A.Z. Foreman | Halloween Special: Hamlet Meets his Father's Ghost (Shakespeare in Early Modern Pronunciation) @a.z.foreman74 | Uploaded 1 year ago | Updated 1 day ago
"I am thy father's spirit"
A Shakespearean ghost special for Halloween (or, as Shakespeare would've called it, All-hallond Eve). This is the scene from Hamlet where Hamlet speaks with his father's ghost, voiced in Early Modern pronunciation by yours truly. As I often do, I voiced the two characters with slightly different types of Early Modern speech. Hamlet's father has a more archaic accent (e.g. with lower GOAT and MEAT vowels, a dorsal fricative in words like "night", use of the TAUT vowel in "strange" etc.)
N. B. There are some slight mismatches between the First Folio text displayed here and the actual reading.
If you like this video and want to help me make more things like it, wherein I read texts in dead accents, consider making a pledge at my patreon.
