Disney Monologues

Are you looking for Disney Monologues to perform?

A monologue is an acting scene for a single character. Usually actors commit one dramatic and one comedic monologue to memory that they can perform in a moments notice. They are memorized for the purpose of auditioning. The scene should be about one minute in length. Directors and casting agents can quickly make decisions, and minute of speech is all that is necessary.

Would you like the monologue for the genie when he makes his first appearance from the lamp in Disneys Aladdin? In the film, the character was voiced by Robin Williams. Or would you prefer the opening monologue of the street vendor in the same movie?

Are you looking for a more adult scene? Captain Barbossa has a terrific and haunting monologue as he explains the cursed state of his crew to Elizabeth Swan in Disneys Pirates of the Carribean Curse of the Black Pearl. Or the speech the Jack Sparrow delivers to Will Turner about what a man can do and what he can't do.

Disney Monologues for Actors

Why do actors need monologues? It common for actors to have one comedic monologue and one dramatic monologue committed to memory. The actor will then perform these monologues if asked for an audition, or any other reason he needs to demonstrate his acting skill.

Monologues are typically 60 seconds in length. Those evaluating an actors performance don't need more than 60 seconds to judge. Often they will stop you from going past 60 seconds.

You should choose pieces that you like and play to your strengths. For example, if you find it difficult to cry on queue, don't choose a dramatic piece that lends itself to crying. Instead, look for monologue with other emotions, anger, surprise, etc.

Finally, if you want to be a Disney Actor, using monologues from Disney movies makes sense. Disney characters are often very similar, so being able to portray one Disney character means you'll be able to perform others. Disney movies tend to be G rated, and therefore so are the characters. Reading a monologue for an R rated character won't translate well.

What to look for in a Monologue

The sole purpose of a monologue is to showcase your acting skills. If you don't have a monologue, or it doesn't show your best as an actor, think about getting a new one.

The first thing it demonstrates is that you are serious. Someone truly interested in acting has a comedic and a dramatic monologue committed to memory. You may no be asked to deliver it very often. But what if when you are, it is a test to see how prepared you are? A director wants an actoir who does his homework, knows the part and is prepared. Asking you for a monologue may be test to see how much work you are prepared to do.

Next, a monologue should play to your strengths. If you have the grave site monologue from Steel Magnolias, you better be able to cry each and every time you perform it. If you can't, it is not a good choice for you. Instead, what about the USS Indiana monologue from Jaws? There is no crying, but the tough as nails Quint character must relive the frightening and life altering experience of a mass shark attack. Or how about the I am God monologue from Malice? The Alec Baldwin character is conceited, superior and narcissistic.
