monologues and costuming

hey guys I am reciting a monologue as part of a audition. It is Viola's monologue in Twelfth Night (i left no ring with her).. i have been told to where a costume that will not limit my movement. So basically something that adds to the character but is not distracting. Any suggestions??? Thankyou

In reference to above 'Not distracting' was one of the criteria. Limit your colour pallet, (black or grey) keep it dull so that the focus is more on your acting skills that's what I'd say. I don't really know anything too specific about the character (or the play, I've only read/studied a few Shakespeare works) I'm sure someone else here will be able to help you though. _____________________________________________________________ Currently working on: "Boy Banned" a fusion of live acting, video footage, corny songs, syncronised dancing boys and egos!

Well, at that point of the play, she's already dressed as Sebastian - so you want to go with something that's not overly feminine. Pants tucked into flat boots, and a button-up shirt with rolled sleeves? Nothing too modern or too historical. A baker boy cap would work well too, with your hair tied back, as long as the cap's not obscuring your face. Good luck!
