THE SPOKEN MONOLOGUE
The listener now has an opportunity to LISTEN to the SENSE of the Shakespearean Audition Monologue he/she has chosen to perform.  The monologues are read by two professional actors (see resumes).  The purpose of them being read is for the listener to Hear The Sense of the piece.  These recorded speeches should instill a confidence in the listener as to the spoken sense of what he/she is saying; the correct adherence to the verse or prose, the pronunciation of words and titles and the meaning of the speech.  Playing the monologue repeatedly may help with memorization.
