Daily Create #tdc1380 was called ‘Shakespearean Actors Day!’ and asked that we record ourselves speaking some song lyrics in a Shakespearean style. I decided to do an extract from Demi Lovato’s ‘Confident‘ as it it a song I have listened to quite a bit recently and relate to a lot.
@ds106dc #tdc1380 #ds106 I thought I'd go with some Shakespearen Confidence for this Daily Create! soundcloud.com/betty-wild/sha…

Bethany Lockett (@BettyWildling) November 08, 2015These are the words I used;
“This is my game
And you better come to play.
I used to hold my freak back
Now I’m letting go
I make my own choice
Yeah I run this show.”
This reminded me very much of the viral challenge #15SecondShakespeare where people read 15 seconds of pop song lyrics in Shakespearean style. It caught on to various celebrities who often challenged other celeb friends to get involved.
A personal favourite was by Karen Gillan;
My #15SecondShakespeare thanks @r_jacz and I nominate @imrosemciver and @jenmorrisonlive

Very well enunciated! I like that you pulled in some outside info for this assignment as well, it does a good job putting the assignment. Also a very good job finding lyrics that contrast with the time period, but not necessarily with the tone.
