I need a monologue?

Question

I need a monologue for a play that I'll be auditioning for in about a month and a half, so there is no huge rush it would just be nice. The play is a christmas carol, so the monologue should work well with a british or cockney accent, and it can be dramatic or comic, whatever...thanks to anyone who answers any acting tips are more than welcome too, thank you all... : )

Answer 2

Love Valour Compassion Monologue

Answer 3

Since it is a competition, I would see what sort of monologues have won in past years. Doing a monologue about finding a monologue might be funny, but they might not approve of original monologues. Also the question of length is important as well. Look at past years' winners and see what type of monologues the judges have favored and if you can tell where those monologues came from. That's your best bet!

Answer 4

Are you required to audition with an accent???
Unless it is required, do you feel you must?
They are using the audition to evaluate you and your abilities. (be sure you have a strong introduction and to say "thank you" when you are done!)

Churchill is good: "Top Girls" or "Cloud Nine".

Williams wrote wonderful pieces for women: "Glass Menagerie", "Summer and Smoke", "This Property is Condemned"

Inge has some stuff that is great to work with: "Picnic", "Come Back Little Sheba"

Rabe: "Hurlyburly", "Those the River Keeps"

David Bottrell and Jesse Jones: "Dearly Departed"

Shaw: "Pygmalion", "Mrs Warren's Profession", "Arms and the Man"

Ibsen: "Doll's House", "Ghosts"

Thomas: "Charley's Aunt"

Wilde: "The Importance of Being Earnest", "A Woman of No Importance"

Wilder: "The Matchmaker", "The Skin of Our Teeth"

I hope these give you a start!
OH! One of my acting instructors says to always have at least 2 monologues ready. The first should be something that really shows you as an actor. It should be a strong piece that sets you apart. The second should be a contrast to the first. It might be a bit of a "character" or "bit" piece. It should show your range. Any others can be used to show your mastery of period pieces, unusual characters, etc.
Beware of needing any/many props in an audition piece. They should provide a chair that can be used to represent many things.
Be mindful of where you set your point of focus (like above the heads of the judges instead of onstage).
Otherwise, take a deep breath and 'Break a Leg'!!!

Answer 5

Check out something by Caryl Churchill, perhaps. Maybe something from "Top Girls."

If you don't care about the dialect, maybe some monologues from the Humana Festival.

Good luck!

Answer 6

Try Eliza Doolittle from Pygmalian by Shaw or from My Fair Lady.
