Eddie shared his top tips for performing a monologue
You can read them on the Mousetrap website here
Summary:
- ...record yourself the very first time you read the monologue
- Learn it. Learn it. Learn it.
- 'Ask the question, expecting an answer...'
- ...go for something shorter so you can work on it more intensively
- ...find a piece of writing you can fall in love with
1st: Nansi Love - One For Sorrow
Eddie said: "Of all the performers, Nansi seemed to understand the very
specific skill of doing a monologue to camera in which we as an audience
can see every thought, every breath, every blink. Her speed of thought
was particularly impressive, with ideas tumbling one on top of the other.
She also managed to find such colour, dynamism and humour in her
despair. It was very impressive and moving."
2nd: Toby Ellis - Private Peaceful
"I thought Toby brought such clarity to the storytelling of his piece
from Private Peaceful. There was a simplicity and a stillness to the
delivery that allowed the words to carry the weight of the emotion
but belied the fervour behind his eyes."
3rd: Genevieve Labuschagne - BU21
"I loved how Genevieve embraced the absurdity and impossibility
of the situation and managed to gear change from the brilliant
humour to the darkness of scenario. I will not forget the delivery
of the line 'I run out of things to say after 12 seconds' in a hurry"

Update: The Monologue Slam winners announced. I shared Eddie's comments and the links, where you can watch the winning performances. Unfortunately the article with Eddie's tips is no longer available on the site. If I had known it would only be up until the end of the competition, I would have shared the full text for archiving.
ReplyDeleteThanks to the Mousetrap admin, who kindly put the tips back on the site again. I fixed the link, so you can find and read them.
