1. MONOLGOUES
DRAMA

2. What is monologue
Why is the definition so important? Because as an actor, you must always be pursuing an objective. You must remain active.
What is the purpose of your monologue.
What is the goal of the character.

3. Things to think about…
Have a clear objective. You can't just stand there and talk. You have to be actively talking to someone you've imagined, and you must be trying to get something from them.
Have a distinct beginning, middle, and end. A beginning: A strong first sentence to capture attention. A middle: Lots of juicy content. An end: A strong finish. When your monologue has structure, the auditors are more likely to remember you.
Contain conflict. Drama cannot exist without conflict. Who wants to see a play about everyone getting along? Boring...
