How to Write a Monologue
in this clip we're going to be talking
about how to write a monologue if you
dare so you're going to make you're
going to write your own monologue okay
here are some things that you need to
keep in mind one generally if you're
writing a monologue I hope that you have
some sort of writing experience or know
that you can write stuff because usually
monologues aren't as easy as they seem
to write generally wanting to keep in
mind is that they cannot be too long
make sure your monologue is maybe a page
long not longer than two pages because
monologues need to be delivered within
about two minutes give or take a little
less a little more time and that
includes different you know pauses
beats that are included in in the
monologue but basically when you're
writing a monologue you need to make
sure you also determine you have one
character whether it be male or female
and usually this character is dealing
with some sort of situation whether it
be relationship whether it be the
personal live whether it be something
that's bugging them and depending on
where you start off with this monologue
make sure you determine if it's going to
be funny or if it's going to be dramatic
or if it's going to be subtle but when
you're when you're when you're writing
this monologue it needs to go from one
place to another as far as like this
character has to have a discovery or
they have to realize something about
themselves or someone else that gives
the actor who's presenting the monologue
a chance to really show off different
variations of their art whether they
need to be sad or if they need to be
excited or if they need to you know they
need to show whoever's watching them
perform this monologue some sort of
variations of what they can do because
your monologue is what is going to give
that actor the tool to get the job they
need so even though it's up to the actor
to perform your monologue make sure you
don't give them stuff that they can't
work with so that's how you're going to
be able to write a monologue
