I was script supervising on set this weekend and witnessed something I had never seen before. One of the actors is a method actor. Before and after auditions he stayed in character, so the director knew he would have to navigate this. But on day one of the shoot, he came to the set late and held up...

Hey everyone, As a drama student in college I am starting to look for monologues that I could use for university. I understand that the monologue has to be right for me. But I can't seem to find any. I was wondering if there was a playwrite that people could suggest that may be interesting and diffe...

A monologue can come from a favorite movie/movie character you identify with. Most scripts can be found online.
I never thought of movies, thank you.
I know this is probably way too late to help in any way, but I thought I'd offer my two cents anyway. Some of the best and most naturalistic monologues I've experienced in film are in the 'Before' Tri...

I recently discovered that I could download English subtitles for almost any film for free. They are usually in srt format that can be opened with Notepad and will appear as simple text. I can then copy and edit as needed to put together a monologue.
Living through the process of navigating the craft side, but now more than ever, a huge emphasis on every artist having to be as equally, or aware enough to hire others, to be business savvy in marketability, insights, professionalism and self-preservation/promotion. Trusting that forming a communit...

I call BS. And 'being talented' shouldn't be an excuse for acting badly. Be a METHOD producer and tell him that his PAY will be cut, but it shouldn't bother the CHARACTER, because it's not his money.

As an actor (and recently first time director), all I can say is I sense ego at play. Being in character is great, professionalism is just as important. Inconveniencing the whole cast and crew and then calling it method acting is more about ego than craft.
