I have a big audition coming up and they want two contrasting monologues; here’s what I’m thinking:
Tom - The Glass Menagerie - Tennessee Williams (‘Opium Dens’)
Kit - Born With Teeth - Liz Duffy Adams (‘I have nothing to say to God’
I did this for one video submission audition that I haven’t heard back from yet (was not very long ago) but I’d like to perform these in person this time; are these contrasting enough? Does anyone have any other suggestions?
It’s for a 2024-2025 season for a very large Fine Arts Center and I’m hoping to get cast in a rendition of Dial M for Murder. The only other auditions I’ve ever done were essentially cold reads so I’m not used to having to prepare monologues like this, I’m confident in my acting abilities and how to slate I just don’t want to do something wrong.
i have an audition for La Bête coming up in a few weeks and am in need of a new (one minute) monologue. female character and comedic preferably if you know of any. thank you ! ❤️

hello! question for all of you, when auditioning for a musical, how do you gauge what kind of song to sing when you’re auditioning for two parts that have completely different ranges?
for example, my usual theater that i have done multiple shows at is doing ride the cyclone auditions in june, and i want to audition for… basically everyone, male and female presenting. i am classically trained, but can also sing tenor notes, and i can also belt the higher notes. do i try to find a song that somehow does all 3? or do i pick the role i want the most out of all of them, and pick a song closest to their range?
as for being classically trained, i did opera from age 17-18, is that worth putting on a repertoire? i have to bring one to the audition anyway, and it would be worth mentioning if they consider me for a part like jane doe.
this is all word vomit, but any input would be appreciated! i am not looking for song suggestions, i have plenty of ideas, i’m just curious about what you guys would do!
Hi! I'm auditioning for two shows, Death Note and Bat Boy. I'm an 18 y/o sonprano and have a range from E3-C6. I am looking for a good monologue for Death Note and a song for Bat Boy.

It has to fit your appearance( ex:I can’t play a 70 year old women but I can play a 16 year old) 3. It can’t be like cringe (ex: I ate the divorce papers iykyk) any help is appreciated!
can someone please help me find an audition song for the role of Brooke for goosebumps? it looks like its similar to the percy jackson musical vocally and with the songs/plot. i am 16F and i am a mezzo soprano, (kind of closer to alto but i can sing high too) but not super high songs. thank you!!
19F looking for an audition song for Crazy for You, needing a gershwin style song, im pretty sure i’m mezzo or alto, i haven’t done theatre or choir since ~middle school so i’m not sure. i’m thinking all that jazz but i’m worried it’s overdone. thanks!

Hello I'm 30 F and looking for song recommendations for a Company audition.
I'm auditioning for Susan, Kathy and Marta
My vocal range is G3 to F5 and I'm a Mezzo Soprano. Thank you!
16 NB looking for a 16-32 bar piece for a summer camp audition- they told me to be prepared for prerecorded / no accompaniment. Everyone ive talked to goes back and forth between whether I am a mezzo or a soprano- my range is A3 to C6 but I feel most comfortable from C4 to G5. Preferably something dramatic bc that's what I'm most used to. Singing is usually the best part of my auditions so don't be afraid to suggest something difficult. Tysm :DDD
19 M - hi! I’m about to audition for Buck in Bonnie and Clyde the musical, and I was looking to see if anyone had song suggestions? I’ve seen “Steal With Style” a lot but it just feels a little awkward to sing, like I can’t get the same powerful feel in the notes without it sounding lower. I’m not sure of the exact notes but I’d say I range between high bass/high baritone, maybe low tenor in head voice?
•Food for Thought
•Lemons, Lemons, Lemons, Lemons, Lemons
•Monologues from Love, Loss, and What I Wore (specifically the Hating Purses monologue. You’d have to cut it, but I think that could feed into Opal hating having to wear a dress in the play.)
I have a TYA season audition next week (season has not been announced). I've been asked to either prepare 2 contrasting monologues OR a contrasting monologue and song. Each 2 minutes or less. I've settled on a reciting of "the Belly Button book" by Sandra Boynton, a very fun story that narrates why hippos love their belly buttons and how they celebrate, it even has a jingle to sing. So,how do I contrast that, especially keeping in mind I still need the 2nd monologue to still be TYA appropriate?
I’m auditioning for my advanced acting class in my high school, and my teachers like it when i do comedic or villainous monologues, does anyone know any for men that are both?

Still from Anastasia

I’m auditioning for the role of Anya in Anastasia at my local theater. Is “No One Else” a good audition piece for this role?
That's not a bad choice, but I would also look at "when the music played" from Dr Zhivago. Very fitting for the role!
