Okay Sonia, Act 5 is over to you for final PL. I think you will love how your acting as the Marchioness came out - really brings tears to the eyes! Wonderful.

Enjoy.

Thanks, Todd

ok I just finished...woah, I know what you mean, this ending was quite powerful (although at one point I feared we would BOTH overdo the melodramatic tearful side a bit :mrgreen: )

And I simply ADORE the scene where Emmanuel desperately tries to get Paul to duel him LOL Tomas' inner rage is really palpable there and you so calm in return. :thumbs:

Excellently acted, all 5 of us (and excellent narration, let's not forget that).

Act 5 PL ok.

Can I take Mr. De Nozay?

I can't actually check the lines he has to say, as search for 'Nozay' isn't working for me in the archive.org document. I'll have to look through all of Act 3 and find all lines. But unless there's something most unexpected I imagine I'll be fine.

hi, thanks for helping out. Yes, I'm sorry, the archive texts aren't the best for the search function :( but at least the Act is not that long. And you can always skim till you see "enter Nozay" (p. 49), because before that, he will not appear

thanks ! this is PER-FECT :clap: don't ever again say that your voice sounds dull. You really created a good character here, he sounds like an upper-class snob all right.

All the lines are in, everything perfectly read and acted out. No complaints there. PL ok.

I only need to tell you one very important thing for dramatic readings. You absolutely have to leave out at least 2 seconds of silence between each of your chunks of speech. The reason is simple: our editor later on has to cut out every bit from every file and paste it into a coherent whole, and if he has to twiddle in such small spaces without any pause in between, this makes his job very very hard.

I think we can let it pass this time, Todd will manage for once. (Todd, is that all right with you ? or should he re-upload ?) But for your next recordings, please think about the poor editor and leave enough space :)

It would take me about five minutes to fix this. I keep the original .wav file around before converting to MP3. So, I can edit with no quality loss. EDIT: Done! It's 45 seconds long now https://librivox.org/uploads/toddhw/pauljones_nozay_3.mp3

I can imagine characters much better than I can do. For this one, I really wish I could have done him as Kenneth Williams.
