The Monologue Audition

by Karen Kohlbaas

Foreword by David Mamet

An intensely practical “how to” book for aspiring actors faced with an audition.

Written by an experienced teacher and illustrated by line drawings and photographs, this book takes the actor step-by-step through the crucial process of choosing and performing an audition piece. All the elements of preparing for an audition are here: choosing the right monologue, analyzing the text, staging, voice, timing, gesture, movement and self-presentation.

“The audition process is an abomination. It is, generally, a tool for unsure and unimaginative casting agents and directors. But, turn it on its head, and we have as Karen Kohlhaas suggests, an opportunity to investigate and improve one’s understanding of script analysis, staging, and self-promotion. What a good idea.” —David Mamet, from his Foreword
