Got to record the next act (always nice after an especially tough day). Let's see how many mistakes my muddled brain made this time

sorry about your tough day, hope all is well again, Campbell

thank you for the next act, it's really appreciated how fast you are at it. We're always happy when the narrator is in.

I found only 5 missing lines. It's more towards the end, so maybe by then you were starting to get tired.

> at about 2:41: “she writes” is still missing once, there should be 4 in a row

> at about 5:41: “Exit at another door.”

> at about 6:04: “Horner, aside to Lady Fidget”

> at about 8:03: “Enter PINCHWIFE, who seeing her writing, steals softly behind her and looking over her shoulder, snatches the paper from her.”

> at about 8:12: “Enter SPARKISH.”

thanks, only one act left !

Managed to fix this one, but not record the next. Hopefully tomorrow?

thank you, all PL ok now. Very often the final act is the shortest, so it may even go faster than expected. But there's still plenty of time. With 4 acts narrators in, Tomas already has plenty on his hands to edit

have a nice weekend !

And last one! May be the shortest act, but it had a lot of action!

yes sorry about that, I seem to have been mistaken

a lot of asides going on again. But excellently "acted out" again, especially the numerous whispers.

I did find a few things to correct though....

> at 1:03: "Pausing" - I think that is only after he speaks, so the name can be cut out

> at about 2:38: missing line: "Whispers to Mrs. PINCHWIFE, who makes signs with her hand for him to be gone"

> at about 2:55: missed line: "Enter Sir JASPER FIDGET."

> at 3:12: "Exit" - you say "exit Horner" but it's actually Sir Jasper who goes out.

A simple "exit" is enough, you can cut out the name

> at about 4:00: missing line: "Exit"

> at about 7:46: missing: "whispers"

> at 8:14: "aside to Quack" - you can cut out "Horner" here as it's in the middle of the speech

> at about 8:48: missing: "a dance of cuckolds" - this is a part where I would really love to have the visuals

thanks !

Thank you so much for your patience! I hope the wait was worth it, for here comes Margery:

oh wow this is excellent

how can anybody be soooo naive like Margery. She may actually be smarter and only play the naive to get her ways.

This whole script reminds me extremely of one of Molière's, especially the innocent wife part.

Wonderfully portrayed Availle, I believe this is a change from your usual repertoire. Great job.

Act 2 is already PL ok, but I have a few small notes for the other acts...

Act 3:

> at 1:15: "Pish, you jeer!" - you say "dear"

Act 4:

> at 2:16: repeat "Ay, dear bud" - can be cut out

> at 4:43: repeat "I vow, husband, he'll ne'er believe"

> at 8:51: "Well, 'tis e'en so" - you say "eleven" but this means "even" , "it's even so..."

Act 5:

> at 0:41: "but I had rather she should be angry with me than you, bud" - if I may make a suggestion for intonation, Margery here meant: "but I had rather SHE should be angry with me than YOU, bud"

> at 5:40: "pray, don't you go to make poor Mr. Horner believe to the contrary" - you say "Mr poor Horner", which sounds a bit strange

> at about 5:58: missing ALL line: "Ay, ay, ay."

> at 6:17: repeat: "And I must be a country wife still too" - can be cut out

thanks ! This is a huge boost towards the end, Margery was a central figure.

I sent a PM to Jonathan a few days ago asking for a progress update, but it seems he hasn't yet logged in to see it. I hope he responds by the end of next week, because otherwise I'll have to put Pinchwife back up for grabs.

Post by **Availle** » March 4th, 2019, 5:56 pm

Gosh, I missed a lot of things this time around, very sorry 'bout that...

I've reuploaded acts 3 and 5, but I didn't get the intonation right for the even at #4, so I'll have to try that one again.
Thanks for your patience!
