What are Prose and Verse? | Text Detectives | Royal Shakespeare Company

RSC Voice Practitioner Nia Lynn defines what we mean by Prose and explores, together with RSC Actors, the difference in discovering details about characters who speak using prose rather than verse. This film uses an extract from Hamlet and Ophelia's exchange in Act 3 Scene 1 of Hamlet, which is in prose.

How do I become part of RSC as an actor?

[@sbraypaynt]

I think the fact that you're asking that on a youtube comment section likely shows that you have very little motivation and zero understanding of how the world works

[@chilledofmin7458]

Man, I'm doing GCSE english and I know more about the structure of literature than this lot. Do actors genuinely get paid to speak loudly at upper class people on a stage? This is not European culture, it's just being pretentious.
