I'm on jury service this week and next. I'll post this little amendment as soon as they let me out of that little room! :)

Re: Mary Barton by Elizabeth Gaskell (SOLO Version) -darv

The finishing post, at last! (PL rubberstamp pending of course) Thanks so much as always to my redoubtable cohorts, Bev and Martin. It's been a blast and a pleasure. Looking forward to the next. :D

Re: Mary Barton by Elizabeth Gaskell (SOLO Version) -darv

My apologies for a much longer hiatus than anticipated. I had to literally blow dust from the microphone. :oops:

Re: Mary Barton by Elizabeth Gaskell (SOLO Version) -darv

Just a quick heads-up, real life has gotten in the way for the time being, and I'm working away three days a week, hope to be back soon though and recording. Summary looks great!

Tony

Re: Mary Barton by Elizabeth Gaskell (SOLO Version) -darv

:lol: :lol: Your memoirs beg to be written, sir, in the style reminiscent (if such a thing were possible) of Alan Bennett meets Maupin's Tales of the City .

Re: Mary Barton by Elizabeth Gaskell (SOLO Version) -darv

I don't have a librivox recording where I've done many or very varied voices in a single project so nothing to recommend.

When I need voices for characters in my audio books, I'll often listen to actors. I did this with Mae West for one character, Reba McEntire for another, to n...

Re: Mary Barton by Elizabeth Gaskell (SOLO Version) -darv

Thanks, Martin. Naturally since Mancunian / Scouse rivalries go so far back having appropriate levels of mimicry with which to exchange banter comes in useful sometimes. Besides else, it seems the one accent that requires little effort for me, probably due to that fond proximity and the skits of Har...
