In the post Upcoming public performances, I said “I’m also starting to work on audition monologues, which I will record and post to YouTube once I have polished them a bit.” I have now recorded two monologues and put them put them on a playlist:https://tinyurl.com/Kevin-Karplus-monologues
I welcome constructive feedback on monologues (as comments on YouTube, as comments here, or via email). I don’t expect to use these recordings for anything but getting advice from people, as all the local community theater groups seem to prefer live auditions, but I might well use one of these monologues in a live audition.
So far, I’m working on modern comedic monologues, but all the ones I’ve found are really for younger men. Does anyone know any good comedic monologues (90 s long ±20 s) for older men that are neither misogynistic nor racist? After I’ve done some comedic monologues, I’ll try recording some modern dramatic ones—again suggestions are welcome!
