Hone Your Craft: 10 Monologues and Short Skits

By Seema Rahmani

TV and film actor, writer, theater director, music producer, Seema Rahmani entered Hollywood as an actor in 1997, eventually moving forward her acting career through independent cinema in India. Her capacity as an actor to bring written word to life through deep understandings of the human psyche yielded layered performances in theater, TV, and films in Los Angeles and in India. How many situational realities, complexities, motivations, personality traits can a character reveal by manner of words and actions? What is the through-line and journey within a scene and as a whole? As an actor, Rahmani felt it was her responsibility to self-direct through dedicated analysis, study, and independent rehearsal. A prepared actor is a gift for a director, who can then further mold as and when required. The monologues and skits in this book offer opportunity to breathe life into unusual scenarios and soulful characters... if the actor dares to challenge and stretch himself or herself.
