Make sure that your speech is clear and coherent, although you don't have to drop your accent or affect a posh one to do this. Oh, and if you have trouble commiting the monologue to memory, record yourself reading it and listen to it whenever you have the opportunity!

And let us know how it goes ^_^
The accent and dialect actually depends on the character you play-if you play a posh character you will obviously need to use a posh accent, likewise if you play a cockney character for example, dropping t's and h's etc is necessary to portray it realistically.
