The Monologue Method finally answers the question that has been thrown to me for decades—'Where can I find really good monologues for students, and some guidance for using them well?'  This is a beautifully shaped, immensely useful resource--a lifetime of work between its covers, packed with an artist's ambition and heart, a teaching artist's savvy, and an educator's understanding of young artistry. This is great acting instruction, great monologues, and a great way for students to grow into their artist selves."

Jill Massie

Lead Teaching Artist for The Monologue Method

Jill comes to The Monologue Method with a wide rage of expertise and experience.  What began as a degree in Theatre and Speech ending up as a double major, to include music composition.  Jill's dedication to songwriting and composition have yeilded a bounty of songs (with  her musician and composer husband, Tom Montgomery), and two full-length musicals.  Jill is also an actor, (and a proud member of  SAG`AFTRA and AEA), as well as a respected director, for both screen and stage. Jill additionally is an accomplished Dialect Coach, having worked with numerous actors and film/stage projects to fine-tune the most nuanced of accents to character perfection. Currrently, Jill finds her work as a teacher and a Teaching Artist as the most compelling.  She was mentored as an instructor and director for Ruth Sweet’s The Acting Studio and then she later opend  The Dramatic Arts Studio.   Jill became a Teaching Artist for Tennessee Performing Arts Center in the 1990's, being trained and mentored by Lincoln Center TA’s, as well as by the ‘guru’ of Teaching Artistry, Eric Booth. During nearly three decades of teaching Aesthetic Education principles, Jill has excelled at facilitating classroom-teacher trainings, weaving her full scope of teaching experiences into helping classroom teachers find their footing-- and then their passion-- in the performing arts.  "When that happens, teachers are eager to learn effective ways to spark this passion in their students,  facilitating skills that the students can confidently take with them to the stage, or to a boardroom, and every career in between. Empowered teachers empower students."  Jill loves what she does, whether it is helping an actor on set with an accent, teaching young actors from around the world how to audition effectively or create a character,  or helping classroom teachers believe in their own artistry enough to confidently guide students to profound arts experiences.
