10th Annual 1MMC Best Character Actors

These are the winning monologue performances of LA's 10th Annual 1Minute Monologue Contest Best Character Category. These monologues were performed live in this International Competition at Clay Banks Studio International in Los Angeles California. LA's 1Minute Monologue Contest was launched in 2006 by Coach Clay Banks to give actors another opportunity to sharpen their skills and to be seen. 1Minute has successfully sold out each and every year since. In 2017 1Minute became an International Micro Film Festival and accepted submissions from all over the world. But in 2018 we are bringing 1 Minute back home. This means that in order to participate in the contest in 2018 you must have student status. There are two ways to get student status. www.1minutemonologue.com/

How do we join the monologue contest? Does it need to be only a minute? I have some on my page but they're just ones I wrote myself. Do they need to be specific? Except like an Aldo Raine one. Thanks for any feedback. Respectfully always ...

Frusterated Richard the third. I can not find this anywhere. Is it an original monologue?

[@narutosasuke84]

i am also confused.

[@SamCash58]

These monologues come from many different sources. Most of them have been edited and taIlor fit for each performer. Feel free to transcribe any of them you'd like and make them your own. Also, think of participating in the fest yourself. 1MinuteMonologue.com

The existence of acting competitions (which are not a thing in Sweden) is very weird to me. You guys really like competing, huh?

[@claybanksstudiointernation3046]

Think of it more as honing the craft - strengthening the instrument - brightening the bulb. Anyone can call themselves an actor... however, putting what's inside on the line to see what it really is, is all a part of development.

[@stinaolsson3954]

@@claybanksstudiointernation3046 I kind of feel like you said a lot and not very much at the same time here. But yeah... I think we might have a slightly different approach to acting in Sweden. "Different" doesn't necessarily need to mean "better", but as you can probably tell, I personally can become a little sceptical when I perceive something to be overly competetive. I don't know if I would necessarily call competing a way of strengthening the craft. To me, it can also be a way of ruining it sometimes.
