“I routinely meet actors who are college graduates – of the most prestigious graduate schools for acting, as well as undergraduate theater departments around the country – who say they never learned an effective approach to audition monologues during their training. For high school students it is the same. Many say that monologues and/or audition skills were not addressed at all in their studies.”    Read full Introduction


“Before, I passionately hated doing monologues. Now, I feel like I have a system, a craft. I feel I can take control over my auditioning life and actually make performing monologues a fun experience!" – Jesse Kearney

“I am preparing for an audition, and your monologue technique is the best and easiest ever – it helps me not be nervous at all, and I know I am as prepared as I can be." – Giada Hansen

“Rarely have I come across such a specific and empowering approach to the formiddable task of developing audition monologues.”– Paul Warner, Director and instructor, New York Film Academy

“This book helped me through my first professional audition – it was a godsend. It breaks your roles up into that of self-director and actor with incredible effectiveness. The tips and instruction she gives seem so obvious and ‘right.’“ – A reader in Devon, U.K.

“A genuinely useful tool for actors, funny and informative. The DVD is genuinely progressive and it never flags. I will put the DVD on our booklist for next year.’ – Brian Parsons, Central School for Speech and Drama, U.K.

“I can’ t tell you how impressed I was by the DVD. How I wish I had this tool as a young actor arriving in New York City. Priceless.” – John Summerford
