Chapter 32 for spotcheck: https://librivox.org/uploads/rapunzelina/spanishbrothers_32_alcock_128kb.mp3 23:53

Chapter 34 for PL: https://librivox.org/uploads/rapunzelina/spanishbrothers_34_alcock_128kb.mp3 17:00

Chapter 33 had a couple of lines by Alcayde's servant and Benevidio's daughter, that I couldn't find in the MW. I've contacted SweetPea in case she can record those, if not, I'll advertise in the orphaned parts thread.

32 is spot check PL OK.

34 is PL OK however I did notice that most of the characters were louder than the narration.

SweetPea was in chapter 34, she isn't listed in 33.

Thank you! I applied some Compression on 34, I do hope it's at least a bit better. https://librivox.org/uploads/rapunzelina/spanishbrothers_34_alcock_128kb.mp3

And Chapter 35: https://librivox.org/uploads/rapunzelina/spanishbrothers_35_alcock_128kb.mp3 19:16

35 is PL OK. I did want to point one thing out in case you wanted to change it.

5:08 – The translation for the Spanish proverb is given. With the King or the Inquisition,
Hush! Hush!"
From what I remember only the Spanish has been provided before and none of the translations. I prefer translation but wanted to point it out for consistence in case it was an oversight.

I wondered the same thing when I got to this point, but decided to leave the translation. It had a nice flow.

:hmm: hmmm, what do you propose? I could collect the intros from the readers but I don't think everyone included a "role read by name" part...


Next 2 chapters:

In Chapter 38, there are again some unassigned lines, belonging to Dona Inez, originally read by SweetPea. Rachel hasn't gotten back to me yet, so I think that will also go to the orphaned roles post, in the end so as to see what else is missing, and advertise for all together.

35- I like it as well especially since I don’t speak Spanish. :wink:

DP - if you want to do the intro/exit I can pull the characters together for you. I just finished editing Crime and Punishment so I have more time to help now if you need it.

Missing lines- Depending on where in the text the lines are they could also be read by the narrator. In some cases that may be better than a new voice.

I haven't done this particular thing before, so I am prepared to do it again if something is not right. I did my credit 2 different ways, so hopefully there is something there you can use.

I don't know if this makes a difference of if it will be deleted anyway, but I just thought I'd mention that my character in Chapter 30 is Juliano El Chico, not Juan El Chico (Juan is a different character).

160 Chapter 30 AdeledePignerolles Duration 10:59 Chapter 30 Narrator, Carlos, Juan El Chico, Gaspar Benevidio
