I tried to vary my position from the mic for some of the shouts. If you don't feel it works well let me know and I can easily redo :)

I'm editing Act II together now and have discovered that we are missing a some lines for Claude that should go at around 1:35. I apologize for how difficult to read this Project Gutenberg version of the script is! Claude's lines come after (Madame and PAULINE examine the ring.)

Mel. [to BEAUSEANT and GLAVIS]. Fie, gentlemen! princes must be generous?—[Turns to DAMAS, who watches them closely.] These kind friends have my interest so much at heart, that they are as careful of my property as if it were their own!

By the way -- I've gotten through Act I and II, and your reading of the part is excellent. You do a great job of conveying the depth of Melnotte's emotions. He seems proud, but not arrogant - ambitious, but so vulnerable. He is such a poetic soul. When you read the passage where he describes his palace, it's easy to see why Pauline falls for him! :D
