Frequently asked questions
What makes a good dramatic monologue for an audition?
A good dramatic monologue has clear stakes, a shift in emotion, and something for you to play. Avoid pieces that are just sad from start to finish. Look for a monologue where the character wants something and is actively trying to get it.
How do I find a dramatic monologue that isn't overdone?
ActorRise has an Overdone filter that flags monologues casting directors see constantly. Search for what you need, then toggle the filter to surface fresh material that still fits the tone.
