ok it works for me as well now, so I change the link backFoon wrote: ↑September 11th, 2018, 4:08 am Oh! This is odd... I just looked up the Archive link to give you the exact error message Archive gave me; and now it's working again for me!

So it might have just been an error on their part? Doesn't look like copyright issues at least.
Yes, that was an upload error I guess--my file was 20 minutes.Kitty wrote: ↑September 12th, 2018, 1:11 am Foon, I now listened to your Narrator for Biscuit and Bills. BTW archive took the original down yet again so I used your pdf instead.
All very well narrated, but there are a few pages missing:
PL notes:
> at 0:20: for the voice credits, would you not want to include the description as well, so listeners immediately know who is who in the play ?
like this: Jack Maynard, the husband, read by / Mrs Maynard, the wife, read by / Mr Brainard, the father, read by
also, if the Hall Boy does not have a speaking role, you could cut him out from the voice credits
and, by convention, we usually put the stage directions after the characters
> after 14:50: the rest of the stage directions is missing, starting from p. 12 at the very bottom “Plunges left hand in dough” up to the end p. 16 the audio seems to cut off abruptly, so I'm guessing you recorded the lines but the mp3 didn't get uploaded completely

ah, good. Yes that is the main reason why we always want to include the length in our posts, then we would have noticed immediately.
voice credits now perfectI've made the changes in the stage directions and reuploaded:

Ha ha ha! I agree! Jasmin and Alan could not have more contrasting voices. It sounds really funny!Kitty wrote: ↑September 13th, 2018, 12:24 amwonderfully funny, everybody has played their role to perfection.The Countess is ready for final PL.
One of my favourite small scenes is the dialogue between Criquet and Jeannot, after he got the money from the Countess. I think what makes it so especially interesting is that our Criquet is so much younger than our Jeannot and just picturing Jasmin and Alan bickering together on stage is wonderful.
But everybody was perfect and it's perfectly assembled as well, Todd.
