I don't know if you saw my question regarding this in the suggestions thread, but I'd really like to have the sound of a drum when the ghost makes his appearances.

Is this allowable? Pretty please?
I will check.

I probably don't need to introduce myself to anyone here, but I am a stickler for correctly addressing people indeed.
So, Devorah - what's it supposed to be? :D
Well, I've never seen Downton Abbey, so you've got me there. From the reading I did yesterday on this, the "Missus" pronunciation didn't arise until maybe the nineteenth century, or late eighteenth. I think that at the time this play was written, "Mistress" would have been a more common and much more respectful appellation, so I'd like to stick with that. Thank you!

I can pull out my young man's voice... :D (but if you want a man, that's fine -- I've got loads of other projects to catch up on... :lol: or maybe one of the men with a gender neutral part wants to switch... )
I did actually want gender perfect casting for all except the three unnamed servants. Dramatic roles have been going fast lately, sorry about that!

But if you'd like to negotiate a trade with one of our servants, you're free to do so. :wink:

I will change in my butler suit for Vellum's clothes if you wish.

Thanks, Todd

Works for me. Then, Todd can read for Vellum and TJ can be our butler. And then it looks like we are full. Plays have been filling fast lately! Thanks, everyone!

Being full is the good news. Now for the less good:

https://wiki.librivox.org/index.php?title=Music_%26_Sound_Effects_Rules

Sound effects not allowed. Might say that sound effects are specified in this particular text, but that is covered in the Wiki too (here, last bullet under Suggestions for Editing a Dramatic Work).

Why? Murky area for sound effects. The person who uploaded the drum sound called it PD, but did the drummer agree to that? Are any of the drum riffs themselves copyrighted (the entry says one is from JFK's funeral march)? Just too messy an area for us to get mired in.

I don't think just having the stage direction say that a drum sounds will hurt the appeal of the cataloged play at all.

Thanks, Todd

Why, thank you, Todd! You're such a gentleman! I've always wanted to try my hand and butling. Ever since... well, ever since I read your definition earlier today! :lol:

With regard to the drumming, I wonder if we could generate our own PD sounds? I'll put a note in the Discussion forum.

I believe we can. But I don't have a drum, or anything else I can think of that would create a convincing drum-like sound.

What kind of drum sound do you need? I do have a (archaic kind of) drum here; I don't know if it's gonna record right but I could try. Only I am not a drummer :)

Fantome could always tummy-drum a brisk tattoo on his Sixpack-of-Steel, but I fear these days he will need a stunt double. :wink:
