Excerpt
Logan
Hello everyone! (Waving) Guess what? We’re moving to a new town tomorrow. And next week, I’ll be starting my new school. I’m really excited because no one will know me there – so I can reinvent myself into anything I like!
But I can’t decide what sort of person I want to be. Should I be loud and confident, or should I be quiet and shy…?
Hints & tips
- This monologue is ideal for Initial exams – but can also be used at other levels.
- The character Logan can be male or female.
- Act out the scene as if you are talking to a group of friends on a video call.
- You will need a table on which to place a laptop or a phone on a stand.
- You will also need a chair to sit on.
- Put everything on a slight angle so your face is not hidden from the audience.
- You can use real props such as the glasses and a book – or they can be imaginary.
