Question

I need your opinion on something. If you are a boy please refer to a girl. If you are a girl please refer to a boy. Ok now if you are doing a play for Romeo and Juliet and you had the opposite gender would you sound like yourself or would you try to sound like a girl or boy. And would you be mad if you got the opposite gender part. Thanks by the way I'm a girl Playing Sampson.

Answer 1

What would you do if you were me?

Answer 2

In keeping with the historical Shakespeare, you should probably pitch your voice as low as possible if you're playing a male role.

Did you know that there were no female actors in Shakespeare's time? All women's roles were played by men until about 1660.

Answer 3

Peace

Answer 4
