Hello!? Avon calling, oh my!. Hello, I'm Peg
Boggs!. I'm your local Avon representative!.
Hello!. I'm sorry to barge in like this!. But you
don't have any reason to be afraid!. This is
some huge house, isn't it!? Thank goodness for
those aerobics classes!.

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
What play are you auditioning for!. These two ladies are very different in two very different sort of movies (Edward Scissorhands and Sleepy Hollow)!. Usually it is best to audition for a play with a monologue for another play!. Something that was written for the stage!. However, it would be impossible to tell you which one is better without knowing what play you are auditioning for!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Neither!. Movie monologues are not used for theatre auditions for the most part!.

The first monologue doesn't have any emotional peak!. I'm not sure what to make of the second one!.


If you have time, go to the library and look through some plays for young women!. Examples- Steel Magnolias, Crimes of the Heart, Sylvia, The Miss Firecracker Contest, Little Women, The Diary of Anne Frank, Anne Frank and Me, Barefoot in the Park- just to name a few solid pieces!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
