Hi! This is Clara! Clara always wanted to perform, but she didn't know how.

She would go to the park and try to act out monologues by herself, but it never felt right to her.

Until one day at school, Clara's teacher showed her a book that changed her life.

You should look at this book I have. It lists the top 10 rules to follow when performing a monologue.

Wow, thank you!

And the book went like this...

Rule 1: Memorize your monologue and know it inside and out.

Tip: If when you're performing, you forget part of your monologue, just keep going! Don't stop!

Script:

Memorize

Me!

Rule 2: Dress professionally.

Tip: If you're auditioning for a certain role, you might dress like that character.

Rule 3: Always face the audience when you're performing.

The audience wants to see all of your facial expressions so make sure they can see you!

Rule 4: Find one point in the audience to focus on while you're performing.

Tip: Choose a fixed point in the room rather than a person or moving thing.

My point^

Rule 5: Before you begin performing your monologue, slate yourself.

This means introduce yourself and the piece you will be performing.

Example: "Hi, my name is Brooklyn Couch and I will be portraying Helena from "A Midsummer Night's Dream"
