Question:I have an audition tomorrow for both roles (it's community theatre & the audition process is just a read-through of some lines from the play)
does anyone have voice tips etc for the characters?

And an English accent wouldn't hurt. Gwendolyn is the more sophisticated, citified of the two, Cecily is a country girl with proper upbringing. In the tea scene they are both trying to be very much the better of the other.

Both women are spirited and light. Have fun with the characters . The lines are all very funny.
