Performance Requirements
ACTING
Prepare two contrasting monologues not exceed 3 minutes in combined length. The monologues must be memorized and can be from any source, although plays are preferred. Tip — the best audition monologues are not "stories.“ Look for monologues in which a person is speaking to another specific person with the intent of changing them or getting something from them.
