Sylvia Plath 'the Applicant'

[saffiewaffey]

Please never take this video down. I've been going back to it off and on for three years now. It always brings chills to my spine. Thanks for that

[dolescum79]

wow i loved this, always loved this poem and i was hypnotised by the image and the vocal, i dont think the pronunciation is bad at all, adds a new dimension

[123ijah]

you sicken me.

[starsandsuch]

creepy....i enjoyed the reading, a bit of a different take on the poem

[kikizstud69]

this is horrible. the pronunciation is bad, not that much poetic as expected. there's too much concentration on the effort at faking an emotion here. its more annoying than it is "magical"

[saffiewaffey]

i disagree. I think the pronunciation is what makes it so striking, you have to listen closely to her voice to catch and understand every word, it is hypnotizing. As for faking emotion, I didn't get that from this at all. I love the soft sweetness of her voice and how much it contrast from the poem. An awesome video.

[doryangray]

mmm. i love your video, this voice it is so apacible, so magical, i liken

[killianRZ]

I will defend this video. It is actually a pretty good reading. She reads slowly; the way you are supposed to. Also, her tone makes you listen more closely to the words, which of course is crucial in poetry. The images are also good - - abstract. It is better than videos which try to match the words with images or dramatize a poem.

sick in a bad way

[iwentang]

how bad is it?

[mmmmmabel]

i love this poem!

[FoOneFive]

what is this poem really about?

[cuntraversial]

This rendition is irritating. The whole video concentrates on her voice (which is sweet, but sickly so; passionless). There is no Sylvia Plath in this video at all, just words smeared with almost inaudible, sticky pronunciation.

[stylesavant2]

i have to disagree, this is a horrible reading of this poem. the voice is hesitant to say the words and ends up swallowing them, im not saying its bad to hesitate but you are losing the words and poetry is all about choise of words so dont ruin the poets intention by making them inaudible. you need to pronounce them clearer. your accent is beautiful but dont let the words get lost.

Oblomov l-ai vazut?

[sunclov]

How did you make this video. Did you use a computer microphone, and upload it?

[lisaaflowers]

a brilliant rendition. Hands down. That little voice.

[SpindriftPages]

Holy ... just wow. This is really great.

[iwentang]

thank you

[moshflailspin]

how you use your voice as well as the changing image illustrate the poem so well. thank you for sharing this <3

[honeynutpie]

I love this very much. The voice is perfect. The stops, pauses, inflections...all. I am inspired. Thank you

[iwentang]

thank you!

[carnationsoul]

Iwentang, that was amazing. Your voice is like liquid pearls... you really give quite a life to this poem :).

[itsaase]

amazingly moving voice because of the innocence and youth it implies. the poem itself is amazing, so putting the two together is just....gorgeous.

[iwentang]

I'm so happy to see your words....it makes my day...thank you! ! !

[damuse11]

Wow! Speechless...

[gratiangaldau]

[iwentang]

I hope you also like the voice....
