Jay Brannan - An audition monologue...(*)

[iTYx555]

Nice, very believable.

[andrews4774]

got to about 1:40 and I was suddenly like "...this is from that song isn't it -_-"

[juncloudy]

kinda cute and funny XD

[AmelaRocks101]

isn't that based on a song?

[bluepastry]

another POV

[TheDizzyredhead]

awesomness :) a little over acting at some points but good all the same, ice choice btw good luck wth it :)

[almostfamous730]

Genius!!!!

[thegreatcaitymarie]

i love this song so much hahaha this mmd

[DramaGirI]

hahahahaaha! I really didn't get this until "Would she have your baby?" lol! Good job crying too....

[MrSport1234]

nice work. you should put this on quotetube

[lilaKlavender]

i know this video is really old but I'm going to comment any way. I think you have a good start to a great acting career HOWEVER I think that you were focusing a little too much on the crying and predetermining where your emotions should go instead of letting them take you. but good start. :)

[forbidden69dreams]

a bit of advice never use a song a as monologue.

[bncsdy]

hahahahaha



[147yearsplustruelove]

cool choice

[jjcool117]

the intent is a bit confusing. but its good

[samup07]

i like this one, btw loved you in shortbus, do you know of any others that are good, because i'm looking for one too.

[kilalayasha]

YOUR A HOTTIE AND I WOULD WATCH ALL OF YOUR MOVIES

[GigmongerStine]

When on a movie set, the director will get pissed if anyone looks into the camera. The reason being is that it breaks the illusion. Those of us watching are supposed to be watching something that we are not a part of. We are just a silent witness to it. When you look at us (the camera) you've included us and have acknowledged us and it very much changes the dynamic. When you do your next one, do not acknowledge that there is even a camera there. With that said, I see your potential. :-)

[STONRUNNIT]

@GigmongerStine it's a monologue, at most casting calls and auditions you are suppose to play to the camera.

[GigmongerStine]

@STONRUNNIT You are 100% correct. :-)

[YesHeWillHold]

Tears. Tears of laughter. "You. You. You." Great job.

[LovMeeXO]

Hehehehe!!!! =)

[jjbaiaymailcom]

were u in the movie Shortbus bc u look and sound just like one of the actors in it the one who had a 3some with the jamies

[sanipcino]

@jjbaiaymailcom yes he is

[Dieghini]

Bravo! You are good but you should use another text. You better sing Alanis, she's a genius!

[JazzPaige]

[angelzulma]

[angelzulma]

great! i guesss you already got the Agent, didn´t you?

i love Alanis too!

[marriedtoajason]

GOOD JOB!!! I almost didn't recognize the song.

[FloufleVii]

I'm so cracking up! XD

[WaleskaActs]

Wow, I LOVE it. Good for you. Great job. Hope you get the agent :)

[prozach805]

bahahah.... if it wasn't so sing-songy it'd actually be a really good monologue. go alanis

[augustblue10]

wow thats really really good !! i hope you get a good agent!

ps:im also trying to get a agent got any tips?

[jkgymnast49]

oh alanis morsette

[Gabespressions]

HAHAHAHA! loved it! if people thought you were serious they obviously haven't picked up from your music that you're way too intelligent a person to of done something like that seriously.

hope that agent thing works out. ;)

[dreamerboy6]

ROFLMAO!  How did anyone not know that this was a joke!? XD Maybe it's just that I'm a die-hard "Jagged Little Pill" fan. All that aside... wow, great acting!

[EliotRayLugo]

hahah I love it even though its a joke!

Alanis would be proud.

[NewBrazdolph]

LOL

[NoiselessSounds]

Totally didn't catch the fact that it was a joke. :O

[RawrrAbigail]

although this is a joke xD

you still did a good job (:

<3 lol.

[ZM88]

this is hilarious! i can't believe some people dont know this is a joke lol

[duckaphant123]

articulate more

[Fantasyink]

it was good, but you can pick it up a little. there are alot of long pauses. i would also change the words a little so that it doesnt seem you took it right out of her lyrics. but you have great emotional responses. great mono.

