19 Easy Monologues to Learn

19 Easy Monologues to Learn shares a few goodies that are short and sweet but still kick ass for your next casting, video upload or reel.

What makes a monologue easy to learn?

A shorter length monologue will oftentimes be easier to absorb and memorize. Sometimes an actor will identify and relate to a monologue in such a way that the piece will come naturally to them.

Either way, time must still be given to truly learn a monologue for performance level.

Maybe an audition opportunity popped up, and you need to find a monologue quick.

Perhaps, you simply want to learn something fast in order to test out your memorization skills.

Whichever your motive, Monologue Blogger has you covered for short pieces.  We create new monologues each day, some are longer and others shorter, all free for you to use, and all from published plays.
