William Shakespeare's Hamlet Millennial Translation

Updating the Bard to the 21st century

By: Nick James, William Shakespeare

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

William Shakespeare is the most well known author in the English language. His plays have transcended time and are loved all over the world. There is just one problem. No one speaks old English anymore and I've never heard anyone speak in iambic pentameter, have you? When most people read Shakespeare they miss out on all of the wonderful subtext there is. With that in mind, The Millennial Translations were born. We are going through every single play and updating the language from Old English to Millennial Slang. Line by line was reviewed and updated with language that keeps the original intent but with new phrasing to bring out all of the wonders that is Shakespeare. Come enjoy this classic play with a modern twist.

A.I. voice mistakes ruin this

The A.I. reader makes so many mistakes of pronunciation and pauses at the wrong times, completely changing the meaning. For example, the passage might say: "find the man's son. Servants, go now!" but A.I. reads it as "find the man's son's servants." Also, the A.I. voice has insufficient flourish to pull off Millenniel slang like "bros or ho's" or "cray-cray." This is supposed to make Shakespeare easier to understand, and, it does to some degree, but having an A.I. voice vs. any human reader really detracts from it's primary purpose.
