DJ Shaktim's Hamlet 364 'Speed of Light'

Ok ... I'm having a good laugh at my choice of music. I've shared Hamlet with so many people around the world and introduced them to the brilliance that William Shakespeare was and is through the variety of music genres I've chosen. But this one takes the cake I think and I hope you enjoy my taking a humorous dig at myself.
Speaking of Dig ... I've been sharing my Hamlets on Digg and am looking for another place to host them as well, so I can clean up my computer of files when I found Hamlet 56. I liked it, the movement and intensity (I didn't used to like it) ... so I decided to raise the volume intake level and make my stage a bit larger. I wish I had found this higher back lighting earlier in my project...

TIM MALONEY HAMLET 365 ... Shaktim's Hamlet 363 'Introducing Coco'

So you have seen Coco on my Channel page and you have even heard her before in the background of some of my TAKES, but now you get to meet her. She is my 11 year old rescue pom. I'm very blessed to have known her and the great joy she brings to the people she meets.
In this TAKE, You get an insight into my Meisner background with the repetition I do towards the end of the rendering. I've studied many different techniques along the way, first at AMDA, NYC, where I studied with Elizabeth Browning. She posed this question to me: 'If you want to be an actor, you must bring your improv down from fake universes...' Yes, my partner and I were placing our exercise on another planet. ha. I can laugh now, but at the time, I was transfixed with the idea that I could not act and that I was destined to be a Chorus boy singer who could almost move pretty well. While I was in Grad School for Opera several years later, I got to work with Michael Richie at Florida State University. He was amazed how still I could be and how long I would take to answer a line... I don't think the other actors appreciated it, but at the time, I was pressed to be as honest as I possibly could because, in fact, I had that little lady in the back of my head saying I could not act. From there, I landed a chorus role and assistant stage management position at the Metropolitan Playhouse in NYC. I was blessed to be working with amazing actors who also thought the characters I was playing (5 and under lines) were good... and they were with an Irish accent even. I got bold and took a Shakespeare for film class with at the Worth Street Theatre. I played Romeo in a scene as well as learned my All the Worlds a Stage and Be absolute for Death soliloquies. From there I got even bolder and pursued the Artists' Way. My crazy dream was to be in a Soap Opera. I took a Casting Director workshop and in just a few weeks time I was a surgeon in one of the last shows of the short lived 'The City', Soap Opera, on ABC. The check that came told me everything I needed to know about where I was going. OUT to Hollywood to get on a sitcom so I could come Back to Broadway as a celebrity. Dial forward ... Having lived through Aids Dementia and Wasting, I re-emerged stronger, livelier and with gratitude that has brought me to this point. Celebrating Life by putting my dreams into Action. I look forward to a long career of what ever it is that God wants me to do. The statement of Hamlet 365 will have a life of it's own. It is not who I am. It has been a part of my evolution as an artist and I am thankful for the inspiration to create it ... I give All Thanks to God !!!
peace, light, love and passion,
Shaktim

TIM MALONEY

Is

Shaktim an inspirational Life

Living a life of courage and
Indisputable resolve to continue
Dreaming the impossible dream
Even after being
Given an hiv death sentence in
1996. Living for years feeling like a
leper and wanting to die, in 2004
I was diagnosed with aids wasting
And dementia.

I chose life
And found
BLISS
And peace in yogic science and
Through hiv meds

I am a miracle
I am a Victor over Aids !

Why share my life in this way?

Through Aids I found
My humanity
The gift of yogic science
And
Sharing is an important step in my
Own journey of healing.

It is the reason I have become an
Inspiration to my family and
Friends.

As an artist and yogi I am impelled
To reveal and share who I am.
My desire is to
Encourage and Inspire
Others who are living with an
Illness and everyone else,
Because,
We All have a death sentence.
Connecting to your spiritual
Essence, recognizing God in the
Oxygen we breathe, can and will
Heal, transform and empower you

What ever religion you embrace.

So, Im here to say you can Reclaim
Your truth today We are a divine
Creation a vessel God is waiting
To fill you

How can we connect with God
Physically on this earth?
Through our breath!

