Step One

Monologue is an extended speech by one person. You need to learn the fundamentals of acting and that begins with the internals: subtext, feelings, honesty. With monologue study, you learn the basics of having an objective, conflict, given circumstances and transitions. Don’t start with Shakespeare or a scene class. Learn the basics of acting through character work. If you’re deciding between a class and private study, choose a class. You’ll learn more watching others and listening to the direction given to each in the class.
