Hello; actors! As a professional actor for fourteen years now; I know how hard the search for the perfect monologue can be. A monologue should be immediate; active; and fun. You shouldnt mind having to say it over and over when youre practicing; auditioning; or performing it. You should be able to relate to it. This is difficult; most plays are written for adults. Where are you supposed to get monologues from then? This book. Here are some tips on appraoching monologues: 1. Pick the monologue that hits you. Trust your instincts. Youll pick the right one. 2. Make the monologues active. What do you want and how do you try to get it? 3. Who are you talking to and where are they? Make sure you make this as clear as possible. 4. Do you get answered or interrupted? Be sure to fill in words in yoru head for the monolouge; even if its a simple yes or no. 5. How do you feel about the person or people you are talking to? For example; you speak a lot differently to your best friend than you do to your math teacher. 6. Notes about stage directions and terminology: The word beat or the start of a new paragraph indicates another character speaks or a new idea arises. Pause or other stage directions like shocked are suggestions; but do not need to be observed absolutely.

Places and Spaces or Changes in Attitude Across LatitudeBy grasshopper4This book works very well as an introduction to vernacular architecture. It does; indeed; offer a leisurely stroll through the scholarship on vernacular architecture by demonstrating ways to read buildings in relation to American history. The approach works very well as a way to train ones eye to look at buildings; and the focus provides good ways to connect the various elements of design to wider issues about social history and cultural change -- and continuity. Its also a beautiful book to read. I especially like the way that the photographs are integrated into the text. This type of layout takes a great deal of planning; and the illustrations really support and embellish the writing. There are numerous comparisons to show how American buildings are related to various styles in England; Ireland; Turkey; Bangladesh; and various and sundry places around the world. These comparisions are designed more to illuminate an understanding of American architectural forms and to show origins of various styles rather than to provide an in-depth understanding of global history. The overall method; however; can be applied to learning about buildings in any-place.
