Drama School Audition - Monologue suggestions

•

Choose from a play you have watched or are familiar with, so that you can understand your character and represent them accurately and within context.

•

Choose a character that fits you, so people can imagine him playing that part. E.g. King Lear is an old man, people would have fight to ignore the fact that he is 14.

•

Age appropriate and inoffensive. E.g. one boy did a scene that was being sexually aggressive towards a girl (in the monologue). The response from the panel was not good and they did not get a recall.

•

Avoid non-humans, like Puck because of the excessive movement distracts from monologue.

•

Boy (Ocean at the End of the Lane)

•

Christopher (The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night)

•

Albus, Scorpius etc (HP & Cursed Child)

•

Romeo, Benvolio, even Mercrutio (R&J)

•

Sebastian (Twelfth Night)
