<p>Hi, I'd really like to do "Coffee" from See What I Wanna See but I cant find the sheet music. Does anyone here have it? Also would that be appropriate since it was considerable drug references. </p>
<p>Also I'm having trouble with monologues. Any book recomendations? Most I find are so cheesy I put them down immediately. </p>
<p>Another song I'd love to get the sheet music for is Remember Me from Little Fish. </p>
<p>Thanks !!!</p>
<p>I don't have either of the pieces you're looking for, as for appropriateness of the song, I heard that the rule of thumb is that if you're comfortable with the song, then you're fine with that piece. I don't really think that an auditor will be caught off guard with a lot, not to mention drug references. I bet they hear a lot of... risque stuff... o.0</p>
<p>As for monologues, I suggest getting plain-old monologue books and reading through those. If you find a monologue you like, PURCHASE THE SCRIPT AND READ IT. Make sure that the monologues are from a play, not a playless monologue nor from a movie. For that matter, a couple of the colleges I auditioned for last year said that they didn't want a monologue from a musical either.</p>
<p>As a rule of thumb, don't do monologues from musicals, folks. Do monologues from PLAYS. Freedom's advice to begin with monologue books is sound, but you can also just go to your local library and read as many plays as you can get your hands on. Library systems often also are happy to order stuff for you from other branches, so do that, too. Keep in mind, too, that some schools want classical monologues, so begin looking right away.</p>
<p>I am sending you a PM.</p>
<p>An audition coach helped us find great monlogues that were age appropriate and were a perfect fit for my D's style...well worth the money!</p>
<p>I do have Coffee -- I was looking at it... are you thinking of it as an audition song for colleges? It doesn't cut particularly well into 16 to 32 bars. What section where you planning on doing? The "I could use a miracle" section?</p>
<p>Yeah, I figured I'd get the sheet music for it and go from there. If I couldnt cut it down I figured I'd compete with it anyway, so its pretty much a win-win.</p>
<p>The best money we ever spent was on a monologue coach. I got plays from the library. Purchased several on line. D worked with a few at summer musical program and still no luck. Finally, we got a monologue coach. She got to know my daughter and her style and found the perfect monologues for her. It was worth every penny. D was extremely confident about her choices going into auditions.</p>
<p>Monologues</p>
<p>Some excellent monologue book can be found through Samuel French, I like the Best Monologues for Women/Men of [year] published annually. If a monologue grabs you then read the entire play. See if you have a desire to play the character, it's important that you have a strong feeling for it.
There are also some monologue websites, and as stated above, look only at monologues from plays. I prefer established playwrights-I do this kind of coaching-and I believe it's important for you to become familiar with some of the major playwrights which I"m sure you will during this process. Good luck and enjoy the process!</p>
