Sound familiar?

"How do I know if this monologue is right for me?"

"How do I go about preparing a classical piece, such as one from Shakespeare?"

"How do I go about picking a piece in the first place?"

"How do I edit my piece?"

"How do I memorize it?"

"How do I stage it?"

"What do they want to see in the audition?"

I hear you.

I've been auditioning for over 30 years and I know how difficult the process can be – from finding a killer monologue to performing that monologue in auditions. I've also directed theater, taught acting and coached monologues for over 20 years. I know how to guide an actor to their best monologue performance.

How it works...
