I'm a starting actor who wants to learn to speak better? Sometimes when I'm on camera my voice gets all caught up probably because I'm nervous. Any advice on how to speak clearer and louder so everyone can understand and hear me?

I lost her to the rumors.
I lost her to his smile.
I lost her to that ogar,
That sneaky crocodile.

His over whelming hunger,
He could not dely.
Could not wait any longer,
My best friend became the prey.

She saw all the danger.
The warnings she ignored.
All her friends she's angered.
That selfish moment of reward.

But it got her nowhere.
Half a smile at the most.
I see her living in dispair,
From his one time lethal dose.

Hello

I am an 18 year old who has just started college. For this past summer i have been in deep meditation and in search for the freedom of my soul. A few nights ago i had this realization that college was leading me to a path of self service and one that clings to society. Ever since then i have been in deep confusion and had the inability to escape my mind. I am finding myself sleeping worse and starting to care about what others think way to much. When i rarely have the alone time to relax my mind i find myself in this state of tranquility where i feel as if i can be happy if i do nothing for the rest of my life. I think that it might be my calling to drop out of college and just devote my life to others who need asistence just to live. Currently my major is in primary education and that is what i want to do for the rest of my life but it just seems as if teaching would bind me to a small group of people that i can help, what do i do?
Please respond with any type of insite....

15 June 1799


We dance around the fire strumming wildly our mandolins.
We pray those who have offended
Greatly burn
In Hell for all time
While we float
Up to heaven
On the palms of God.
Look, fire!
The candle burning
On the skin of the new bride
Who snacks from sacks of fish eyes
And walking backward she falls
Down the stairs to the cluttered basement.
David is so feckless.
He runs out of the house,
Stammering,
“Uh, my God, leave me alone!”
“Where are you?”
“What can I tell you?”
This mathematical equation
Forms in the clouds,
Riding in a great southern wind.
This equation is trigonometric,
He hasn’t the means to understand it

I already tried wikipedia but that didn't work so don't tell me wikipedia. I need to go into detail like about tactics used, equipment, politics and ethical issues, pretty much the whole shebang. And the libraries around chicago didn't have anything. And I need both sides of the war, not just napoleon.

I have such bad writers block. Sometimes I won't get any ideas at all, and others I will get the stupidest ones in the world that I have to write or they won't leave me alone. This time is the worst though. I got writers block- in the middle of a sentence! I've tried thinking of different ways to write the sentence, I've taken a break, I gone through my notes and the rest of the story, but that sentence keeps getting stuck- right in the middle! Help!

We sign up for audition times in groups of five. There are two days of auditions. I signed up for the first group on the first day. Was this a stupid move?

We have to analyze and perform a monologue for acting class. Here's the first passage of the monologue that is was assigned:

You know the sound of a bone breaking? It goes crack. Just crack. Like popping a piece of kindling over your knee. I’m not going to tell you where I came from because I barely remember. I’m not going to tell you where I am now because I try to pay a minimum of attention to it. Look at my cast. Everyone signed it. Even people I don’t know. I like this one best. It says “Have a nice day… Karen.” I don’t know any Karen. This one says, “Roses are red, violets are blue, for a good time call 589-4562.” And here. It’s a picture of a giraffe. But the giraffe doesn’t have spots. It’s striped, like a zebra.

I basically understand it, but it's hard to distinguish who this girl is talking to. Any ideas?

I need to know what colour everyone would call this. I know everyones monitors would see it differently but anyway.

I know its a purple/brown but I'd like some other title for it. i.e. 'musty grape'
