Phoebe's monologue from William Shakespeare's 'As You Like It', Act 3, Scene 5. Please comment your thoughts below, I'd love to hear what you think! #acting #actress #shakespeare #bethanylaurenthompson
I absolutely love how you portrayed Phoebe! Definitely taking note of this (I'm learning the same monologue for my LAMDA exam)! It's absolutely brilliant!! :D
I just saw your monologue absulately love it girl keep going I'm preparing audition for tv i took tips from you thank you so much for sharing your talent with us and dont stop you have a big talent love it :))
This is incredible! I adore your interpretation of Phoebe!! I am about to play her in about a week and I gotta say I am pretty nervous. Obviously, even if the play is adapted to my native language the idea is still the same and this pretty much helps! Keep up the good work! If you have any other tips for playing Phoebe I would appreciate it so much! Especially any thoughts on the scene in which she is angry at Silvius and most important the moment she first sees Rosalind and she instantly falls in love with her, bc that is pretty tricky to portray
As I like it, I will leave a comment. Shakespeare, whoever he was, was certainly something else, wasn't he?! I'm currently performing his sonnets on my channel. Mindblowing stuff, to be sure. Thank you for this, Noel 🌹
Edward de Vere, the 17th Earl of Oxford, was the author. Vere's family motto was Vero Nihil Verius. Two Vs close together look like a W, which when taken away from William leaves you with Illiam. Illiam sounds like Ilium where Achilles defeated Hector with his shaking spear, aided by Pallas Athene/Minerva, the patron of the arts. Edward Vere was referred to as 'Our Minerva' because he supported contemporary poets. And using pseudonyms was common in those days, a fact which Stratfordians conveniently forget or don't know. Stratfordians also use some very flimsy arguments.
I equate Stratfordians with people who think they're hurtling through space on the Copernican space ball at Mark 98. It's funny how we never hear sonic boom. I guess we must be deaf. And if they're in Australia they're spinning around on their Jesuit space ball upside down! I also equate them with people who are waiting for some guy from Israel to come and save them instead of understanding that we save ourselves. If we are children of God, which we are, then we can save ourselves. We don't need vicarious saviours or clergymen. We can cut out the middleman and go to God directly.
you wound that monologue like a spring! especially love how you turned a good portion of the lines to rebuking silvius for his perceived inferiority as well rather than only getting goo goo abt ganymede. and you look like a young judi dench lol. this rendition was packed with energy and detail, delightful, thank you!! makes me happy youtube exists, keep on!
Waooo amazing!! I am preparing this monologue for my school audition and I think maybe this will be the monologue which I can play and have fun, but however I feel nervous, do you have any advice? 😀 Your Phoebe is fantastic, thank you for share your talent with us. 👏🏼👏🏼😀🌌💖💜✨🥰🎉💗🎇😊
Ah bless you, that’s so kind thank you! 🥺 It’s a great monologue - like you say, funny! I think often for auditions people like to go deep and serious and show they can make themselves cry, which is all brilliant but when everyone is going that it becomes harder to stand out. And what better way to stand out from seriousness than with comedy! I think it’s a great choice! My advice to get to grips with the text would be to have a translation and learn and recite that so when you recite the shakespeare it’s how you would be saying it if it were modern day English, if that makes sense? Hope that helps ☺️❤️
@@BethanyLaurenThompson Thank you so much for your help and advice. I will follow them and I will replay to you when I have the results of my audition. Yes this monologue is different, I was looking for this type of monologue around 1-2 months and when I saw your video I star to read the play and I love it. Thank you again 😀🌌💗💜🎇👏🏼🥰🌠🎉🎊💖
I really like your monologues. Can you perform them in OP as well? I prefer OP not just because it sounds earthier, but because it's how they spoke in Elizabethan London.
Well done Bethany. I am a 69 year-old guy and am about to learn and shoot this speech. I have already shot the Rosiland that precedes it. I currently have 34 on my channel shakeoutloud. Once all this covid is over I hope you have a stage career to return to. I'd cast that spritely mind of yours in a trice.
Thank you! Ah it’s a brilliant play, one of my favourite speeches to perform! Wow! I’ll check them out! Are you acting professionally? That’s very kind of you, I hope so too!
i spent 7 years at Stratford Ontario, years ago and then spent about 20 years teaching Shakespearean monologues. I am 69 and so hate auditioning, I'd rather spend my time on my website www.shakespeareoutloud.ca Currently I am making sound recordings of all my plays, something for kids to listen to as they read my texts. You are one of the few that I have found on youtube that really seems to GET IT. Keep working. Keep practicing and refining your thoughts, and you will keep improving.@@BethanyLaurenThompson
Ah Thank you very much! I have used it for drama school auditions but it’s also just one of my favourites! There are, I know what you mean but you have to remember there is no ‘perfect monologue’, you just have to go with something you enjoy performing and shows you off! :) x
