Two things keep it from a 5 star rating, first, many of the monologues are actually rather bratty. I don't want to encourage my daughter to sound like a brat, so I vetoed several she liked just because I didn't like the attitude that came with it. Second, some parts are outdated....we actually adjusted the monologue she chose to be more relevant to the current time. I think it's a great starting point, just realize you may need to make some adjustments to the actual content.
My daughter is an young aspiring actress and I have purchased multiple books from the Hollywood 101 series by Chambers Stevens. When we first started to persue her dreams, I was extremely overwhelmed and finding good monologues/comercials for her was beyond difficult. I was new to the whole scene and had no clue about anything. Chambers' books proved to be extremely useful. They provided a variety of good material for my daughter to use and practice. They also provided me with great information on the whole "show business" scene. And the best part of it all is that Chambers knows what he is talking about, knows what those in the field are looking for, and has the experience to back it all up. I highly recommend this series for anyone working with young aspiring actors as it helped my daughter sign with a hollywood agency.
Magnificent Monologues for Kids 2 is the best place for both boys and girls to go for fantastic monologues! Chambers has a gift to be able to think like a kid when he writes his monologues so they are not only funny but very believeable. I use Chamber's monologues whenever I have an audition...I always stand out with his unique material! Chambers is the best acting coach an aspiring actor could ever hope to be lucky enough to work with! Chambers is very encouraging and his energy is contagious!Sydney Bollenbeck, 13 year-old student/actress Appleton, WI
The monologues are clever but some are inappropriate for elementary schools. Words like "stupid" are prohibited in the school systems, so it becomes necessary for an instructor to delete or change those words. The author needs to keep those things in mind when he is writing scenes and monologues. They work in the industry but not in the educational setting.
Magnificent Monologues for Kids 2: More Kids' Monologues for Every Occasion! (Hollywood 101)Wow, another amazing book written by Chambers Stevens! His humor shines through with these comedic monologues. The "Helpful Hints for a Great Audition" helped my daughter get signed with a NY Talent Agent! Thanks for your wisdom, Chambers Stevens!
