Product Description
From Amazon
The Ultimate Audition Book is not fancy, but it's just what the working (and aspiring) actor is looking for: a treasury of well-chosen, short monologues from many time periods and sensibilities that enable an auditioner to make a positive impression fast. What could be better? Jocelyn Beard draws on a variety of writers, including Aphra Behn, David Mamet, George Bernard Shaw, Anton Chekhov, and Samuel Beckett, with enough surprises such as Suzan-Lori Parks and Jose Echegaray thrown in to make the selections flexible for today's growing multicultural arena. The monologues are organized by century, which is perhaps not the first thing an actor considers, but there is ample material in the mix of male/female, comic/dramatic, classic/contemporary, and romantic/political roles.
From Library Journal
This latest entry in the publisher's popular monolog series contains choice selections from mostly major dramatic works for brief auditions. Written from the 15th through the late 20th century, these excerpts derive from some of the world's great dramatists, including Moliere, Mercy Warren, Oscar Wilde, Eugene O'Neill, Christopher Durang, and Harold Pinter. The book is divided between women's and men's monologs, and each work is prefaced by a very brief contextual paragraph. Auditioning actors should find this a valuable resource. Recommended for theater arts collections in high school, academic, and public libraries.?Howard E. Miller, St. Louis Science Ctr.

By A Customer
This review is from: The Ultimate Audition Book: 222 Monologues, Two Minutes and Under (Paperback)
This book has a good range of monolugues. But if your looking to really looking to learn how to audition, set yourself apart and create your own projects, read Twelve Step Plan To Becoming An Actor In LA it's a new book and it is the most helpful book i have found in the last coujple of years.Tom Saryory NYC

By A Customer
This review is from: The Ultimate Audition Book: 222 Monologues, Two Minutes and Under (Paperback)
Wow this book is great. I know that all the monologues in this book are at least 2 minutes and there is a great range of dramatic to comidic. All the monologues have dates by them so you know if they are classic or modern. Buy this book!
3.0 out of 5 stars
Not bad. A wide time frame, from centuries to a few years.,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Ultimate Audition Book: 222 Monologues, Two Minutes and Under (Paperback)
It isn't bad, it contains numerous monologue types. The comedy monlogues leave something to be desired.
