im doing a joan of arc monologue ...?

Question

for an audition. at an audition do you introduce it or what? im new to this. thanks

Answer 1

Introduce yourself, be friendly, and be yourself. You don't need to introduce the monologue, but take a moment to change your body language, eyes and face before you begin speaking. This is important because it shows the people you're auditioning for that you have assumed the character.

Also, make really strong choices for the monologue, even if they aren't necessarily the 'right' choices. If you do something a little bit crazy and interesting, you'll stand out. And some times, that's the only way to stand out.

And (it may be too late) but you should always have a few monologues in your back pocket when you go on an audition. If they like what you did with the first monologue, they may ask you to do another.

Break a leg!

Answer 2

The audition panel may ask you to introduce the monologue and where it came from OR they may say "begin when your ready." Just listen to them and read the room. I have been ON the audition panel in the past and it is nice just to see people acting like THEMSELVES...... Don't ACT until it's time for the speech. Joan of Arc (Shaw) OR Joan of Arc (Shakespeare)...... OR something else I haven't heard of. Both very good monologues. Break a Leg.

Answer 3

Your introduction should consist of the following:

1) A pleasant greeting ("Hello!," "Good morning!," "Hi!," etc.)

2) Your name

3) The character you'll be playing, and the play from which the monologue is taken. In most cases, you should also include the playwright's name. If it's Shakespeare, you needn't bother; the people you're auditioning for will know.

4) That's IT.

Please, please, PLEASE...don't "explain" the piece. Don't put it in context ("This is the scene where Joan..."). That's completely unnecessary. Your piece should be self-contained, and should have a clearly discernible beginning, middle, and end. If it doesn't stand on its own, you need a new selection.

Answer 4

If you're auditioning for Joan of Arc and the play you are auditioning for is the one you took the speech from, you shouldn't have to tell them what you're doing. If it's just a general audition, you should probably tell them what your auditionpiece is.

Actually, can you tell me what it is? I'm looking for an audition piece and I haven't though of Joan of Arc... What is the play called and who wrote it?

Answer 5

Joan of Arc grew to become right into a ingenious who fought the English in the process the Hundred Years conflict via fact she claimed that God advised her to guard her place of commencing place from English domination. She grew to become into tried for heresy by skill of a Christian courtroom, and burned on the stake.

Answer 6
