Some auditions require certain songs, song types, and different types of monologues. When you don't need to have a specific song or monologue, you go by what fits you best. Monologues. If you are the serious actor/actress, you can pick a serious monologue. If you are good in comedy, then you pick a comedic monologue. Auditions usually tell you how long monologues should be. Always time them. Here is a good website that will help you pick out a good monologue:

Picking the right song for you is a picky choice. You have to pick a song that fits your voice. If you have a deeper voice, alto, go with a song that has lower notes. If you have a high soprano voice, use a song that can show that off. Theatrical songs are always the best for any play audition.
