      The Everyday Living of Children & Teens Monologues Volume II - Adra Young

      GREETINGS

      I’d like to take the time to thank you for selecting this monologue book. Out of all the acting guides written today for the youth, thank you for observing its uniqueness. Fellow supporters, who purchased the first volume, The Everyday Living of Children and Teens Monologues, are very aware of why I wrote it. As an acting coach, I knew there was a need for a kid’s guide that provided Real Life Acts. I also knew that a youth centered acting guide was necessary. More importantly, one was needed that addressed juvenile issues from a realistic standpoint. From the actual scenes, to the directives indicating what body movements to make, both guides were wrote and solely designed with the total child and teenager in mind.

      Why did you write a Volume II?

      At the reader’s request, the second monologue guide was created. Structured the same way as the first book, this second book is simply a collection of my most recent encounters and contacts I’ve had with students attending school. In-fact, readers will come to find after completing Volume II that the issues that kids face today seem to keep increasing.

      How to use this book?

      This book is to be utilized the same way as the first volume. Either in front of a mirror, friend, or family member, recite the lines daily for a minimum of 20 minutes per day. For even better results students should tape themselves performing the monologues for self –critiquing proposes. Remember not to overwhelm yourself. Start off trying to retain one to two acts per week and increase your scenes as you begin to feel confident. Once retained, any of the 52 acts may be utilized for auditioning opportunities such as plays, commercials, and yes even television. It is a must that you incorporate all directives or body movements placed within the parenthesis.

      The Three P’s are a Must.

      To my young people desiring to become professional actors, I can not overemphasize the importance of the Three P’s. Participation, Preparation, and Performance are a must when striving to reach your goals. As you practice the acts, remember to have great time in the process.

      MONOLOGUES SPECIFICALLY FOR YOUNG LADIES

      To all future, aspiring young actresses- this second collection of monologues demands the same discipline and efforts as the first. While reciting each act, I challenge you to tap into the characters emotions. Utilize all directives provided in the parenthesis to achieve the desired successes.

      The Same Old Clothes

      Synopsis: Kelly refuses to go to school because she is ashamed of the clothes she has to wear.

      Optional Props: A backpack, books, ragged sweater, shoes, jeans, etc.

      Delivery Time: 2 minutes

      After class today, my favorite teacher, Ms. Childs asked me to stay in my seat when the bell rang. I knew exactly what she wanted. I had missed a whole week of school. Now, I have never really been the type to skip class. Except for this one time when me an Amber didn’t want to take Mr. Landry’s chemistry test. (Quietly giggles and looks around to see if anyone heard. She then sighs and takes on a more serious tone.) Well anyway, Ms. Childs did what any concerned teacher would do, I guess. So when she asked me, I went on and told her the truth. I told her that my mother could not afford to wash our clothes last week ‘cause she didn’t have any money left after paying all the bills. Do you actually think that I would come to school wearing the same old dirty clothes? (Tugs on collar or sleeve of shirt) I’m in high school. Would you do it? (Points to audience) Just ask yourself that question! After I explained myself, the teacher seemed to feel sorry for me. She didn’t even lecture me or anything! She didn’t even say that she was going to call my mother! She gave me a pass this time. (Looking relieved) Now don’t go thinking that I don’t like school or that I am dumb. ‘Cause I do and I am not! I
