um, i need a sonnet that i actually understand or that i know what i'm talking about.. [cuz i'm doing an audition & i have to use a shakespeare sonnet] . any help on an easy meaning sonnet? . i want this one. but i have no idea how to stage this.

[Largo64]

@Jennay69x I don't think any sonnet lends itself to staging. Sonnets are designed to be read or recited.

I'm reading Romeo and Juliet...actually more like reciting the play and doing all the different voices..ehhe...it's a great exercise because it also helps with diction...I'm portuguese...thanks for reading this poem so amazingly...

[anatinoni]

that was very refreshing...I'm studying Shakespeare this year at college and I found the most wonderful book which contains all the works the poet produced...all the plays and the poems..it's a hardcover book by Wordsworth Library Collection and it's absolutely beautiful...

.if i were the director i would be saying.... Now Larry...who are you talking to? You are not talking to a piece of wet cabbage man ! Where is the sincerity...? I KNOW you can do better than that...

I did not believe it Larry :( ps...... I Like seeing your face...you have a great face. Boo and hiss to imovie. Will we ever 'SEE' you again ?

[Largo64]

Thou cuttest me to the quick! How shall I survive?

[sarah1ooo1]

I me fair Largo, I do love thee well ! Mine lips wouldst curse the faintest of smiles If thou shouldst die at my wording ! Taketh not my words to your frail heart brave knight....I beggeth thee dear sweet Sir Largo, do not die !

[Largo64]

I shall endure . . . somehow!

[sarah1ooo1]

lol...Glad to hear it ! Phew...that was a close shave.

[anatinoni]

that was very beautiful...very romantic words..^_^

[Largo64]

I hope it isn't true, but in Shakespeare's day women's roles were usually played by boys, because acting was thought to be unseemly as a profession for women. Pity.

[Megganmystery]

i love this...

[FantasticBabblings]

Bravo! The visuals, the language, the reading, all lovely.

[Largo64]

Thank you!

[dovad16]

Refreshing. Thanks for the video.

[Largo64]

Thanks very much for all the comments so far. I really appreciate it. Now that I have iMovie, I don't have to make you just watch my face as I read. I love being able to do video clips, text, music and voiceover (though sadly not at the same time - the music and voiceover, that is). I guess I could play music in the background and do the voiceover, but it would have to be continuous or it would sound terrible. Anyway, more leeway now. When I have redone all the old ones, I'll take them down.

We want more! We want more! We want more!

5/5

[christyell]

Oooh! Oooh! Any plans to do Sonnet 116? :D

The pictures are lovely... are they flowers from your own garden?

[Largo64]

Some are, but I don't do the gardening. Some are from other places. I just like to take pictures of flowers.

[LibertyIsNotGiven]

Terrific reading and nice floral photography.

[phlemdog]

you have an excellent voice for this

[bowlingballout]

Quite Nice. I posted a vid response. It had been attached to your first reading of the 18th. :-)

[DavidRandallCurtis]

Your voice does this piece justice - 5 stars/fav

[newexperiment]
