You all sounded wonderful in what was a very fun - though confusing - play!

I just listened to acts 1-3 and they sound wonderfully hilarious. :lol: Everybody was great in their roles. :thumbs:

I'll mark Act 3 straight PL ok.

A few notes for Acts 1 and 2 though:

Act 1:

> from 0:20-0:25: "As it is Acted at the THEATRE-ROYAL INDRURY-LANE, By Her Majesty's Servants" - not sure if we need that, since this audiobook is obviously not performed by this old troupe of actors

> from 0:54-1:01: "LONDON, Printed for BERNARD LINTOTT, at the Cross-Keys between the Two Temple-Gates in Fleet-street." - also I think we don't need to include the publisher's info

> at 7:26: "Miranda.... read by Jenn Broda" - the reader's name in the voice credit is missing. I think Jenn forgot to put it in the first Act, but it's complete in the second, if I remember correctly

Act 2:

>at 16:19: "sighs" - he already gave a sigh here, so I think this can be cut

Excellent editing otherwise. :thumbs:

Will PL the rest tomorrow

Sonia
I will be on vacation from Wednesday 27 March till Sunday 14 April

and finished the other two acts as well... what mayhem in Act 4 :lol: I giggled quite a lot. And the finale was excellent too, now that I finally know all the intrigues in the correct sequence.

Wonderful play-acting by the entire group. :thumbs: excellent editing !

Act 5 is PL ok

A few notes for Act 4:

> at 15:20: "weeps aloud" - can be cut, I think I'm weeping enough here :lol: then the scene is even in more confusion if not interrupted by stage directions
> at 18:22: "re-enter at the lower door" - you can cut "Sir Jealous" here, as it's both Jealous and Patch that go out the door
> at 28:17: "sighs" - can be cut, Sir Francis gives a heart-felt sigh here

thanks

Done - except that Jenn still doesn't have a Read By voice credit - I'll have to go look in some other play.

Thanks, Todd

Done. Note that I took out my own "Ah" at what was 28:17 as well so we didn't have "ah - ah" once I removed the stage direction

Thanks, Todd

(Now off on the jenn broda voice credit hunt....)

Opps! So sorry! Had made a mental note to get that to you. Obviously that note got lost in my head somewhere :roll:

All fine now. Just waiting on Spot PL - and then any fixes I have to make - before cataloging.

I can't remember that you had another Ah there...I don't think it would have been strange to have both people sigh :lol:

But: all Spot PL ok now and this is ready for the catalogue :thumbs:

Brilliant job from all ! Thanks

Thank you. We have a lot of fun working on these together. Sonia plays the perfect empathetic and encouraging DPL with the heart of gold, and I play the stern, authoritative, washed out and over-the-hill cigar-chopping editor. In other words, she does all the work and I take all the credit.

Thanks, Todd
