The Tempest (monologue)

This is the monologue I was preparing for class yesterday.

Perhaps if I'd spent more time rehearsing it on my feet instead of doing it for the camera I wouldn't have choked on it, or perhaps I just shouldn't change my chosen monologue the day I'm supposed to do it.

I performed Prospero in The Tempest last April at The Hen & Chickens in London.

It's from The Tempest by Shakespeare. This monologue is near the beginning of the play so if you just flick through from the start you should find it easily enough.

Wow! Facinating, and very well-spoken. (I can't agree with Urgelt suggesting it was too fast. Your clear understanding and careful pronunciation make it an easy and engaging listen!) I'm currently playing Ariel in Hamilton, Ontario (Canada), and it's a thrill hearing this speech directed "at me" through the screen from the most original Prospero I've ever seen. Keep up the amazing work, and break a leg with all your future Bard-ist endeavours!

Cheers!

- Ariel (and all her quality!) ;)

You appear to make the mistake that many amateur thespians do, in that you speak as if still reading from the text. Remember that Prospero is a real character and his speech would have varied in tone, pitch, weight and speed far more than your reading.

I was very impressed. I am by no means a professional, however I only needed to watch this once to see that you did a damn fine job. I can only imagine what stage pressence you have in person. I just wanted to let you know that this example is now an inspiration to me. Though I dont know you, or may not ever meet you, you have in a way taught me something, and I can only hope that I can develope the skill and talent you showed me.

*goes 2 get Ferdinand-ojisama* Sometimes ppl don't want 2 remember the bad things that happen 2 them. Like right now.

I feel that you are more than capable of taking on such a wonderful role. But you need to read in between the lines. 'Thou,' 'Thy,' 'Thee' are very INTAMITE words. Words that are used to show intamacy and love between characters. "I must once in a month recount whatTHOU has been which THOU forgest." Prospero love Ariel. Ariel helps complete Prospero's person. 'You, sir,' or just 'You' are not intamite. This is how Shakespeare wrote his plays. Think about it. Be gentle and kind to Ariel.

WOW nice!!!

[sexyTchik]

I reckon you are good.

And yeah it's a monologue but i doubt you have that much space to practice around.

I reckon you need to use more space and move about.

Prospero is a very intimidating character in the storyy. You need to show it :\
