<p>Looking for a good comedic monologue for a female/ 16-20 for BFA audition that is not overdone. Thanks</p>
<p>You really need to find this on your own. Sorry. Just keep reading plays until you find it. ANything we would suggest may not be appropriate for you, is probably overdone, etc.</p>
<p>How old are you, actually? 16-20 seems like a fairly narrow age range. If you are 17 or 18, you could probably play to 25, maybe even a bit older.</p>
<p>Thanks, I am the mother of a senior girl who is searching for a monologue. I will tell her. Thanks!</p>
<p>One tactic to try - look online specifically for the lists of overdone monologues for college auditions, because you already know there is an age-appropriate character in the play. Then get the whole play and find a different monologue elsewhere in the text. It is perfectly acceptable to combine several speeches into a monologue. You don’t have to find a play where one character talks nonstop for 2 minutes.</p>
<p>Great idea. She has her classical one but has been struggling to find another one. She is auditioning for Chapman in October and we know the chances are slim of getting in but will try anyway. :)</p>
<p>Also be sure to read the OTHER plays by the authors who wrote the plays that the overdone monologues came from!</p>
<p>Remember that you are just excerpting one monologue. The play may have not been succesful as a whole, but maybe it has one monologue that is really incredible.</p>
<p>The trick of combining lines to make a monologue can work, but if it is done by somebody who doesn’t know what they are doing you’ll get something that isn’t really a monologue.</p>
<p>Great ideas…such a nerve wracking process and so much to think about. I appreciate your help :)</p>
