Hey gang,
I'm auditioning for a couple of theater companies in the next couple of
weeks. Both auditions require one song (no problem) and a memorized
monologue.
I thinking of using one of the Old Lady's speeches from "Candide," as I just
played the role last summer. When I played the Old Lady, I used a weird
half-Spanish half-French half-Yiddish accent. (She's easily assimilated,
after all.) For the auditions, I thought I would use an accent, not as
extreme as the performance dialect, but noticeable.
Anyone think that this is a mistake? Should I just go with my normal
civilized East Coast Fluffyan Usonian speech?
