Each audition speech also comes with invaluable supporting material - compiled by NYT Associate Artist Michael Bryher - to help you perform the piece to its maximum effect, including:
A detailed description of the play that the speech is originally from
Contextual information such as what's just happened in the play, where the monologue takes place, to whom the character is talking, and what their motivations are
Things to think about when rehearsing and performing the speech
The book also provides extensive advice on choosing a speech, working on it and preparing for auditions, plus tips and first-hand insights into the monologues from current NYT members and alumni who've performed them.
