Ever feel like the only hurdle between you and your dream role are
the outmoded audition (and let's face it gender) norms that many
casting agents presumably adhere to? Tired of stale and lifeless
soliloquies that leave your mouth dry and your spirit in tatters?
Sick of feeling hamstrung by both your material and your imagined
audience? In EBreak the Rules and Get the Part: Thirty Monologues
for WomenE Lira Kellerman will help you infiltrate navigate and
obliterate the arbitrary guidelines that keep you tethered to dull
flaccid monologues and a disembodied stage
personality.THCharacterized by EBroadway WorldE as a complex combo
of prude and seductress Kellerman knows the ins and outs of both
sides of an audition. Onstage she boasts extensive experience as an
actress and dancer a experience that in tandem with her skill as a
writer and proud embrace of her inner dork (despite said dork's
predilection toward words like hella and dude in moments of
emotional intensity) led to the creation of this palpably
empathetic book. Behind the table her many gigs as an acting coach
and casting director have taught her what your most important
critics expect a and exactly how you should surprise them.THShe
brings this knowledge to bear on each original (that's right
original!) monologue in EBreak the Rules and Get the PartE. Every
one-minute piece is emotionally self-contained featuring a clear
internal narrative arc sharp turning points and several beats to
choose from each of which can make the text your own. These comedic
serio-comedic and dramatic monologues are also followed by what
Kellerman terms Helpful Direction: a list of key points that
highlight character objectives and intents several ideas on which
emotions you should hit (and how and where to hit them) and
multiple comedic and dramatic suggestions that heighten your
individuality and personal essence within a piece.THEBreak the
Rules and Get the PartE is the sort of book a showbiz vet at the
top of her artistic game wishes she had when she first entered the
field. Don't fret about getting your foot in the door a kick it
down stride in and make your wildest dreams a reality!
