I have an MFA in Theatre Performance from Wayne State University. For the past two years, I have taught Acting, Voice/Speech and Movement for the actor to University students (ages 17-30). I have also been a monologue coach for high school students (ages 14-18). I use Ashtanga Yoga as my main source for practice and rehearsal.

SHAKESPEARE ONLINE: YOGA FOR THE ACTOR 

HENRY V 

This day is called the feast of Crispian:
He that outlives this day, and comes safe home, 
Will stand a tip-toe when the day is named,
And rouse him at the name of Crispian.
He that shall live this day, and see old age,
Will yearly on the vigil feast his neighbours,
And say 'To-morrow is Saint Crispian:'
Then will he strip his sleeve and show his scars. 
And say 'These wounds I had on Crispin's day.' 
This story shall the good man teach his son;
And Crispin Crispian shall ne'er go by,
From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be remember'd;
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition:
And gentlemen in England now a-bed
Shall think themselves accursed they were not here, 
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks 
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day.
