When it comes to scoring a monologue, there is no one "right way" to accomplish this. Scoring a monologue means that you are marking it to help you understand that choices that you and the character are making.
There are questions that you should ask yourself.
What is the character's objective? Why is the character saying these things now and at this time?
What is the character feeling?
When does the mood change in the dialogue?
This is just a beginning to scoring a monologue. Objectives are extremely important in acting. What does a character want? Is this want something that can be attained without talking to other people? Is this only an internal want? Is what is wanted only attainable through another character? What is the character going to do or say in order to get the other character to help them achieve getting what they want? Is the character going to get what is wanted or is it going to fail? How is the character going to react to whatever happens?
All of it matters. All of it is made in choices in how a monologue is delivered.
Tomorrow, I'll address more of this with dealing with choices and beats.
