Monologue
1 (Elizabethan and Jacobean): I have to decide between my “Love Labour’s
lost” monologue by Berowne and my “Richard III” monologue by Gloucester
(Richard III). I believe I will chose
the monologue from “Love Labour’s lost” as this is a very silly and comedic
monologue which is a play on my strengths in acting unlike the “Richard III”
monologue which is very intense, being intense is considered to be one of my
weaknesses so choosing the “Love Labours lost” monologue will help show off my
acting range.
Monologue
2 (Contemporary): I need to decide my Contemporary monologue from the 5
monologues I have found which are Walter’s monologue from “Five Finger
Exercise”, Dave’s from “It’s Ralph”, Richard’s from “DNA”, Paul’s monologue
from “When it rains gasoline” or Phil from “Boy’s life”. I have decided that I
will not choose Dave’s monologue from “it’s Ralph” as I do not suit the
character personality or age as well as not having any familiarity of
consequences going on with Ralph’s death. I am also not considering performing Richard’s
monologue from “DNA” as even though we are both in a similar age range to each
other, our personalities do not match as Richard is a strong assertive type
which doesn’t suit my personality. I am also not going to choose the monologue
from “Boy’s life” by Phil as even though I suit the character type the
monologue doesn’t play to my strengths as an actor because the monologue is
considered to be a dark romantic piece as he’s trying to impress a girl just in
the wrong way. I’m now left with 2 monologues to choose from for my main
contemporary monologue, either Paul’s from “When it rains gasoline” or Walter’s
for “Five Finger Exercise”. I believe
the monologue from “when it rains gasoline” is my strongest of the 2 as I suit
the character as a teenage boy as well as the monologue plays to my strengths
as it is a comedic monologue at the start but turn dark and twisted as it gets
towards the end. My Contemporary monologue will be Paul’s from “When it rains
gasoline.
Monologue
3 (Spare monologue): My spare monologue will be Walter’s from “Five Finger
Exercise” as this monologue plays to my strengths as an actor of dark comedic
scenes. Walter’s character doesn’t suit my age but we have contrasting
personalities so I will be able to adapt myself to this monologues needs.
