Every person doing this monologue does it a little bit differently. I have this monologue due memorized tomorrow and I just started today. I have no idea how to portray it.

[@ReyJeanneAntoine]

LOVE IT!!!!!!!! So different from a lot of the others I have viewed...and Ms. Louisa Jane Robinson....very natural

[@HareAndTheHatter]

You were really good! I liked your light-hearted approach to the text :)

[@torijoy3970]

I need to do this for a monologue, and this was a great inspiration for me! Thank you so much! You have done a beautiful job making it so natural, it makes it beautiful to listen to :)

[@HaileyMWynn]

Really, really good! If you ever do this in an audition, know that it is generally ill advised to keep constant eye contact. I've been taught to look just above their heads.

[@ScorchTheRedhead]

Thank you for this tip :)

O time! thou must untangle this, not I;
It is too hard a knot for me to untie!

[@katedillingham]

[@shakespearaamina9117]

Bravo ! 🌹🌹🌹👌

[@jaymillymills]

I even liked this better than the great Judi Dench!

[@shwing9760]

I like this

[@ShaylaAsh]

Certainly a different take, very calm and collected. Unfortunately I just didn't believe it.. sorry! There didn't seem to be anything at stake!

[@IanMcGarrett]

That strikes me as a rather mean and uncalled for comment. She did an excellent job, light, well considered, good choices,seeming to find the words in the moment - not just remembering them.

[@sorchamccarrey]

i agree w you but more the person who replied to you. she could have invested more but also like...this is definitely one of the better ones out there and there is a lot to like about this version ! it seems like higher quality work tends to catch more criticism for its flaws when there are like hundreds and hundreds of versions of this on yt that not only have no stakes but also are completely incoherent. i thought the actor told the story well here, if at a bit of a remove. this comment seems weirdly passive aggressive.
