inside sixty seconds is the more useful skill — if you can do a minute properly, two is easier, not harder.

What should I decide before starting?

One thing only: who you are talking to. Almost every weak monologue is weak because the actor is talking to nobody in particular. Fix the listener — their face, where they are, why they are not answering — and the rest of the choices tend to make themselves.

Should I stop if it is going badly?

No, and that is the main reason to have a timer. The instinct to restart when a line lands wrong is the single biggest obstacle to getting better, because performances live or die on recovery, not on flawless runs. Play the full minute, then reset and go again.

Can I use these in a drama class?

They are shaped for it. Each prompt gives a character and a situation but leaves the emotional choice open, so ten students spinning the same prompt produce ten different pieces — which is a far more useful class discussion than ten readings of the same published text.
