Answer 1

If you were really preparing to be an actor you would have three monologues ready to go at all times.   Or do the epilogue from As You Like It or the epilogue from Midsummer Night's Dream.

[Sharon got into a fight with her boyfriend last night. Today at work, as a dental assistant, she discovered a new way to work out her anger. It is after work, and she is talking to her boyfriend.]

Sharon: I've forgiven you. I mean it. I am completely over everything. I was working today and Susan, the other dental assistant, called in sick. It was like destiny smiling at me. What I mean is, I got to work with every single patient today! Do you know there is nothing more satisfying than yanking out people's teeth? I kept picturing each patient was you, and I was pulling, twisting, ripping out teeth left and right! The more they bled, the happier I felt! Then I started using the suctoin -- sucking up people's tongue -- making them twitch and jump! It was great! I was in control. I know they couldn't really feel anything. But the thought that I could be hurting them -- inflicting severe, unbearable pain -- was almost... orgasmic! So honey, I'm not mad at you anymore. Oh, and guess what? Dr. Greene said we could squeeze you int tomorrow. Isn't that great?!

[Faith works at McDonald's. She is having the day from h**l. She has been pestered twice by the same customer. When the customer complains a third time, Faith loses it.]

Faith: Ma'am, I replaced the first burger free cause it "didn't taste right" to you. And the second burger cause you said it wasn't cooked enough. Now you're telling me that this burger is burnt?! You have got to be kidding me. Where do you think you are. This is McDonald's! We ain't serving no sirloin steak! $5.25 an hour and I gotta put up with the likes of you. I'll tell you what. Why don't you come back here, take my greasy apron and my stupid hat, and stand back here in 128 degree temperature and cook your own burger til you're satisfied. Oh, and hey, don't forgot you gotta smile nice for all the customers while you're sweating to death and the French Fry boys are whispering perverted jokes!! No? Doesn't sound like a good old time to you? Well then, I highly suggest you take that burger back to your little table, eat it, and think about how lucky you are that I didn't smush an apple pie in your face. Have I made myself clear? Thank you. Have a nice day.

Good luck!

Answer 3

It's true you really should have a couple monologues prepared at all times. But since life is all about learning I'm guessing after this audition you'll memorize a couple monologues to keep in your back pocket.

I don't suggest a Shakespeare monologue as a quick audition piece. There is alot more to the Bard's works than just the words. For the time you've got you should stick with a contemporary piece.

PRAIRIE DRAGONS by Sharon Pollock

Sarah thinks about running the farm on her own while her brother away fighting in WWII. * this IS from a published play*

Sarah:

Guess who Mama? … It’s me, it’s Sarah. What on earth do you think people would say if they could see me up here talkin’ to a gravestone? “That Sarah Whitherspoon’s gone right silly – silly Sarah Whitherspoon!” But you can hear me, can’t you? I’ve been comin’ up here for how long? Ever since I was four and I’m gonna keep right on ‘cause it helps… I guess you know about Papa? People been real nice since he died, and soon as Ronnie comes home we’ll see Papa gets a stone right beside you and just as nice. Do you think this wooden one’ll do till then? … Sometimes I get scared thinkin’ a things, but you know what I do? I just put my hand around your gold necklace with the little pearl that I never take off, and that helps. Or I come up here for a talk. Things’ll be fine, Mama, I mean I’m sixteen years old. You were married at sixteen, and havin’ babies at seventeen. If you could do that, I guess I can look after things here till Ronnie gets home. I think I can… Do you think I can, Mama?

THE TIME OF MONTH by Meagan Kenney

* not sure if this is from a published play or not*

Maggie:

Why are you looking at me like I have four heads?? I am telling you...the man is stalking me! I saw him with my own two eyes, early this morning, when i was out for a walk. He was lurking in front of Rupert's bakery...I mean, what weirdo is even UP at 4:15 in the morning?! Oh, but here's the real kicker! I saw him AGAIN this afternoon, he was chasing after this little french poodle through the park?! Well, I quickly came to the conclusion that the putz clearly preys upon sweet innocent canine in addition to single white females in their early 20's... So... I marched myself straight to the police station and reported him, as a possible threat to women AND a potential pooch pincher!

I have done some research on places on the internet where you can find monologues of all types, including teen monologues, monologues for girls, women, men, comical monologues, short comedic monologues, etc. I also answer a lot of questions about how to effectively memorize a monologue as well as about common mistakes that actors often make while performing a monologue for an audition. On this page on my site for new and aspiring actors, you will find all that information including links to the types of monologues you are looking for. http://www.actingcareerstartup.com/comic...

Good luck in your audition.
