Will this affect my monologue negatively? (1 Viewer)

Hi everyone,

So this is going to be a pretty strange question but here goes...

I recently got an expander and am yet to get braces and I have a pretty bad lisp and unclear speech. Apparently it is meant to get better, but if it doesn't improve should I just not do a monologue? I don't want to lisp my way through it, because I know we are marked on our speech!
But I love performing and have no idea what other I.P I could possibly do.

I am worried :/

Any opinions/help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Could you incorporate a lisp into your performance as a character?

Hmmm, not really :/ I've kind of already selected a monologue a little while ago.

Thanks for answering though!

It probably be better to change as as I think speech dictation is part of marking criteria..

The lisp and discomfort wears away a few weeks after your braces are on, so if your monologue presentation date is several weeks after then you should be fine If not, it may be better to switch.

Thank you - I hope you're right!
