John Proctor - Crucible "Leave Me My Name Speech"

[JillyCeCe]

He needs to stop shouting. It takes away all seriousness. It sounds like he is throwing a temper tantrum.

@JillyCeCe Was the last night of the show....my voice was a little shot, but I do hear you. 

[jmacjr101]

[michael7885]

[morganreallylovesyou]

He's cute.

[sugarofthesea]

[300maquinadefuego]

Almost Daniel Day Lewis LOL

[jprg12]

He needs to talk more in a firm voice and not scream as much.

[rebe1angel]

A very handsome Proctor....

I'm in a play 'Venegar Tom', similar to this (a witch story), and our director is coming down very hard on us too nail the emotional scenes...

BECAUSE IT IS MY NAME!!!!!

[hinatathecookiedemon]

He's really cute, but I think he could have done so much better.

This speech is my favorite part of the play, and I think he should have made the "Because it is my name" part much better.

[michael7885]

I was john proctor and I saved that hoarse screaming just for the end. but i led up to it with a lot quieter sort of stumbling voice, a confused proctor whose in an argument that he doesnt understand cause lets face it proctors an idiot.

[crazygirl1502]

He's cute, but shouts to much. He should have toned it down and actually put more emotion in it. But that's just my oppinion.

We did this in high school when I was a senior. The crucible had always been my favorite play and I was lucky enough to land the role of John Proctor. We performed it in the round wth the audience so close I had to step over their feet. I had to fight with the teacher/director because he wanted to cut this speech down a lot and I felt it was the heart of the whole play. In the end we kept it and being that close to the audience I was able to see the their tears. It was awesome.

The only problem is that he shouts the entire time and sounds a bit repetitive. If he only yelled during the "because it is my name" part and a few sentences after it, it might have sounded a little better. Great performance either way though

[commonNcrime]

i like this, this is pretty good.

[CaloriesProductions]

the "because it is my name" is a little weak. the whole thing seems a little too fast.

[buckentertainer]

Nah, way to shouty, there needs to be a build up to the "BECAUSE IT IS MY NAME". I dont think he did that well, a lot of important lines were missed aswell, but yeah, way to shouty for me.

[nikkki1r]

@buckentertainer That's exactly what I was thinking. There needs to be a build up of emotion to create tension and i didn't get that from this scene.

[Suitecake]

An amazing film.

I wish I'd attended a school ballsy enough to put this on.

[Suitecake]

@Suitecake Jesus. Did I say film. Play. PLAY. Not film.

I can't help but think of Daniel Day-Lewis in the face of emotion and dramatic climax.

[revaaax]

Very nice !

[CitricLemon92]

hes...attractive.

[landtjump]

This is a good performance for a school, the actor here has done well.
