excellent start, Tomas.WiltedScribe wrote: ↑April 24th, 2019, 10:16 pm Two shorties to start off with: a drunken gentleman and a strict nun.
My voice credits are also ready:
All three are PL ok. Francisca is very strict and prim indeed. And an Italian, judging from the accent 
Nice touch. And I agree, the gentleman has a sort of slur in his voice that may point to a few cups too many. 
I found Mariana sympathetic, so I imagine there'll be a contrast with Isabella, who I'm sure you gave a harder edge to. Escalus also sounds conflicted in the later scenes, so I look forward to hearing the rest of him as well!I fear I made Isabella a bit of a bitchWiltedScribe wrote: ↑April 25th, 2019, 4:21 pmI found Mariana sympathetic, so I imagine there'll be a contrast with Isabella, who I'm sure you gave a harder edge to.
I didn't really totally like her because she values her virginity more than her brother's life. So I made her very tough, the sort that would fit in well with Sister Francisca in that strict convent (but she would be the mother superior then !).
I saw many pictures online of stage productions and she was always this very young girl with the sad or pleading expression....that's not how I picture her with the things she says and does. My Isabella is straight out pissed at Angelo and she shows her contempt. This says it all: she completely has her priorities wrong in my opinion.Then, Isabel, live chaste, and, brother, die:
More than our brother is our chastity
I had fun doing this act and unleashing all the anger she had in her. I think that the contrast of hard Isabella and soft Mariana is quite obvious here. Even though Mariana is showing some grandeur in this act as well. That's probably why I tried to make Isabella even a notch more forceful. Hope I managed.
Now waiting for you guys. You make her very flinty (very much the picture of the Stern Nun you see in movies, with vinegar countenance); however, she is tenacious and you can't help but admire something about her. Maybe not the fact that she'd rather her brother die than give in to Angelo's demand, but perhaps her resilience and inner strength. A very complex character that I don't think anyone can completely understand. Nevertheless you do a fantastic job of bringing her to life! yes I feared I would make her sound too old LOL well...she seems to be old before her time, probably all that vinegarWiltedScribe wrote: ↑May 4th, 2019, 8:03 pmI think you gave a riveting performance as Isabella.
excellent job on all of them. I absolutely loved the boy's performance, such a pity it was so short. And I loved Friar Peter's slight northern accentWiltedScribe wrote: ↑May 4th, 2019, 8:03 pmMeanwhile, I had some time to finish a few more roles. I think that means I only have Angelo and Pompey left now.
And the best scene was of course Claudio when he is shaking and begging Isabella to sin for his life. I was wondering how you would play your part there, considering how harshly I reacted to it. Oh, she must be really heartless to answer so fiercely to this pathetic plea. I hope I made Isabella and Mariana distinct enough. Oops, I must not have scrolled down far enough.
Thanks for catching it, Sonia. Here is the revised file:
yes that's what I was aiming for, glad it worked out. Thanks for the PL. I moved the file down to Act 4 now to have it out of the way.WiltedScribe wrote: ↑May 6th, 2019, 11:52 amI think your Isabella and Mariana are both distinct enough that it will not confuse anyone. One is hard and unyielding and the other softer and quieter.
