Designed especially for student actors with no Shakespeare experience, this book provides detailed guidelines, tasks, and tips for performing a Shakespeare monologue, from choosing a piece to
rehearsal and delivery. Lessons are broken down into exercises and sessions totaling 35 hours of preparation for a monologue. The book begins with tips for downloading and using a speech
analyzer, then covers mastering meter, adding action and gesture, analyzing the structure and rhythm of the monologue, finding language patterns, and vocal color. B&w images, screenshots,
and suggested web sites are included. Annotation ©2016 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
