Original Practice - Shakespeare's Craft | Ben Crystal | TEDxBergen

[@laurataylor6423]

This guy has the most pleasant voice and speaking style. No doubt his experience as a Shakespearean actor and his passion his craft make him an amazing presenter

[@kaymuldoon3575]

Love his voice.

[@Martin-sk4ff]

His experience, his passion and... his legendary father.

[@catnior]

His voice is hot

[@mitekillem]

Dude. This just makes Shakespeare so much more easy to interpret, accessible, digestible, it brings out the color of the characters, and IT'S MUSICAL. The flow of the words has a more human rhythm and flow to it more like a soloist, and less like a drummer.

[@JosephMcKenzie-h8o]

Yes, we need to be reminded about the fundamentals of theatre. No better expert than Ben Crystal to give us the very essence of the theatrical experience. I think Ben Crystal is Shakespeare's greatest modern champion.

[@brookenjonas]

I love him and his father’s work so much ❤️

[@simonlyon1036]

Ben - you're the most inspirational speaker I've ever heard. Get thee a university post.

[@MLD.Ltd.]

Actually with all of his great Shakespearian flair he could be a great Doctor!

[@TheWolfe515]

When I was there I remember how he entranced the audience. It doesn’t translate completely through the recording. It’s so close though. Favorite ted talk I’ve seen.

[@kasperi75]

Ben is just fantastic. A true class act. From Finland with love.

I can’t believe that my recommendations led me to you! As another performing Ben Crystal, you are a brilliant man, I’ll be purchasing your books shortly, and I look forward to seeing you on the google results for our name 😉

More people need to see this talk...

Nostalgia is a modern, coined word to describe home sickness in modern pathological terms. First observed in America among recent immigrants in the early 1900's, the word was coined just 100 years ago and quickly was broadly adopted I'm the rest of the English speaking world.

Saudade

[@fernablu]

Thnak you so much, this presentation just got me an idea for my essay !

[@ANGLofficial]

I want him has the doctor; first line: “finally ginger!!”

[@ianhowlett4682]

Ben Crystal is a true master.

[@Do27gg]

I’ve hated Shakespeare all my life up until finding out about this man and his father

[@michelmoutinho]

I love Ben Crystal

[@donfriend1035]

He had a clear focus which is to promote Warwickshire English as spoken by Shakespeare. But Burbage wasn't from that part of the country. No doubt he spoke it more as he himself spoke which was probably London.

[@oldswordlady12]

This is beautiful and brilliant!

[@MrUncleTings]

he should audition to be the be the first ginger doctor

[@anneteller3128]

I am so frustrated. Once I found a video of actual actors in costume on stage giving an example of Shakespeare in OP. It was delightful and I wanted to show it to some of my friends. I cannot find it. Now, all I can find is mostly Ben or his Dad or both talking about Shakespeare in OP and sometimes giving a very short example. OR, other people talking about Shakespeare in OP, some with no examples, and some with very short examples. Lot's of talking, very short examples. Is there anywhere a video where there are actors on stage (not just their pictures) but actual actors in costume giving an example of acting Shakespeare in OP?

[@johnwarner3968]

Brilliant. Bravo 👏. This gives new meaning to Shake-speare made old again! Original. To be or not to be, heard and intimately listened to. Thank you 🙏❤️

[@benfica00]

Well said!

[@FunnyGuyTimmy]

LOL was no one recording his headset mic audio?

[@rachelhorwitz9086]

FunnyGuyTimmy It is SO annoying!!!!!!

[@rebeccajones_staff-heritag9522]

Auto captions really hate the Welsh accent.

[@vindolanda6974]

Sadly the modern Globe has gone off track.

[@oldnelson4298]

His accent is absolutely bizarre in this!

[@riadiat-exo1514]

Sad

[@zeddeka]

Why's he speaking with what sounds like a bad attempt at an American accent now? If you look at his older videos, he has his original Welsh accent, then he has a southern English accent. I have to say I can't quite take him seriously - like a lot of theatre actors he is quite over the top at times and Uber theatrical. It comes across as a persona he's adopted, and it's hard to see who the real person actually is.

[@mike-oxmol]

I haven't followed him for a long time but it's possible he's speaking in a way that's easier for an international audience who might have trouble with english in general, let alone a welsh accent?

[@shakespeareontoast]

Got it in one 🙂@@mike-oxmol
