You’ve found a great monologue… now what? Successful auditions take more than memorization - they require a clear, structured preparation process that allows you to fully live inside the piece and best represent your talent.
In this workshop, we’ll break down exactly what that process looks like. Through discussion, exercises, and individualized coaching, you’ll learn how to:
Choose strong material and prepare before you speak your first line
Use script analysis and sensory work to personalize your piece
Rehearse productively and understand what “performing” a monologue really means
Redefine success in auditions so you can focus on the work, not the outcome
Open to all levels; whether it’s your first audition or your hundredth, you’ll leave with a repeatable, adaptable process you can use every time.
Participation Options:
Work: Prepare a contemporary monologue (90 seconds max), fully memorized, and bring a hard copy. No Shakespeare or musical theatre.
Work-in-Progress: Not fully memorized? No problem, just bring a hard copy and we’ll work from where you are.
Observe: Gain insight and practical tools by watching the process in action.
