monologue is no different from dialogue in its sharp focus on the relationships between and among human beings.
monologue provides script writers with the ideal laboratory in which to explore the interplay between character, conflict and story.
unforgettable story always begins with a character in profound conflict.
revisiting monologue every year or so will do wonders for the psychological underpinnings driving all your full-length scripts forward
Show us a character who immediately fascinates us, convince us of the urgency of the situation and do it all with little more than one actor speaking.
When you master the art of monologue, your audience forgets they’re watching a play. All they care about is the character you’ve created and what they’re desperately chasing.
Monologue is by far the most portable, adaptable and accessible form of theatre.
Pandemic Pause showed us this again and again as even the Zoom box was unable to rob monologue of its power.
Monologue offers today’s independent scriptwriters a clear, low-cost and manageable pathway to expanded audience for your work.
The audience that’s forgotten they’re watching a play is an audience hungry for more.
More of what you’re offering.
Roland Tec takes you through the essential elements found in the best monologues.
The strongest monologues take the audience’s focus off the story being told and puts it squarely on the person who’s talking.
Excerpt from the Write One page at HearMeOutMonologues.com
“Roland Tec has done a remarkable thing with his Hear Me Out Monologue series: he has brought back the audience! With a simple solution, he bridges the divide between performer and audience by creating an intimate aural connection between both sides of the monologue. Being able to hear the audience respond is vital to the performance experience, but now it is even amped up to an intimate level, wherein the subtle intake of breath or a rueful chuckle registers among the active sea of audience response. The sharing of sound makes all the difference in the world.”
Some of the writers of Hear Me Out speak to the power of monologue and the mission of Hear Me Out Monologues.
“Roland Tec’s online playwriting course advanced my new script, and brought me into contact with a number of great peers all across the U.S. The bi-weekly gathering sessions on Zoom were at once informative, intense, and filled with plenty of laughter.”
“I don’t think I would have ever pushed through the way that I needed to and wanted to if I hadn’t met Roland, if he hadn’t been as excited and interested in what I was doing in my work and hadn’t helped me to find that excitement again in myself. That’s what he continues to do for me and has in the years since.”
