nida auditions choosing monologues
Wed, 10 Sept 2008, 12:15 pmhi I am auditioning for nida this year and I was wondering what sorts of monologues to pick? do they like you to do them all in your normal accent even if the role would normally demand a different accent? what sort of pieces do they like to see done? thanks.
also what are the auditions like, never been to one before!

for nida you need to have three prepared including one shakespeare and one from the suggested pieces. that means you can do two of your own choice and use one of the shakespeare suggested pieces, or you could do a different shakespeare, one of the suggested pieces and one of your own choice.
i haven't done the audition but lots of friends have.and i'm pretty sure that you do one monologue for one set of panelists and then go into another room and do a different one for a different set.(in sydney anyways), then if you get called back they will ask to see the other.
but be very prepared with all of them, if you do get called back they will want to you to play around with them and they'll give you lots of direction, so you need to know them very well so that this doesn't phase you and you forget your lines.
AND RESEARCH THE PLAY that each monologue is from.
p.s i'm pretty sure all this information is in a pdf document somewhere on the nida site.
