3.0 out of 5 stars GOOD BOOK, IF YOUR MALE, December 6, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: 50 Great Monologs for Student Actors: A Workbook of Comedy Characterizations for Students (Paperback)

Though the book does have many interesting monologs for students, they are mainly for males. If you are female, I would suggest you look elsewhere for good material. Almost 3/4 of this book was for male actors.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not for Females, July 6, 2002

This review is from: 50 Great Monologs for Student Actors: A Workbook of Comedy Characterizations for Students (Paperback)

I bought this book thinking that I could use these pieces in auditions, but because most of them are for males, they don't work for me. A couple are decently funny, but I found it strange that in a few of them, they listed things. For instance, dates... It's very hard to pull an audition piece of any comedic measure from a list of things you are supposed to say. So, I definetely would not reccomend this book.

I thought that the monologues were both genuine and interesting, it captivated my audience and I could have gone on for hours, thanks.
