In professional and student theater alike, a good monlogue can often mean the difference between a "Thank you . . . Next!" and a call-back. But sometimes it's hard for an aspiring actor to find the absolutely right audition piece that suits his or her personal style, type or age group.

Monologues For Young Actors is a unique and invaluable collection of dramatic speeches from some of the world's greatest plays -- chosen specifically for actors in their teens and early twenties.

Whether you're looking for something comedic or tragic, contemporary or classic, unorthodox or naturalistic, this superb compilation has the monologue you need -- an indispensible tool to help you hone you craft . . . and land that role.

It is ok	Customer Rating:
I borrowed this book from a friend it was OK but it didn't have a lot of monologues that a 15-year old could use.

a good book for young actors

Customer Rating:

I first picked up this book at camp. I was looking for something to preform in the talent show that could doble as an audition peice. As young looking 15 yearold I offten find it very hard to find monolouges that fit my age group. After years of looking I found it. My dream monolouge. It was in this book. While yes, this book does have some monolouges for older children it also has some mature youger ones aswell. (Nothing below the age of a mature 12 year old) However, most of the monolouges have a seious side to them. They are not to be taken as funny monolouges that will amuse people but a serious peices taken from serious plays. If you are looking for a monolouge that will chalenge you this book is for you. if not then look elsewhare.

an ok source for monologes	Customer Rating:
I feel that this book is and inadequate source for monologes because it doesnt have enough monologes. I feel that it could have been better if it was more pages. I also feel that the authors could have expanded their types of monologes better.

Um... i think i'll return this one	Customer Rating:
i bought this book with little experience with monolouges but after buying a few other books this one doesnt even help me. the monologues cant be acted truly because you really dont know what they mean. they're not significant and i wouldn't use any of them for an audition.

Not that bad!

Customer Rating:

Although this book may have rebelious, underminiing and dis-respectful monolouges, what you have to relize is that it's theatre, and theatre means acting. The monolouge She Hit Me First shows a truth about siblings, and I honestly think that as young actors, kids should be exposed to this kind of theatre. My High School theatre teacher owns this book, and I bought it to help me, and it has. I now do a great deal of theatre outside of school, and I use this book for audition material.