[chadchavez]

im sure that alanis moresette would be proud of you .. but i fnd a bit of truth in every actor and if i ever find the smogalistic bastard that hurt you ill kill him with my bare hands

[TrevorHarris93]

nice job dude, you called on your tears very well. there were a few times when it almost looked like you got out of character for a second but hardly even noticable.  very well done =)

[Nieccie]

What song is this? You might say it later on in the vid but I didn't feel like watching the whole thing.

[bbraswe2]

Are you kidding me?

"Is she perverted like me?" Should be all you need.

[Nieccie]

Sounds like a Britney Spears song, but honestly I've never heard it.

[bbraswe2]

Google, baby. Google.

[Nieccie]

Oh...You Oughta Know by Alanis Morissette...

Never ever heard of it.

[diomaris86]

This was awesome

[crazy1emo1]

omg jay! your a really good actor. i saw you in holding trevor. i love that movie so much! it made me cry. and that like never happens when i watch movies. :/

[maywong537]

I love you Jay

[bonjourbabex]

wow your really good at acting! i know its a joke and stuff, but jeez your good lol

[Kohavena]

I thought it was for real! the acting is great!

[MicGraph555]

hahahaha. this is great.

[nifrued]

lmao  you you you ought a know!

[avonne100]

I haven't heard this song, but the acting was actually pretty amazing! You're good!

[blizzaire08]

HAHAH I was taking this seriously until "is she perverted like me" and then I started cracking up.

alanis morisette is such good monologue material

[chemicalpyro154]

it made my day jay i loves the whole thing it was priceless and the last line was just to funny have a good one

[cyranothecat]

would much rather see an actual monolouge from a play or a movie...keep hands away from face.... like to see more energy without it being so pausy and drawn out.... very nice face and eyes..

[rhapsodyswept]

Hilarious. I'm also impressed that you managed to get through the entire song, because I wouldn't have been able to do this without laughing. :)

[shishi53]

:)) joke? that was really good!!

[CMYKatelyn]

Oh god. I'm having college acting class flashbacks. This was pretty much spot-on.

[benjmw]

wow!

it's alanis morissette!

i love this song!

[jumpydum]

Jay,

You kinda Krazeee in this one.

[pr4tor]

Rofl

[suvesi]

that really made me loves os hard ! you rock !!!!

[lizzee23]

i am looking for the same thing.

and i have found one thing that has helped me alor on my journey is that you should never put your hands in front of you face. as it blocks the true raw emotion and people will get distracted from that specific movement. its much more powerful. believe me!

[take4andcut]

HAHA i had to look up the video & song just to remind me what song it was. and it made me fucking laugh when i saw the real song lol. good one.

[PrivateCliqueSeries]

Ehmagawd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!! LOvE THiS Song@!!!!!!!!! And Alanis Morrissette. And it was GOoood. I dont get why everyones so uptight about it. Do they know its a song? Like, OMG.

[cjaguar1]

what song is this?

[RyanShortFilms]

Excellent But To Many Pauses! Pause as much as you wanna when you become a real ACTOR! :]

[sexymodelboy]

horrible!! bad reading and awful pauses. awkward movements and just off.

[willsbob123]

Well, if i was judging you out of 30, i'd say 28. You didn't quit have the focus in your eyes but you're a SUPERB actor!!!! BRAVO.

[kseke25]

i have to say the laugh surprised me. It was sort of psychotic.

[scottdanielyoung101]

Yeah I had to turn my speakers up cos I couldn't hear him. then he belted out spontanious chuckling scared the shit out of me!

[AleckShell]

After 10 sec's just was not able to hear what you were saying. I just stuck to your eyes and tried not to starting crying... unsuccessful... you're genius... thank you for entering my life....

[splendaemily]

still genius after 2 years.

