Good job on a pretty tough piece. Excellent vocal control - making the audience aware of the difference between your live responses to the quizzers from your internal monologue. Focus, eye contact, gesture all spot on. The only thing I'd suggest is being a bit more playful with your inner monologue. Listen to yourself think. That inner voice in your head is full of attitude, subtext, emotional baggage. It is silent, so it has no self-consciousness. Every impulse is acted upon instantly. This is a very smart girl putting herself under a lot of pressure to win and be 'famous'. Do you see how her obsession with perfection and notoriety can be a basis for comedy? Give the voice inside permission to play and have a different emotional reaction to each idea/sentence. This girl ADORES words. Show us how you feel about each word.
Here is the monologue, if anyone was looking for it! Glunch. G-L-U-N-C-H. Glunch. (She opens her eyes, looks anxious, then smiles. She speaks quickly.) I knew I was right. Glunch is such an easy word - spelled like it sounds. But you always have that little moment of doubt that maybe you thought the right letter, but you said the…(Interrupting herself) What’s he getting? What’s his word? …Donzel?! I should have had donzel. It’s not fair. (Suddenly outraged.) He guessed! He guessed and got it! He didn’t know it and he guessed. I could kill him! (Suddenly her public self.) Yes, Ma’am I’m ready. (Listens for the word she must spell.) Palinode? (A huge grin on her face, as once again we hear her thoughts.) Palinode - great! I love that word. That’s the easiest word there is. Thank God! Thank God - I deserve it. I’ve had too many hard words, and he’s guessed on too many. Palinode - a poem in which a poet takes back something he said in another poem. (Public again.) Palinode. P-A-L-I-N-O-D-E. Palinode. (Again she looks anxious until she receives confirmation that she is right. Her grin is almost totally malicious.) This can’t go on forever, buddy. I’m going to crack you like an egg. What ‘s his word? Ovoviviparousness? I know that! I know it. It’s the quality of being ovoviviparous. Why’d he get it?! He’s guessing! I know he’s guessing! Dear God, please let me win! Please! I want five minutes. Just five minutes when all the lights are on me, and all the pictures are being taken of me, and for five minutes I’m the most famous child in America, and Mom and Dorothea see it! And after that you can wash me back into the ocean with everybody else. I don’t care. I’ll just be one of the rabble, hoi polloi, the clamjamfry, the…. (Her public self again.) What? Excuse me, could you repeat the word? Clamjamfry? (Overjoyed.) I don’t believe it! She asked the exact word I was thinking of! (With machine-gun precision.) Clamjamfry. C-L-A-M-J-A-M-F-R-Y. Clamjamfry. (Awed by her own abilities.) I know everything in the world!!!

Thank you so much for posting this! I'm currently preparing for an audition using that monolouge and seeing how you did it really helps.
