I like this TAKE because I have been with Jack now for a couple of months and I think his technique (one of them) of asking What? from moment to moment, was beginning to be answered in this rendering. What is it like for an actor to work out TEXT ? Some new questions arise as I am beginning to learn some valuable lessons about acting. Being in the moment that exists as one trusts in the play. I feel as an actor I have always generalized the work that I've done and mostly just placed emotion on top of the text, my own personal agenda of fears and emotional life, being the enormous well of angst that I own. Stanislavski said that 'Generalization is the enemy of art'... Jack believes that the more you are clear on what you, as the character, are doing, the less you need to load why... so in the background work that you do... it is not brought to the moment... it is the circumstance of the life of the character... but knowing what you are doing in the moment of speaking the text... this is what I am now working on... I hope you enjoy my adventure into becoming a professional actor and one that is not just acting by accident. A special thanks to Allan Rich for the tools he gave me in our first session... http://www.aleapfromthemethod.com

This TAKE is immediately after one of my classes with Jack Stehlin and his Master Class at The Odyssey Theatre ... http://www.circustheatricals.com.As you can see, I am beginning to shift my awareness on camera from a presentation state... to a moment to moment awareness of my breath and the text and where that is taking me... taking longer pauses when the impetus to speak is not there... For the most part, even with the Stripped Green shirt, I successfully rendered this TAKE with out my 'head' coming in to take me out of the moment... The TAKES you will see in the next dozen or so TAKES that I upload will illustrate more fully, the steps I am taking to 'Own Shakespeares' Words' ... I thank you for following me on my journey of self discovery with a role that I always felt was FAR away from my grasp... But now, feel that with a Shakespeare Glossary in hand ... and my well schooled brain on How to Stress from Geoffrey Owens... that I will indeed succeed in making my CRAZY dream a REALITy... 

Tim recently had the honor of following Sir Laurence Olivier in 'To Be or Not To Be in Shakespare', sharing one of his YouTube Hamlets, in a documentary shown on the British TV Channel More 4, on Christmas Day...

Hamlet 365 Shaktim...The Hamlet of YouTube Part 1 

Welcome to my experiment! Shakespeares' Hamlet, from Tim Maloney...Shaktim, The Hamlet of YouTube. This playlist is dedicated to one actor taking one monologue, or in this case, a soliloquy from Hamlet, arguably one of the most famous of all of Shakespeare's plays and offering YouTubers a unique insight into what its actually like for an actor to 'Work out a Character' using repetition as part of the rehearsal process. I am committed to offering 365 takes of this one monologue and hope you will continue sending me emails with your thoughts and feelings and critiques. I've discovered another reason to make this statement, besides the obvious of marketing my talents to begin a professional film and tv career and that is to inspire people to persevere and follow their dreams, their bliss. My bliss is performing Characters and entertaining. Oprah inspired me to do just that... and becoming a Shakespearean Actor has been a dream of mine ever since I realized that I had a naturally, yet uncanny ability to understand his words. Could i have been in his original troupe? I want to play Hamlet on Stage and Character Driven work on film. You can view my first time playing Hamlet in a short film http://www.HamletvsGoodzilla.c om , from an Experimental Film class at UCLA.
