[PabsA95]

I'm reciting this poem in class tomorrow and I'm really excited! I think you're way of expressing each was character was FANTASTIC!! I loved it!! :D I don't think I can say it as amazing as you have :) Really great job!!

[iDemo4g]

I'm doing this in a few days at school, in hopes of going to state, but I should be going regardless... I'm confident.

[xcelover11x]

one word: amazing

[LifeWithEyesWideOpen]

good job!!! :))

[Feldoom]

Meh... I found the contrast between the voices too much, not to mention its meant to be a darker piece.

[harrythehairyhippo]

Loved the acting and voice changing accents! It brought the story to life! Great job!

[yoshin8or3490]

@harrythehairyhippo Thank you! I am glad you liked it :)

[furbitoe]

you are pretty.. good.. and cute.. with a nice voice! :D

[yoshin8or3490]

@furbitoe haha thank you!

[completelyCRYSTALLLL]

How far did you get in the contest?

[yoshin8or3490]

@completelyCRYSTALLLL I actually didn't go past the PBS studio round. I think they were looking for something more serious. 

[laloali2]

@yoshin8or3490 that was so entertaining though! what a shame. if you recited it any differently i would have been bored out of my bones! im performing "famous" by Naomi Shihab Nye for my class tomorow... im so nervous...

[yoshin8or3490]

@laloali2 Thank you! Good luck tomorrow. I hope you do well!

[glowstick34]

[yoshin8or3490]

[mccartybh]

That was very enjoyable. One of my favorite poems. I know I had fun reading mine aloud and it was evident that you enjoyed reciting your as well. Thank you for the wonderful entertainment.

[yoshin8or3490]

[ireneey7]

My Best friend also does poetry out loud:) you did a really great job. Are you suppose to stay still when you recite the poems?

[yoshin8or3490]

That's cool! Thank you :) There are no rules about staying still when you recite. None that I know of, anyway.

[adonaisp]

Good god, you are superbly talented!

I've not stopped laughing!!

That was the most hilarious performance of poetry I had ever seen and I mean that as a compliment! It seemed like a conversation between Vito Corleone (the spider) and Vivian Ward (the fly) reported by a henchman called Chico!

My sister begs to differ.

She thinks that the spider sounded like Moto Moto (the hippo from Madagascar)!! But she's five, so she loves you too.

Thank You, Breathlessly.

[yoshin8or3490]

Thank you so much for your compliment! I really appreciate it.

I hadn't really researched the voices much- I just dove into it and showed my drama teacher what I'd come up with and he liked it so that's really where they came from- nowhere!

Again, thanks, I'm glad you liked my performance :)

[tutupink]

you are hilariouss! awesome job. out of all the videos i've seen of people performing poems, you are by far my favorite :)

[yoshin8or3490]

Thank you so much! I am really glad you liked it :)

[themegaforces]

wow this is really good! im doing this poem on monday for an exam and i hope i do as well as u!

[spinachhoney123]

This is very very very good.

That's how I would do it.

But we can't act it out.

:)

I'm going to state in Oregon.

I'm so excited!

[yoshin8or3490]

Thank you! Hope you do well in your contest!
