(Comes in excitedly and sits down, practically bouncing up and down in chair)

(speaking loudly)

"Can you believe it? i didnt until chris burns came up and told me about it in geography and then mr.goodman told me himself during the eighth period in the office while i was eavesdropping. Arent you so happy you could bust?

(gets up, turns and walks around other side of chair, smiling)

Beat

Tillie? (say this as if tillie is not really paying attention)

(kind of pacing back and forth, staring into space re-accounting what happened)

(speaking quieter now)

im so proud i cant believe it mama. didnt she tell you yet? oh, tillie how culd you? Shes fantastic, mama. shes a finalist in the science fair. there were only 5 of them out of hundreds and hundreds. she won with all those plants over there.

(speaking louder)

theyre freaks. isnt that a scream? dr.berg picked her himself. the principal!

(sighs happily and flops back in chair)

its sounds like the character is really hyper and fun. You could run aroun the stage a lot. Just stay in constant motion, even if its just waving your hands or jumping up and down, and you should be fine!Monolouge/audition help!!!?
The important thing is to be incredibly excited. You should almost be out of breath at the start. I'd start "off-stage" (out of everyone's view) and run back and forth a couple of times, then come RUNNING in and start the delivery. THAT will make the entire monologue exciting, and everyone will be listening. (That's the whole key to a successful monologue! If no one is paying attention, you lose.)



Practice it that way too. You almost don't need to get every word exact, as long as the emotion of excitement is there.



When you get to the "sister" part you REALLY have to kick it up even more excited, like you're going to burst out of your skin!



Use the chair to grip onto it when your excited, as though it's the only thing keeping you from floating. (You're THAT excited.)

One summer I helped do casting for some independent movies, and the potential actors had to do a scene from the movie and also their own monologue on any topic as long as it was the character delivering it. The ones that really got into it with passion were the best. The ones that concentrated more on getting every word exact seemed phony. If you practice this enough, you'll have it down.



But like I said, get yourself almost out of breath before you start it, and everyone will be paying attention to your every single word.



Do that and I guarantee you'll ace it!



Good luck hon! Sounds like fun!
