Hi Dave -

That's fine. In Richard's case that probably makes sense. Thanks!

Aaaaand we're off to Dramatic Works!

One more question: How dramatic are we meant to be? Do the same rules of reading books apply to dramas, or can one have a little fun with the characters?

For the record, I am planning to chew the scenery.

Ruth, I listened to Margaret's first file - it sounds awesome! I didn't PL it against the text, just listened for the performance, and I love it.

Thanks, om123 - you're in the MW. All accents are welcome - no need to sound (or be) British!

Hello NAK, and welcome to LibriVox! Glad to have you here. We ask that newcomers do a test recording to ensure that all the technical aspects are working okay. There's a link in the first post of this thread to the "Newbie Guide to Recording," including instructions on doing a test file. Please feel free to choose whichever role you'd like to read - line counts are listed in the magic window (on the first page of this thread) so you can see the sizes of the roles that are left. After you choose a role, I'd suggest doing one act of the character's lines as a test to make sure everything is sounding okay (and that you've got the technical side set up all right).

Any questions, let me know!

Thanks, Dave. ::Rubbing hands together gleefully.::

Dave, your Richard is sounding great. One small thing: in your next file, could you make sure to include "Richard, Duke of Gloucester, read by David Nicol"? Just so we have your voice credit for the cast list. Thanks!

I'd love to take a shot at RATCLIFF, give me a couple of days to get everything all set up and figured out, but can you keep that part for me?
