Customer comments on this selection.
 Recommended Reading for Academy of Cinema and Television Students
As a professional writer and author with a background in the performing arts, I am often asked to review books for prestigious acting and performing arts schools. This week I was asked by the Academy of Cinema and Television to review this book.
I am pleased to say I found this book an outstanding tool for acting students. I believe students ranging in age from 6 to 12 will find the monologues in this book outstanding.
The monologues are divided so they benefit both girls and boys. Some of the pieces work for either gender. All of the selections are brief, ranging from a half page to a page and a half. I was especially fond of how the selections focus on typical childhood situations and relationships with parents, siblings, and friends. The child actors will most likely prefer the fairy-tale and alien pieces. The characters represent a range of personalities, from those in need of a helping hand to others who are selfish and demanding.
Parents seeking material for their children's acting classes or for their youngsters who audition for roles may want to include this book in their collection. I am highly recommending this book to the parents at the Academy of Cinema and Television. ~Amelia Painter
It's so fun!!!
When I heard of the book Magnificent monologues for kids, I begged and begged my father to get it for me. he wants me to keep going with my goal in life, to be an actress when I grow up. He bought it for me after he thought about it. To tell you the truth, when I first saw it I was a little bit disappointed. But every time I read it I got a little more exited. Chambers Steven's monologues are fantasic, and if you are a teenager and you want to pursue acting, then get Magnificent Monologues for teens!!! - Sara
The Best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This monologue book is by far the best of them all. there are monologes for boy or girls of all ages. there are all kinds of different monologes. sad, happy, or funny. Whatever kind you are looking for you can find it all in this monologue book.
It Got Me To HOLLYWOOD!!
Magnificent Monologues for Kids is truely magnificent!! I have used several monologues from the book in my auditions and they worked. Some are hilarious and others dramatic but all very fun to perform. After meeting Chambers, it is easy to see that his high energy level carries over into his books and it is easy to get energy from them.
Thumbs up from a working teen in Hollywood!!!!
I am a 14-year-old actress and I know for a fact that it is extremely difficult to find monologues that are relevant to today's kids and teens. Chambers books are current and up to date with today's television shows and feature films.
There are many children's monologue books on the market but none are so commercial and efficient as this one. When I am asked to prepare a monologue for auditions, agents, or general meetings they usually ask you to be sure that it's under a minute. In the past this had me rewriting monologues or even worse being stopped after the allotted time. These monologues are fast, commercial and packed with marketable and cast-able energy. Which is why I confirm as a working teen in Hollywood that Chambers books are incredible.
