[sazz2468]

Very well read! I think that's the best interpretation I've heard - thankyou :) It really helped me get the poem in my head as I'm studying it for my GCSE this summer :)

[Harpie]

Fantastic recitation!

[jonathanizstyle]

Wow... Browning has never been one of my favorites: until you recited this work to me... I am impressed, and enamored of his talents. I will seek out more, and try to understand his work more clearly. You are quite something....

[scifiwritir]

Soooooooooo goood! Just the right mix of sneer and stress. I love it. Thanks!

Robert Browning is one of my favorite poets and this captures this poem wonderfully. This and Porphyria's Lover always give me chills, they are so creepy.

[goldfish127]

he has such a way of speaking! such a warm voice

[welshxchickxbbex]

i have to learn one of his poems by tomorrow 23 febuary helppp ( the pied piper of hamlyn )

David Olney is one of the greatest song writes that has ever been!!! Townes Van Zandt only wrote one set of liner notes... it was for David Olney;s album "Roses." I have seen him at least a dozen times... his shows are always great!

[bandamanda]

I just want to say thanks!! I read this poem twice in my lit book and I guess I'm an idiot because it made no sense. I prefer modern english lol.

[ashleypina1]

Same here!

[biggles10112]

You're a freak.

[professorcocktopus]

[biggles10112]

I'll rip your teste sack off you wrinkly old man.

[VanessaDriana]

Lovely performance, particularly the change of demeanour from severity to warmth after "Will't please you rise?" Bravo!

This is the second of your videos I've run into while looking up stuff for my Brit Lit class, and I've enjoyed them both.  This kind of stuff is so refreshing compared with what youtube is mostly used for.

I can't help thinking your excellent voice could benefit from a good microphone. A condenser mic - you can get a decent one for a hundred bucks nowadays. Might take some doing to add the audio to the film, though. Not sure how much equipment you have.

5 stars.

Good performance, apart from the American accent. You really need to be English or German to do it properly. No American has ever been an aristocrat, and the accent is always problematic. If possible, try find the James Mason version. It's amazing.

[koryargonic]

five stars and fav

[independentx0x0]

[theboxinghare]

That was excellent, im doing it for my GCSEs and it is much boring just reading it.

Thanks for that

[alejandre321]

Really outstanding rendition of this challenging poem. Simply performed but with so much realism . Your interpretation is superb, the delivery is flawless. I am at a loss for more words of praise. I look forward to more readings from you.

[nllleonard]

You make Browning come to life!  Have you considered doing Andrea del Sarto? I think you could do it justice!

[lolocaty24]

Verrrry verrrrrrrrrrrry nice!
