A few Audition questions

<p>So first of all I plan on transferring in the fall for a BFA.
I'm a much stronger actor than singer but I do hold my own with singing. But for Fredonia there is a part of the audition called The Aural and notational Skills test. Does anyone have any information on this? Is it just for placement or will it reflect badly on me if I am not great at it? This is a skill I am working on but am not very good at.</p>

<p>Also, I wanted to get some advice on the monologue pieces I am choosing to have ready because I know some of you may have gone through auditions, sit in on them, or just know what not to do better than I.</p>

<p>So I have to have at least three ready on whole for the schools im auditioning for, i'd like to possibly have four just in case. I only need a classical for one school and the rest contemporary contrasting.</p>

<p>So far for my classical I was thinking of doing The Daughter's monologue "Why should I love this gentleman?" From Two Noble Kinsmen</p>

<p>And for one contemporary piece Miss Fitt's "Oh, but in Church Mrs. Rooney" from All That Fall by Beckett. </p>

<p>Now is the tricky part because that contemporary piece is hard to contrast within the contemporary realm. I don't know if i would place it among comedic or dramatic because it could really depend on the delivery and the tone often changes. I know i don't have to go stark one comedy one dramatic, but i don't really want to pair one like this about an inner struggle with something like love. I guess I'm just having a hard time finding what i would consider a comedic monologue. I've been searching through my anthologies of plays and looking at plays available online and I just cant find any light-hearted monologue i connect to.</p>

<p>anyone have thoughts on any of my post? I’d really love your input</p>

<p>hi i’m not going to be any help, but i am having the exact same problem. i know noone likes to give actual material suggestions but any ideas?</p>

<p>You might try over in the Theater and Drama section. Monologues are tricky.
Good Luck!</p>

<p>I was also wondering though if you had any information on the aural and notational skills test and how much it beared on my acceptance. Main reason i came here rather than theater/drama. But I will post the monologue part there as well. Thanks!</p>
