Lord Byron Canto III "Childe Harold's Pilgrimage"

[TheBlindPig1]

I am the child king for sure. I raise men, whenst i what a breen. I am the child king. A father child, in ireland. A child so high you are, and all this be but folly to the world. Pope wont you save me they surround me the godless. Not the flesh kind but the spirit ones. I was fucked in the ass today, it was like waking from a knightmare, to a dream, and then returning to thi slumber.

I like the reading. I like the fact that it is fast. The music does distract me, but the reading, tempo and all, speaks to me. It is fluent and clear.

Hey I admire that you made the video at all. I do agree though that the reading is too fast and the music is distracting. I actually can not really hear what you are saying. Better to make 2 videos. Definitely try it again, with no music, slow it down and soften your voice a bit. You don't have to have a British accent-there are American and Canadian actors who do Shakespeare well. Poetry like this isn't easy.

[cynthiadeike]

Thanks. How encouraging.

[toknowthetruthofgod]

I agree... too fast - though I understand the time limit. Also, the music distracts.

[random12344]

thank you thank you!!

studying this while hearing it aloud helped!

thanks!! <3

[cynthiadeike]

You are welcome. It's a super hard read but so lovely. I'd like to think I have two weeks free again to read over it several more times. I do know I could do a better job. Perhaps when independently wealthy?

[cynthiadeike]

I agree, almost.

Not that it's worth nothing, though.

[anaruxandra]

too sad its too quick...so you had a 10min time limit...should have made two videos then and make them start one after the other...like this its nothing worth

[pattycakeyumyum]

It is just wrong to have an American accent when reading - much too quickly - the wonderful words of george gordon

[cynthiadeike]

xenophobia |ˌzēnəˈfōbēə; ˌzenə-|

noun

intense or irrational dislike or fear of people from other countries.

Thanks for sharing your xenophobia with us.

[ajaFSfan]

Well, I don't think it is xenophobia. I mean, it'd be better to hear it with the English accent cause Lord Byron was from England - it'd make a stronger impression.

It's the same with E.A.Poe for example - it's better to hear the Raven with the American accent in my opinion.

And I totally agree with Balthemos...

[cynthiadeike]

Thanks. I can't say I disagree entirely with most of what has been written.

[Balthemos]

spoke to quickly and with no gusto. it was good despite that though.

[jhat21]

10 minute time limit

[Vergilius07]

[vecindad]

[rambo3377]
