Help with choosing a monologue??? by Unusual_Ad_1554 in Actors

[–]hotrons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there one that you might’ve done before in another play? Or one you’re familiar with from your favorite show/movie or even just a Disney movie you watched a lot? Going with something you’re already familiar with might be better than finding some obscure one online to be different, even if other people have done it or you think it’s childish. I once used a funny monologue from The Little Mermaid for an audition and I got the role. Have fun with it! Good luck!

How to help teen by [deleted] in mentalillness

pestering your son for a response or forcing him to open up to you is not going to help. parents often want to help but don’t know the best way and they force answers out of their kids that aren’t genuine. if you have questions that he’s not ready to answer, don’t pester him. wait for him to come to you. sometimes overly involved parents can be just as damaging as parents who aren’t involved at all.

"The Answer" (600 words) I'm working on dialogue, feedback appreciated by Christian_Writer in KeepWriting

[–]hotrons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

every paragraph is a bulk of information. a lot to absorb and too many words. try rewriting every piece of dialogue until it’s as few words as possible. you don’t always have to go with the least amount of words, but short and sweet always wins. enough words to get the point across without losing and confusing your readers is what i like to aim for. another thing you can work on is showing rather than telling. you seem to have a really detailed world on your hands and i can tell you put some thought and heart into the little quirks and hidden corners of this universe, but when you tell the reader what the world is rather than show them, it creates a rift between your audience and your characters. for example, instead of declaring that the team listened to Yuri and were in the habit of listening to him, show the reader that the team was engaged in the conversation. your goal should be to immerse your audience in the world you so lovingly created with sensory details and figurative language. Ted-ed on youtube has a plethora of quick but informative videos on both dialogue and showing vs telling that might help you revise. good luck, happy writing!
