Beats in Scenes & Monologues

    • Beats are much more than just pauses.
    • Beats are sections within a scene or monologue.
    • Everytime there there is a change in dynamic, emotion, or purpose, there is a change in beat.
    • Deciding where the beats are in your monologue is an important step in deciding how you will perform your monologue.
    • Changes in emotion and purpose are what make acting interesting. If you are having difficulty finding these changes (the beats) in a monologue, then it may not be the best monologue for you.

When i learned about beats and units this past spring, it made analyzing monologues much easier. Now when i'm sifting through plays and monologues in general, I can pinpoint what phrases or words jump out and connect with me.
