You'll never know what they are looking for. All you can do is take the monologue that suits you the best, perform it the way you see the character, rehearse and rehearse til you're deaming it and ask other people around you to see it. It is so important to get used to performing it in front of people because the way you behave is always different and more inhibited when others are there.

It doesn'T matter if you foget a line or two in the audition, it's important to know how your character feels about everything, to know them inside out so that if you do go blank you can keep focus and keep going. That's the only safety net you have, knowing everything you can about the person you are playing. If you focus on how you look and sound (though it's important to be strong vocally) and what everyone else is thinking it'll only stop you from giving your best. A good book is Dean Carey's masterclass for men or women,(I'm sure there's a copy at the Alexander Library) at the beginning of the book are some exercises that help you discover the detail about your character, I've found it helpful in the past.

So anyway...relax, enjoy the chance to show your abilities and if you don't get in and you believe it's the only job in the world you can do there are heaps of other ways to go about it, maybe you'll make it without the help of a school.
