Testimonials: "After endless hours searching for that 'right'
monologue I stumbled across a real gem titled 'Director's Fury'
penned by Albert Jamae. I have chosen to perform 'Director's Fury'
at Manchester's Monologue Slam as it is a cracking no nonsense
piece and will really grab an audience's attention, as well as this
I have now been introduced to a marvelous collection of monologues
that I plan use at many castings in the future. For those looking
for a monologue that is a little bit different and individual but
yet can still hold a good sense of reality, then Jamae is your man
" Leo Flanagan: Actor - Manchester, United Kingdom. "I have been
teaching adults, teenagers, and youngsters 7-10 yrs old, recently
for Industry Actors HQ in Brisbane, and have used a great deal of
Albert Jamae's scripts in the workshops. The scripts are mercifully
short, relevant and interesting, and most importantly, students
relate to the situations. The scripts allow actors to make a
variety of choices to enhance their performances. I thoroughly
recommend these scripts to all drama teachers, casting people, and
of course actors who should have the volumes online and in hard
copy waiting for that time when they have to produce a monologue at
a moment's notice " Sue Manger: Casting Associate - McLeod's
Daughters. Casting Director - The Young Doctors, Bellamy, and
Australia's Most Wanted. "Hooray for an original Australian
audition manual This will be a great addition to any Australian
actor's bag of tricks; concise, entertaining and in our own
vernacular." Caitlin MacDougall: Actress - The Alice, Always
Greener "This audition manual is a great idea and a must for every
actor. There are few around for an Australian market and few that
are as simple and straight forward in delivery and style. It will
also be a useful tool for Casting Directors, with unique and
interesting pieces to work with in order to see various actor's
strengths and weaknesses." Wizzy Evans: Casting Director - The
Secret Life of Us, Last Man Standing
