My daughter wants to get into acting and commercials and needs a site for monologues that she can perform and that are age and gender appropriate.
She is well spoken, can get into any character, and "sassy" suits her the best.

There's a book out there called "Magnificent Monologues for Kids". It's available wherever books are sold, and also at the sites below (shop.com and amazon.com). Search that title and find it other places too. Good luck to you and daughter!

Magnificent Monologues For Kids

Honestly, you won't find any good monologues online that haven't been done so many times before that everyone in the audition will be reciting along with your daughter.
I suggest you go to your nearest large bookstore and spend some time going through monologue books and plays. It will take time and patience, but honestly, that's the only way to do it.
If you find something you like, read the entire work and explain it to your daughter, so that she will have an idea of what it's about.

Get this book 'Magnificent Monologues for Kids' (Hollywood 101) by Chambers Stevens.
You'll find a good variety of monologue's for your daughter to use, plus tips by the author on what is expected when auditioning.

what SUITS her best is what she should use as her best approach.
At 9 years old I'd even suggest she re-enact, in monologue a story she grew up having read to her and eventually memorizing.
Certainly she should remain age specific,,,not tackle a diatribe from a Julius Ceaser speech, and whoever is judging an audition will expect that anyhow.
The monologue is important certainly, but a judge will be looking at stage presence,,,NOT silly showy,,,NO offense meant. They will be looking at this young lady to FIT a part,,, or possibly many, as someone who will not only attract, but engage an audience. Someone convincing. Inflections in voice, certain dialects, overall personal appearance, KID LIKE CHARMS,,,etc. etc. etc.
One thing I suggest,,,with respect. Please do NOT take rejections as personal attacks,,,they aren't. An audition,,much like a court room, has very little to do with emotion initially. It has to do with fitting a person to a portrayal, and profit from it in some way. I learned long ago that "pink slips" can be mounted as trophies, and be affirmations of my efforts, at the very least.
I don't have SITES,,, connect with talent agencies,,, or directly to the AD agencies producing the work. Network with everyone you can involved in theater/film/promtional stuff, and be persistent.
Also I say this hoping not to be attacked myself, but i've been in the business a long time,,,PLEASE do NOT be a Stage Mom. Be supportive, but view her evolution from off screen,,,either stage left or right.
Wishing you well,
Steven Wolf
