Very entertaining and appropriate monologues for children
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
My son attends a prestigious drama school and they've used monologues from this book as teaching tools for their classes. I bought my son a copy, and even though he has no intention of being an actor (drama school is just for fun for him), he's felt comfortable enough to perform monologues at his school and always gets huge applause. The monologues "sound" like children's voices, they're age appropriate and entertaining. They make it easy for any child to succeed performing -- very confidence building.
*RAD!*

I'm 11 and I love Magnificent Monologues for Kids. I have used monologues out of this book to do commercial, film, and stage auditions. He writes like kids speak. Casting directors are always asking me "where did you get that monologue?". I have booked national commericals and films using Chambers monologues. Chambers ROCKS!
This book is a kid's ticket to success!

I've looked for a gold-mine like this for years. MAGNIFICENT MONOLOGUES provides kids a source book of incredibly unforgettable monologues that actually grow with them as they gain skill and maturity. It's a parent's dream! A drama teacher's fantasy come true! And best of all, it's fun and easy to use. The author really seems to know kids-how they talk, how they think through things. All the monologues are great. A wide range of emotions, too.My niece used one of these MAGNIFICENT MONOLOGUES and signed with a manager immediately! It really is kid friendly. There's a section for boys and one for girls. The bibliography is great too because it lists monologues as dramatic or comedic. There's even some for animals!The section on Need-to-Know Hollywood words and definitions is really helpful. And the straight talk about acting basics is right-on-the-money. I've been an actress for 20+ years and have seen and performed my share of monologues. So I know that the motivated child star will out-shine his or her competition when using any one of the monologues in this book. BUY IT!
Fantastic!!!

I recently came across MAGNIFICENT MONOLOGUES FOR KIDS when my daughter's agent got her an audition for the National Touring company of ANNIE. She was required to do a monologue so my husband and I bought a couple of Monologue books. Well MAGNIFICENT MONOLOGUES was by far the best. Our daughter liked so many of them she had a hard time making up her mind which one to audition with. Long Story short my daughter got a callback! Great book
