Here's a recital of a scene from The Twilight Zone I did for the Hype Voices thread last year. It's from "The Obsolete Man," originally starring Burgess Meredith.
oooo a talent thread! this should've been named "The Hype's Got Talent!!!" hehe...anywho, here's a lil' something i made after i was challenged to a dance-off through youtube. it gets repetitive near the end because i ran out of robotic moves, but i managed to pull out a cool lil' move before it finished.
thin walls eh? hehe....i'm kind of a hard critic, so i'll say it was "aight"

You want me to dance AND rap? You ask much. Plus you're asking me to do something I haven't really done since the mid '90s... but...
Here's something that only a few select Hypesters have heard. It's a couple of years old and the audio on the vocals are unfortunately recorded very low (so I've spoilered the lyrics for those who care enough to decipher the convolutedness). It's about an ex... so it's not very nice to say the least:
evil that women do
no clue have you
strangulation effect on wills
no want in self preservation... is totally killed
willing to part ways with wallets
sums of blood money going into bottomless pockets
losing all your duckets
shine in their glow
willing to let you fools know
that your ignorance is their bliss
lives... they pull out like swiss knives
using you fools like tools
i've been there somewhere
lost between my mind and my saber just 'cause a chicken has flavor?
smile and grin and let the desecration begin
the house you thought was home cannot support abuse and misuse
and you continue to lose
your lifeforce is the diggin' crates to a gold-digger
now you start to figure
the sum of her parts was divided from all of yours
you lost face, she gained force
kinetic
and now it won't and don't stop
electric
she shines and you lose your mind
pay the price for her sin
debts add like mad you won't win... won't never win
i tell you what man, that's the real sin
she won son and scars heal slow from wars
that show on hearts of men
i got stories to tell
but probably never will
'cause a male's ego can't stand still long enough
so we bluff
and tell lies that's the stuff of legend like we won over them
like we won over them?
like we pulled one over them??
she won
let's not pretend
It is a really old beat that was made with FruityLoops back when it first came out (pre FL Studio). More or less trying to emulate a DJ Premier type of beat. I appreciate the appreciation... your turn.
Your accent confused me. I'm not an accent/dialect expert... but I heard a few different regions in your monologue. The acting, I liked, except for when it seemed like you channeled a Joker-type insanity... it felt a bit much. Your performance held me though, I'll give you that much.
Schloss, after watching a few of your other videos... I would have loved to hear that same monologue in a more natural tone. For me, a serial killer who appears more nonchalant in their expressions is scarier than the character you were trying to create in your monologue.

Thanks for the constructive criticism. I appreciate it.

t'was pretty good. i gotta agree with knowsbleed in that sometimes you sounded southern and others you sounded British. i'd also say that you might wanna put emphasis on certain phrases to break up the pace and pitch. for the most part you were going at a steady pace and a flat pitch. i know some monologues are meant to be dull but this one seems like it could have benefited from being a tad more exciting. otherwise, good job.
I actually hate my normal speaking voice most of the time. I think it sounds so monotone and droning. Maybe that's why I try to vary it up with over-the-top attempts at accents, lol.
