College Interview, monologue Help?

Question:http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;...
I'm being interviewed for BTEC National Award Performing Arts, and i have to prepare a monologue. I was wondering do any of you know if i can read out a male part, because i want to read out the end of Witnail & I.

Withnail:
I'll miss you too. [I departs. Withnail walks to the fence and leans against it.]

I have of late, but wherefore I know not, lost all my mirth and
indeed it goes so heavily with my disposition that this goodly
frame the earth seems to me a sterile promotory; this most
excellent canopy the air, look you, this mighty o'rehanging
firmament, this majestical roof fretted with golden fire; why, it
appeareth nothing to me but a foul and pestilent congregation of vapours. What a piece of work is a man, how noble in reason, how infinite in faculties, how like an angel in aprehension, how like a God! The beauty of the world, paragon of animals; and yet to to to me, what is this quintessence of dusk. Man delights not me, no,
nor women neither, nor women neither. [The wolves are
unimpressed. Withnail exits into the rain.]

Do not do any cross-gender monologues for a college audition. Gender-bending is risky by even the best professionals and not what a college audition board wants to hear. Finding a good monologue for a woman that is age appropriate, maybe just a little older than yourself shows that you've done your homework. It also shows where you could fit in in their productions. There will be precious few places for you to fit in if you want to be seen as a girl who can do male parts. There will be plenty of males to do those

The best audition will be clean, free of props, not costumed, and will not push the time limit. In an audition seminar at SETC recently, most directors said that they can tell what they need to know about you in the first 30 seconds, the rest of the minute or two is just a waste of their time. So if it says to prepare a 2 minute monologue, do a 1 minute monologue and nail it! Always keep 'em wanting more.

On top of that, I'm not sure what Withnail and I is, but the monologue you've listed is from Hamlet, Act II scene ii, and will be recognized as such.

Why don't you learn it? It would be much more powerful that way.
