I don't do drama, but I would do the opening lines of Martin Scorsese's Raging Bull, a pro to this is you don't have to be a good actor to do it convincingly! I've typed the monologue as best as I can remember it below:
"I remember those cheers.
They still ring in my ears.
After years,
They remain in my thoughts.
Go to one night, I took off my robe
And what did I do? I forgot to wear shorts.
I recall every fall,
Every hook,
Every jab.
The worst way a guy can get rid of his flab.
As you know my life wasn't drab.
Though I'd much....though I'd rather hear you chear when you delve.....no, no
Though I'd rather hear you cheer when I delve into Shakespeare,
"A horse, a horse, my kingdom for a horse!",
I haven't had a winner in six months.
[lights cigar]
And though I'm no Olivier,
I would much rather......
And though I'm no Olivier,
If he fought Sugar Ray he would say,
That the thing ain't the ring it's the play.
So give me a stage,
Where this bull here can rage.
And though I can fight,
I'd much rather hear myself recite.
[stretches out arms]
That's entertainment.......
That's entertainment." - Robert De Niro as Jake La Motta in Raging Bull.
