Then, everything about me was entered into a computer where they created a model of my mind. But even if they couldn’t take me all the way, like Marilyn, they would somehow believe in me just enough. They would see me for what I could be and think I was beautiful. Like a diamond in the rough. They would take me away to my new life and my new world, where everything would be different. Yeah.

With her son missing, Joyce Byers is terrified of what may have happened to him. When she receives a phone call from him, it’s not what she expects. This monologue is both dramatic and super scary!

Sadly, relating to being told ‘no’ isn’t too tough for us actors.” 6. “Tangled” (2010): Rapunzel and Mother Gothel

Here Ava is talking to the audience. She discusses issues with her parents in the face of her success and how her success has made her relationship with them more difficult. But, the underlying issue here is feeling underappreciated by her parents.” 4. “Agree to Disagree”: Harpa Well, I didn’t mean that in any kind of lascivious way, so I don’t know why you want to take it like that. I really like you. We’d laugh about how great our lives turned out and make plans for the things we were still going to do. There is no better character to portray in comedy than Regina George. In this short monologue, she tries to apologize to Cady for being so mean, but it doesn’t go over as intended in true Regina form. This monologue for actors is perfect for those in their late teens to early twenties. Chanade doesn’t feel like her life is worth living and she contemplate jumping off a cliff but her best friend shows up to help her.

Jesse has struggles at home which cause him to lash out at his girlfriend. In this monologue he seeks forgiveness from her. Until today. Today my eyes died. I see the world through my mother’s eyes now. Yes, freedom has fangs. And it sunk them in me. I see a man walking towards me from the bus stop. He can’t take his eyes off me.
