This review is from: Classic Mouth: Monologues from Classic Literature for Boys and Girls (Paperback)

I am a 13 year old actress and I found this book helpful. The monologues are very different, so you could probably just use this one book for all your audition needs! This is one of those books that you just have to have on your shelves.
