Acting Students In Need of Monologue Dramas

It is vitally important for actors to read plays.

In fact, actors should read screenplays as well.  While we’re at it, read novels, poetry, comic books, newspapers and any other reading material that you can get your hands on that will make room in your mind to imagine people and envision stories.

Sometimes, there isn’t enough quality reading going on, and in today’s society, we get bombarded with so much noise that it does in fact get distracting.

The more plays you read, the more characters you will discover. Eventually, you will come across a monologue that strikes you enough with the desire to perform it.

You might ask yourself, “What kind of plays should I read?”  Well, other than reading what we share here on Monologue Blogger, we highly recommend reading plays by Ibsen, Strindberg, Eugene O’Neill, and Chekhov, the forefathers of modern drama.  Visit the works not only of present day writers (there are so many great ones), but also read Shakespeare and the ancient Greeks.

Such wonderful writers will help you understand the foundation of what you need to know about character, relationships, atmosphere, circumstances, and so much more.

It’s always good to educate yourself and learn about dramatic action, conflict, and structure. When you understand more deeply about specific aspects of the drama, you will become more efficient at maximizing your role in a given scene.

The more you absorb, the better acting choices you could potentially make for your role.

It’s a good way to get connected to specific time periods and to expand your understanding of the evolution of different societies, cultures, and classes.

The point is, don’t get so caught up with watching.  It’s a good idea to make the effort to read in your life if you aren’t already.
