Monologues
Behold, the collection of monologues! OK, there’s not much here just yet, but I’m planning to pop up a new one each month until there’s a decent list.
I was shocked by the significant (and overwhelming) response I received to having just a couple of these posted. I guess comedy really is in short supply for women. Hopefully I can help change that.
If you want to audition with one of my monologues…
First off, copyright to me, all rights reserved. There. Now if anyone steals something and turns it into a blockbuster movie, I can sue for PUNITIVE damages, too. Woohoo! Anyway, I grant you permission to use any of these, for audition purposes only, on the condition that you come back and leave a comment on that particular monologue, letting everyone know how your audition went. (Or, if you feel more obliged, feel free to buy me a coffee or a book by using the donate button in the footer of the brevityTV web site.)
If you need to use my name as part of your audition, find it by following the LinkedIn button in the upper right. My name rhymes with “Baron Ready.” Give the monologue whatever title you desire.
You may cut sentences from a monologue. You do NOT have my permission, however to make other rewrites or changes.
If you want me to write you a monologue…
I have received scads of requests to customize a piece for readers. I’d be happy to give it a shot. If requesting, here are some tips:
- Be specific. Don’t ask me for “something funny.” The more you can tell me about what you want, or about what aspects of your performance style you want to accentuate, the better I’ll help you out.
- Be patient. Unless you’re coming at me with cash, don’t ask me to create something for you on a day’s notice. I have a life. A demanding one, in fact. I plan to put up one a month, and there could be quite a few people ahead of you in line.
- Pay? Folks offered, so I guess I’ll experiment. Let’s say I’ll bump your request to the front of the stack for $50; I’ll turn it around in less than a week (pending availability) for $75; and I’ll make you a personalized, not-posted-anywhere-for-anyone, revised-until-you’re-happy monologue for $150, with (pending availability) a 48-hour turnaround.
- Flirt? Couldn’t hurt…
