Hello Julia. Excellent work. I could listen to you every day. Your progressing well. Your work is always beautiful and touching. Keep it up. Hope you're doing well. Thanks for sharing your work. Stay safe Jeff
Thank you, I always enjoy reading your comments. When it comes to remaking monologues I did before I sometimes wonder if it's going to be repetitive, but especially when it comes to Shakespeare, redoing a scene can be very tempting. You always end up discovering something new when reading a Shakespeare play again, and as an actor I'm trying my best to do it justice. I'm also planning on remaking the Macbeth witches this autumn, I don't want to promise anything yet because I tend to be slow in terms of editing, but maybe I'll be able to have it uploaded by Halloween.
This particular monologue, methinks, is a fine one to redo and measure yourself and your progress against; there's definitely advancement to be seen, I dare say, and above all you've conveyed very well (once again) the mental anguish of the eponymous Hamlet; this looks like the monologue as was intended rather than, as can be all too tempting with quotable Shakespeare, a work of 'I'm reciting the cool thing'. Furthermore, you've put your expressions to good use, like before, as I recall but it's worth mentioning again; you've properly thrown yourself into the role and the subtle visuals and poignant speech both work to sell the scene. As I probably said 'nice, nice, and thrice nice' for the last one, I'll have to up the ante to Nice, nice and nice to the power of ten, or something. Yes. So... how many planes pestered you during shooting this time?
Thank you😊 Well, but no thanks to the plane question, it made me laugh way too hard and I ended up hitting myself on the knee. Of course the planes bothered me, some mosquitoes as well, but to a lesser degree. Likely because I pretty much showered in mosquito spray and turned myself into a human moth ball. Why doesn't anti-plane spray exist? And yes, I have to agree, it isn't that easy not to fall into the I'm-reciting-this-cool-Shakespeare-speech trap. Especially with this one, and you don't want to turn it into a cliché, you'll want to be sincere. To be honest, when I filmed this speech for the first time, I don't think I fully grasped it. Now I'm still not sure if I fully understand it, and it can probably mean different things to different people. But I understand it more, which might also be due to additional life experience. That's one of the main reasons why I like to revisit things. When you grow as a person your perception adapts. Nice to the power of ten sounds, well, nice, but I think I prefer thrice nice. It's got that special something.
Hello Julia. How are you doing? Just checking up on when we might be seeing your next video. Anxiously waiting for something new. Hope your doing well. Thanks and take care. Jeff
Hi, I'm doing alright, apart from having been a bit sick for the last couple of weeks. I'll be dropping a new video tomorrow, something spooky for Halloween. Hope you are also doing well.
