I need a 4min minimum monologue. I don't mind what topic or style. Please Help?

Answer 1

4 minutes minimum? Jeez, what are the casting directors, masochists? I hope this is for a class! Good luck!

Anyway, "Hamlet" is full of monologues that you can squeeze 4 minutes from. Tough read though. So does "King Lear", 1st act.

"Museum" has some good monologues.

Virtually anything by Eugene O'Neil will give you something nice and juicey for 4 minutes, just be prepared for depression by the time you're through memorizing it.

"Our Country's Good" has several good monologues, most for men, but a couple of excellent female ones. Just don't try the accents unless they make you.

Answer 2

Google or use ask.com and look up Monologues+characters or plays and see about it. I did it the other day for someone who asked this same question but here it is again:

http://library.umcrookston.edu/drama.htm...
It is a university website that has a listing of 204 book titles of plays where the characters speak monologues. You will have to look them up at your nearest library
Or track them down in a book seller on your own.
Many of Shakespeare's characters spoke in monologue. as well as other sources of course.

Answer 3

Do you mean you have to write your own speech? If so, pick a hobby you really enjoy, or a topic you've always wanted to learn more about. I, for instance, did one on ghosts. You can pick a topic and try to persuade people to your line of thinking.

If you mean you have to find a monolgue from a play or story and recite it, "The Tell-Tale Heart" by Edgar Allan Poe is great.

Answer 4

Try your local book store and see if they have a monologue book...you may be suprised how much of a selection there is....if you can't find it at a store...try Ebay!

Answer 5

i've read a really good one on the perspective of Judas, the disciple that betrayed Jesus. i think it's at least four minutes... and i might be able to help you find it if you need me to. :)
