Question:

What is a good one-minute comedic monologue to use at an audition?


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: It all depends what kind of audition! But if you really DON'T want to go wrong, there is a monologue I have found works for both male and female actors of all ages. It's from Cinderella Story, and you can alter it however you want to make it fit you. It's both dramatic and if you add the right touch will leave the auditionees at your feet:


No, you listen. You turned out to be exactly who I thought you were. I never pretended to be somebody else. It's been me all along. And it was me who was hurt in front of everybody. Look, I didn't come here to yell at you, okay? I know what it feels like to be afraid to show who you are. I was. But not anymore. And the thing is, I don't care what people think about me... because I believe in myself. And I know that things are gonna be okay. But even though I have no family, and no job, and no money for college... it's you that I feel sorry for. (pause) I know that guy that sent those emails is somewhere inside of you, but, I can't wait for him... because waiting for you is like waiting for rain in this drought. Useless and disappointing

You can add British, Southern, Indonesian WHATEVER dialects you want. You can make yourself ANGRY, or sad. Make yourself sound vulnerable or INvulnerable. You can do whatever you want with it. Break a leg.
