Hi Stepheather,
Thanks for giving the references to the lines; PL Okay for guardsman, noble, and woman. The crowd lines seem good, too.

Thanks,
Lora

Sorry to be away from the site for a few days. Thanks for the submissions, stepheather!

I have you down for Bellarose, redrun.

Redrun and stepheather, for the cadets, just like the crowd noises, I prefer that you give me more than I need, just in case. There are a lot of unnumbered cadets, especially in Act 4, and I would prefer you record as many as you can of those that might possibly be your numbered cadet. That way I can pick and choose from them and hopefully, all lines will be covered. The additional cadets don't need to be in a separate file; I can sort them out.

Thanks again for your recordings and your questions.

Mike

Well, you'll certainly have plenty to sort! For lines that are related (e.g., "THE CADETS: Mille dious!-- ... Capdedious!--", or multiple lines of "A CADET" that tie together), I've clustered my takes of the various lines close together. I also tossed in some "CONFUSED VOICES", where that made sense (these are all in act 4).
There may be trouble where "A CADET" enters a scene where all(?) numbered cadets have already spoken, though. (Edit to clarify: I've not recorded those)

Hi Mike,
Do you want me to try to PL these or is it better to have you listen and edit as you'd like? Either is okay with me.

Thanks,
Lora

May I please have an extension on second cadet? It’s coming up on the two months and I have a cold…

Thanks,
Stephanie

Please do PL as best you can -- it always helps to have another set of ears checking, just to see if there's anything obvious that being missed. When I edit I'll sort out what I need to use and what's extra.

Take whatever time you need. There's no rush to get this one finished.

Mike

MManolakes · Post by **MManolakes** » October 2nd, 2022, 8:53 pm

Redrun, thanks for all the effort, especially with the cadets. I appreciate it!

Mike

ADKreader1122 · Post by **ADKreader1122** » October 3rd, 2022, 4:16 am

Okay, Mike--will do my best. Thanks, L.

Hi Redrun,
All roles PL okay except for the first. Please check me on this but I think the page has another line at :12 after "...string..." It's "Yes--and a hook."

Thanks,
Lora

Post by **redrun** » October 3rd, 2022, 8:42 am

Ah, that's right, I read my counterpart's line, instead of my own. Thanks, and will correct.

Thanks, Redrun--PL Okay now. Lora

Making progress on the 2nd cadet--just have to re-record four lines and edit those!

stepheather · Post by **stepheather** » October 9th, 2022, 11:34 pm

Here's the 2nd Cadet, 2nd Act.

Named lines are at 1:32, 1:46, and 2:00. I included as many of the crowd lines and "another cadet"-type lines as I thought reasonable--but let me know if you want/need more! Also, please let me know if you want them read in a different tone of voice/with a different emphasis. I've acted; I can take direction.

Track length: 02:06

Working on the re-records and edits for act 4--hoping to get them posted today as well!

Thanks,
