The Queen of Denmark, Hamlet’s mother, recently married to Claudius. Gertrude loves Hamlet deeply, but she is a shallow, weak woman who seeks affection and status more urgently than moral rectitude or truth. 

I'm looking for a medium ranged to deep woman voice.

I ACCEPT EVERY ACCENT.

  • (trying to convince Hamlet to forget his father) My dear Hamlet, stop wearing these black clothes, and be friendly to the king. You can’t spend your whole life with your eyes to the ground remembering your noble father. It happens all the time, what lives must die eventually, passing to eternity. 

  • (as Hamlet sees the Ghost) And how are you doing, staring into the empty air and talking to nobody? Your eyes give away your wild thoughts, and your hair is standing upright, like soldiers during a call to arms. Oh my dear son, calm yourself and cool off your overheated mind! What are you staring at? 

  • (telling Claudius and Laertes about Ophelia's death) Climbing into the tree to hang the wreath of weeds on the hanging branches, she and her flowers fell into the gurgling brook. Her clothes spread out wide in the water, and buoyed her up for a while as she sang bits of old hymns, acting like someone who doesn’t realize the danger she’s in, or like someone completely accustomed to danger. But it was only a matter of time before her clothes, heavy with the water they absorbed, pulled the poor thing out of her song, down into the mud at the bottom of the brook.

Ehi there! So, I actually like your voice on Gertrude, but I'd ask if you could maybe re record the second line, because I've always thought of this line as more dramatic. Think that now Hamlet has just killed Polonius in front of her, than started screaming and insulting her and is now looking in the void talking nonsense. So... Yeah, I think she'd be a little stressed at least XD

    Hi, thanks for your message! Here's the link to the re-recorded second line: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1jgme9K6hpcO7XHTo8g8XJTPkj3CtjDTh I wasn't sure how else to send the clip to you. Here's my discord, if that helps you contact me. I can also send the line there, if that's better: SquirrelDreamer11#6314
