Well I waited til the last minute, I need to find a monologue for my placement tests next week for AMDA and im kinda stuck, i hated the one i did at auditions, and the song that im singing is "Gorgeous" from The Apple Tree so it should be kind of contrasting which probably mean semi-comedic or dramatic. Any suggestions?

Posted: 6/16/04 at 6:03pmWhy do people think they can perfect a monologue in a matter of days? You should have been working on this all summer. Shame on you. Maybe that's why people don't take AMDA seriously.
PEACE.

Posted: 6/16/04 at 7:17pmI know this is not what you want to hear, but this is what you are gonna hear...a big advancement for your whole career is on the line here. You cannot wait until the last minute everytime, or you will not get very far. Try not to do this in the future and take it more seriously...it is harder than you think to make it big. Idina and Sutton did not go straight to the top. They worked hard to get there.

but then there is the time when you work and work and work and they dont even glance your direction, even though your selection of music was freaking better than everybody elses because you found a song that was just like the style of the musical you were trying out for from a musical that no one ever tries out with and the artistic director even said that it was a good choice and you didn't mess up you just didn't move around as much as you wanted to!

Posted: 6/16/04 at 11:04pmI was doing casting last month and a girl came in. I was looking at her head shot and noticed her resume was pretty impressive. She was in some shows that I really like so I talked with her for a few minutes and than asked what she had prepared. She said she was doing a reading from a classic. She wasn't kidding. She whipped out a copy of The Bible and started to read it. I just looked around to the guys in the room with me in utter disbelief while this beautiful girl who had some pretty impressive stuff under her belt literally sat down and read the Bible as her monologue. I guess she waited until the last minute, also.

Posted: 6/17/04 at 4:05pmYOU waited till the last minute....... Not to be mean/rude.. but in this business you can't wait till the last minute and expect someone else tod o it. As a performer, it is all YOU. And you want people who have NO clue who you are to find you a monologue?? YOU have to find amonologue that YOU connect with.... otherwise it will NOT fly when you walk into that room at all.

Now that we've all said/written/thought "tsk tsk...."

It is the speech that stopped the show so hard that they had to cut the song that followed which was "There Won't Be Trumpets".
It begins "Now Point One...." Its a long speech, a couple pages, but trim it.
The script is at the Lincoln Center Librarry.

Thanks! I acutally had a very good monologue i used for auditions in march. For some reason I cant remember a single line. So I was searching for the same one and just couldnt find it anywhere. I am a procratinator though, something I need to work on, and i wasnt expecting you all to do it for at the last minute, just merely asking suggestions, like someone would ask for suggestions for a song. You are all right in the aspect that i shouldnt wait til the last minute, so next time ill remember not to put my personal problem, just simply say im searching for a monologuedf
