Comedic monologues for women talking to friend

When looking for a monologue, be sure the genre and language are appropriate for your audition. The monologue you choose should be both fun and challenging because it demands you make active rather than emotional choices. Each monologue should fit like a comfortable pair of jeans or a cozy sweater it should feel comfortable to speak the words and perform the actions. Though Laura and Antigone are very different characters, both display a determination to be themselves through personality traits that resonate with you. Whereas, when playing Antigone, you demonstrate conviction, defiance, and stubborn loyalty. When you play Laura, you may tap into your shyness, love of family, and internal world of imagination. From these works, you could select two contrasting monologues. For example, you may relate to both Laura from The Glass Menagerie and to SophoclesвЂ™ Antigone. But whether the character is a drug addict, king, or criminal, the monologue should feel accessible to you.

You might wonder, вЂњDoes this mean the character has to be exactly like me?вЂќ No, they can have different life experiences from yours. They are looking for reasons to hire you, to discover all that is unique about you as an individual, expanded and extended into the given circumstances of the play. The casting director and director want you to succeed. Unless you are auditioning for the part of Hamlet or Medea, no one wants to see that level of anguish at a 10:00 a.m. Chances are that intense monologues like theirs will make you look like youвЂ™re overacting. Keep Clytemnestra, Henry V, and their modern-day counterparts at home.
