First and last impressions are critically important to how your audition will be received and remembered, so finding a monologue that has an impactful or affecting first and last line is going to be highly advantageous. Getting off on the wrong foot with a dull, listless opening is a surefire way to lower expectations of your abilities, and ending on a flat note can take the shine off of what might have otherwise been a very impressive performance, so it’s essential to keep that in mind when selecting your monologue.

That said, there are many terrific monologues that don’t begin and end with bang, but that doesn’t mean they should be passed over; it simply means you have to find a way of investing drama and significance into those opening and closing moments yourself. And you can do that…because you’re a talented actor!
