To perform Shakespeare you must first understand if your character is speaking in Verse or Prose. Learn how to interpret the Iambic Pentameter! Understand the Story your character is IN and TELLING. Look up and define every word in the text you may not know or understand fully. Put the SHAKESPEARE in your own words! Understand the flow of THOUGHTS your character is having. BREATH! (Breath and Shakespeare is a whole other question) --- AND SPEAK THE SPEECH ---
