I will cover a LOT about monologue selection and building a kick-ass repertoire of monologues for auditions, and for clips on your pages, that show what you can do and feature your range. Includes info on when and when not to do “overdone” monologues; cutting and editing; and the “Hello, this is me” monologue and why this kind of monologue is so valuable for actors. I'll also coach some monologues, let me know if you would like to perform.
