Monologue Prep

Our task this week was to find a monologue that we feel we can use to showcase all of our acting abilities. I have completed countless amounts of research trying to find a monologue that I was confident and passionate about. Personally, I am a massive fan of dramatic monologues rather than comedic ones because I feel like dramatic monologues take a lot more skill to deliver than any other. Before even beginning to research for this task I knew that I would like to recite a monologue from a movie rather than a monologue from a play. This is due to the fact that I have never watched a stage show that contains a monologue that makes me feel inspired or emotional.

The Orange by Wendy Cope (1992) - Filming Task

The poem is about the little things in life that make us happy. I knew instantly that I didn't want to take the poem too seriously because even though it is quite a loving and easy going po em I feel that in this time of lockdown everything is very serious and it would be best to inject a bit of happiness and make people laugh with this filming task. I only use my phone to edit the videos that I make so they aren...

Self Tape

Recently, we were tasked with finding and learning a monologue. The blog post prior to this one explains the reason I chose the monologue I perform. As you will notice in this video, my costume is different to what I said it was going to be in my last post. When sitting down to film my monologue I realised that my look wasn't right and a bun was not the correct hairstyle for this character. I also added a pair of hoops to my look because after giving it some thought, I realised that my character would like to subtly show off her wealth. My Finished Monologue:
