许多戏剧导演要求演员不仅要用任何背诵的独白进行试镜，而且要用一段专门取自已出版剧本的独白进行试镜。大多数演员都在不断地寻找适合自己年龄的独白，而不是反复使用以至于导演们听腻了的独白。

下面是对年轻女性演员的七条独白建议。每一个都很短，有的短到45秒；有些要长一点。由于版权限制和对剧作家财产的尊重，我只能给你独白的开头和结尾。然而，任何严肃的演员都不会准备一个他们没有读过（并且经常重读）整部剧的试演片段。

So, take a look at these recommendations and if there are any that you think might work for you, get a copy of the play from the library, a bookstore, or online.

阅读剧本，找到独白，并在独白前后记录角色的言行。你对整个戏剧世界的了解以及你的角色在其中的位置将对你的独白的准备和表达产生决定性的影响。
