Monologues

When selecting a monologue for your audition, there are a few things you need to consider.

​

  • Your monologue should be around one to one and a half minutes long

  • It should match the general mood and style of the show you are auditioning for

  •  It has to be from a published play or musical.

​

Choose a dramatic monologue for a drama or a comedic monologue for a comedy. Choose a contemporary monologue for a contemporary show and a classical monologue for a classical show. If you are auditioning for a specific role, it would be beneficial to pick a monologue that resembles the role you are auditioning for. Lastly, try to learn about the show you choose your monologue from. Understanding the show your monologue is from helps you to better understand the character you are playing. You can typically find monologues by looking up the kind of monologue you need for your audition.
