Book Description

July 6, 2006
The Every Day Living Of Children & Teens Monologues is a collection of 51 actual events that have taken place in the lives of children and teenagers. Broken down into three sections: Specifically for Young Ladies; Specifically for Young Gentlemen; and Specifically for Young Males and Females, each one was designed to assist young aspiring actors and actresses with perfecting "Character Development." Every situation is true and is told from a young person's point of view. The obstacle of "Tapping into a Characters Emotions" will become a thing of the past. Children and teens desiring to become professional performers will not only grasp the "Art of Acting," they will love it in the process.

Understanding that youngsters require more guidance and direction when attempting to grasp the total "Concept of Acting." This book not only contains exciting monologues, it also contains directives enclosed in parenthesis. The purpose of having directives is to ensure that the appropriate gestures and body movements are implemented in a correct timely fashion. From knowing exactly when to take a deep breath or where to place your hands, the directives are resourceful and should be immolated at all times when reciting the monologues.

1.0 out of 5 stars Terrible grammar and word choice!, December 5, 2010
By 
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Every Day Living Of Children & Teens Monologues (Paperback)
I run an after-school theater program for middle school students, and I ordered this book because the other monologue books I had didn't seem relevant or age-appropriate for the children. I was seriously displeased when it arrived, though; the monologues are too badly written to be usable, even for my middle schoolers. People don't choose words they way these monologues are written. They're badly scripted and terribly edited; I struggled to find even a couple that didn't contain grammatical or spelling errors.

1.0 out of 5 stars Terrible Wording/Voice, November 15, 2011
This review is from: The Every Day Living Of Children & Teens Monologues (Paperback)
Do not purchase this. Every monologue, though "real-life" situation, is worded as an adult would say it. This is someone who is entirely out of touch with today's teens/children. The wording sounds so stiff and unrealistic. "Man! I'm so irresponsible. My own mom can't even depend on me. I'm just so stupid." Kids don't talk like this. "I don't have a single friend in the entire world. Whenever I try to initiate a conversation I'm instantly ignored by the other students." These monologues may be relevant for adults in the counseling field, but for acting/drama purposes, this is unusable and a waste of money.

4.0 out of 5 stars Monologues that Relate to the Times!, May 4, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Every Day Living Of Children & Teens Monologues (Paperback)
I was very impressed, and elated that Arda Young had written monologues that express the hearts/minds of teens everywhere. This book is easy to read, no foul language to where even pre-teens can read it and learn. Not many books are written for the appropriate ages, but Ms. Young as a tremendous gift, great love, and commitment to writing books that teens can relate to, and enjoy.

Lastly, I love this book because of my love for the Arts, as well as Literature. These monologues will help in aiding young inspiring actors/actresses with memorization, stage directions, emotion/expressions, and much more!

Congratulation, Adra on a job well done!!
