Subject: Romeo & Juliet (1597)

Written By: Early2010sGuy on 03/12/19 at 1:01 am

What was your least and most favourite scenes of the story, and who were your favourite characters? This story might be cheesy to some of you guys, but it's not 100% bad, it has some good parts.

SPOILER ALERT!!!

My least favourite scene was when Romeo and Juliet both killed themselves (Doesn't everybody get sad or mad at this scene?), and my personal favourite scene was when Juliet was at the Balcony, and Romeo was way below her, and at first, Juliet talks about her love with Romeo out loud, while Romeo eavesdropped, and then it turned into a conversation, which I found kinda cute.

My Personal favourite character: Either Mercuito or Benvolio
My Least favourite character: Tybalt

I played Juliet in this voice acting dialogue. This is the death scene. I did ok lol but I feel I over did myself. Romeo is played by Josh Moret. We performed this at the Providence Performing arts on January 5th 2019. I am on at 2:00 minutes into the scene. I hope you all like it!

Romeo & Juliet is classic (like ALL of Shakespeare's plays). When I was about 3 years old, I remember my grandmother reciting from it which has always stayed with me-but I would recite it this way: "Good-night, good-night. Parting is such sweet sorrow that I shall say good-night until it be tomorrow". (Instead of "...until it be morrow." ) But, as a 3 year old, I was given a pass. It wasn't until high school when I actually READ the play that I realized that I had been saying it wrong all those years.

R&J isn't my favorite Shakespeare play. I actually prefer A Mid Summer's Night Dream.

At school, I was forced to study the plays and sonnets of William Shakespeare, and was, at the time, bored to death, but now I am interested and wish to see a filmed version of each play.

At school, I was told briefly about "Romeo and Juliet", but the main play I was taught on was "Richard II", one of the lesser royal plays, with the chance to see it live on stage.

That was amazing! Love how both of you put a lot of effort into the acting scene, I love the dramatic effect of your voice in the performance too, it could make an audience real emotional  ;)

Ok this is the remastered version of my very first voice acting performance. I play Juliet at 2:00 minutes, and Romeo is played by a then voice acting partner his name is Josh Moret. This was performed at the Providence Performing Arts on January 5th. I think I over did it though and my performance is TOO over dramatic. But everyone says I did great! So here it is:

My favourite musical was inspired by William Shakespeare's play Romeo and Juliet. "West Side Story" the music by Leonard Bernstein and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, with score for the musical includes "Jet Song", "Something's Coming", "Maria", "Tonight", "America", "Cool", "One Hand, One Heart", "I Feel Pretty", "Somewhere", "Gee, Officer Krupke" and "A Boy Like That". The songs "Tonight" and "Somewhere" which takes a phrase from the slow movement of Beethoven's 'Emperor' Piano Concerto, which forms the start of the melody, and also a longer phrase from the main theme of Pyotr Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake.

I totally adore the 1961 film, and looking forward to the the Steven Spielberg remake due for a release this year at Christmas time, it would had been released much earlier if not for the pandemic.

I want to repost my Romeo and Juliet voice acting performance. I play Juliet, and a good friend of mine named Josh Moret plays Romeo. This scene took many hours to perfect. Buuut,..I'm a natural! *tosses her hair*

This is the scene where Romeo and Juliet take their lives. I had to sob and cry and pretty much sound helpless. It's not easy but listening to Romeo's part actually brought tears to my eyes. Helping me make my voice acting sound more realistic.

This was performed at PPAC(Providence Performing Arts Center) early last year. Way before Covid.
