General Tips For Your Monologues:

• Choose a character in your age range.
• Avoid dialects, accents, sitting down (directors like to see you how move and carry yourself in standing position)
• Resist talking to an imaginary character who is sitting in a chair.
• Choose a monologue from a theatrical play, not from a film.
• Original monologues are discouraged.
