The authors aim throughout is to help the aspiring actor meet that first challenge, auditioning for a part, whether it be in theatre, film or television. She provides pointers on choosing the most effective and appropriate monologue for the situation and goes on to give actors a step-by-step approach, illustrated by line drawings and photographs, that is applicable to any monologue they might choose. Her approach emphasises exactly how actors can rehearse monologues specifically by using both acting and directing techniques to their fullest advantage.
