Frequently asked questions
What are good monologues for men that aren't overdone?
The Overdone filter on ActorRise flags pieces that casting directors see constantly. Search for what you need, toggle the filter, and you'll get fresh material that still fits the tone of your audition.
Should I do a comedic or dramatic monologue?
Match the tone of the project. If the audition doesn't specify, go with whichever shows your range better. Some actors keep one of each ready. You can search for both and save them to your library.
Can I practice my monologue with AI?
Yes. ActorRise's rehearsal tool lets you run through scenes and monologues with AI reading the other parts. No need to find a scene partner.
