Audition Material - Acting

Acting
Please pick a passage from your chosen character.


Pop:
They nearly got me that time...I thought my sweet white arse was toast! I must make haste... I must complete the rebel archive...Stardate May 14th 2304. Although I have yet to uncover the exact date on which the music died, it is clear to me that an
ancient entertainment phenomenon known as "Pop Idol" played a central role. Soon, Popstars were being created at such a rate that they were famous for less time than it took to play their records. Culture imploded, the Globalsoft corporation seized it's opportunity, and the age of Ga Ga had dawned.

Gallileo:
Fools...Morons...Don't You understand you're all slaves? Good! The s-sooner it begins the sooner it's over with. I don't want to programme music. I want to make music. Real music. My own music. My name is Galileo Figaro. I've found it. In a dream. I have dreams you see. And I hear noises, screeching, thudding, b-banging
noises. And words, words drop into my head, too many words. Help! I need somebody. Help! Not just anybody. I don't know where they come from, it drives me mad, all these phrases and sounds, stupid, useless phrases and questions, so many
questions. Why do Fools Fall in Love?Who was The Real Slim Shady? Do you Think I'm Sexy? Who let the dogs out? Who who-who who? It's torture, all I know, and I don't know why I know it, is that I really really really want to Zig a Zig Ah.

Killer Queen:
The Globalsoft board and I have been discussing your recent security memo. We want answers. What of the old librarian you have been torturing? Do you take the texts which he discovered seriously? Rock!...But which rock and where? The whole damn planet's a rock if you didn't know. And what of this 'shining star' that is supposed to guide us? I have had the company's finest astronomers combing the heavens for months. There is no new star. Well star or no star. I intend to blast every rock on Planet Mall to smithereens just in case. Stonehenge! Mount Rushmore! The famed Victoria Beckham belly button diamond! If these grim tools of freedom do exist, I shall find them.


Khashoggi:
Well Madam, we have now pulverised every rock on planet mall and not a single instrument of mass destruction has been found. The legend is a myth or if you prefer the myth is a legend. With respect Ma'am the Bohemians remain dangerous, all they need is a leader. That's all it takes. One young soul rebel, one crazy kid with a dream, a guitar and a bad arsed babe to fight for. Oh but he already does, though he doesn't know it. He does not know himself at all, but I do. I've always had a talent for spotting potential. That is my job. And with the last dream extinguished there will be
nothing left on Planet Mall but entirely untrammelled marketing and completely uncritical consumers. Put them together and what do you get?

Scaramouche: 
Gazzer, believe me there is nothing and I mean nothing more boring than people wanting to describe their dreams to you. Trust me on this, it kills relationships stone dead, the day one partner wakes up and starts saying "it was amazing, there was this rabbit in a bowler hat cooking an omelette" that's when love dies. know about the Seven Seas of Rhye, they're not seas at all, but rivers, rivers that supply a Lake. They used to call it Lake Geneva. The spirit of rock's very strong there. It's where they put the misfits, the rebels. Gaz, I didn't have any dream, I've just reversed the polarity on one of Khashoggi's micro transcievers. I've been monitoring police Headquarters. Pretty dangerous, the cops are bound to be still after us. I say we hide
out here on this mattress for a few days...and While we're here...
  
Britney:
I think it's clear up there Meat I'm going to the surface. You are so stubborn. Alright! So what we got? Sweet sweet music.... If only we could find another bit of wood to bang against the one we've got. Don't change the subject! Your job is to take this stuff back to The Heartbreak. I travel alone, you know that. I can't do the things I have to do if all I'm thinking about is you. You don't mean that. I'll be back. I always come back. And one day I'll bring the Dreamer with me. It's only sleeping baby. It's in a deep deep sleep. It won't be me that wakes it, but maybe one day I'll find the man who can.
  
Meat:
Are you sure the cops have gone? Be careful! I'm coming up too......Yeahhhhhhh! But that's why you love me! Well not much, it's mainly plastic and hydrocarbons. But there's a sheet of tin that we can wobble. And some pebbles that make a nice rattle.
A bottle to blow across. And this great wire to twang. Yeah. Oh you naughty boy, I think I've found a nice big piece of wood right here. Sometimes I wish you didn't care so much. Sometimes I wish we'd never even heard of the vibe. No.... I suppose not but I miss you so much baby. It's tougher every time you go away. Sometimes I think it's us that's dreaming, but perhaps the music really did die.
