What is a great classical monologue to audition with for college auditions?
Kudos to the answer below; I would contribute one specific suggestion. Select something that fits the character/show that you are auditioning for, and one that is not frequently used. Professors and directors in these roles have heard the standard auditions for Romeo, Juliet, Hamlet, Lady Macbeth, Lady Bracknell and Oedipus a thousand times each. If you are auditioning for a Shakespeare play, look at Coriolanus or Love’s Labour’s Lost for that monologue that demonstrates your skills.If your view of ‘classical’ is not equivalent with mine (pre-20th century), the same principle as above applies; find an equivalent play/piece that shows your skills while avoiding well known shows like The Crucible or The Glass Menagerie. Break a leg!

There are a couple of great monologues that you can find here: Male Monologues.In general, however, you should have a couple up your sleeve, the reason being that a monologue you perform during an audition should come from a story and/or character that is similar to the part you are going up for.

Are there any good female monologues for auditions that are not about love?
Mara, there are many non-romantic monologues that are available to you, but the key point is what kind of play are you auditioning for? Is it a classic (Shakespeare), drama or comedy? If classical, I would suggest Lady Macbeth for a few good potentials. One modern drama potential that I can think of would be from Albee’s ‘Three Tall Women’, or Tom Topor’s ‘Nuts’ has a few good pieces. There are so many comic pieces that I’ll leave you to it. The key point is to make the piece you choose match up with the role you want, emotionally or spiritually - then put in the work and break a leg!
