Not to add to your already considerable workload, buuuut... here are the two revised narration files with a third new one.

aren't you a bit dramatic ?

Thanks Tomas! Another excellent performance. You sound so wonderfully devious.

now I'm really looking forward to that. After all, my Cathrina is supposed to be blackmailed and abused by his deviousness. I guess that's payback for Alicia's treatment of Crassus

I see you all gave me a lot to do...hopefully I find the time for it all tomorrow. Off to bed soon (it's half past 2 here)

Sorry Sonia. I'm really not trying to overload you with more work.

sorry, just checked acts 1 & 2 but they are unchanged. Are you sure you re-uploaded the correct files ?

great narration again, you are making the listener stay in the action

a few corrections here:

> at 0:05: you omitted "by Joanna Baillie"

> at 2:43-2:51: (p. 49): "stealing closer to her as he speaks" and "Orra breaking from him" are repeated and can be cut out here

> at 2:52: "stealing closer to her as he speaks" - I am wondering if it wouldn't be a good idea to put this comment at the beginning of Rudigere's speech, so the listeners can visualize what he is doing while he speaks, and not only afterwards.

If you agree, you would have to record "Rudigere, stealing closer..."

> also checker warns me the volume is only 84 dB, but I think you will adjust the volume anyway, later on in assembling

no problem

I love to see this project moving forward now after a longer hiatus

Act 4 is PL ok. (Apart from the volume being again about 84 dB - I'll make a note in the MW)
Great suspense yet again, when Theobald shows up as the huntsman.

wonderful performance, Tomas ! In a movie I can SO picture Rudigere being played by Richard Armitage.

He is a villain, yes, but also a brooding figure, driven to evil by his love for Orra. (in a sick sort of way, of course, since he is a villain). Your voice is excellently chosen for this part.

Oh and I loved the breast-beating ! Nice touch.

Acts 1 & 2 PL ok.

Looking forward to the next acts...

Chuck, by coincidence I stumbled upon a line by an "attendant" in the 5th act

I checked further, and he has quite a few lines to say and you forgot to list him in the MW. There is one role more that needs to be filled.

Attendant Act 5: he appears on pages 79, 82, 88, 98, if I have caught them all. I haven't checked the whole play yet, so hopefully he will not be in other acts as well.

CRAAAAAAAP.

I can't believe I missed that.

I must have omitted him from my notes during my first reading of this play.

Thanks for the heads-up, Sonia. I've updated the MW.

Not sure what happened with Acts I and II, but I wound up having to fix them again. :-/

Let me know if these pass muster:

oh sorry about that. Well, all three acts are now PL ok. 2 & 3 are under 86 dB, but you can regulate that in the end.
