Requirements
•Bullet: Two contemporary monologues, recommended 60-90 sec each
•Bullet: Each from a published play or written by a professional writer (someone whose plays have been produced, but may not have been professionally published)
•Bullet: If possible, do not perform pieces by Gabriel Davis, Don Zolidis, Kellie Powell, or Wade Bradford
•Bullet: Avoid any monologue that is not a piece of a larger whole, such as a play, a screenplay, a novel, or a TV script
Monologue Tips
•Bullet: Choose monologues that are age-appropriate (generally within 5-10 years of your actual age) and that feel authentic to your culture, background, and lived experience
•Bullet: Active monologues are often better for auditions — an active monologue takes place in real time, focuses on what you want, and puts you in direct communication with an imaginary scene partner
•Bullet: Avoid monologues that rely on extreme emotions
