Okay, it’s only am dram, but still I haven’t been in anything for a couple of years and I really want a decent part in this play. I’ve just been doing a hard bitten New York cop monologue for the last half hour as practice (which as anyone who knows me will tell you is about as far away from reality as you can get) so this ought to be interesting.
So, well wishes would not fall on stony ground. 
Break a leg!
So you’ll be doing an American accent? Just curious, is the play going to be done with accents or is this just a monologue you like?
No, not doing it in an accent - the play is a Restoration comedy so there’s no connection between then, it was just a good monologue (I don’t generally like monologues so it was hard to find one I liked, and this was the best from the book I got to prepare from).
Merde!
Be respectful of the auditioners, don’t be a needy or demanding prima donna, and throw yourself into the part without reservation.
Be nice to the receptionist!
and take direction if they offer it.
Oooh, best of luck tonight!
Good Luck, Buona Fortuna, Illuminatiprimus!
Well I’m back - thanks for the good juju everyone. Turns out I wasted my time preparing a piece as the director made us do an improv scene together instead. I have to admit it was a lot more fun than a rehearsed reading, although I’m a bit annoyed that I spent £10.99 on a book of audition pieces that I really didn’t need.
Let’s just hope I get a part! I should do, competition wasn’t that strong for roles.
What’s the play? Can it be read online? I tried out once for a university Shakespeare production(didn’t get a part) but I had fun watching what others chose to recite. I did Henry V’s prayer the night before Agincourt.
Good luck, and keep us informed!
More good luck for you.
And you’ll use the book later to get a bigger part.
How did it go?
I think it went well, but they’re holding another audition next Thursday (as another opportunity for people to try out, not as a second audition) so I won’t find out if I have a part until after that, probably by Friday. From the number of people at the read through and the audition I did I don’t get the impression that there will be a huge pressure on parts, so I’m pretty confident I’ll get something meaty enough.
