Talking to yourself, we all do it, or am I the only one. Well if you don't talk to yourself when you are stressing over something or studying (I always study aloud) then you should realize every time you practice a monologue or rehearse lines you are in fact have a one way conversation with yourself :)Not only with practicing a monologue but also when performing one. You have to take into account that you character might be talking to themselves. We all do it, actually it is said the we talk to ourselves more than anyone else, it must be a fact for it was on the back of my herbal essence shampoo bottle :) While we all do, it proves to be effective while rehearsing lines. Nobody really wants to review lines with someone before they've even studied them. You say them aloud, change the undertones, switch around the emphasis of this word and that. You make sure you have it memorized and then of course you move to blocking. Talking to yourself to review lines or actually while you perform is completely normal, you of course just have to make sure you don't have an audience or they may find you a little on the mental side., but of course who isn’t?
