Shakespeare frequently used iambic pentameter to write dialogue for the more important characters in his plays. To speak in iambic pentameter, use ten syllable lines broken up into five "foots." In a foot, the first syllable is not stressed, and the second is stressed. For instance, say a phrase like, "at once, we must set forth to seize the day" by emphasizing every second syllable (in this case, every second word.) Trochaic rhythm is the opposite of iambic pentameter in terms of the pattern of pronunciation of syllables. Instead of "feet," trochaic rhythm is comprised of "troches." Deliver ten syllable lines in two syllable "troches," with the first syllable being stressed and the second not being stressed. A perfect example of trochaic rhythm is the line "Double, double, toil and trouble; fire burn and cauldron bubble" from Macbeth. Speak in rhymed couplets to sound distinctively Shakespearean. Shakespeare would group two successive lines with rhyming words at the end of each. Couplets can be grouped together to emphasize the effect (i.e., rhyming last words in lines one and two, with different rhyming words in lines three and four). There are many exemplary rhyming couplets in Romeo and Juliet, such as: "Did my heart love till now? Forswear it, sight. For I ne'er saw true beauty till this night."
