I finally took the time to finish Imoinda. Literally, in all her dying glory.

Fabulous, thank you Sandra!

MW is updated with your files.

If they're all PL OK, that's one more role down... and 3½ to go! I'll be sending PM reminders soon to the outstanding claimants, since we're slowly reaching the finish line here, and I hope we can release this one before the end of the month.

Wait! My beloved Imoinda dies?? Oh how will I bear it? Guess I better record my part and find out!

You're especially in luck, since now you can listen to Imoinda's files and emotionally pitch your performance around them!

excellent drama, Sandra

I knew you could pull this one

I love the pathos in the final scene, verging between despair and resolution.

And Tomas, you absolutely need to include the final dying "ugh" of Imoinda. Sounded very life-like (or death-like, rather).

All 4 acts PL ok

that's another big character in the box

So, it would seem my guy is a pompous ass?

LOL the way you portray him he is indeed. Somehow I feel there are not many really likeable characters in this story

But it's excellent acting out you did here. I would say, continue like this. Although I guess he needs to have some likeable traits for Charlotte to fall for him...even though, she is probably just happy to be hooked up with anyone

Here is the first Act.

Thanks for getting to this so soon, Jason!

I've assembled a draft of Act 1, which is in need of two roles before it can be ready for PL. Now to rest.

ah this was a shorty. I love it that Aboan constantly has such an inner rage inside him, about to break out at every moment. Well characterized.

I just found one tiny error:

> at 0:11: "that coward there had not discovered us" - you say "would", which makes the sentences grammatically weird
