an actor prepares. Well, here is the beginning of my in depth study of Hamlet. I have been offering a journal, if you will, of what its like for an actor to take one monologue and 'work it out' and now with all the great feedback and support i have decided to continue to learn the entire role of Hamlet, in hopes of playing him someday...Jude Law, do you need an understudy? I can't wait to see Jude play Hamlet next summer in London. He is being directed by none other than the premiere Hamlet on film, in my opinion, Kenneth Branagh. if only...'Dreams are MADE of Action'...so you never know...

  • looking back at this ... I find that the less staring at one point seems to be much more natural... and I think on my next Hamlet TAKE I will explore this more...

  • and yes... I was holding back a huge honker... ha

  • That is not a "cold read"! it is a rehearsed 'MONOLOGUE'!

  • thanks for your comment... there are Three Scripts pinned up to the wall in different places. You can tell when I focus too long or pause too long because I have LOST my place... so you'll have to 'look at it' again... and if you analyze it... you WILL see that in fact it is READ off my script.

  • Dude. I am doing this monologue for a competition. I do it so differently! It was interesting to watch. Since I don't watch/read a lot of Shakespeare. One thing I figured out was at the end when he says "But break, my heart, for I must hold my tongue" That he was telling his heart to break, rather than telling someone to break it. But break (comma) my heart (Comma).

  • Hi... thanks for your comment. As you see from the Title, This is a COLD read ... means what it means... COLD ... about the 3rd time I read through it. I placed the different copies up on the kitchen wall and read it. Answer to your question. (GOD) and yes, I missed that here. peace, Shaktim

  • I agree with you man.

    Shaktim- Please explain to me what you think the 'Everlasting' is, for I feel that you are completely missing the point there :)

  • There isn't a moment of truth or honesty in this. It's the worst kind of acting. Get some Shakespeare training and you could be could. You're thinking too too much about how you sound and how you look. Bad actor. Bad acting.

  • Too crazy! Good job man

  • really? I couldn't tell u were reading!
