How do actors prepare a monologue? Actors faced with a monologue (a long piece of text in which they are the only speaker) sometimes find it daunting to prepare. However, strong monologue performance skills are important for both stage and camera - since sometimes on-camera audition material doesn’t include the reader speaking at all, requiring the actor to generate all their actions and responses from their imagination instead of through interaction with a scene partner. Over the course of this one-day intensive workshop, Branch says, “We’ll talk about the weirdness of a one-sided conversation when you’re acting. We will use a series of fun, creative exercises and coaching sessions to learn how to work a (provided) monologue from beginning to end, in ways that help fire up the actors’ imaginations so that they can define and activate the given their character’s fictional circumstances to make their monologue work feel truthful, spontaneous, and fully realized. Then, the actors will each prepare and perform a monologue that I give them on-the-spot - and have them try to achieve similar performance goals.” This will be a fun deep-drive into monologue rehearsal and performance, and it is only open to 12 students aged 18+. Cost for the day is only $150.
