Monday. Which means I have the weekend to find a better monologue than the one I have (I'm not sure it's a good enough one), and memorize it. But, finding the perfect monologue is so difficult. I might just end up sticking with the one I already have, except I have to figure out how I want to do it. If I'm not careful, I'll ruin it. *sigh*

Look on the bright side, you unwittingly got a point...though I'm fairly sure the person you're auditioning for wouldn't give a damn. :p

Weekend. Right. I swear I keep thinking we're a day ahead. Yesterday I thought it was Friday, and I was about to say "Um you only have 1 day ZG..."

Unwarranted stress, if you ask me. You'll most likely get the part, you just need ignorant people like myself to provide blind optimism.

*looks at tally board*

Good luck with your auditions.

I once memorized Ice Cube's dialougue at the end of Boyz n tha Hood and Musiq Soulchild's "justfriends (sunny)" to audition for the school musical. Then I forgot to audition.

I memorized a French poem backwards, mainly cause my teacher yelled at me for suggesting extra credit cause he didn't think it could be done.

French teachers are known for having bad attitudes. At least where I'm from. I took Spanish... now I'mma be taking Chinese.

Thanks for reminding me of Jin. Or should I say the Emcee.

Jin bit DasEFX's beat from "They Want EFX."

But then again, Jin could riggity-rap circles around diggity-DasEFX.

I don't know about getting the part I want. There are only 3 female roles that are actually substantial, and I'm nervous as hell. Well, at least I did get a point.

I have to cut it to be under 1 minute. IF I want, I can have 2 monologues each at 1 minute... but I am having a hard enough time with the one.

Just do Cuba Gooding Jr.'s part from Jerry McGwire. Easy part. Four words long. Just yell it out.

So what exactly makes it harder than any other role you've auditioned for? I'm not gonna pretend to know anything about acting, but I'm sure if you go through the same rituals you usually do there shouldn't be a problem, especially since you've done it before. Sorta like, an incumbency factor...but not really.

So could you summarize the main characteristics of this character in 3-5 sentences?

SHOW ME THE MONEY :lol:

Well, this is a monologue audition, and I've never done one before (not like this anyway). And I really want a good part, but unfortunately, there is a lot of favoritism in theatre, so I am kinda worrying. But, I'm sure I'll figure it out. I hope. Maybe I'll ask CaptHayfever if he knows any good monologues I can do. Big theatre major he is, and all.

Or I could just take Bomby's advice.

So you can do any monologue you want? I thought it had to be a character from the play. :confused:

Do you want me to make your competition content? I will work for cheap...

Oh wait, I'm not supposed to offer those services anymore. If you had gotten to me a week and a half ago...
