It is hard to find a dude interested in Shakespeare these days! When I say I like his work they all say I'm a poser! I like the story of A Midsummer Night's dream better then Romeo and Juliet though it is good. Puck was my favorite character and was great in the Sisters Grimm series! You will be great in any play :)
You definitely have the skill to play this character. Just, don't play it like he's saying, "Whoah, whoah, whoah. I'm sorry, there's no need for violence." Puck is, to be blunt, an asshole. He gets his kicks from playing pranks. He's telling that people to grow a set and deal with what they saw, and if they can't, then just pretend it didn't happen. Well, maybe not so aggressive, but you get the point.
You are VERY talented! Fantastic diction really brings the genius of the words to life.
Two things: 1) Remember the scene in context - he is sending the audience away after seeing magic and fantasy & tells them that if they're offended to get over it b/c fiction is fantasy & no more real than a dream. Try it impish with condescension. 2) When he says "give me your hands" he means clap for me if you liked the show. that is the primary meaning.
i play the same part in our school play! But, I'm a girl. :) But I think the role suits you... I only think that you talk a bit fast. Some pauses make it interesting.
When I do this scene I walk around a lot, jumping and skipping. But maybe your interpretation of Puck is a different one. All in all, well done!
This is good, i'm doing one of pucks speeches for an audition, but i think you need to think more about puck's character in general, he loves mischief...and revels in others misfortunes...so he doesn't care if the audience were offended, and he most certainly isn't honest, he's a very crafty character. So maybe try it with some sarcasm and boyish charm :) but well done on the language.
i have alot of respect fot you as an actor but your reading shakespere acording to rhyme scheme i personally think it flows better if you go by punctuation. it makes it sound like your actually a person speacking not just resiting a peom but i do as i said have alot of respect for you as an actor
excellent indeed, you know what strikes me is his tender age; he has such a dominion of the language, and I know loads of people who can barely read loudly.
OMG, you rule...

I've usually seen women playing Puck, but this kid's features suit him perfectly - ethereal and impish.
