Question: EASY POINTS! HELP ME WITH A MONOLOGUE!!?
"One Way Street" (Teen Monologue, Female)*bewildered*


Janice has just called Cheryl with another problem!. She is more of a talker than a listener, and as always has something to complain about!. Cheryl on the other hand, has an active life, full of meaningful relationships and always busy!. Somehow I get the feeling that Janice needs Cheryl, more than the other way around!.


Janice: (On the Phone) Hey, girl! Sorry I haven't called you back!. My Mom's throwing a fit again!. Two weeks ago, it was because I snuck out at night to go to a party out on the beach, last week because I skipped school to go to the mall, and now today because she found that pack of cigarettes I had hidden in my underwear drawer!.!.!.she shouldn't be in my room anyways!. (Beat) Oh, yeah, tell me about it! Thank goodness I have you to talk too; otherwise I'd surely lose my mind!. It's not easy being understood nowadays!. (Beat) I'm O!.K!. I guess!. It's more annoying than anything else!. I just feel like curling-up and falling asleep when this happens!. You think everything will be O!.K!.!? Really!.!.!.thanks girl!. I appreciate your encouragement!. You're always there for me!.!.!.you're the best friend a girl could ever have!.!.!.you make me feel so!.!.!.Hello!? Hello!? (To the Audience) Why, that little tramp hung-up on me again!
1!. What is a monologue!?
2!. What does bewildered mean!?
3!. How do I act bewildered!?
4!. What is the beat!? What about the beat!? How am I suppose to act that!?
5!. Any tips that you can help me with the monologue on memorizing and acting it out!.

1!. Monologue is sort of a long speech spoken by one person!. The person is usually alone on stage and is the only one speaking at that time!.

2!. Bewildered means confused or disoriented!.

3!. You could imagine a situation where you would be very confused and look in the mirror to see what kind of expression you have on your face!? maybe like frowning a little, but not in the angry frowning way!.

4!. I'm not so sure about the beat but I guess that it's a pause!. Because the girl is on the phone with her friend, but the audience can't hear what her friend is saying!. So the beat is a pause during which her friend is speaking i think!.

5!. Maybe you can try taking it one sentence at a time, and just repeating that sentence over and over again!. Once you've got it, do the next sentence and then repeat the two sentences over and over!. And just continue!. You can try acting in front of your friends or your drama coach for advice!.

A monologue is a drama sketch performed by one person and it's kinda like a stand up comic but with acting!. Bewildered means to be confused!. You can act bewildered by wondering what bewildered means, just be confused!. Have no idea what that beat was!. To memorize just go through Your lines over and over saying each sentence aloud!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
