The Tempest (monologue)

*goes 2 get Ferdinand-ojisama* Sometimes ppl don't want 2 remember the bad things that happen 2 them. Like right now.

I feel that you are more than capable of taking on such a wonderful role. But you need to read in between the lines. 'Thou,' 'Thy,' 'Thee' are very INTAMITE words. Words that are used to show intamacy and love between characters. "I must once in a month recount whatTHOU has been which THOU forgest." Prospero love Ariel. Ariel helps complete Prospero's person. 'You, sir,' or just 'You' are not intamite. This is how Shakespeare wrote his plays. Think about it. Be gentle and kind to Ariel.

WOW nice!!!

[sexyTchik]

I reckon you are good.

And yeah it's a monologue but i doubt you have that much space to practice around.

I reckon you need to use more space and move about.

Prospero is a very intimidating character in the storyy. You need to show it :\

[Fitzgilbert]

You appear to make the mistake that many amateur thespians do, in that you speak as if still reading from the text. Remember that Prospero is a real character and his speech would have varied in tone, pitch, weight and speed far more than your reading.

It's from The Tempest by Shakespeare. This monologue is near the beginning of the play so if you just flick through from the start you should find it easily enough.

I was very impressed. I am by no means a professional, however I only needed to watch this once to see that you did a damn fine job. I can only imagine what stage pressence you have in person. I just wanted to let you know that this example is now an inspiration to me. Though I dont know you, or may not ever meet you, you have in a way taught me something, and I can only hope that I can develope the skill and talent you showed me.

interesting. shakespeare on camera with just your face is hard to convey. well done. i couldn't understand a lot of the words because of your accent and the mic technique you applied and i don't know the play... but none of this comment would apply if i were watching it performed live.

cheers,

Why is it cut?

[bismark6666]

Crap

[Lothriel]

Wow! Facinating, and very well-spoken. (I can't agree with Urgelt suggesting it was too fast. Your clear understanding and careful pronunciation make it an easy and engaging listen!) I'm currently playing Ariel in Hamilton, Ontario (Canada), and it's a thrill hearing this speech directed "at me" through the screen from the most original Prospero I've ever seen. Keep up the amazing work, and break a leg with all your future Bard-ist endeavours!

Cheers!

- Ariel (and all her quality!) ;)

[marysiak]

Thanks, and I hope your show goes well.

[Inobsession]

v good

[marysiak]

thanks

[Urgelt]

The Tempest has to be Shakespeare's most disturbing work, and your Prospero picks up on that and runs with it. I expected cognitive dissonance to see a slip of a woman in Prospero's role, but you pulled it off convincingly.

I have only one preference that wasn't fully satisfied. The Bard's prose is too archaic and too rich for ready comprehension by modern audiences if it's performed rapidly - especially American audiences, heh.

[PsychoBatcave]

you are very good

[marysiak]

Thank you.

[davesgame]

Wonderful!

[marysiak]

Thanks.

[Castconcrete]

Not because of you but just to come back to the Country I left in 2001.- Aahh, now I feel better. Thanks for giving me some distraction.

...and you are beautiful. And when I think about it: Saying that is not superficial at all. People should more often say that if they mean it.

Bye, Thorsten (North-Germany)

[marysiak]

Thanks. Good luck with your thesis.

[Castconcrete]

You - are - beautiful.

Sorry for being that shallow, but I´m in the middle of my MA thesis, and I think I unvoluntarily seem to suppress any kind of deeper thought or anything connected to Shakespeare or any other English writer.

Wish I could come to London right now.

Very nice
