Reality Driven: 101 Bite Size Monologues/Audition Pieces For Men And Women,Used

Product DescriptionReality Driven is a compendium of fascinating real life based monologues. This book fits right into the publics hunger for realitybased programming. It is because of the actors' demand for new, original, and exciting material that this book has been written. Each monologue is accompanied by a unique and accurate character description. Every monologue is written out twice, once with grammar and once without. Because most people do not speak in grammatically correct sentences, these monologues give the actor the opportunity to create each piece in their own manner without interference. Each individual monologue contains suggestions, to the actor, yet allows the freedom for individual direction. Female characters can be read by men, and vise versa. Books always say you need the author's permission to change a word, so I'm giving you my permission now. Some of these monologues are not pretty, they're in your face and nonapologetic, but then so is life.About the AuthorGavin Levy is an instructor at the American National Academy in Studio City.
