The Two Contrasting Monologue Audition Preparation: Find two contrasting monologues no more than two minutes in length each. Some auditors will allow more time, some less, even as little as one minute per piece. The shorter the time allowed the stricter they will most likely be—even to the point of stopping you with a timer. Pay attention to what they say in the casting notice or audition materials. Choose a comedic and a dramatic piece; or a classical (from Ancient Greek to Shakespeare all the way to Shaw and Chekov) and a contemporary piece. Choose material in your age range (+ or – 5 years). Choices should reflect realistically how you should be cast. Most auditors want text from published plays. Movie script monologues are also becoming accepted as long as it aren't the famous ones. Refrain from original material whether it be your own or your friend’s. Consider profanity or vulgarity carefully and only when the venue is appropriate and only when it’s vital to the character you portray. Don’t choose it to shock or stand out. If your audition is in a church basement or for children’s theater, it’s a good bet off-color material will not be a good choice. Good monologues are about an emotional journey, where your character learns or realizes something very important. This is usually called ‘The Turn” in the monologue. Good monologues have a Beginning (moment of reaction), Middle (debate or discovery) and Ending (moment of decision). Get coaching if you are inexperienced or looking for a competitive edge. The material should reflect your strengths, range and ability. Be sure your material is well rehearsed. The audition should not be the first time you hear it aloud in front of somebody. Get a friend, a peer or a coach to see what you’ve rehearsed. Presentation: Entering the room You are on view the moment you walk in the door. Don’t go in costume. You are dressing for two characters, not one. Your clothes should be neutral and clean so as not to distract from your work. Don’t use props. If you must, you only get one. The audition is about you, not about how well you use props. As you enter, keep your monologues on the back burner, idling, ready. Pre-audition Housekeeping If someone introduces you to the person or panel, just say hello and express how nice it is to meet them. If you are on your own, introduce yourself and hand over your picture and resume. Shake hands only if invited, do not initiate. If a casual conversation is begun by the auditors, engage them, but be prepared to begin your work once the simple exchange is over. Go to the center of the room or stage, look for your light if needed, and introduce the two pieces you will be presenting. There is a zone between you and the auditors, the first third of the room. Do not violate their space. A good coach will help you get it just right. Your Audition Do not make your auditors part of your work. Look center over their heads. Breathe. Establish your circumstances, where you are and to whom you are speaking. This concentration will override any nerves you have. Then, when you are ready, begin. After the first piece, take a brief moment to transition and refocus on your new circumstances of your second piece. There are occasions when an auditor will ask you to speak right to them. This is becoming very rare. The Wrap-up Express your thanks. Gather your things and exit the room. Do not initiate a post-audition conversation. If your auditors want to engage you in conversation, then by all means talk with them. Let them control how long they wish to talk. Once they say thank you, it is time to leave. Outside, when no one is looking: Fist pump! You nailed it! Larry Gleason audition/monologue coach 917.549.5173 |
