How to Prepare for a College Acting Audition

College acting auditions require students to perform a monologue (an uninterrupted speech by a character) to land a role in a stage play, musical or film. The monologue that you choose can make or break your audition. It's best to select, memorize and rehearse a monologue that is representative of you. Also be prepared to do a cold reading where you are handed a script and asked to read aloud from a scene without any advanced rehearsal.

Instructions

    • 1

      Select and memorize a classical or modern monologue. Avoid using monologues that are not from a play.

    • 2

      Choose a character within your age range. Most directors look for an actor who's physical appearance relates to the role.

    • 3

      Plan your audition wardrobe. Dressing in full costume is unnecessary, but do make an effort to look the part of your character.

    • 4

      Research the play you're auditioning for. Read the entire play and familiarize yourself with the setting, theme and characters.
