im doing this monologue for school and have been stumped on justifying the canned goods situation. i love what you did with it! i liked your accent, and im a georgia girl. so great job all in all, you should be impressed with yourself
I did this monologue except I didn't do the accent, cause I couldn't and I pictured him in his underwear on my bed and I had just gotten back from work. I had to cut it alot because my teacher said it was so long. Only thing I have to say about this, and this advice probably came too late, take a longer moment before to regroup so you can have a stronger begining because you have to get the cast director's attention right away. Other than that, you did way better than me :)
i have to perform this monologue for school and you did a great job! your accent did tend to slip now and again but it is hard to keep it staright through this scene.
well i loved it, personally :) espesially since its theater acting and not film acting its okay that the accent wasnt 100% i think you facial expressions were pricless and you timeing was spot on.
i liked the expression when you said 'canned good' and your facial expressions overall.
however i must agree that the accent was not completely southern. also (having lived in the south) some of your cadence is not souther (example is when you say something nice). also i would appreciate more depth of character. does she really like norman? why would she say this? what is going on before this? answering these questions will improve your performance.
critic's point of view...i used this as my audition piece for school...lol go alittle faster and you lost your accent when you were talking about him coming into your apartment after you leave for work...she's trying to let him down easy not be a buttmunch and blow him off...other than those few little things, GREAT JOB:)))))))
Lol that was funny. especially the canned good bit.
you should try it without the accent becasue there were points where it was there and strong but it slip more often then you thought. Its hard to do an accent at first but if you keep practicing it you'll get it. a southern accent it a tough one for me too.
sorry but this it is Neil Simon and it should go faster...much faster...I say this because I did this monologue an got into both Julliard and the American Academy of Dramatic Arts....also if you cannot susstain the southern drawl all the way throug, it is best not to do it at all..but not bad..try it faster and see how it works...:)
You did a very good job of making sure Mr Cornell had specific placement, but your accent seemed to slip in and out at times. Be sure the accent is consistent thru out and maybe try not to pause between the grievances you are listing. Allow your frustration to build up as you recount all of them instead of stopping to regain your composure after each one.
this monolouge is soooo over done, so therefore i have seen it a countless number of times, but i must say i enjoyed it! this can go either exceptionally well, or just hurendously overacted and monotonous for the fact every girl at some point in their acting carreer will do this monolouge.
any way i really enjoyed your interpretation, just watch your accent. there are times you slip out of it so just make sure to keep it strong throught out.
@sillyness135 she needs that accent to pull it off, in the play the girl is from kentucky and her accent is part of her character and her charm and her comedy :)
I kinda thought "canned goods" was a bit too staged looking, but otherwise good! I'm looking at doing this monologue myself!

Drop the fake accent. Because to the character, they don't have an accent at all. I Would like to see you more hysterical by the end. Let it build.

it was alright. a little flat, and you dropped your accent a few times. take the pauses out, and just keep it going.
