Question
hi Wanda,
I was wondering if you could help me chose an audition speech. I am auditioning for The National Youth Theatre in February and I need to have an audition speech no longer than two minuets to perform to the panel.
I have been told to select something age appropriate and that shows off a wide range of my talents.
I am
-14 years old
-I have played "Juliet" in "Romeo and Juliet" so i have some experience of Shakespeare.
-Tall
-mature with brown hair and green eyes
-Bold
-Fun loving
Is there any chance you can think of an audition speech to fit the above characteristics?
thanks
Ele

Answer
Hi Ele...Thanks for writing and for your question.  And congrats on your audition.

Well, have you looked in libraries or online for monologues for teens?  If you google that, there are some options for you.  And I know that there are also monologues for your age specifically in the library.  

Does that help you?
