I searched on YouTube for previous actors having played the role of Queen Margaret- primarily due to being able to use it as a learning process and being able to critique what aspects of the performance I felt portrayed the character accurately and honestly.
The Actor seen in this clip from the 2012 ESU National Shakespeare Competition did not perform the monologue in which I will perform, however, I believed this helped me more in understanding the characters actions in later scenes and her interaction more with those she 'despises'.

I also looked at a clip of Branca Ferrazo performing the monologue in which I will be performing. This helped realize what level of emotion was needed, due to the actor playing the role more upset than angry which I thought was less appropriate.
This performance also helped me with the pronunciation of specific words such as 'sepulchre' and 'environed'.
