2 monologues peformance infront of panel??

Question

Well i did 2 monologues infront of a panel of 3 today

felt absolutely confident walking in greeting them then when it came to one of my monologues i forgot the line. i tried to think but it wouldnt come to me does anyone know how to prevent this and know why it happened to me???

Answer 1

It could be a case of nerves. It also could be that the monologue you used was not quite ready to be performed. You may not have had it memorized enough, or not practiced it in front of people. Make sure you over prepare yourself for an audition. If you are so comfortable with yourself and the piece that you can "drive-by-monologue" friends & family, you should have no problem with an audition panel.

Answer 2

it happened to you because you probably had nerves

know this sounds wierd but a way i prevent stage fright is i chew gum and drink water before i perform
