Monologue Ideas for Girls

The audition monologue can be the most important choice an actor makes when attempting to win a role. Choosing the right monologue can be difficult, as the monologue must be age and gender appropriate, fit to the actor's performance strengths and help her stand out in the minds of casting directors. There are several monologues that are well-suited to being performed by girls, many of which can be found online for free.
  1. Pre-Teen Girl Comedic Monologues

    • Comedic monologues are perfect for pre-teen girls to perform. The list at the Colin's Movie Monologues website has a sorting option for female-performed monologues, from which you can choose pieces from "101 Dalmatians" and "Freaky Friday," among others. The ISP Group website also has monologues for young girls, including the "Confused Teen" and "Bandana Mania" comedic pieces. The Stage Agent website allows you to search by gender, age and monologue type to find monologues like the "Coathanger Sculpture" piece from "You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown."

    Pre-Teen Girl Dramatic Monologues

Monologues from "Election," "Mean Girls," "Legally Blonde" and "Never Been Kissed" are available on the Colin's Movie Monologues and are great options for a comedic monologue. More classic choices from "A Midsummer Night's Dream" and "As You Like It" can be found on the Shakespeare Monologues website for free.
