A GIFT FOR ALL ACTRESSES LOOKING FOR NEW AUDITION SPEECHES.
This is a wonderful anthology of short audition speeches for women. The ones I've used are Alan Ayckbourn's COMIC POTENTIAL, Miles Tredinnick's TOPLESS and Winsome Pinnock's MULES. All three have proved to be winners at auditions that I've gone up for. I recommend Jean Marlow's book for all serious actresses looking for something a bit different. In addition to the 50 speeches there are invaluable notes about how to prepare for auditions whether they're for drama school, theatre, TV or films and there's also an interesting piece by Sir Peter Hall about creative working in the theatre. These speeches got me work, what better recommendation could I give? Great book.

Jean marlow has put together a mixture of exciting and challenging speeches which are great. The diversity of the speeches are exilerating, and help the reader to undertake a totally different role whether it be the use of different accents and dialects.
A good read especially for those you are auditioning and need fresh new speeches to work from, very challenging.
