Heya, is this for the finger in the pie thing? I'm auditioning for that soon too. I've done loads of auditions, acting, dancing and singing, and to be honest each one is completely different-what you do in one may be right, but in another it could be seen as wrong, it's annoying! So the best advice I can give is to do a monolgue that has a clear beginning middle and end, in other words one that goes somewhere, and to play a character you identify with in some way. Don't be afraid to look the auditioners in the eyes when performing the monologue, unless it's one of those where the character is talking to herself or pondering aloud, which I find don't work too well in auditions anyway.

Song-wise, pick one that shows your full vocal range, and if you have trouble keeping time when singing acapella (I do!), tap time with your heel or discreetly against your leg. And make yourself physically relax, the notes will come a lot easier.
