You could be Judah's mother, if you like. There aren't any characters in every single chapter or even in every single book, but she's got a fairly large part and is in more than one book. If you'd like a different part once the MW's up, that's fine too. Thanks!

MW is up and tested.

Thank you so much! I'll work on filling out the MW soon.

Do you mind me claiming a few more from the different books? If not, I'd also like to do Woman 1, Hortator, Shepherdess and Roman woman in gallery

Hi,

Can I also narrate Book 2 and be Woman 4 in Book 1?

Thanks!

I can't access the scripts - can you make them public?

I don't mind at all! That would be great. Thanks so much!

Sorry about that! I'll work on fixing them.

The first book's texts should be fixed, and I'll work on the others. I miscalculated the number of sections because I only calculated one section per character instead of one per character per book, but I have a finished total of 80 sections. The MW is filled out and ready to be filled with claims.

I have made several parts gender specific, but there are enough neutral (161 neutral to 14 specific) that I hope to be able to leave them that way. Thanks everyone for claiming!

Here is Tirzah, Book 2 Chapter 6. I didn't know what you wanted me to do about the song, so I've given you a (horribly messed up

) sung version, and a spoken version. Or maybe you could sing it and upload a file for me to listen to?

I was leaving it up to whoever took that part to decide whether they wanted to sing it and if they wanted to make up a tune.

I think it sounds fine! If you'd rather I'll use the read version but I like how you sang it. PL OK!

Section 77 says gender specific, but not which gender you specifically want...

I think male/female voice is clearer when you are talking about individual parts.

Sorry about that! I never thought about the fact that 'Messala', 'Drusus', and 'Sanballat' don't sound as clear as 'George' and 'Bob'. I'd like a man to play Messala, since he's the major villain.

I'll change the MW. Thanks for pointing that out!

Thank you. Sure, use the sung version

And here is half of my narration

There were a lot of words, Greek and English, that I didn't know, so I will not be offended if you ask me to redo a bunch of sentences

Can I have more than one part? I would like to be Angel 1, the woman at the well, and either boy 1 or boy 2.

Thank you! That's okay, I don't really know how to pronounce them either.

Do you want me to name Book 3 Chapter 5 as a complete file, since it won't be edited?
