| Question: Good Shakespearean Monologues? Posted: 18 Nov 2015 03:42 PM PST I'd say that the "best" for effect are Richard III's introduction ("Now is the winter of our discontent..") or the two "pump up" monologues from Henry V ("Once more unto the breach.." and "St. Crispin's Day")... But my personal favorite is Caliban's from "The Tempest" Act III, Scene 2... "Be not afeard. This Isle is full of noises, Caliban is portrayed as a crass and grotesque creature, plotting violence against his master Prospero and attempting to rape his daughter... but Shakespeare also gives him some of the most touching lines in this and other works. In this brief monologue, Shakespeare presents us a "creature" who dreams and appreciates the magic in everyday life...one who is unapologetically base and lustful, but who also recognizes his own longing for richer and better things. |
| Question: Am I being unrealistic? Posted: 18 Nov 2015 03:17 PM PST Wanting to try acting is NOT unrealistic and it's never too late to try acting. First, you'll actually want to see if the work of acting is what you hope it will be. Sometimes people just focus on performing and forget all of the real work of acting - auditioning, analyzing a script, building a character, memorizing lines and blocking, rehearsing, taking direction, working with cast and crew. So starting with some beginning acting classes. Check to see what might be offered at community theaters in your area. You could also volunteer to help out backstage or usher a show at first to get comfortable at the theater - and then try auditioning for something there. That will allow you to try acting and see if you enjoy the work and see if you're any good at it. Getting training and experience first is important. What is unrealistic is going into acting to become famous or to do something "big" with your life. The huge vast majority of actors can't support themselves by acting alone, let alone become famous. And there are other ways to make a big impact on people's lives from teaching to the medical field to relief work. So try acting to you can see if it's something you really are passionate about doing. Even if you never "make it"; even if you decide a professional career isn't for you, being involved in acting and theater can enrich your life and teach you many life lessons. You should understand that more professional acting is a business. Actors are not just "discovered" and given a career. There are not a bunch of open auditions you can go to and try to be "noticed". For most professional work you have to be invited to audition, usually through an agent. And you can't just hire an agent, it's more like they choose you. Then there are things like contracts and unions and marketing (head shots, resumes, show reels, social media) and networking. An every acting job is temporary so you always have to worry about when (and if) you'll get another job. And there are a lot of scams and rip offs out there that prey on people who hope to be "discovered" and become famous but who don't really understand the business end of the industry. Attempting an acting career is like running a company and you are the product to be marketed and sold. So if you take some classes and audition for community theater and maybe even contact local film schools and ask how they find actors fornstudent films and check those sources - and you love it then learn more about the business.
