For the acting auditions, do they provide you with a monologue to practice on or do you have to provide one?

That's funny, because I've just been reading some NYT Audition threads and a lot of the people who got in did Shakespeare :tongue:

. That said, it is a good idea to stay away from the most popular monologues.

Again funny, because an NYT member said on another thread 'Do not on any account do a monolgue you find on the internet' hahaha. Again that being said, if it's a monologue from a play that you can find a copy of and read in its entirety that's fine. Doing something on a play you like is also a good idea because they may well ask you questions on it and if you can be enthusiastic with your answer that'll be bonus points. You can tell I've been trawling the internet for advice for too long :colondollar:

Oh, if I have't already made it clear I'm auditioning! Very nervous, doubt I'll get in, but I'm getting old now so this is my second to last chance to audition. Considering a lot of people don't get in on their first try it seems silly to waste the opportunity.

See the problem with my piece that I've chosen is its a monologue but not a play, but its one of my lamda speeches and it shows real diversity so I dunno what to do, what do you guys think I should do?

If it's not part of a play, all the NYT members' advice I've read so far would advise you not to choose it. They advise you choose something from a published play and that you read the entirety of the play you choose, because they may ask you questions on it in the audition.
