How to Perform a Monologue (Approaching a Monologue for Actors)

Are you working on a monologue for your upcoming drama school audition or class project? We are here to help.

In this video I break down everything you need to know to perform a monologue confidently. Monologues are really tricky and can be a cause for a lot of nerves for actors, but if you prepare thoroughly and think through these steps you should be well on your way.

The key to success in your next monologue really is preparation but there are a lot of things that you can take on board when it comes to performance. Enjoy!
