Now that you have a stronger sense of who your Antiques Roadshow Project character is, write them a monologue that has nothing to do with the antique. Pick some other aspect of their life that you have invented.
This is NOT a soliloquy (“to be or not to be…”). Rather, your character should be speaking to someone, although the other person should remain silent.
You must first determine what the character wants—their objective.
The motivation to speak is key—what is the intention or action behind the speech. What is the obstacle that he or she is attempting to overcome? How high are the stakes? What will happen if they fail? What will happen if they succeed?
