I'm auditioning for a spot in Juilliard on January 27th, 2008. I have a year to prepare 4 monologues. Two classical (one Shakespeare) and two contemporary, after the time of Anton Chekhov.
I'm not expecting acceptance, because they only take 18 people from however many apply, sometimes as high as 2000.
I'm also auditioning for the American Academy of Dramatic Arts, in February of that year.
you arent nervous, it will come when the day comes and then you should be very nervous. When I play in a stadium full of people, Im am very very nervous. I know how you feel.

thanks guys. I have a year to prepare 4 monologues, all which have to be 2 minutes at the very least. I also have to sing 16 bars. So that means I have to take singing lessons this year on top of my acting class. Because when I sing, I kill people. literally.
so here's my time block for the next year: school, manager at mcdonald's (at least 35 hours a week), 4 hours of acting class, and 6 hours of singing lessons.
any ideas? I was thinking of doing a monologue from Uncle Vanya for one of my contemporary pieces, and the Puck monologue from A Midsummer Night's Dream for the Shakespeare monologue
Great of luck to you! I absolutely love acting! And performing, it is my life!
But believe me i was so nervous in performing in front of an audience the other day and it really isnt as embrassing as you think.
