monologue contrast and appropriateness for auditions

Appropriateness for auditions-

Hero's monologue from Much ado about nothing- I chose this monologue because The character is close to my own age, so I can portray her believably. Its also by shakespeare, and many auditions require a shakespearian monoologue. It will hopefully stand out as its not an overdone monologue in comparison to some of shakespeares other plays. I also like her point of view as I get angry when people can only see the bad aspects of a person, so I can relate to her opinon which will make it more believable.

Alex's monologue from As we forgive those-  I chose this for my contempary piece (many auditions require a contempary monologue). Its not very well known yet it is from a published play, so I will be allowed to use it but it won't be overdone. I can use the "magic if" to help me relate to it as I have a sister and know how terrible I would feel if I had hurt her, but I also know what its like to feel anger towards her as we have argued in the past, so in auditions I should be able to show feeling through the monologue. Its also lasts around 1 minute 40 which fits in with most of the specifications. The character is also in my age range and has a similar accent to me. This piece would be suitable for a serious audition but not for a pantomime or a childrens theatre audition etc. 

Nina's monologue from The seagull- I chose this monologue as it contrasted to the others as it was written in 1890, the monologue itself is very abstract as its being said in a play within the play!, and its quite odd and hard to grasp but this may make it interesting to a panel. Once again the character is within my playing range and I can use my own accent for it (as I can't do accents). its the right length so it wont take forever to perform and it changes emotion throughout so it won't get boring and I can show different emotions through it.

contrast-

1. They are all from different timezones-shakespeare, contempary and 1800's
2. They contain different styles- serious, abstract, naturalistic and angry/comedic
3. The dialect differs- old english and modern
4. The characters are all very different- they live in different times and their personalitys vary from troubled and angry to sweet and innocent.
