Read a sonnet or soliloquy. Let’s critique each other’s pace, emotion, and overall performance. It doesn’t have to be worthy of the Globe, but let’s get into character and try to experience the Bard together. Shakespeare is communal, after all. https://voca.ro/1bhGepYi4dDM
>>24774004Lol stop with all the pauses, it's a cheap means of adding dramatic effect.
>>24774461Thanks but pauses are important. You can’t just spit it all out. I was going for realism over singing the lines, too.
>>24774474I agree pauses are important, but if you use them too much, and if they're too long, then they just sound affected. I know it's well-established for Hamlet to speak 'to be or not to be' at a very slow pace, but you're even slower than that.
>>24774481co sign. I burst out laughing at the first line.Shakespeare himself has made his own plea in this matter: ‘I pray you, mar no more of my verses with reading them ill-favouredly.’
