Baby, if I made you mad

for something I might have said,

Please, let's forget the past,

the future looks bright ahead,

Don't be cruel to a heart that's true.

[Jeromebaby1A]

I'd like to see things through your eye sockets obnoxious man.

[Jeromebaby1A]

Is your heart filled with pain, shall I come back again?

Tell me dear, are you lonesome tonight?

[Jeromebaby1A]

Well I didn't want to start pulling my hair out or hitting the mirror! Painful and extra on that budget would have caused havoc on the sound and edit. Your brother would have been round 10 then and hardly suitable!

tooooooooo baaaaaad

@onetrackedmind Yes. What you said.

[onetrackedmind]

Sorry to break it to you,but it's very wooden.It sounds like your reading from the paper and not actually understanding or believing what you're saying. Also in the line "Logic Caligula,follow where logic leads" you raise your voice and get angry - , since in the Albert Camus edition of his plays it gives the brackets to convey the line 'Angrily' - it looks like you saw this direction and thought 'right i'll put on a loud voice for this bit'. The conviction and belief of your words are absent.

@Jeromebaby1A

i wasn't trying to cause offence i was merely giving honest feedback. take it if you like but i wasn't intending for you to get offended (if you are).

no hard feelings

im sorry but this is really dry. this lacks emotion and depth. my brother is 17 and doing this monologue for A level and his is miles better than this (yes, naturally i would be slightly biased but this does not change the fact that this is really bad). you really need to work on your expression and your characterisation and to be honest i think you have slaughtered this monologue which is originally amazing. overall this was bland and needs a lot of work. btw i may be harsh, but im honest.
