I had less than a week and a half to find a monolog and was having no luck till i picked this up in the school library. Wow! what a great book! i found the trouble was to pick one! this is an incredible book and i recomend it to anyone. please note that thesemonologs are from plays, so if thats what the director wanted then this is a great book to pick from. I was hooked by the first 5!

This book was very helpful. It has interesting monologues dealing with realistic problems. It helped me alot with my audition. i recomend it for young actors looking for a monolog.

This book is useful for Hollywood actors but for those in the theater industry, its a toughy due to the fact that casting directors or collegiate judges want monologues from established plays and most of the monologues come from Shakespearean events, which is basically events where playwrights hope to get there name out.... basically, the plays aren't established. So if you audition for local theater or indie stuff, hollywood area productions.... great, but for NYC auditions, stick with something else,

This book did not help me at all. I am a young teen actress and I did not find any good monologues. A lot of them were for older actresses and actors and were really religous, talked about sex, or were just really disturbing or boring. Even though it says student, it is more for adults. I really want to return this book. It was a waste of my parents money. If I could, I would give it no stars. The beginning does give some helpful information about monolgues, but it gets really boring to read. DONT make the same mistake I made. The other reviews said it was really good, but trust me, it's not.

This is a good book I hope to see more of it in the future
