  • Answer:

    As a teen girl, you might have a voice problem - as in having a voice that's not really appropriate for the part. I'm a guy, and for my serious monologues I did a couple of Edgar Allen Poe poems: The Raven and Lenore. With a deeper voice and a bigger range of tone and volume, I did pretty well. Probably wouldn't work for a girl, though. Maybe you could try some Emily Dickinson. For comedy, there's some old Bill Cosby stuff ("Noah" and "200mph"), or some other comedian. For a more classical approach, Shakespeare wrote some pretty hysterical stuff. 'The Merry Wives of Windsor' comes to mind.

The Fantasticks Luisa: “This morning a bird woke me up. It was a lark or a peacock. Or something like that. Some strange sort of bird that I’d not heard. And I said, ‘hello.’ And it vanished: flew away. The very minute I said ‘hello.’ It was mysterious, so do you know what I did? I went over to the mirror and brushed my hair two hundred times without stopping. And as I was brushing it, my hair turned gold! No, honestly! Gold! And then red.

When I get up in the morning to get dressed, I can tell: something’s different. I like to touch my eyelids because they’re never quite the same. Oh! Oh! Oh! I hug myself till my arms are blue, then I sloce my eyes and I cry and cry till the tears come down, and I taste them. Ah! I love to taste my tears. I am special. I am special. Please God, please – don’t let me be normal.” Link is to others.
