Here's the queen....though by the end of Act 1 she calls for the king to give his opinion, I had the strong impression it is she who is taking all the decisions at the court. The king strikes me more as a feeble puppet who does what she wants. :lol:

indeed short, well the king has nothing much to say that hasn't been approved by the queen before :mrgreen: and you made him sound a bit like he knows it but tries his best to sound regal ;)

well done, Alan, PL ok, thanks. Now I am curious how different you will make Mark sound. He's of another mettle.

Thanks Sonia
I made this King soft spoken as he seems to accept things easily. King Mark will be more authoritarian as I think he is the more powerful and warlike king.

All 4 acts are PL OK!
Well read and characterised :thumbs:

A couple of comments:
The voice credit at the beginning should not include Act 1 and the credits are not needed at the start of other acts. I think Todd can edit around this so it does not need to be redone.
The volumes are all over 91 db. Todd will probably adjust this before editing but it would be better in future to get nearer to 89 db, our preferred target.

Thanks again for reading this crucial role :wink:

Thank you for the feedback, Alan. I shall keep your suggestions in mind going forward. It is a great role and I was honored to read it. 😀

Take care,

Greg

I checked them both just now and they are PL ok. Yes you definitely managed to make Mark sterner, especially in the beginning scene. :thumbs: Well done.

Thanks

I felt that in act 3 Mark was angry but also immensely sad at Tristan's betrayal whereas in act 4 he was more remorseful.

May I play Meriadoc?
The role of the young (or plausibly young) villain seems to fit very well lately... :wink:
