Hi!! this is so helpful! i was wondering if you have thoughts about hermia’s nightmare monologue in a midsummer nights dream? i’ve read that this monologue foreshadows lysanders betrayal. for the lines “what, out of hearing? gone? no sound, no word?” do you thought a like more like trying to figure out where he is for the what out of hearing part and then for the gone and no sound no word part, like thinking about if lysander DID leave? is there a good time that a pause would fit?

Hi Vivienne, sorry I just saw this comment! I think your audition's today but perhaps you'll see this. In terms of foreshadowing, remember that you have to think like an actor, not a scholar. By that I mean - scholars might be analysing the play and saying "this foreshadows blah blah blah", but as a character, you don't know what's going to happen in the future, so most of the time it's not playable. So, exactly like you said, just section it up and figure out what she's thinking for each section. They'll be quick sections. I personally don't think she would assume that he would have left her, because she's quite secure in their love generally, but that's a choice you can make for yourself. My instinct is that she's gone straight to thinking "oh no, he's been dragged off by a wild beast", then she has to make the choice whether to go look for him or get herself to safety. That means the last line "either death or you I'll find immediately" can have a big fat obvious choice before you say it, which is always great for a soliloquy. Let us see you make the choice!

Hello! I've binge watched couple of your videos and they are all very amazing. Thank you so much for all the insights❤ I have like a couple of questions with regards to Drama School auditions and I was wondering if you take workshops or online classes where I can join in to learn more about the dos and don'ts and to clear out my doubts. I have my audition scheduled on this 12th and I know it's really too late but if you can still help me out like a little bit. That would be great! Thank you so much❤

Hey! I'm studying Helena's "How happy some o'er other some can be", which your video really helped me about, so thank you! I am also going to be filming myself perform the monologue but performing it like a TV show (that sort of style). Any tips please? Xxx

@@eloisewyatt3599 I think the main thing to consider when it comes to acting for camera is 'size'. I mean the level of energy and subtlety that you bring to the character. That's always the case when filming anything that was written for theatre, but it's very important with Shakespeare because his work is heightened (ie meant to be a bit larger than life). Helena is also quite 'big' in that she can be quite melodramatic, so I'd recommend focusing on paring it back a bit so she keeps the emotion 'inside', rather than being over the top. I've just done a character analysis video for Helena as well where I talk a bit about that, you might find it useful. I'll link here as well. Let me know if you have other questions!

hi sarah, prepping for a drama school audition at the moment (doing isabella’s “to whom should i complain”). when watching the RSC performance, she does leave pauses in the middle of the line e.g between “complain?” and “did i tell this”. what are your thoughts on this?

Not all directors want actors to stick to this rule 100%. Some are strict about it, some will be flexible, and some don't care about it at all. What I suggest to actors is to first try the exercise of not breathing in the middle of lines (breathe at the end instead) and see what you discover. Quite often it creates a flow and urgency that would be missed otherwise. Experiment with that first, then keep what works, leave what doesn't.
