a funny monologue

Answer 2

A monologue is a speech one actor delivers. It can be to other characters, but it's usually about a page of just one character speaking.  

There are three basic kinds of monologues you'll need for auditions: comedic, serious and classical.

A comedic monologue is funny, a serious monologue is dramatic (not necessarily crying, can be angry or thoughtful), and classical is usually from Shakespeare, Moliere, Shaw or the Greeks.

As a rule they'll want between one and two minutes' worth, but can stop you at any point, depending on how far behind they are in their auditioning schedule.

If you email me your age, gender, country of residence and what you're auditioning for, I'll send you some recommendations.

Answer 3

More or less what others have told it is true that a comedic  monologue is when we have to deliver a long single part as alone or to some one else. For being comedic it has got to be funny.

well I have done a long time back in our dramatic classes such a solliloquey and subsequently since it was found extremely hilarious to the whole school.

It is a passage from A. I I , Sc. V from The Twelfth Night by William Sakespeare. I have just copied from Google the passage below from the webbie - 'Shakespeare - the Twlfth Night. '

Please read the comedy first, and understand what is being said, esp. Sc. V.

I am giving the whole text of the passage here-below, -

MALVOLIO

M, O, A, I; this simulation is not as the former: and

yet, to crush this a little, it would bow to me, for

every one of these letters are in my name. Soft!

here follows prose.

Reads

'If this fall into thy hand, revolve. In my stars I

am above thee; but be not afraid of greatness: some

are born great, some achieve greatness, and some

have greatness thrust upon 'em. Thy Fates open

their hands; let thy blood and spirit embrace them;

and, to inure thyself to what thou art like to be,

cast thy humble slough and appear fresh. Be

opposite with a kinsman, surly with servants; let

thy tongue tang arguments of state; put thyself into

the trick of singularity: she thus advises thee

that sighs for thee. Remember who commended thy

yellow stockings, and wished to see thee ever

cross-gartered: I say, remember. Go to, thou art

made, if thou desirest to be so; if not, let me see

thee a steward still, the fellow of servants, and

not worthy to touch Fortune's fingers. Farewell.

She that would alter services with thee,

THE FORTUNATE-UNHAPPY.'

Daylight and champaign discovers not more: this is

open. I will be proud, I will read politic authors,

I will baffle Sir Toby, I will wash off gross

acquaintance, I will be point-devise the very man.

I do not now fool myself, to let imagination jade

me; for every reason excites to this, that my lady

loves me. She did commend my yellow stockings of

late, she did praise my leg being cross-gartered;

and in this she manifests herself to my love, and

with a kind of injunction drives me to these habits

of her liking. I thank my stars I am happy. I will

be strange, stout, in yellow stockings, and

cross-gartered, even with the swiftness of putting

on. Jove and my stars be praised! Here is yet a

postscript.

Reads

'Thou canst not choose but know who I am. If thou

entertainest my love, let it appear in thy smiling;

thy smiles become thee well; therefore in my

presence still smile, dear my sweet, I prithee.'

Jove, I thank thee: I will smile; I will do

everything that thou wilt have me.

Answer 4

A monologue is a speech delivered by one actor.  It can be addressed directly to the audience, or to another character.  (At your audition, you'll be alone on stage, so you'll have to imagine the other character you're speaking to.)  A comedic monologue is just what it sounds like, a speech that's funny in some way.

Answer 5

A monologue is an extended, uninterrupted speech by a single person. The person may be speaking his or her thoughts aloud or directly addressing other persons, e.g. an audience, a character, or a reader.

As a literary device, it is most common in dramatic genres (plays, opera, animated cartoons, film) but can also be found in prose fiction. The term can also be applied to poems, which usually take the form of the thoughts or speech of a single individual. In everyday usage, a long, rather boring speech by a conversation partner is sometimes called a monologue as well.

The term 'dramatic monologue' is used both for monologues in plays and for a poetic genre.

thats what a Monologue is,and comedic means funny so pretty much  Comedic Monologue means kinda like a little play thtas funny...but not so long and only made by YOU...no help.should'nt be hard,but you have to be careful on what you do because thats what they judge you on to make sure your ready for acting or not be sure to take note of that.
