What makes a good teen monologue?

A good teen monologue reveals the experience of what it means to be a teenager based on emotional depth, complexity, and understanding.

• Here are a five ideas on what to look for in a teen monologue:

1. Imaginary Circumstances
A good teen monologue is one in which the imaginary conflict the actor connects to will propel them to perform.

2. Emotional Range
A solid teen monologue gives room for the actor to express different emotions, avoiding only playing on one note, and instead revealing different aspects of their characters internal life.

3. Relatable Conflict or Issue
A teen monologue can be good when it’s something the actor relates to, whether it’s derived from family issues, friendship, or dating.

4. A Strong Point of View
A good teen monologue often comes with a character who has a strong perspective on a particular subject, whether it be personal or on society.

5. A Clear Objective or Need
Having a clear objective (want/need) for a monologue helps the teen actor construct a path forward with their character.  When there is a solid driving force beneath the words of the monologue, that propels the circumstances forward.

In sum, a great teen monologue should be truthfully expressed, relatable, and one in which the actor feels the desire to perform.
