Well let me check Patty's test then. I am totally not surprised she passed all the technicals specifications

since Jay should know all about the correct settings by now

Other than that, the reading is absolutely great, well articulated, easy to understand and follow and - most importantly here for drama - very expressive.

Patty, you have passed the test on every level. Test: OK (a bit unorthodox, since it should have been done in the Listeners Wanted forum, but this will have to do.) If anyone ever asks you about your test, refer to this post.

The only thing you still need to do is register officially (or have you done that already ?) so we can create a personal Reader's Page for you. I have a feeling this may not be your only contribution, once you've caught the LibriVox bug.

So here's the poor old woman. The accent sounds like a conglomeration between pseudo-Irish, film-Scottish, and American. I hope it doesn't offend anyone's ethnic sensibilities too terribly much... It was, after all, an orphaned part, so I came riding in on my Irish-Scottish-American white steed to save the day...

No worries about copyrights for my songs -- they are all original compositions. You can sing them to your kids if you like.

Hi and thank you for the section. Does your wife now have her own account and forum name so I can add her to the database for the code generator for this project.

Thanks

PL Notes for Griselda in Belles
Missing Line at the end

From all my mates some lesson you might learn.

if you could edit and reupload using the same filename thanks

Hi Michele,
Sorry for missing that line. Thanks for catching that.
Here it is again with the line added. Ready again for PL.

Another issue: In previous plays I have edited, when there is a stage direction associated with the character such as -- HAROLD: (softly )blah, blah, blah -- it was read by the narrator as "Harold, softly" including the character name. In this play the narrator did not include the name. How do you want that edited? I have been going back to where the name had been spoken and adding it to the stage direction, but in some cases it does not sound completely contiguous. Any ideas?

I checked and Patty registered on February 1. So I opened her Reader Page just now and assigned her the role

Patty, here is your Reader Page: https://librivox.org/reader/12247

Quick question as I finish up the role of "Junior":

Eva (Emily) pronounces "Hippolyta" with a short "o" and Availle, who plays Hippolyta, says it with a long "o" -- but she doesn't actually say it in the play, only in the voice credits. I first recorded it like Availle with a long "o" because it's a Greek name. But when I did an online search, I found the English pronunciation would be more like Eva's. I've recorded both. Any preference?

I know, I know. Everyone is probably thinking: who cares? just get it done. it's the last bleepin' part..., but if anyone has a preference, I'm too tired to make life-altering decisions such as this one.

TJ:

In "real life" individuals pronounce the same name differently. (My last name--Gould--is sometimes pronounced like a certain precious metal; but my family--for generations--has pronounced it GOOld.) My recommendation is that you use the one that you are most comfortable with. I appreciate the care and concern you show for the project, but there are as many answers to that question as there are stars in the sky (and as many justifications for the answers).

Many thanks,

Philip
