some people asked me to give monologue tips.. so, here we go.

when performing a monologue, you have to throw yourself into the character full on, head first. everything about you has to emulate this person - your thoughts, your body language, your dialect, EVERYTHING. before you perform it, make sure you really understand the monologue. what are you talking about? what does it mean to you? who are you talking to? what do you feel as you say it? what do you think? what do you see? what do you wish? what do you want the other person to think/say/do about it? all of this pours into what your intentions are, what your emotions are, what your objective is, and what your hidden layers are*. you have to speak to the audience as if they are that one person or group of people you're talking to, not an audience. try to not be aware of the fact that there is an audience, because your character isn't performing, they're just living.

*hidden layers - the emotions and thoughts that are HIDDEN from the audience. there is the outer layer, where we see everything the character thinks and feels, and then there is the layer underneath, where thoughts and feelings are hidden from the audience and everyone else.

that is all. but before i go, a little note to you-know-who:

thanks for that. thanks for everything you did to me. thanks for treating me horribly and making me the happiest girl in the world one second and then in the lowest place the next. thanks for leaving me hanging. thanks for leading me on. thanks for walking away from the beautiful dream we could have been. thanks for never caring. thanks for deleting me from your mind and your wall. thanks for giving me lovely, depressing song material. thanks for making me look a fool. thanks for making me a fool.
