Step Twelve: Monologuing (just an intro)

Knowing and perfecting a couple different monologues is the foundation for good auditioning. You want to have a contemporary monologue and a classic one. Preferably, you want a comedic and dramatic of each.

I've learned Shakespeare's Sonnet 116 and i practice it in various different tones, manners, and accents for fun. though there's also legitimacy in doing this. I will post a video soon of me doing different readings of this.

While searching for monologues, i found AceYourAudition.com which provides some useful info for actors. Just a few hints for auditioning and monologuing: http://www.ace-your-audition.com/free-monologues.html
