Thank you for providing the strength I needed to complete my second book. To my mommy and daddy, Louis and Ardith Robins-Webb, you guys are the greatest. To my siblings, Michael, Smyrna, Simeon, and Tina, you guys are the best group of sisters and brothers anyone could hope for. To my nephews and niece, Elisha, Alonzo, Tiwan, and Nadia, Tee-Tee Ada loves you all dearly. 4 5 GREETINGS I’d like to take the time to thank you for selecting this monologue book. Out of all the acting guides written today for the youth, thank you for observing its uniqueness. Fellow supporters, who purchased the first volume, The Everyday Living of Children and Teens Monologues, are very aware of why I wrote it. As an acting coach, I knew there was a need for a kid’s guide that provided “Real Life Acts”. I also knew that a youth centered acting guide was necessary. More importantly, one was needed that addressed juvenile issues from a realistic standpoint. From the actual scenes, to the directives indicating what body movements to make, both guides were wrote and solely designed with the total child and teenager in mind. Why did you write a Volume II? At the reader’s request, the second monologue guide was created. Structured the same way as the first book, this second book is simply a collection of my most recent encounters and contacts I’ve had with students attending school. In-fact, readers will come to find after completing Volume II that the issues that kids face today seem to keep increasing. How to use this book? This book is to be utilized the same way as the first volume. Either in front of a mirror, friend, or family member, recite the lines daily for a minimum of 20 minutes per day. For even better results students should tape themselves performing the monologues for self –critiquing proposes. Remember not to overwhelm yourself. Start off trying to retain one to two acts per week and increase your scenes as you begin to feel confident. Once retained, any of the 52 acts may be utilized for auditioning opportunities such as plays, commercials, and yes even television. It is a must that you incorporate all directives or body movements placed within the parenthesis. 6 The Three P’s are a Must. To my young people desiring to become professional actors, I can not overemphasize the importance of the Three P’s. Participation, Preparation, and Performance are a must when striving to reach your goals. As you practice the acts, remember to have great time in the process. 7 TABLE OF CONTENTS SPECIFICALLY FOR YOUNG LADIES The Same Old Clothes ................................................. 12-13 Lonely Girl.........................................................................14 Not Motivated .............................................................. 15-16 Good Health Is Priceless.............................................. 17-18 Worthy ......................................................................... 19-20 Exhausted..................................................................... 21-22 State Of Shock ............................................................. 23-24 Book Club .................................................................... 25-26 Different....................................................................... 27-28 Embarrassment............................................................. 29-30 Suicide.......................................................................... 31-32 Intelligent Enough........................................................ 33-34 SPECIFICALLY FOR YOUNG MEN Getting To Know Him ................................................. 36-37 A Difference................................................................. 38-39 8 The Choices Are ................................................................40 No Reason at All................................................................41 A Better World Without Them ..........................................42 My Future..................................................................... 43-44 My Hero ....................................................................... 45-46 Betrayal ........................................................................ 47-48 Stepping Up to The Plate ............................................. 49-50 Thankful....................................................................... 51-52 Bothersome .................................................................. 53-54 Quality Time ............................................................... 55-56 MONOLOGUES FOR YOUNG LADIES AND GENTLEMEN Disappointment ............................................................ 58-59 A Change ...........................................................................60 Tardiness ...................................................................... 61-22 Lack of Control ............................................................ 63-64 Revenge Is Not Always a Good Thing ........................ 65-66 Bad Note ..................................................................... 67-68 It Use To Be Me........................................................... 69-70 9 Taken Away From Me ................................................. 71-72 No Talking Back .......................................................... 73-74 Practice Makes Perfect................................................. 75-76 Mind Your Own Business............................................ 77-78 Annoying...................................................................... 79-80 Duplicates .................................................................... 81-82 Suspended .................................................................... 83-84 Surprise ........................................................................ 85-86 Broken Desk................................................................. 87-88 The Phone Call............................................................. 89-90 Test Scores ................................................................... 91-92 Misery Loves Company............................................... 94-95 The Progress Report..................................................... 95-96 Leadership Starts With Me .......................................... 97-98 Believe In Yourself .................................................... 99-100 It’s Not the Size That Matters.................................. 101-102 Sharing ..................................................................... 103-104 Privileges.................................................................. 105-106 10 Requirements ........................................................... 107-108 I Assumed ................................................................ 109-110 Kindness Never Hurts .............................................. 111-113
