Hamlet - To Be Or Not To Be (Second Perfprmance)

[porhmonkey]

No no no! You are doing it all wrong! It is so unbelievable! Hamlet is thinking about suicide! You are thinking about getting your lines done in a very egotistical way!

Good energy.

Couple notes:

"That flesh is heir to" - "heir" is pronounced with a long "a" sound and a very soft or no "h" at all, like "air".

"Is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought," - "sicklied" is pronounced with a long "e", "sickleed", and "o'er" is one syllable. Shakespeare did that to fit the meter. Think "oar."

"With this regard their currents turn awry," The "y" in "awry" is a long "i" sound, "aw-rie".

Really use the language. Try to not blow over words. Use the sounds.

I love this soliloquey, it is so epic and deep! Amazing performance! I would of loved to seen it. :)

Good job - I admire your obvious passion and devotion to performing and Shakespeare - the class would have loved you doing Hamlet in front of them!

[aprister1]

What class? I'd be happy to do this again.

[rpmblues]

You are doing the speech in front of a school CLASS, who would have appreciated seeing your live theatrical performance - that's all!

[MelancholyNorweyan]

It's different doing speeches like this in an audition setting, where a part might be on the line. I'd find it much more difficult to "perform" in a classroom. With that it mind, good job.

Your gestures are good, but at sum points u lose control of your voice a bit, but good job though
