Anyone know any good shakespeare monologues I can do at an audition?

Answer 1

Mostly you have been given bad advice. you really need to read some plays and find a character who is much like you physcially-a role you might be cast in- If you had told us your age, coloring-hair eyes-, height and weight, we might have been able to give you good advice.

Answer 2

There are a ton of great Shakespeare soliloquies for auditions. It really depends on what kind of emotion and effect you're wanting to portray. Hamlet has a ton of tragic, emtion-filled monologues, including the To Be Or Not To Be speech and the one starting Oh that this too solid flesh would melt... There's a good villian speech from Iago in Othello and also some passionate love speeches by Helena in A Midsummer Night's Dream. Richard III opens with the beautiful Now is the Winter of Our Discontent and also includes some cold-blooded soliloquies. Dont't forget about Lady Macbeth and her assassin's confession, too. If you're going for something less dramatic, there's alway's Katherine's speech at the end of The Taming of the Shrew, Thy husband is thy Lord, thy life, thy keeper...etc. Shakespeare's packed full of great monologues for auditions. The most important thing is to find one that's written to impress that you can perform well with your acting style. Try doing some more research online if you need more assistance. Have fun and go with the Bard!

Answer 3

There are literally hundreds. What are you auditioning for? You should try to come as close to the character you'r auditioning for, and if the director will allow it, use on of that character's monologues

Answer 4

Do something from Romeo & Juliet, or "Quality of Mercy" speach from The Merchant of Venice".
