Question: Monologue help!? need for audition in 2 weeks!?
Im 13 i have and audition in 2 weeks for an agent and its in front of 10 people including an agent, casting director, and manager so its a little nerve racking and I really have no experience doing monologues i have taken improv classes so im mostly just used to doing stuff of that nature!. I need a monologue that would soot me best!. I find that i am very sarcastic like selena gomez character on wizards of waverly place!. Please no answers saying that only child unproffesional people would do a disney monolouge!. I have had enough of that!. I have searched google but nothing good has come up!. any help!?
ps: it does NOT have to be a disney monolouge, i was just thinking that a disney one would work best
thanks you :)Www@QuestionHome@Com
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
they DO NOT want you to write your own!. they want one that they can recognize cuz that way the know how it is supposed to sound as compared to how you performed it!.
and generally they like you to do one from a play or book not a tv show!.
i'd be sure it is from a play that has a chacactor in your general age group cuz they are most likely looking for you to be a child/teen actress!.
and remeber when you go in there don't look at any one of the people in particular you are suppoesd to pick a spot on the wall behind them and make that your focus!. and simply walk in state your name, say that you are there to audition!. state i will be reading the part of (what ever character) from (what ever book or play) by (who ever wrote it) and then just start the monologue!.
personally i'd pick your favorite book or play you've read or seen and find a monologue from that!. it will be much easier than finding something you've never read and trying to act as that person would when you don't even know the characters background or mannerisisms!.
i'd stay away from anything tv or movie related and go for books or plays (of course if the book or play was made into a movie then thats fine)
i'd recommend somethng like this:
Dorothy: But it wasn't a dream!. It was a place!. And you and you and you!.!.!.and you were there!. But you couldn't have been could you!? No, Aunt Em, this was a real truly live place and I remember some of it wasn't very nice, but most of it was beautiful--but just the same all I kept saying to everybody was "I want to go home," and they sent me home! Doesn't anybody believe me!? But anyway, Toto, we're home! Home!. And this is my room, and you're all here and I'm not going to leave here ever, ever again!. Because
I love you all!. And!.!.!. Oh Auntie Em! There's no place like home!
good luck!. Www@QuestionHome@Com
Yea, i think writing it down would be a really good idea!. And if you need help, ask a family member/teacher or a friend! I think it's the fastest solution and it's fun since your writing with your own creativity and you can act it out the way you want to!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
Do you have to use a real one!?
If you don't make one up!
Get a piece of paper and like actually make one up yourself!.
