It’s about a minute and a half long, on the shorter side, and packed full of opportunities for anger and frustration. This monologue is the snapping point of someone who speaks softly. Though it tends to be a generally quieter one, there is much room for emotion, so if what you’re trying to show off is your control, this monologue makes for an excellent choice. A woman talks about falling in love and the bitterness that comes after it fails. This one is jaded and a little on the longer side at about two and a half minutes.

The character’s feelings about what she’s saying from the words themselves could do with more prominence. There’s a lot of room to read this one the way you want to, with different shades of ways the dialogue can be delivered. “I Haven’t a Real Passport” The Cherry Orchard If you’re looking for something that will make the audience laugh while still being able to flex your acting range, you could do far worse than this one. The word choice is just so perfect for the sheer amount of exasperation the speaker must feel, ending with the perfect punch line. If you’re looking for something angry and comical, this is an excellent choice. “Well, Tommy Proposed to Me Again” An Ideal Husband The run time is about a minute and a half, as it has been for most of these, but it’s suitable for building vitriol into your delivery without becoming crass.Ħ. But, again, it’s another good monologue for adult women when you just want to vent. “What Could You Possibly Have to Tell Me?” Ivanov It’s whimsical and manages to be a bit sad at the same time. It might be a good choice if you’re looking for something subtle with a run time of about a minute and a half. Rose is an eccentric character, and this monologue is very wistful and serious.

It seems like “The Glass Menagerie” is one of those plays everyone learns about in high school, and there’s a good reason for that. “No, Mom, Please! I Have to Say This” The Glass Menagerie Depending on your delivery, it runs for about a minute and a half to two minutes.

So if you want to express the soul of young, foolish love and you’re looking for a classical monologue, this one is an excellent choice. You know there can’t be a list of monologues without The Bard coming up at some point. “Thou Knowest the Mask of Night” Romeo and Juliet It is also an excellent choice if you need something contemporary rather than classical that still has much power. If you’re looking for something surreal and emotional, this one takes around two to three minutes and showcases wonder and sorrow. “I Was Slipping Away” The Lovely BonesĪ strangely beautiful piece considering the subject matter: a young woman talks about her experience dying and what lies in the afterlife.