[brendaleema]

Ahahahhahahahahahahah

ohhhh my goodness. you make me feel like downloading this song..

this is cute hahaha

[nverstegen]

I am a dutch girl who found this film because I was searching for a monologue I was practicing for my audition.

But you are great! Could not stop watching your beautiful face. And yeah, you definitely are a good actor :) Bravo!

[mooglewoogle]

It's always really weird when people use song lyrics even when just making fun... lol. But I loved the sarcastic feel of your acting in this... lol

[darrenfl0512]

BRAVO!! The emotions of the lyric were both visible and audible and I Sir, would say you have been through the very emotions the song writer jotted down. Bravo, Indeed!

[escomz]

hey my audition for a play is tomorrow and i don't still know what a monologue is. hahaha.

[cjeanlew]

jay. you are wonderful. and i laughed the whole way through. :)

[xxlittlemsvixenxx]

good acting.....but id leave out the crying....it was quite struggling to watch!!!

but you would defo go far.....!!!!!!

[BlairDevlin]

the end was interesting but i have to say i loved the rest of it

[vmgvj]

you've got passion

[twirlingmadlyxx]

haha.

even if u were joking ur a good actor!

if u got into acting u could go far!

xoxoxoxo

[toma5672]

you're good even it was a joke ;)

[outfitmadeofawesome]

LAWL!

[ActorLevel6]

um, CFI, it's not good. at all. second of all, it's Alanis he's quoting. as far as his acting goes, he took all the raw emotion of what she wrote and threw it away! it's not good just because he's semi-crying. that's not acting. it's reaching. but i do agree with the rest of your opinion.

[llamalover887]

that laugh in the middle scared the shit out of me.

[dicarolinae]

lol! Love this song actually but think its hilarious wat u've done... but hav 2 say u are pretty good even if it was just for a joke

[nemorock7]

very dramatic n good x

[aytches]

ha.

[mdawg2346]

Haha. Nice! You almost lost it at the end.

[RuMyDreamGuy]

LMAO! You crack me up!

[ChristinaSings]

ahahahahah amazing.

[CFIsMyGod]

I think it's good but it's kind of weird that it's a woman's words. I'd go for something involving more physical and voice acting, also including different types of emotion to show range and level of entertainment.

[kakari100]

what song was it?

[Janebenney]

This is soooo funny!

[crockspe]

That's good but you're thinking too much about your expressions.

[anthonypb710]

gosh this is great!!

youre so cute and this one is pretty hilarious, but it's still great=]

haha nice one

[Melancholio74]

love alanis. she is great and i love your performance here... very nice.

[jeaniebaby001]

ROTFLMAO

[xoxJB]

Lmao, so funny.

But, the pauses are a bit long.

[BeckTheDeck]

Oh, my God...that was seriously amazing. Even though you meant it as a joke, is was amazing.

[OpiumPawala]

Well done, indeed...haha..Alanis Morissette never sounded so good...lol...The song's stuck in my head now....The mockery is superb...

[Lecylibertine]

Well done mate! i love your voice, u have great feeling in the tone and you really tell the story and how u feel in your eyes!

Whats this from?

Take a look at mine mate and tell me what you think:)

[carlifarli]

you are the dogs bollocks. amazing.

[KyleActor]

remember, the important part is not to feel alot, but to feel accurately

[ashash1995]

Wowzers! You are like the next thing since sliced bread! What made you cry though? like i can't cry on purpose, were you thinking of boiling puppies er somethin?

[Draic85]

That's hilarious! Not so much the execution, but the idea, and that you pulled it off with dedication, even if not complete sincerity :)

Must've been hard repeating the chorus and trying to get it to sound natural each time. Kudos!

[natalia123456789]

well the beginning is slow. after maybe 1:30 it gets good.. work on the beginning. and believe me I know how hard it is to find the "perfect" monologue, im trying to find one myself

[greenpaper007]

the moment at 1.27 is cringe worthy

[1love2be]

Just one thing tho... you repeated yourself... other than this you are very good.

[1love2be]

You GOT the part!

[waveboi93]

how did you cry on cue????

