don't complain...compared to what I have in store for poor Géronte in the final act, you really got off light. :wink: Alan will be in for some serious beating (I hope he still likes me after that :? )

Thanks for the quick PL :9:

final act for Scapin. I really felt like a split personality in this cudgelling scene. I did at least 6 different voices there, it was challenging but also high fun :mrgreen: I do pity poor Géronte (a bit....)

Well, this was a great opportunity, thank you for letting me play this scoundrel, Todd. Now I need to prepare myself to play a nice convent girl for once :lol: in Tomas' gothic play. Talk about change of scenery. :wink:

Oh what a wonderful performance! Especially when you play 7 people at once - all with different voices - supposedly attacking and beating you! PL OK!

Thanks, Todd

Hi Todd

Having looked at the role of Geronte in more details I think it is too big a role for me to take on considering the technical and other problems I am having at present. So I think it would be better for me to give it up now and let someone else take it on.

Perhaps I could do the few lines of Carle instead, just help out.

Thank you both. (Alan - I can understand - Kitty gives you quite a beating in Act 3. I feel sore just having listened to her half of the dialog!)

I think you'll like this one! :lol:
:mrgreen: indeed, you know me so well. I extremely like your hearty laughs and it's not the first time I tell you !!! And we got spoiled here with them. Wonderful temperament, Ava :thumbs: also no errors or missing lines, so Zerbinette is completely PL ok.

Thanks. Why did she only show up in one act ? :hmm:

Just one thing puzzled me: right at 9:01 you are clearing your throat. Was that something you wanted to cut out ? I checked a lot through the text but couldn't find any stage direction that asked for this.

Anyway, nothing to reupload, if it's not in the text, Todd can simply ignore it. :)

It's too bad, Alan, as you're perfectly cast for Geronte :(

But if Todd will put me in, as much less perfect casting, I'd like to give him a go.

Hope your technical problems smooth out, they can be infuriating!

Yes, I put you in the MW for Geronte. Wear some good padding....

Thanks, Todd

highly enjoyable. Even if I hear only your side of our dialogue, I remember my own quite well and this will sound so great together :9: You are really great when you are in a rage :lol:

And I was thrilled that you adopted the rolled 'r' also here, so that my impersonation of you in Act 1 is quite similar. Thank you ! :thumbs:

Everything PL ok. Wonderful performance, Todd.

(hehe and as predicted, you are forgiving me in the end ;) nobody can be mad at me for long, knew it :mrgreen: )

great job again, Alan. Have your technical problems been resolved ? Anyway, the recording is perfect quality in my opinion. And Carle is accurately portrayed :thumbs: No errors, PL ok.
