Answer 1

A monologue is when only one person is speaking, like 'Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo' from Romeo and Juliet. So, get your resume printed, and then find a one person monologue like my example that's one to two minutes, memorize it, and then present it to the director when you go in for your audition. Director's usually prefer monologues not to be one's you made up, but some of them like that better. That depends on the director, so if you don't know them too well, I'd go with an already written monologue. Oh, and the monologue can be from a play, a movie, a musical, etc.

Answer 2

Jess gave a great answer, but there is one thing I would add. From the way you ask your question, I'm assuming you don't have much experience. I apologize in advance if I'm wrong about that, because if I am, my next piece of advice is going to seriously insult your intelligence, and that is not my intention. I just want to help you land your audition.
That said, the piece of advice I have is this: Don't just memorize the words and recite them back at the director. He's not looking for the person who can memorize stuff the best. He's looking for the person who can make him beleive she is the character she's portraying.
So if you do choose Juliet's monologue, don't just say the words, BE Juliet. Feel her emotional turmoil. And ask a teacher about the words you don't understand, so you use them in the right context. A frequent mistake, for example, is the misunderstood use of the word "wherefore". Many people think Juliet is asking where Romeo is (as in, "where are you, you were supposed to be here by now").
The truth is that it means "why". She's actually asking why the man she loves has to be from a family that her family is fueding with. You can see how that would affect how you ask the question.
Have a great audition and break a leg!
