Monologue Types:
* From the Show: This is the most direct way to showcase your understanding of the character. Consider:
* "Omigod, you guys!": A classic. This could be used to demonstrate your bubbly personality and comedic timing.
* "What you're saying is... I'm a dumb blonde.": This monologue is more introspective and gives you an opportunity to showcase Vivian's vulnerability and determination.
* "He's not like the guys at Harvard...": This monologue showcases Vivian's growing confidence and ability to stand up for herself.
* Contemporary Monologue: This gives you an opportunity to showcase your dramatic range and emotional depth.
* Choose a monologue with a strong, confident female character who is passionate and determined. Think of a character who has a strong sense of self and is not afraid to stand up for what she believes in. This will resonate with Vivian's journey.
Tips for Choosing a Monologue:
* Consider your strengths: What kind of monologues are you comfortable performing? What kind of emotions do you excel at conveying?
* Think about the character: What are Vivian's main characteristics? What are her motivations?
* Don't choose a monologue that is too similar to other characters in the show: You want to stand out as Vivian, not someone else.
* Make sure the monologue is appropriate for the age range of the role: Vivian is a college student, so a monologue about a more mature character might not be appropriate.
* Practice, practice, practice! Be sure to rehearse your monologue until you are comfortable with it.
Most Importantly:
* Be yourself! The casting directors are looking for someone who can embody Vivian's spirit. Don't try to be someone you're not. Let your own personality shine through.
Good luck with your audition!
