The World Went Quiet

Choosing a piece

  • Choose a character close to your child's own age and experience: panels want to see them, not an impression of an adult.
  • Keep it short. For most children's auditions, under a minute (about 8–12 lines) is plenty.
  • Funny or lively pieces often suit younger actors best: they show energy, timing and confidence.
  • Check the brief: school plays, LAMDA exams and agencies each ask for different lengths and styles.
  • Practise with a partner. Our AI scene reader can read the other lines so they can rehearse anytime.

Questions parents and young actors ask

What is a good audition monologue for a child?

A short piece (under a minute) spoken by a character around the child's own age, with a clear feeling or want they can relate to. Comic and lively pieces from family films, animation and children's TV work well.

How long should a kids' audition monologue be?

Usually 30 seconds to a minute. Always check the audition brief; school and agency auditions rarely want more than a minute.

Are these monologues age-appropriate?

Every piece here is filed by the character's playing age (12 and under), so nothing was written for a teenager or adult. Parents and teachers should still read a piece before choosing it.

Can my child rehearse with someone reading the other lines?

Yes. Open any scene and use the scene reader, which reads the other character's lines aloud so young actors can practise their cues.
