It's not about doing an "American" accent, it's about using your natural voice, so that the auditors see that you can handle heightened language without sounding affected.

@ianwhitt91 Because most colleges don't think their "talent" can do it correctly... so you end up with 20 kids butchering it.
Playing King Henry with an American accent would be about the dumbest possible idea.

Most colleges wouldn't want you to do an accent. You should do pieces that are close to your type.

@ianwhitt91 because it's called... acting?
Mind blowing, right?

Why use an accent when you're not British?

If he's using this as an audition piece, there should be at least one purposeful movement; this allows the director or auditor to see the character within the movement, in addition to vocal quality and facial expression. As a performance piece rather than an audition piece, I would definitely agree with you, but as he intended this as an audition, movement is an essential part of the audition.

I dissagre about your second piece of advice. Henry was a very proud, brave, and strong man. When giving a speech he would stand with purpose and movement isn't necissary. At most, I would take maybe one or two steps but know why you took those steps. That being said, I didn't watch this whole video because I was dissatisfied with the first 45 seconds or so.
It doesn't seem like he knows where he is, who he's talking to, or what is going on at all.
where is this speech from? got a link
