Shakespeare & Company Audition

To get into the Semester Conservatory at Shakespeare & Company, I had to make an audition video of myself doing two contrasting monologues (Cassius from Julius Caesar and Phoebe from As You Like It) with a short interview where I answered a list of questions they gave me. I got in! Not my best work, but I thought I'd post it anyway. Thanks to James for filming/coaching a little.

It is FAAAAAAAAAAAR from apalling. Both speeched need some work, but she is talented and is heading in teh right direction. She needs a director to push her and get her to relax....and focus everything on the person she is speaking too. Once she has a handle on that...she'll be very good.

[ethanthelionheart]

She is letting the language work. The speech needs some direction, but shes on tehe right track

Appalling. Shouting and being confident does not a good actor make. Let the language do the work.
