Really good tips, both the one about avoiding accents or facades, and the one about having a clear dynamic progression throughout the monologue, good things to keep reminding yourself of :)

Great tips there - especially like the "self affirmation" advice. Currently coaching my 11 year old daughter on audition techniques once she knows the lines thoroughly it's all about the self-belief after that.

so i'm auditioning for a theater school next year and i found a monolouge that i thought was quite interesting and relates to me from the internet but i'm not sure if i should actually use that one because it's from the internet. help?

I love this video, the tips are magnificent. I'm going out for my first audition in about two weeks and I am very confident now. Thank you :)

Why do we learn accents if we must not utilise or show them off.
