Full Fathom Five - Shakespeare's The Tempest

Full fathom five thy father lies;
Of his bones are coral made;
Those are pearls that were his eyes:
Nothing of him that doth fade,
But doth suffer a sea-change
Into something rich and strange.
Sea-nymphs hourly ring his knell:
Ding-dong.
Hark! now I hear them,-ding-dong, bell.

I really like this reading -- the softer recitation gives it a more muted feel, which sets it apart from other readings I've found online. The location is great and the slo-mo filming is a good choice too. Very nice work all around.

Hi Eric... thank you. Recorded just for fun, but it’s a speech I’ve always enjoyed. Have you seen Derek Jarman’s film of The Tempest? Considered by many to be the best filmed version. All best

I'll have to check that out -- thanks for the tip!
