Monologue

Once again I am throwing myself at the mercy of Shakespeare and his actors. Susan and Jeffrey. Last time it was Bishop Carlisle. This time it is Claudius from Hamlet. You remember? He's Hamlet's uncle/father. Oh, it gets sticky right quick in this play. In this scene, Claudius, who is the King after murdering his brother and marrying his sister-in-law, realizes that Hamlet knows of his evil deed.

The Vagina Monologues is a hugely successful account of women's lives and advocates for gender equality. Eve Ensler the creator of the play went on to found V-Day an organization committed to ending violence against women. The organization has made a tremendous impact on women's lives including lesbian and trans-women but has failed to accurately include Intersex people in their accounts.Please

"Chimneys and more chimneys, light spilling from rain spattered windows onto dustbins, backyards and and factories... a pub, a pint of bitter, potato crisps, mine's a small port please... and London's a foreign shore". Poetry via YouTube, Coronation Street style.And if you want more of this sort of stuff, there's the Coronation Street chorus. But you'll need a sweet sherry at the ready for the sing-a-long.

"Andy has a brother ... named SID!" "It's a man, and a ladder, and a SLIDE! Rawwwr!" "I took a picnic, and it's right there, I know what's there, it's a piggy bank, and it's my toy. He took one of my toys, 'cause ... what? That wasn't very nice! Leave them there!" This is the soundtrack of my evenings: Pie's voice burbling through the monitor as I sit here marking papers blogging. It

To be a good blogger:1)You do not need to be a good writer.You shouldn't be one of those traditional good writer.2) A writer writes novels and books. A blogger writes a few lines3) A writer needs 300 words to say what a blogger should say in 30.4) The average audience of a blogger wants to be entertained and explained with as little words as possible.Otherwise he(she) would read books.5) A good blogger has in one day the number of readers a good writer has in one year.6) A good blogger likes to provocate, to discuss, to laugh, to joke, to shout, to please, to comment.7) A good blog is a dialogue, while a good book is a monologueThink and you'll have the problem of disposal of ideas... http://www.2rss.com/atom2rss.php?atom=http%3A//woip.blogspot.com/atom.xml

In case you missed it, above is Homer Simpson’s monologue on the Tonight Show last night and below is a video circulating around of Beyonce falling down the steps on stage as she’s performing in Orlando, Florida. It’s no wonder either, since she’s headbanging like she’s on stage with fucking Pantera. Nice one! Share This

My auditions have been getting better -- not steadily, but more think small but significant leaps forward after periods where I don't seem to be getting better at all, yet I continue to work and push, and I think that's the key to my growth (think Punctuated Equilibrium): . . . instead of a slow, continuous movement, evolution tends to be characterized by long periods of virtual standstill ("equilibrium"), "punctuated" by episodes of very fast development of new forms. Having a difficult audition is painful, but they're incredibly useful, if I can learn from them. Here's what I've learned: I think the basis of a good monologue is a attention and concentration: if you're not paying attention to the correct things and/or if you're not fully concentrating for whatever reason, the audition will just not be what it could be. Specifically: Breathing -- usually during a monologue that's not going as well as I know it could, my attention is often automatically dr

Soliloquies - Vanya is a soliloquy, i.e., he's talking to himself, but don't do it as it's done in life: there's an audience out there, so put myself out there and talk to me out there. Tips & Hints: Always use lots of air, words have colors, let the passion and emotion in the words out Goal of a monologue -- no overt/endogenous attention, at all, should be on what I'm feeling/experiencing. My attention should be fully on the other, making sure everything is crystal-bell clear. Make sure they understand me, every word. Stop extraneous movements when they're correlated with "thinking between the lines." Practice/rehearse moving nothing except what I need to use to breathe. Practice/rehearse by lying on my back, lots of air under each phase. Let myself be overly dramatic.

Audition Prep: 1st) physical voice warm up, intone, journal of the thought, etc. whatever I think I need to do 2nd) Review -- "breathe in" the vertical, the deep meaning, then let it all go. Audition Notes: Starting is still difficult for me -- the most important step is still the hardest. Rehearse a simple task, a simple way to start -- use that to center and focus me. Also, I'm still rushing the beginning, the moment before. Remember that great monologue audition with Vanya at The Impact -- remember how I just spontaneously, organically took me time? It was completely unplanned, as if the gods loved me that night and gave me a great gift, but I think I just focused and took my time without worrying about or being conscious of starting -- usually I feel awkward and self-conscious, and I tend to rush starting the monologue. This is so hard for me, yet it was perfect that night. Practice each day doing that, whatever that was ... Audition death -- certain death: trying to r

It looks like an early spring this year as NYC's local groundhog, Staten Island Chuck, also known by his middle name, "Sal," was apparently unable to smell the stench of the Fresh Kills Landfill this morning, staying out of his winter hole instead of quickly retreating back in as he usually does this day every year, in the annual ceremony at the Staten Island Zoo.

Hollywood reporters are abuzz after Lindsay Lohan checked herself into rehab for alcohol abuse a few days ago. One was overheard excitedly saying, "Thank God. It's really been too long since someone pulled a good "Drew Barrymore.'"

The Christmas trees are going back up at the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport after a local rabbi agreed not to file a lawsuit for the placement of a menorah. Instead, he now plans to use a much more effective and culturally traditional method, constant whiney nagging. A Seattle-area rabbi agreed to drop his legal request for the presence of a menorah at the Sea-Tac International Airport and officials have put the offending trees back in place, though they're now calling them "holiday trees." Upon hearing the expression "holiday trees," the rabbi immediately filed suit for the placement of a "winter season 9-pronged candlestick holder." (ed. note, not part of this joke: Really? "Holiday trees?" Really?)

Actor Michael Richards recently unleashed a racist tirade on a stunned crowd after being heckeled during a stand-up performance. When asked for comment, his friend and former co-star Jerry Seinfeld, in his trademark high-pitched nasaly voice, said, "What's the deal with racist Kramer? One minute he's a goofy and loveable tv character, the next he's a ranting bigot. I mean pick an image, and go with it!"

The NY Mets have announced that their new stadium, to open in 2009, will drop the Shea Stadium moniker and instead be named Citi Field. Team president Omar Minaya said, "With this new ballpark, now when people think of the Mets they'll think of both sports corporatization and incorrect spelling"

The new microfiber composite basketball being used in the NBA continues to receive terrible reviews from players, yet Commissioner David Stern maintains it's a superior ball. He must be right, because who would know basketball performance better than a short, nerdy guy in his mid-60s.

Bronx Zoo researchers recently discovered that elephants have the ability to recognize themselves in a mirror after experiments with Happy, the zoo's Asian pachyderm. Happy's first reaction was "wow, this is going to make shaving so much easier."
