  100 Things to Hate Before You Die

  Claudia Stavola

  • 0

  Comedian Claudia Stavola understands we’re living in sensitive times and the word hate is controversial, so she doesn’t use it loosely. She only uses it for serious infractions like gender reveal parties, guys who wear shorts when it’s forty below, and Gwyneth Paltrow’s vagina candle.  
  You’ll be thoroughly entertained and in awe of how Stavola’s raucous sarcasm mirrors your inner most thoughts in this hilarious collection of easy-to-read essays. With her witty and insightful observations, she’s like a modern-day George Carlin, except hairier. (Hey, she’s Italian. She was born with a mustache). 
  100 Things to Hate Before You Die is astute, honest, and laugh-out-loud funny. Claudia shares her aggravation over a range of topics from mundane things like Fakebook, crappy gift-givers, and ukuleles on talent show auditions, to more thought-provoking topics such as people with no shame, the need for a license to parent, and the death of Eddie Van Halen.  
  Delivered with razor-sharp force, Stavola’s hysterical and unique takes on everyday a**holes makes this not only a great read for comedy lovers, but a must-read.

  The artistic creations made between about the 1860s and the 1970s are considered modern art. According to history, a Frenchman named Edouard Manet witnessed modern art in the 18th century. However, it was thought that the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood had begun modern painting before the Frenchman, given the works they produced throughout the 18th and 19th centuries lacked the typical academic art forms. Following the Pre-Raphaelites, various changes and movements occurred in the field of art.

  The Chronicle: BOOK ONE (January to March) 
   
  This is history at its best and most entertaining! One moment Liselotte, the Duchess of Orleans (1678) is observing the Prince of Orange consummating his marriage in thick woollen drawers… and the next, Harold Nicolson (1936) is at the Savoy Grill dining with the Prince of Wales and Mrs Simpson who is, "bejewelled, eyebrow-plucked, virtuous and wise". There's the young medical student watching his friend Samuel Wright (1864) bowing to the crowd as he is hanged on the roof of Horsemonger Lane Gaol. And then Joe Orton and the Beatles (1967), Philip Larkin and Kingsley Amis (1980), Captain Robert Scott and the South Pole (1912), John Betjeman, Barbara Castle, Joyce Grenfell, Alan Clark, Kenneth Williams and many other contributors… and not forgetting the anonymous but harrowing account of a witch’s trial by water (1731)

  Mastering the Russian Accent: A Guide for Actors is the essential resource for performers looking to convincingly portray Russian characters. This comprehensive audiobook breaks down the core differences between Russian and English phonetics, building a strong foundation for authentic accent work. It thoroughly covers the key sounds of a Russian accent, including consonant variations, pure vowels, and the distinctive rolled "r," along with techniques for developing appropriate vocal placement, resonance, and breath control for a natural delivery. Listeners will learn how stress, rhythm, and intonation contribute to a believable accent.
   
  Importantly, the audiobook goes beyond technical drills to explore the historical, cultural, and psychological influences shaping how Russian speakers use English. This includes insights into communication styles, formality, and the impact of cultural identity on speech. Understanding these nuances allows actors to create richer, more believable portrayals that resonate with audiences.
   
  Practical exercises reinforce the technical lessons, while analyses of professional actors' performances provide real-world examples of successful accent work. A dedicated media study guide offers valuable tools for continuous improvement and ongoing practice.
   
  This audiobook is invaluable for actors preparing for auditions, film and television roles, and stage productions requiring a Russian accent. By mastering the techniques and cultural insights provided, actors can bring depth, authenticity, and cultural nuance to their performances, significantly increasing their chances of successful casting and creating truly memorable characters.
