About this listen

Join me on a journey through some of my favorite Shakespearean speeches, carefully selected for their beauty and insight. These passages not only showcase Shakespeares unmatched mastery of language but also reveal his profound understanding of human nature. As Orson Welles once noted, he speaks to everyone, and we all claim him. While its often said that a truly great Shakespearian actor needs a unique and extraordinary voice, that doesnt mean that everyday individuals cant read, listen to, and revel in the magic of Shakespeares words.