If you have a dream you CAN
Make it happen through your
Divine right to creative Action !
Dreams Are made of Action

And so, on this special day of
Thanks I want to
Share yogic science and the art and
Gift
Of
Creating bliss in your body, mind
And spirit by loving the oxygen you
Breathe !!!

Yes, you know I want to share
My story with Oprah.
She is the calming reason I stayed
Around until I met my guru,
Mark Griffin.

Im thankful for the many hours of
Therapy she provided, How she
Brought the world together in
Such loving ways and breaking
Down the fears
Today I live in Truth
Today

My action to the universe is to be
Who I am.
GrGrateful to be a human being
The rarest gift in the Universe
Created to Awaken and know God.

Blessings, Shaktim The Hamlet of YouTube

a Shaktim Hamlet 359 'Riddles for an Indian Actor'

T I M M A L O N E Y ... Shaktim ... The Hamlet of YouTube

I'm watching a Spanish channel tonight as I write this blog. Its a Futbol game. It makes me think:
Acting is a lot like Futbol. With each Kick of the ball, With each rendering of a scene or monologue or moment, we move forward with hope of winning. The win for an actor comes in many ways from the most personal experience of triumph in living in the moment so completely and freely, that you forget what happened. The danger for an actor is physically just as competitive as it is for a sportsman. We ARE Olympians too!!!

If you ever question that, just look at one actor taking on an entire Shakespearean role, line for line ... the mental dexterity involved is monumentous. Of look at an Opera Singer and what it takes, the wear and tear on the body, to produce the tone required. Of a Broadway Star belting up into stratospheres that just a quarter of a century ago were unheard of. Thats the common bond between ALL Artists, ALL human beings who have that spark of a dream that propels them to get better and better at what they do. And we do, don't we. We KEEP breaking human records ... in ALL activities ... how blessed we are to be a divinely created spark of All that is ...

peace and remember always, 'Dreams are Made of Action'

Hamlet 358 'The Way I Work'

'm excited for this TAKE to share some insights into my project. Some of the good and bad things as an actor that I am trying to break free of. I've really enjoyed watching this project unfold virally through the world wide web and know that if I am hitting 50 plus pages of google searches just in two years... the explosion of the content I've shared is just going to continue to grow. Its a way for me to establish myself as an actor with a drive and a willingness to make a fool of myself as well as touching some golden moments, both personally, and on screen. When all is said and done, my original goal to 'infect my face upon the world wide web' (which was a tim maloney 'funny' moment) ... and completely kidding. But who really knew that this is what can happen.

Back to the acting. What more can I say? I prefer the stage for classical theatre and can't wait to be Directed again... that is if a Director will ever want to touch me after seeing me in this project. You can visit some of my Student films and see the difference from how I work on a set as opposed to working on a multitude of levels for this project, both in regard to camera work as an actor and as a director, the lighting and as a cinematographer, the framing of the action. It was all complicated and I hope you enjoy as you browse and play skip around Hamlet... just what it is that I have manifested. Blessings to all who have stuck with me and to a handful who have watched a LOT of my Hamlets. You guys kept me going ... you know who you are, but if you don't ... Joe Cool, Johnny Wolf and Thomas Neil ... The 3 with the Most Comments and gracious continued support.

Enough said. I Love God and He has blessed me with the desire to create ... ' Dreams are Made of Action '
Shaktim ...
ps On Wikimedia I am known as an Actor from India because some of my YouTube Hamlet TAKES were done in an Indian Cave ... The Ellora Caves, India !!!

One Man, One Monologue, 365 TAKES 'To Be or Not To Be' was born out of a crazy dream to be in a Shakespeare play.

So far, my first role has been King Duncan in Macbeth with Circus Theatricals in Los Angeles. It was pay for play, but getting to work with Geoffrey Owens was well worth it. I look forward to many many more years of this amazing Shakespearean Dream !!!

For the last of my TAKES I've decided to share it as it would be experienced in an acting class, where the teacher stops and starts... the only difference is that I am directing myself so you are getting my immediate feedback of how I think I am doing. I hope you find this new format helpful... it is meant to be Entertaining and hopefully Educational. It's fun to watch my videos receive the online exposure they are generating. One example, being shared on a College Theatre class online syllabus in Hong Kong. Ha. thats wild AND cool. 'Dreams are Made of Action'
peace,
Shaktim
