I think this message got buried in the thread, along with my offer to read the second judge.

You are right, I'm very sorry about that.

For "Guard" - it's coming out at 84dB. Could you amplify it so it is within 86dB - 92dB?

Of course, you can play second judge as well. I'll assign it to you. If you could make your voice a bit different, just for contrast, that would be good.

Thanks a lot Larry - great work.

Act 4 is PL OK!

Act 5
You just missed a little bit off the lines, around 2:21, where there's a stage direction [to the Judges], you should then say "I have told it all; For pity's sake lead me away to death"

Thanks. Just a reminder in case you forgot - you also asked to do Second Guest (also reading line of "A Cardinal").

No worries! I have amplified the guard file and reuploaded it here:

Thank you for assigning me the second judge role. I will be sure to alter my voice as you recommend.

Here's the second judge:

https://librivox.org/uploads/toddhw/cenci_secondjudge_5.mp3 16 seconds

I know that the volume of this file falls outside the target range, but I can't amplify the audio more without going into the red. I think it's because the file is so short that the required silence at the end of the file and between the two lines dwarfs the voiced parts. I think the volume of this part will be fine once it's in context, but I am willing to make changes if you would like me to.

Yeah, exactly - don't worry so much about volume for these really short parts, I will edit if it's necessary later.

Thanks for this, PL OK!

And yes, please read Third Guest - same applies as before, if you can contrast it somewhat. :)

Sorry about the missed line.
Here is the corrected version.

Also, Second Guest and A Cardinal.
I did voice credits for them both, to use or not as you please.

I will be out of touch this Wednesday through to the next (27 Oct - 3 Nov). I should be able to get to the forum, but not MW or cataloging things.

Thanks, Todd

Thanks, Jenn. That was great - I really enjoyed your characterisation.
Just a few points, if you don't mind:
- About 3:12, there's a missing line: "Great God! How horrible! Some dreadful ill must have befallen my brothers."
- About 4:16, it should be "Oh, think what deep wrongs must have blotted out first love, then reverence..." - I hear "Oh, think what deep wrongs must have been blotted out - first love, then reverence..." - I know it's a very subtle difference! The tense just changes it slightly, as you're editing to insert a new line anyway, I thought it worth pointing this one out if you have the time to change it.
- About 4:42, it should be "have sought by patience, love and tears to soften him" - I hear "have sought by patient, love and tears to soften him" - again, very minor. If you have time to change it, that would be great.

Nicely done!
