My daughter is going for audition soon and has to prepare two speeches of up to 3 minutes which show that she can portray different characters. Any suggestions?

Those are just some that I like, you can look around those websites for more, and whichever two she chooses, make sure they are very different from each other to show acting range, like one comedy and one drama.

I suggest that she do two speeches that are opposite. Like, a dramatic and a comedic. To show her range. Also, show her age range off. Something young, something old.
I reccommend Blanche from Brighton Beach Memoirs by Neil Simon (she is older, dramatic and challenging. the "I did not create this universe..." monologue is long and I do very well when I use it.) or Emma Goldman from Ragtime (The Night that Goldman Spoke at Union Square - the rally monologue) for dramatic monologues.
As for a comedic ones, Reno or Bonnie from Anything Goes (lots of cute short monologues) or a monologue from Arsenic and Old Lace (either aunt - they are very funny).
Hope these help! Tell your daughter GOOD LUCK!

I could desire to do only this activity for my college auditions. I could desire to do 2 classical speeches and a million modern. a sturdy place to look is Shakespearean texts. He has various long speeches for women folk. additionally Chekov's the seagull and Henrik Ibsen's a doll's domicile. i could be sure to do teaching Rita for my modern. There are various modern speeches obtainable for women folk. all the final :)

Olivia, 12th night has a great speach, about a ring given to her.
Play Starting Monday has some pretty decent ones.

Crimes of the Heart. Some wonderful female roles in that one.
