To prepare for our audition day we not only needed to prepare our monologues and speeches to a highstandard to present a professional representation of yourself as an actor.
At many auditions for drama schools the audition process requires the auditionee to be perform either unseen text called sight reading and or to perform some spontanious improvisation with another actor.
This allows the panel to see clearly how confident the auditionee is at working effectivly in a team and also if you are consistent and prefessional and can think of creative ideas quickly.
So to pracise this routine we got into pairs and though about both of our monologues. Then we though about what happened before the monologue as what might happen after the monologue was said.
"School Play"
Who? Charlie a teacher
What? An after school detension
Where? School
When? 3:20 after school
Why? Charlie is doing one of many after school detensions which she is used too as she almost has them every day! she is very angry and frustrated as she just wants to practise for her music exam tomorrow but she is dealing with her a teacher who is not letting her get away with getting out of doing her detension. Charlie complains how "Mrs Fry would let me do it" as she grows to become more frustrasted she then may realise that she needs to start respecting the teacher.
"My Mother Said I Never Should"
Who? Jackie and Rosie's Dad
What? Meeting up for the first time since Rosie's birth
Where? A local park close to where Jackie and her family live in london
When? Late afternoon during the summer holidays
Why? Rosie is giving Jackie a really hard time about her not wanting to raise her when she was born. Jackie is down and is meeting up with Rosie's Dad to get some closure on the situation and talk about introducing Rosie to her Father.
