A.Z. Foreman | Shakespeare's Sonnets 27 and 28 in Early Modern English pronunciation @a.z.foreman74 | Uploaded 8 months ago | Updated 20 hours ago
I’ve set myself the task of recording all of Shakespeare’s sonnets in reconstructions of what various types of London English sounded like in the late Elizabethan/early Jacobean period. I’m recording them at a rate of about one every week. Most are subscriber-only on my Patreon account. Go ahead and make a pledge there to access them: http://patreon.com/azforeman
I am making just a select few, like this one, publicly available right now. If you'd like to hear this recording without the background music just download the audio file:

For this one I went with a relatively conservative type of speech for the period, preserving the fricative in words like "night", and with fairly low mid-vowels.
