How to find an Audition Monologue:
Google "audition monologues"
Find a monologue that best fits the tone of Cinderella
Tip: Best monologues are from full length plays or musicals. Stand alone monologues often lack subtext or depth. In the end, find a monologue you connect to.
Tip: One minute of really great monologue is much better than two minutes of not great monologue.

Change Notes: If you can't do the double turn, do a single turn. You may adjust the leap to something smaller. If the kneeling leg extension is too much, skip it.
