Nice job but if you want some constructive criticism, you should review the video. You look like you're performing. Your body is disconnected from your speech, which makes it seem "presentational". Don't be afraid to move. Delivery-wise, Shakespeare reads like a song. It has to flow. The language allows you to be more animated than you normally would be. Do not be afraid to lean again the wall, hug yourself,etc
@netschbailey My mother decided to let me know AFTER I finished memorizing the monologue that I wasn't allowed to audition :( Oh, well, there'll be a next time...
Make sure you know how you want to have to monologue, how your going to portray it, then watch one of the originals ( play or movie) , if you haven't already. But dont copy it! because then its no fun!! :) But know whats going on, ya know? What I did on the side of my sheet of paper with the monologue on it, was rewrite each line in modern terms, so each time i read it, i saw that too. So i caught the emotions!!
Good, but don't clench your hands into fists like that. It's better to keep your hands to the side unless you are really using them to make a point.

This was good. I'm auditioning soon but am using a different monologue, any tips? I don't know if I should add an accent or just act it out.
