My name is Schuettpelz and I am 24 years old. In high school, I was in two shakespearean plays: Twelfth night (or what you will) and Midsummer night's dream.
I swore of performing Shakespeare since. Well I have been returning to theater and strictly performed in musical theater since. I recently gave my first professional audition in the area and, in my mind, blew it. They requested two contrasting monologues, and I think I've been relying too heavily on my singing. My friends tell me I can act, but I am not convinced.
I've read that if one learns how to perform Shakespeare, he/she can perform anything. Is this true?
