female monologues

 A monologue can be best described as a portion in a script or maybe a play where the actor or the actress has to deliver a speech that is long. The speech would be one that is uninterrupted by other characters in the scene or in the same story plot. It should also be appreciated that female monologues are idea to reveal the innermost emotions as well as the thoughts of the character that is being played so that others perceive that character with interest and apprehension.

If you are wondering how a monologue is different from a soliloquy, let’s touch upon that. Usually a soliloquy is a type of dramatic monologue that a single actor delivers but there is no one else onstage. So what we understand is that in a soliloquy, the character is perhaps addressing oneself or even talking to the audience in a direct manner than with the other characters who form the story plot. Let’s take a real life example of a monologue that is not female. Your wife asks you whether she looks fat in the new halter top that she is wearing. Secretly, you think its unbelievable you never noticed how fat she had become. But to her, you manage to say, “Of course not. You look fine in this top but the other grey dress enhances your slim look more than this one does. So I am not really happy with this choice.” The former, if spoken aloud, would be a soliloquy while the latter, if said aloud, would be a monologue.

An actor’s inner monologue reflects the train of thoughts as well as emotions that are going through your mind’s tracks so that you know that whatever you say should not hurt your wife’s feelings. At the same time, the way in which the outer monologue is delivered suggests that you want her not to wear that particular halter top because it doesn’t really flatter her figure as she expects it to.

Be it for male or female monologues, it is best to always practice in tune with the inner as well as the outer monologues before you simply verbalize the words that you are speaking. The golden tip is to be highly aware of those words that you aren’t saying in front of the audience so that they are aware of it too.
