Auditions Unit-

Introduction-
In order to gain work actors are required to audition. An actor has very little time or material with which to impress their skill upon the director or the auditioning body, therefore the audition piece has to be very carefully thought about, rehearsed and sweated over.
At this point our current programme of study is to begin to prepare for auditions for drama schools and for Higher Education institutes and will be utilising the skills we have gained. This is the first step for us which will be hundreds of future auditions.

Assignment-
The aim of this assignment is to give us the opportunity to expand upon our understanding of the audition speech and process. It is to introduce us to the idea of knowing our speech and what we can do to maximize our chances of being picked for the role or the place in Higher Education. Ultimately it is to increase the resources that we  draw upon at any audition when asked for a monologue or audition piece. Not least it is to boost our confidence in our delivery and knowledge.

Learning Outcomes-

  1.  Know how to select suitable audition material. 
  2.  Be able to relate vocal and physical performance technique to character and style. 
  3.  Be able to use vocal and physical technique in performance.

  1. Dear Jovan this looks great. Do you think you will use the monologue from 'The Boy on The Swing'? I know when we last spoke you said you had selected some new material? Please could you post that on your blog and tell me why you have selected these pieces? Try and keep up your preparation over Christmas especially with auditions coming up in January. You are a great actor Jovan with so much potential just keep plugging away okay.

    Look on Shakespeare made easy if necessary to support this.

    2. Justify why you finally choose these 3.
    3. List some of the monologues/plays you rejected and why.
