DRAMATIC MONOLOGUE
-
ADVICE
Create a flawed character: someone who is insecure, socially awkward, irrationally hot-headed, or extreme in some way.
Imagine putting that character in a tense situation, such as a confrontation, a break-up, a confession of some sort or any other heightened, pressurized moment.
Become the character. Tape record yourself or take notes as you begin to try and get yourself out of a precarious situation.
Be sure to vary the moods or tactics-don't be one-note, such as angry the whole time. Let your character be manipulative or unpredictable with his or her reactions and emotions.
Imagine something unexpected happening in the middle of the character's monologue-something that is out of the character's control and changes the direction of the monologue.
Find a style model (from literature/media) and reword it, or write the same story from a different perspective.
