Ancient Mariner: Tomas, your second voice sounded quite a bit lunatic scary LOL And I loved the sort of scottish accent you gave the crew :9:

and phew ! I finished assembling the whole :shock: The culprit fay is half a minute longer still but this one was trickier to assemble, many more voices.

But the outcome sounds great ! Awesome job by Craig ! And all the others as well. And I think we made a good choice with the narration clustered before each Part.

Ulalume, so much easier to assemble, only two readers, what bliss after the Mariner LOL

Tomas: your narrator sounds like he just escaped from a sanatorium :help: outwardly calm, yet one notices the tension, and then in the end his barriers break down and he shows his lunacy. TOTALLY POEsque. :thumbs: It's not stated expicitly but I think one can safely assumed that he killed Ulalume himself. :?

Excelsior is such a beautiful poem :9: I'm glad we all hard a part in that one. Tomas, somehow your youth appears quite like a feverish zealot to me (that's probably what he was). Only Leanne managed to shake his resolution a little bit it seems ;) your Excelsior was a bit less forceful there LOL :thumbs: Although always the same word, you managed to make it fit the situation each time. Well done. (I hope I managed just as well with my nevermores in the Raven.)

And I also finished Yussouf. Well done again, we three sound great together :9:

As for Helluo :lol: you make him quite camp, Tomas. Somehow he is too funny even on the brink of death. Very entertaining. This whole poem resembles a sort of farce with strange characters anyway, so this is very fitting. It's PL ok but I cannot assemble it yet, as I first have to correct my PL note. Will try to get to it over the weekend.

Backlog worked off, phew.

Wow, thank you for assembling these, Sonia. :9: I peeked a listen at a few, and I think they've come together wonderfully. Our listeners are in for a treat with this one!

I've uploaded my first 8 solos for PL. I had actually forgotten we don't have very many solos in this one. :lol: I only have 12 more left now. We may actually get this done before November, if I manage to get the rest of my files completed in the next week.

EDIT: Here are 2 more DRs from me...

I just recorded my missing line for the Ruling passion and assembled the whole thing. Sounds very funny :lol:

Comus assembled. I like the singsong voice, Tomas, although I don't even think it was required after the first song, afterwards there was no mention of singing ;) but: it's totally cool this way, so your endeavour has not been in vain. I love the outcome:

and here are the Quacks LOL the beginning was quite funny but the ending sooo sad :( I don't want to think how many people died because they believed in such patents.

I loved the threatening way you screamed out The Sleeping Potion, Tomas :thumbs: from then on the tone changes into the morbid.

much easier to assemble and much more entertaining in my opinion is the Jester's Sermon. Tomas !!! Excellent performance. You probably were a jester in your previous life in the middle ages :mrgreen: You and Craig made a very great poem here. :9:
