These "tongue-twisting" monologues are meant to be fast moving. Grasp what you can, as you get familiar with the linked phrases, and eventually master these. If you can grasp only one phrase, or even one vowel or one consonant¡ªthat's progress! With practice you'll pick up more and more, and when you can go through an entire scene with all the vowels, consonants, linking, and intonation in proper play, you will have accomplished a very demanding exercise. Don't feel bad about taking this step by step. It is important that you feel the focus of your points of vibration. As you get to know the scene try to stay "in synch" with the speaker and "mirror" the form and feeling of the speaker. There is some fun in discovering the rhythms of longer dialogues as you master the linked phrases, and a sense of accomplishment in being able to repeat these articulate and fluent.
