Review # 1 was written on 2016-12-11 00:00:00 John Tranello Firstly, I don't think I've ever disliked an author of non-fiction as quickly as I did the person who put these pieces together. (At the beginning of the book, he writes an odd collection of tips and tricks where he somehow strangely manages to be unlikable and stupid with a tirade about how actresses, in his opinion, should be called actors in stead. He makes the inarguable point that doctors aren't called "doctoresses" when they're female, lol... Fuckwit.) That would have been okay, however, if the speeches weren't disappointing. Spoiler: they are. I don't know what sort of idiot put this together, but slicing off dialogue and making "slight changes" here and there to put together monologues really doesn't fly with something as precise as Shakespeare. That fucks up iambic pentameter before you even get started. I personally wouldn't have the balls to use any of the pieces he put together here for drama school auditions or God forbid an audition for the Royal Shakespeare Company - I easily think they could be insulted. All in all I'm sort of baffled that this moron got to write this book. What a waste of money. I highly recommend "Shakespeare Monologue's for Women" instead by The Good Audition Guides. That's really good.
