The Voice of Hamlet

The tone of voice that Benedict Cumberbatch uses during this soliloquy adds a sense of urgency and drama to this particular portion of the play. It sounds as if his voice is shaky, which reflects nervousness. He also appears to be very pale and sweaty during this scene also increasing the emotion of nervousness. It is very appropriate for this soliloquy because Hamlet is contemplating his life at this part of the play. Further through his soliloquy, Hamlet's voice begins to be more forceful the more passionate he gets about what he is saying (around 1:27).
