Audition monologue?

Question

Do you know any good one minute monologues for auditions that you can copy paste here, or give me a link to? I want something I can move around to a little, not TOO comedic or melodramatic, and relatively clean. Anything spoken by a sociopath or flirtatious woman would be good.

Answer 1

Find copies of Tennessee Williams plays A Streetcar Named Desire and A Glass Menagerie. In Streetcar, Blanche has some excellent speeches and at least one of them is flirtatious. In A Glass Menagerie, Amanda's speeches aren't very flirtatious, but they are poignant. All a clean. Sorry about that, maybe. Both plays are relatively short, so finding a speech you like shouldn't be hard. You can borrow a copy free at your library.

Answer 2

1 - Avoid the camera. 2 - Avoid direct eye contact with the panel. They are likely envisioning your performance on a stage in a packed theater, so you need to do the same for yourself. Imagine you're on a full stage. You would pick a spot in the house, probably slightly elevated from your eye level, and work to that spot. In the classroom, you should pick one focal point in the room, a clock, a plaque on the wall, whatever, slightly above and perhaps slightly to the side of the casting panel. BUT don't get STUCK on the focal point. Your monologue will guide you. But there will be peaks and valleys in the passage that will lead you to look away, close your eyes momentarily, look down, look up at the sky, whatever, but when you come out of that moment, go back to that focal point, and end there, unless the passage calls for you to break down crying or somesuch at the end... Okay, I've given you a little too much detail without the passage at hand, but you get the idea. Good luck!!

Answer 3

If I were you, I would look into monologues from 'Ten November,' which has dramatic monologues. Some of them are filled with grief, while others are bittersweet in a way. They are wonderful IF you can pull them off and find the honesty. I would reccomend them for auditions for a dramatic show - no one else will use one, I don't think, and they're just beautiful.

Answer 4

I had to do this and I picked a piece out of "Gone with the Wind." The part where Mammy tells off Scarlett about getting married to Rhett. Wasn't so hard since I already have the Southern accent, just had to use the grammar that she used. There are many parts of that book you could use, Scarlett, Melanie, Belle, or Mammy like I chose.
