Whether you\u2019re auditioning for drama school<\/a>, a role in a theatre production<\/a>, or any other role; there is a good chance you\u2019ll be asked to perform a monologue at the audition. The exciting process all begins with one key decision: Which monologue should you choose!? If you\u2019re looking for an audition monologue that allows them to stand out, you\u2019ve come to the right place!<\/p>\n Below, we\u2019ve put together a list of monologues that remain eternally popular. Before you settle on one of the below pieces, just be aware that another actor may also choose to perform it as part of the audition round! If they do, you\u2019ll inevitably be compared to them and any other past renditions of the piece the panel has seen. This is by no means meant to discourage you from going for it if you love the piece. If you\u2019re able to hit it out of the park, the panel will be blown away!<\/p>\n Use the below list as a reference point to keep you informed. As always, avoid anything that doesn\u2019t excite you and always make sure you understand the complete context of the monologue before you audition.<\/p>\n Emma\u2019s monologue:<\/strong> Beginning with \u201cI find reality pretty difficult. I find the business of getting out of bed and getting on with the day really hard. I find picking up my phone to be a mammoth fucking struggle.\u201d And ending with \u201cThere are substances I can put into my bloodstream that make the world perfect. That is the only absolute truth in the universe. I am being difficult because you want to take it away from me. So Sorry.\u201d<\/p>\n Carol\u2019s monologue: <\/strong>Starting with \u201cHow can you deny it. You did it to me. Here. You did\u2026 You confess. You love the Power. To deviate. To invent, to transgress \u2026 to transgress whatever norms have been established for us.\u201d Finishing with \u201cAnd if you possess one ounce of that inner honesty you describe in your book, you can look in yourself and see those things that I see. And you can find revulsion equal to my own. Good day\u201d<\/p>\n Fleabag\u2019s monologue:<\/strong> Beginning with \u201cI want someone to tell me what to wear in the morning. No, I want someone to tell me what to wear every morning. I want someone to tell me what to eat. What to like. What to hate.\u201d Ending with \u201cI\u2019m still scared. Why am I still scared? So just tell me what to do. Just fucking tell me what to do, Father.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\nMonologues to Avoid at Auditions \u2013 Female Contemporary<\/h3>\n
