	Monologue - LoveToKnow 1911
		The theory of the monologue is that the audience overhears the thoughts of one who believes himself to be alone, and who thus informs them of what would otherwise be unknown to them.
		There is something of a lyrical character about the monologue in verse; and this has been felt by some of the classic poets of France so strongly, that many of the examples in the tragedies of Corneille are nothing more or less than odes or cantatas.
		The monologues of Shakespeare, and those of Hamlet in particular, have a far more dramatic character, and are, indeed, essential to the development of the play.

	Monologue - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Monologue is a common feature of opera when an aria, recitative or other sung section may carry out a function similar to that of spoken monologues in the theatre.
		The dramatic monologue is a poetic form not to be confused with the monologue in drama.
		The term "monologue" is also applied to a form of popular narrative verse, sometimes comic, often dramatic or sentimental, that was performed in music halls or in domestic entertainments in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century.

	Literary Encyclopedia: Interior Monologue (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The inner speech is presented in the first person and in the present tense and employs deictic words (.here.,.now.,.this., and so on) as a way of signalling to the reader that the passage should be interpreted as presenting the character.s own present orientation and location, and not that of a narrator.
		Interior monologue often also attempts to mimic the unstructured free flow of thought, presenting it as shifting abruptly among topics, jumping by association from one thing to another, and proceeding by incomplete sentences.
		In most cases, the interior monologue is to be found in the context of third-person narration and dialogue, and these frames provide the reader with additional information about the characters.

	Monologue Information
		Finding monologues like this are not always easy, but if you have a choice of playing a self pitying, whining loser or someone who has overcome some major trauma in their life, go for the latter.
		At its worst, a monologue is self-indulgent, wordy, and often full of whimpers about failures, and as shapeless as a dirty sock.
		If you find a great monologue in a book of monologues, find the play it is from and see if the same character has another monologue in the play.

	The Academy of American Poets - Poetic Technique: Dramatic Monologue
		Dramatic monologue in poetry, also known as a persona poem, shares many characteristics with a theatrical monologue: an audience is implied; there is no dialogue; and the poet speaks through an assumed voice--a character, a fictional identity, or a persona.
		Because a dramatic monologue is by definition one person’s speech, it is offered without overt analysis or commentary, placing emphasis on subjective qualities that are left to the audience to interpret.
		One powerful example of the interplay between a dramatic monologue and the perception of the audience is "Night, Death, Mississippi," by Robert Hayden.

	ActorPoint.com Finding Free Monologues
		Many actors go to their local bookstore and browse through the shelves trying to decide which monologue book to buy.
		Monologue books can be useful to familiarize yourself with various playwrights' writing style but the main issue with choosing a monologue from a book is that you're certainly not the only actor who'll be using that monologue to audition with.
		The most obvious and often over-looked place to find audition monologues is directly from the source from which they originally came -- plays.

		Yet her only “monologue” (after the nunnery scene – Oh what a noble mind o'er thrown) is just not effective out of context.
		Some of the topics involve staging, the speed and size of movement and gesture, writing a description of the monologue (not a synopsis, but what you want the audience to see), and analysing the monologue in terms of structre, story and suspense.
		The best practical tip in the section is the suggestion that actors should rehearse their monologue within a six by six foot square.

		The project has grown out of a long-entertained idea that Megan's internal struggles with the music in her dancing ought to be recorded and somehow demonstrated.
		This unceasing monologue includes the names of the steps and the desperate attempts at counting them, but also the cerebral flotsam of worries about school, grocery lists, etc. These words and sounds have volume, texture, and urgency which often occlude the music she's supposed to be dancing to.
		We've realized that the monologue, by virtue of Megan's process of unfolding a piece, or maybe enfolding into it, is itself inherently musical.

	Rolling Stone : Two Way Monologue : Review
		His second album, Two Way Monologue, showcases those sweet melodies even more effectively than his debut, 2002's Faces Down.
		Recorded in his hometown of Bergen, Norway, its uncluttered arrangements assimilate decades of chamber pop, folk and even jazz.
		Even Lerche's emotive singing can't save the lyrical train wreck that is "Track You Down": "When tears are pretzels pouring down/ Each time the sweetness is returning/At times when you appreciate that you survived." Somebody needs to find this budding Burt Bacharach his own Hal David, or at least a better English teacher.
