and the long awaited final moment for Beverley. Yes, you really know how to die in style, Todd. :thumbs: Quite dramatic and worthy of the best Shakespeare deaths. I always find it astonishing that the characters seems to die, say, in the middle of the act, but then go on speaking and agonizing until the end ;)

Excellent finale. Although the tears were not flowing, I had a bit of a lump in my throat and I physically felt the pain at some points.

PL ok. Thanks for an outstanding job here, Todd.

Acts 2 and 4 fixed and re-uploaded.

Since I read cold, I was wondering how long I was going to keep going in Act 5 until I finally expired. "Enough already" I said to myself several times as I was ready to expire and then had to revive myself yet again when I saw more lines on the next page....

Thanks, Todd

But I just want to remind you that a deep voice does not an honorable man make... This Lewson is a real hero!

Happy Listening!

Dawson feels completely inadequate as a bloke now! :lol:

If there’s ever another remake of “Dragnet”, we now know where to go for Joe “Just The Facts, Ma’am” Friday. :D

Ha, ha, ha! Yes, I did picture myself in black and white, wearing a fedora, while recording... :wink:

By the way, your Dawson is fantastic. I wouldn't want to meet him in a dark alley, without my sword... or my... what does Joe Friday carry anyway?

excellent voice TJ :clap: I love the raspy touch you gave him. Did you have a sore throat or did you do it on purpose ? In any case, careful not to ruin your vocal chords like that :lol: I myself looooove doing raspy voices, so I know what I'm talking about. I once lost my voice for a few hours after one especially long performance :help: All was back to normal soon thankfully.

Anyway....Lewson Act 1 totally PL ok. You show them, girl !

wow, powerful performance, Linda :thumbs: While at the beginning Mrs Bev. was a bit too naive for my taste, she finally has her eyes opened and her scorn and disdain is really excellently portrayed here. You give Stukeley a nice harangue here. This is will be a wonderful dialogue with Tomas.

I will mark it PL OK. Just one single note here, which is optional though:

> at 2:00: "said she had business with her Lewson" - you say "Lawson" instead of "Lewson". But that may be trivial, if at least you yourself say it consistently that way. I let Tomas decide how much accuracy he wants in the pronunciation of names.

Yes, I know i said Lawson, but I didn’t want to go back and re-do the sentence, because I figured that Mrs. Beverley can mispronounce his name once in a while. She does have more pressing things on her mind than Lewson, you know. Lol.

thanks Alan, glad to hear from you again :) Jarvis Act 2 is also PL ok. He seems at least to be a really likeable character, unlike some others I had to hear so far in this play :mrgreen:
