OK peeps. My biggest piece of advice to you if you’re doing this for an audition is: remember that Phebe is wrestling internally with how she feels! She’s trying to DECIDE… “Do I really like this guy? Why? How could this happen??” Everything she says is weighing up how she feels. She’s not trying to convince Silvius, she’s trying to convince herself.

THIS is so helpful thank you so so much! Doing this for my Shakespeare class in college and I am so excited to add a bunch of fun actions and comic timing to this.

I'm back! I got Ariel in the Tempest and you totally made me understand this. I rocked my audition!

I am still looking for a monologue for my audition, I read a lot plays and form differents authors and type of comedy...I am really nervous do you recommend this monologue for a person who is preparing her first monologue in comedy for drama school? Thanks and congratulations for you beautiful videos.💜✨🎊🎉 new subscriber

Hi Stefania, this monologue is not too bad for a beginner, but it does have lots of very fast thought changes that can be difficult to manage. I always like to say though that what you ENJOY matters. If you enjoy this one, then commit to it and work on the thought changes. But if you don’t really enjoy it, maybe it’s not the right one for you. You might want to look at my most recent video of Olivia, that’s a bit easier and can be very funny kzread.info/dash/bejne/f4WF2Javd5OsZcY.html I also have a video on how to choose a drama school monologue kzread.info/dash/bejne/pHilx7dwgtnRnco.html Hope this helps!

@@stefaniahidalgo1992 No problem! Also I just thought - have a look at Phebe's other monologue "I would not be thy executioner". That one is less commonly done and it also jumps around less so it's a bit easier if you're new to Shakespeare. kzread.info/dash/bejne/kX11uZupZNPLfqg.html

@@ShakespearewithSarah Thank you so much for your help and suggestions , I was checking all the information and the links that you send me and of course the Shakespeare play and finally I decided to follow your advice, This monologue is so funny, I feel so good and I really ENJOY and as you told me this is a really important ingredient to choose a monologue. I think that all your suggestions are really good, I think that I am able to make the character of Phoebe and in fact I want to try it, It's challenging 😀 and the challenges always help us to grow. Thanks again and I am happy to have found your channel. Thanks again, I will return with the result of the audition. 😀💖🎊😍🥰👏🏼💜💗🎇🌌✨

You're an absolute legend for doing all of these; they are so helpful! I think I'm going to use this monologue for a drama school audition, and this vid has been brilliant for my preparation. Just a quick question - do you know if this monologue is very overused in drama school auditions? Thank you!

@ShakespearewithSarah

2 жыл бұрын

Yes it is I’m afraid. But if you love it then just do it! Otherwise, have you considered her other monologue- “I would not be thy executioner”? I think that one is just as funny and barely anyone does it.

Oh no, sorry I just saw this! If you still need it, I have a video on movement and gesture. Honestly, you don't need to do blocking for auditions. You just need to understand the impetus. If anything, concentrate on working out your focal points, that's what will help the most. Movement video is here, it has some exercises to try: kzread.info/dash/bejne/mYyg1qypps-aY8Y.html

so if you are performing for an audience can you treat them as Silvius ?

@ShakespearewithSarah

2 жыл бұрын

Hmm good question. This is a monologue where she'd probably be speaking sometimes to Silvius and sometimes to the audience, so the main thing is to be clear about who you're speaking to at each point. The simplest way is to imagine Silvius is on stage with you - but if it's for a showcase or something and you want to utilise comic effect, you could choose an audience member as Silvius and speak to them occasionally. This works particularly well if the audience is visible (as in the house lights are on so the audience can see each other) or if they are close enough for you to walk right up to so it's clear that you're speaking to them. You might even want to build in a comic moment where it seems like you're waiting for them to answer you, but then you keep going. You have to be a bit ballsy to do this kind of comic interaction though. So short answer; yes you can, just make sure you really think through how you're going to do it.

Hey Holly, is it the context that you don't understand? Like, who she's talking to and why, and that sort of thing, or is it the language (what she's saying during the monologue)?
