Question:

When interviewing or performing a monologue for an agent, what do they love to see?

I will be performing a monologue in front of a few agents next month. What should I do besides act the monologue very well, to impress them?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Study the part, and the play as others have suggested.

Then make bold (but real) choices about how to portray it. Too many actors do a tame, boring interpretation of the scene. If you are doing a monologue, ask yourself, "Why this moment?"

What is it about this moment in a character's life that makes it vitally important? Why are you sharing this now? How will things change for your character, once you express this thought?
