Ever since I studied Romeo and JulietI in Literature&Performance class, I started liking Shakespeare’s work. I have been wanting to do a Shakespeare monologue for a long time, and finally I got the chance to do for my audition project in acting class. I want to do this not just because I like Shakespeare, but also I want to challenge myself.
As we all know that the Shakespeare’s monologue is one of the hardest kind of monologue to do, especially me who is a international student. Also, this kind of monologue is also the only kind of monologue I have never done before even I have taken this class three times. This time, I will find a Shakespeare monologue, and I want to do a really dramatic or comedic because I want to try some dramatic monologues and I also need a comedic monologue to put in my resume.
I will start to searching monologues and analysis the original text to fully understand the plot. Most importantly I need to being in the character, so I will have to work extremely hard on lines, in order to make the scene goes smoothly. I remember that the first Shakespeare project I did I had my script in my hands and I kept looking on it, so I constantly pause to see the line, then started to act again which looked super awkward on stage. This time, I will have all of my script memorized and keep being in character and blocking the whole time.
To be honest, I am actually a little nervous because Shakespeare is like the symbol of the hardest project ever. It felt like I am in chemistry I and tomorrow I need to find a new Element. Anyway, I will put my most effort in this project even this is the end of the school year! I am also looking forward to see other classmates work!
