A scene set during a long car ride can probably be shot at a kitchen table without any major rewrites. While all of these details are helpful when you’re analysing the script, don’t let them bog you down when it comes to practicing or shooting them. The thing to remember about scripts written for screen is that you often get far more visual information: action, time/scene jumps and even the types of shots to be used when filming. These scripts utilise a conventional screenplay format. Legal stuff aside: go for it! Make bold choices! Pull ’em apart and give ’em a go! Practice Screen Scripts for Actors Additionally, no learning institutions may use these materials in classes, for showreel/demo reel filming or any context wherein participants pay for their use (except for the good folk here at StageMilk). (If you’re feeling brave, you can tag me via so I can see what you do with it!) None of these scenes are to be recorded, filmed, staged, re-written, developed or adapted for professional purposes. All I ask is that you credit my work-especially if you post it on social media. I hereby give my permission for you to use the scenes on this page for personal practice, as well as showreels and auditions. Hello! My name is Alexander Lee-Rekers I’m a professional playwright and screenwriter. Did you use a great scene by a playwright for that audition you nailed? Consider buying some of their work online! Do you have a favourite book of monologues or scenes you swear by for auditions? Get it as a gift for an actor friend! Our best advice is to pay it forward when you can. In the future, have a think about where your scripts come from, and find ways to support and respect the artists who write them. However, as the scenes are generally not being used for direct financial gain, there is a bit of legal wiggle room when it comes to using this material.

It requires a lot of time, a lot of training and very few writers are willing to give their hard work away for free! Practice scenes for use in an educational context, showcase, for a showreel or an audition are still technically covered by copyright laws-you should really be paying for them, or at least seeking the permission to use them. Copyright-Free Scriptsįinding truly copyright-free material can be difficult, and the reason for this is fairly simple: writing is tough. We’ve broken down our collection into practice scripts for screen, practice scripts for theatre, and A/B scenes more useful in an educational context. These scripts have been developed here at StageMilk and are designed to give you material you can use when practicing scenes with your fellow actors, or as material for a showreel or demo reel. This page contains a selection of practice scripts for actors.
