She is in pain, paranoid, and full of hunger. Denise Savage is a virgin, "small, wild-haired, strong, belligerent, determined, dissatisfied, and scared.
Women: Savage in Limbo by John Patrick ShanleyĬontext: A bartender & four of his patrons, all 32, spend a Monday night at his Bronx bar. You could see everything.ĬhocolateDonut1 (monologue from a recent audition) That's what really got me, no underpants. You could see right through her dame blouse! Right clean through it! And she never wore underpants either. Then I told her she had to start wearing a bra and she paid no attention to that either. Made her feel like the character, she says. Every morning, kept putting them back on. I says, 'No more high heels! No more of them high spiky high heels to rehearsals! No more of that shit!' And she laughs. She's all innocent and I'm crazy! So I told her - I told her. Some imaginary deal I'd cooked up in my head. Then she tried to say it was all in my head. Tried to cast it off like it was nothing. And when I finally called her on it, she denied it flat. I knew she was getting herself ready for him, too. Like she was imagining somebody else touching her. I'd watch her oiling herself while I pretended to be asleep. You'da thought she was an ice cream sundae. Coconut or butterscotch or some goddamn thing. She was always oiling herself before she went out. Woman starts dressing more and more skimpy every time she goes out. I'm no dummy! Doesn't take much to put it together. Saw enough to know something was going on. JAKE: She was going to these goddamn rehearsals everyday. Here's the monologue in the context of the scene (starts on page 12). Let me know if you have any questions, and be sure to leave some feedback on the other submissions!Ĭontext: Jake has beaten his actress girlfriend so badly that he assumes she is dead, and he is telling his milder-mannered brother Frankie why. I just didn't feel like putting the thought into it :) Do your best to find a copy of the play and read the whole thing these are both well-known and should be available in any university library, if not a public library or bookstore (plays read fast-grab an empty aisle).ĮDIT: please, by all means make cuts to these if you feel like you don't want to learn the whole thing or want to cut it shorter so you can use it for auditions (these would probably run a bit long for that purpose).
Generally a frame of chest/mid-torso to top of head is best. Record yourself doing the monologue by slating your name/username to the camera at the beginning, then choosing a focus just off to one side of the lens and delivering your monologue. This will be up for at least a few weeks so there is no rush. Take your time to learn these, also so we can give you better feedback (rather than just "this will be better if you learn the lines"). Be sure to provide some context if you do the latter, to help us give you better feedback. You may choose to do these, or any of the previous monologues we've posted, or even one you're working on for yourself. Below are two monologues, one for men and one for women.
