It takes that has been taken out of context from a Choosing a monologue guts, talent and confidence to pull it off. play.

Nine times out I believe you should pick characters within thin air or an empty chair as if there’s of ten these are the wrong choices for you! your age range. They don’t have to be someone there. However, even though this There’s no point trying to be ambitious your exact age, there’s no reason why process might seem artificial to you, it’s and challenging yourself with a speech you can’t go up a few years or down a few quite a good way for the people that is way out of your league and age years but try to choose something that is believable casting. I recently had a young guy come to me, Dee Cannon advises against choosing wanting help on his audition pieces. He ambitious and challenging monologues in had chosen a black American, drug addict, favour of those you feel a connection to Jazz musician. He was neither black, American, a drug addict (past or present) or indeed a jazz musician or a musician in any way. He just liked the speech, it was cool. Needless to say I convinced him to find something closer to home and he felt much more comfortable and connected once we found something that he could bring a truthful reality to. I think you should try and typecast yourself when it comes to looking for the most suitable audition pieces. It makes sense if you think about it. Why would you show them what you can’t do, as opposed to what you can do? You don’t want them to see you struggle to connect with a character who’s married and divorced with three kids when you’re barely out of school. The key here is being able to emotionally engage with what you choose, otherwise don’t choose it.

Delivering your monologue Next, I would like to address who you should be saying the monologue to… If you think about it, it doesn’t make much sense to say the monologue out front, directly to the panel of people auditioning you. This seems to be what the majority of you want to do. Why? It doesn’t make sense to me. Surely you want to create a make-believe world for three minutes. Certainly your character’s world doesn’t include the people auditioning you! Then

Be sure to choose a How to choose the right monologue that better fits your age and background monologue • The speech should fit in well with your social, physical and vocal type. Yes, typecasting. • If you look at your monologue and don’t relate to it don’t choose it. • If the monologue only makes sense if you’ve seen or read the whole play, don’t choose it unless you can change the context to

They should have a beginning, middle and end and should be an emotional journey of some kind. • The best speeches pertain to something that’s happened to your character and are not about someone else. • I would stay away from any speeches that rant or are too verbose and just explain or report what’s happened to you or Helena Miscioscia for Shakespeare’s Globe anyone else.

Johan Persson over the years, simply by watching it. For the two years of my A levels, I and my small group of theatre-loving friends went nearly every Friday and/or Saturday night to see more or less everything that was on at Richmond Theatre, the Orange Tree Theatre and the National Theatre, as well as venturing to smaller fringe venues such as the Cockpit Theatre near Marylebone, and locally to amateur spaces and productions. We saw only a few things we didn’t like, lots that we did, and everything we learnt from. Tickets in the ‘gods’ – right at the back of the top gallery of the theatre – were vertiginous and often stuffy, and our view was restricted sometimes to just the tops of the actors’ heads, but we had a brilliant time. I would go through TimeOut’s theatre listings and make a note of the dates of everything that I wanted to see, and then gradually tick each production off: a very fulfilling shopping list. We never paid more than £20 for a ticket, more often £10, though admittedly that was over a decade ago. When I got to my interview at the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School – the part where I had a chat with the then-artistic director Sue Wilson, having performed my speeches for members of the acting staff in a separate room – she had two broad

questions for me: what had I performed in Performance recently, and what had I seen. The second question was a fantastic opportunity for me to share my interest, enthusiasm, and considered opinion – and it helped my confidence no end to be able to talk about theatre: believe me, on a day when (inevitably) you feel more personally scrutinised than ever before, it’s great to share thoughts about something outside of yourself.
