This review is from: Audition Monologs for Student Actors: Selections from Contemporary Plays (Paperback)

I had less than a week and a half to find a monolog and was having no luck till i picked this up in the school library. Wow! what a great book! i found the trouble was to pick one! this is an incredible book and i recomend it to anyone. please note that thesemonologs are from plays, so if thats what the director wanted then this is a great book to pick from. I was hooked by the first 5!

This review is from: Audition Monologs for Student Actors: Selections from Contemporary Plays (Library Binding)

This book is useful for Hollywood actors but for those in the theater industry, its a toughy due to the fact that casting directors or collegiate judges want monologues from established plays and most of the monologues come from Shakespearean events, which is basically events where playwrights hope to get there name out.... basically, the plays aren't established. So if you audition for local theater or indie stuff, hollywood area productions.... great, but for NYC auditions, stick with something else,
