late convert to YouTube

hey everyone,
my colleagues have been teaching me about the wonders of YouTube and I'm now a fan. haha. Stumbled upon this via a few clicks after the One Laptop Per Child video. Portman is an intelligent thespian and I think the examples she gives at the end about the sounds she loves are quite original/literary.

Also, if you want to think deeper, her opening comments are quite useful for thinking about the genres of comedy/tragedy. The Year 2s will be studying Webster's Jacobean tragedy this year. Think about the good tragedies you have seen, and the good comedies (Superbad not included. :)
