Monologues
for Young Adults: 60 Original Monologues to Stand Out, Inspire, and Shine by Mike
Kimmel features stunning monologues for actors already experienced in the craft
and burgeoning talent. In explaining the reason for writing this powerful book,
the author states that it is important for actors to show up for their
auditions carrying a sense of enthusiasm, hope, and optimism with them. This
book is for actors who want to present themselves as those who understand human
nature, and the author provides wonderful observations and advice; helping
readers understand what stands in the way of many actors — fear of failure or
fear of success, getting into character, and more. Here is a book that examines
stage psychology, providing actors the tools they need to connect intimately
with the best in them while adapting to the demands of the profession.
Kimmel writes like a professional coach, demonstrating an
uncanny mastery of the emotions, states of mind, and the internal dialogues
that take place in the inner worlds of would-be actors as well as seasoned
professionals in the industry. The monologues in this book address specific
fears, mental dispositions, moods, and limiting behaviors that can disrupt an
actor's auditioning journey. The writing is crisp and littered with practical
examples. There are observant passages that will resonate powerfully with
readers. For instance, here is a trait the author highlights that can affect an
actor's journey negatively: “Besides
talking too fast, many actors, unfortunately, talk too much. They talk too
much. They talk too fast. They talk too loud. They talk at the wrong time.”
From beating traumas from one's past, putting distractions into perspective,
moving forward in spite of the jitters, to building self-confidence and
embracing success on the stage, these monologues are precious gems with a piece
that will fit any actor. Mike Kimmel has the extraordinary ability to communicate
with clarity and keep readers fully engaged while offering valuable advice.
