<p>This is certainly an interesting discussion. I would like to reiterate the point that your looks, and your type, are the things you are least able to change about yourself. Maybe it is good self-knowledge to have an idea of what type others see you as, or where you stand in the looks spectrum, but I’d like to think these kids won’t obsess about whether they have the “right” or “wrong” looks. </p>
<p>Just be who you are. I agree that the monologues you choose should be ones you can connect with; probably it stands to reason that they then will be appropriate “types” for you as well. Maybe in choosing a list of schools to apply to a student might feel that they do not fit in at some places - perhaps that has something to do with looks, style, or type, as it can for anyone choosing a college. </p>
<p>The only thing you can bring to an audition is who you are, and to show that to the best of your ability.</p>
