    About this ebook

    Prepare your audition repertoire with the most innovative monologue series to date-Audition Arsenal! Are you tired of buying monologue books only to discard half of the pieces because they are outside of your age range? Not anymore! The first four books in this breakthrough series are for: Women in their 20s, Men in their 20s, Women in their 30s, and Men in their 30s. That means 101 monologues per book, 2 minutes and under, that are all usable by you! And it gets even better. The Audition Arsenal books are organized by type so you will have dynamic, memorable, contemporary monologues that demonstrate your ability to handle any role. Each type is defined by a specific personality trait, allowing you to showcase the qualities crucial to a particular character or role. In addition, choosing contrasting types is a great way to show your range in general auditions. The types are broken down by tone-comedic, dramatic, or seriocomic. Searching is easy, accurate, and fun!

      I love how there monologues are taken from plays. It's more obvious that I'm speaking to someone with a particular point of view.

    Brittany: thirty-seven

    Comic

    The office of a slaughterhouse in a small Illinois town. Brittany is instructing a new employee on filling out order forms. She speaks quickly.

    BRITTANY: You’ll like working here. And being the new girl’s kinda fun, ’cause all the married guys hit on you. Oh, and when you’re done with the form, don’t forget to sign your name on the bottom, like so. I like to dot my I’s with little hearts. I think it’s love karma: You know, that if you put enough hearts out into the world, it’ll make that special someone fall in love with you. So far, it hasn’t worked, but it doesn’t hurt to try, right? To be honest, I haven’t had a boyfriend since grade school, but I know the perfect guy’s out there. He’ll be tall and built and handsome and collect Beanie Babies just like I do. Jeannie O’Reilly in accounting says I’m gonna die alone ’cause I act like a twelve-year-old, but who wants to act like they’re thirty-seven? Jeannie also complains I talk too much. Well, I can’t help it if I start talkin’ about, say, I dunno, Justin Timberlake or the Olsen Twins, and suddenly it’s twenty minutes later. Jeannie and me were best friends for a while, but she avoids me now. I guess ’cause she blames me for her nervous breakdown or something. You know, we should hang out some time. Jeannie O’Reilly is a whore. You should come with tonight to my church group, we’re doing Christian Karaoke. It’s just like regular karaoke, but you sing songs about Jesus. Most of them are just normal songs, but they change a few of the words. My favorite I do is Joan Jett. (Singing to the tune of I Love Rock and Roll.) I love Jesus Christ! So put another dime in the church box, baby! I love Jesus Christ! So come and take your time and pray with me! You know, stuff like that. Jesus hates Jeannie O’Reilly. So will you come? People are starting to look at me funny there, and I don’t want to have to go again alone. So you’ll go, right?

    Rachel: late thirties, a splendid neurotic approaching one of her many midlife crises

    Comic

    Rachel is applying for a job. She is talking to the president of the company.

    RACHEL: Oh, hobbies. I play tennis? Well, I used to. Not so much anymore. I like reading a lot. Well actually I enjoy spiritual books a lot. Well, I’m sort of a Christian. Well, actually my parents are Jewish, but I was always attracted more to churches than temples. It just always seemed like people coming and going from churches were a lot happier than the ones at temples. You know it was the difference between — (She mimics the dark, tragic Hebrew chanting.)

    Aiughhhhhh!! And —

    (She sings.)

    Oh Tidings of Comfort and Joy. And, then I remember laughing hysterically the first time I heard spoken Hebrew at a Jewish wedding. My mother had to take me out into the hall — that was the beginning of the end of my relationship with the Jewish faith. Anyway so I became a born-again Christian when I —

    (Frustrated that Mr. Johnson tried to interrupt.)

    — when I went through my first midlife crisis. I went through it at thirty. One of my many therapists was a Jesuit priest. So my priest slash therapist said if you are ever confused with what you want to do just watch what you do every day. At the time, of course I was much too crazy to understand what that meant, but the past couple of months, while I’ve been taking these interviews with your firm, I think back on that