[hjaeko]

your voice is very, you know, a voice that you'd expect to here on tv. very theatrical.

[theconjuration]

Epic fail.

[greenpaper007]

in the proffesion ladies and gentlemen we call this having a wank on camera/

tbelievable/ not connecting with the text,

[caitforsure]

LOL i love how you're tearing up the entire time. classic.

[californiababe01]

ZRackity!!! What a great idea! I myself have been working on a monologue! Tell me what you think: "I can show you the world. Shining...shimmering...splendi­d, tell me, prince... no princess, when did you first let you heart decide... A WHOLE NEW WORLD!" Needless to say... it's a work in progress!

[ZRackity]

You know, I really think that you should compose some music to this monologue and then turn into a song..YEAH that's what you should do. I'm currently working on my monologue here's some of it: "Oops, I did it again... I played with your heart... I got caught in the game, Oh baby baby" I could barely get through typing that, it's so emotional!

[sasku12]

I know this! This is Alanis Morrisette right? I cant remember the song. Excellent. well done!

[gravitysong]

how talented can u be? This was great!!

[nickmad]

oh my gosh ur so good, i'm crying withh you

[mnbutch]

Haha. I'm a play director. I would totally cast you.

[jakinvela]

hey, this was pretty good. I like the whole teary-eye approach you did. Made it pretty believable.

[goldorly]

There is no belief in your eyes!! Its funny and its ok, but your not believable!!

[WhiippedCREAAM]

it was good, but it was sorta boring. sorry, but thats just my honest opinion. maybe you should try doing it standing up and move around just about. not much.. but like in certain parts you could add some movement. good overall though.

[goldorly]

Bit boring...Put some life into it.

[guschez21]

Weren't you in the movie "Shortbus"??

[kyla122]

i thought it was pretty good!

[greenjeanbean]

So awesome. real genuine feelings. loved it.

[Karkar82]

This is BRILLIANT! lol

[grbnmar]

lol! loved this! yup, think ill use Alanis lyrics @ my next audition

[trysissy]

That almost made me cry! lol. I didn't realize it was a song until you said the chorus the second time. haha. Anyway, I'm an actor as well, stage, and even though this was a joke, I commend you! XD

[yumxx]

lol that was so cheesy

and exaggerated

sorry. trying to hard here buddy

[mistersjmcg]

you got that very camp thing going on here.

[TheJacobCastroShow]

Well if you ever auditioned for a part, you would get it with this one. Nice job.

I am an actor also, I am trying to get out there in holloywood but theres just alot of teens my age that want in also. But who knows maybe that perfect audition will come around.

[kirrabeachbum]

what kind of camera/webcam do you use here dude?

[musicriseup7]

omg i love this lol im such a dork

[skateforlife94]

its good, but theres way too much pausing imbetween statements

[sarahisatool]

hahah that was great!

[AnotherTeenRebel]

Wich popsong is this again?

[Bfolks84]

U know I've used a Nursery rhyme as a monologue before. This could be a really good monologue, but u could have a lot more going on that just tears and a quiet voice! U have good access to ur emotions, now just put an action on that bad boy and it would be good!!

[polkadotbox2]

Wow! That is true acting! Sheryl Crowe did a fantastic job singing it, but didn't move me with the song like this performance does.

Whatever part you want, it's yours!

[WalkAlongMyPath]

You almost made me cry..even you made this video as a sarcastic joke..I love it..I think this would Actually make a GrEat Audition piece :) Well Done :)

[whorebag000]

LOLL

[emilymae002]

lmaooo

[minutte23]

hot

[damonkeith]

haha. brilliant. thanks.

[bluemoon014]

I Love It. You made a comedy but yet you took this so seriously. And you were good at it. keep up the great work and if I were an agent I'd sighn you.

[nichya87]

Now try it with Gimme More or something xD hahaah jk

u'r so cute, when u make that sad face I just feel like giving you a hug or something hahaha

[LittleLwilder]

LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[manthie2]
