Intended for students and children taking part in speech and drama
competitions and exams, this book contains a range of audition speeches.
It includes female, male and unisex speeches selected from both plays
and children's books. Where relevant the author has indicated how a
speech could be shortened for younger children. There is also an
introductory section with contributions from Alan Ayckbourn, Carol
Schroder (teacher and examiner for the London Academy of Music and
Dramatic Art), Richard Carpenter (TV writer) and Ed Wilson (Director of
the National Youth Theatre) and senior casting directors for the RSC, TV
and film.
This edition has been freshly revised to include 10 new speeches from
well known recent productions as well as children's books including
Harry Potter.
