About this title

Synopsis

THE ACTING COACH APPROACH:48 MONOLOGUES FOR KIDS AND HOW TO MASTER THEM is the only book of it's kind. It not only contains original, active, funny and dramatic monologues, but it also assists the actor so they get the most for their efforts. Each monologue is accompanied by a series of questions. The questions are designed to trigger the actor's imagination and help the actor create clear images and create better characters. The questions also help the actor to memorize the piece because they are now memorizing images instead of words on a page. JON EMM has included a practice monologue and he answers all the questions that accompany it. Jon teaches actors how to find hints in the punctuation, grammar and directors notes as well. This book also has a bonus section called NAILING THE AUDITION. Actor LANA YOUNG presents a step-by-step approach, with many helpful hints, to succeed in any audition. This is an important book for actors at any level. It is great for teachers as well.
