I have to audition for A MIdsummer Night's Dream on Sunday. I have to prepare a Shakspearean monologue that is more than four lines, but less than two minutes. I want to use this monologue:

I learned it for school. My question is, do you think it is a good monologue for an audition? If you don't can you reccomend another one? Thanks. I'll rate high.

I think this is a great monologue, especially for Shakespeare. I reccomend doing a character sketch for Helena- so you understand all of her qualities (it's a very deep character.)
Good luck on your audition!

it is pretty nice. however, and i know this might seem counter intuitive, but you might want to do a monologue from a different play than the one you are aditioning for. with this monologue, the director might see you only as helena, so you are locking yourself in, and if someone is a better helena then you wont get it, and might not get anything else. whereas, if you if you do a different play you arent locking yourself into a role. this is assuming your auditions work the same way mine did where the director just puts you into the role they think youll do best in.

Hi, I've always loved the "I am ashamed that women are so simple" monologue from Taming of the Shrew. Yes, I know, it's politically incorrect, but it is very straigh-forward and easy to follow/understand, and still shows a lot of depth. The monologue you picked- do YOU like it? Are you good at it? Are you comfortable with it?
Good luck!

I think this is an amazing monologue to audition with! It shows all sorts of varietys of emotion, which usually scores well with the judges. Great job! I hope I helped and let me know how it goes! Good luck! -GC07
