Audition script to use

Please use the short passage below for your self-record. Read it in the voice of the role you selected. This is a staged reading, so a clear, grounded read matters more than polish.

Test monologue script

I have spent so much of my life learning how to make my story smaller for other people.

Smaller so it sounds easier to explain. Smaller so no one gets uncomfortable. Smaller so I can keep moving.

But when I tell it honestly, it is not small at all. It is family, distance, language, memory, and every room I have ever had to enter twice just to be understood.

So I am done pretending this voice should arrive quiet. I want to say it clearly now, and I want to be heard the first time.
