Your monologue must have a point at which something happens or is resolved by the speaker. The monologue must have a reason why it has to be spoken. If the speaker doesn’t have to deliver the speech, then the audience loses interest. Even if the description is eloquent, two minutes of speech without anything to define the speaker is boring.
We write to your timing, your age range and your accent, and the piece is never reissued to another client or published as a sample, so an audition panel hears it exactly once.
The writer has to picture a character talking under pressure and then have them talk in front of them. Actors need to have beats where their character’s thought processing changes, an unspoken listener, and specific words to help the thought process and chew on. That lives in the ear, and an ear gets built by watching performances, rather than rehearsing and counting sentences.
The speaker clearly states how they are feeling. The speaker explains their feeling and anger and the reason behind it with full and grammatically correct sentences. Long, emotionally charged speech takes time and is susceptible to contradictions, and interrupting itself, recording panels spot the difference in less than 20 seconds.
We start with the actor rather than the speech. We focus on the casting department, what you want to show them, what roles you end up auditioning for, and the roles you want to stay away from. The writer develops the speaker with a clear problem, and voice comes from the kind of stress that person is experiencing.
Time is of the essence during the refining pass. The speech is read aloud by the writer at performance pace, and is then cut to the allotted time. The writer marks the spots in the speech where a new idea is conveyed. Performance copies of the speech, as well as marked copies, are provided to the actor. These marked copies are extremely helpful during the first few days of preparation time.
One rate, whatever the format: $10 per 100 words. You are paying for the writer’s time and judgement, so the price scales with the words rather than with a package tier.

Yes — 2 rounds are included, for 14 days after delivery, handled by the writer who wrote the piece rather than by someone new to the brief.
Yes, by assigning someone who already knows the subject rather than someone who will research it overnight. If we do not have the right specialist available we will tell you rather than take the brief and hope.
Yes. Send the school’s requirements. Many have specifications about current or published work, with a hard deadline. The writer follows these rules, and we will let you know if a school’s list does not have newly written pieces before you place an order.
No. Each piece is written for one client and never reissued, resold or published as a sample. That matters at auditions, where panels sit through the same twelve overused speeches and remember the one they have not heard.
Completely. Copyright transfers to you on delivery, with no attribution requirement and no licence back to us. Nothing written for you is resold, repurposed or republished.

Project it to fifty people in a barn with terrible acoustics. Short. One idea each. It reached the back. I’ve since learned this was done with intention and was not just a matter of luck.
The tribute was heartfelt, but came close to ten minutes when I delivered it (I was supposed to stick to six). I removed it a night before because there wasn’t time to edit. Undoubtedly, it was my fault for putting it off. The words, however, were just right.
For my dad’s eightieth, I wanted him to have a short story written based on an old famliy vacation from 1974. I was not expecting a literary masterpiece since I just needed something to read to the family after dinner. However, there is a part where he breaks a deckchair and I didn’t even include that and it is just perfect.
