section 7: 7:10

This is a bit of a picky request, but since this is a Dramatic Reading project I'm going to mention it, as I think it is important for understanding.

@2:07 in this file there is a phrase which sounds weird the way you have broken it up. It needs to run together in the middle: "and if he has gone without any one to write it down for him so the world may be the better for it, it would be a terrible thing."

The way you have it, it sounds like the world may be the better for it if he is gone!

Rather than, if he has gone without his wisdom being recorded for posterity, that would be a terrible thing.

I think give that this is a book for children, clarity is important, and if I had to check the text then a listener without the text in front of them is probably going to struggle.

The rest of this recording was PL OK - I particularly liked the scolding you gave Cheapside!

Your expression and characterisation is in general spot on!

Dr Dolittle S12, S15 and S19 are all PL OK!

(I just did the three short ones, I'll do the rest later this week.)

Oh dear! There is a line that was mis-coloured in Section 16. It belongs to the crowd, but unfortunately all the crowd voices have already been recorded.

Here it is: “He comes!—He comes!” murmured the crowd. “Away! Away!—To the Whispering Rocks!”

It belongs to MrsHand, SusanFerman and Bill Mosely, but their files are all marked PL OK. If any of them would like to record that extra line that would be great, otherwise anyone else on the thread could probably just record it in a separate file and we can add in a couple of new sections in the MW for "Crowd Voice 1 and 2"...

Dr Dolittle all the other sections are PL OK except for Section 13:

@4:09 there is a line missing “It was an oddly shaped mountain—looked like a hawk’s head."

So once S7 and S13 are corrected, Dr Dolittle will be all done!

Thanks for all your hard work, everyone! Life is keeping me busy, so it's nice to know this project is still moving along without me to shepherd it.

We do have two orphaned roles, Mr. Stubbins and the Defense Lawyer. Any takers?

Whoops!

Thanks for that catch. Wish I'd noticed earlier. I'll see if these three are still around and want to submit the extra line. If not, we can put out an open call.

easy-peasy - sunday this weekend is my 'dolittle-day' - look for those fixes then

One more fix for the Doctor, please. I've started editing for section 3, and there is one place where the Doctor says, "Where do you mean?" The line I have from you is "What do you mean?" I thought this had been corrected already, but it must have gotten missed. If you like, you can simply submit this one line in its own little file. You can call it "s3_missingline" or something of that nature. Here is the passage:

“Are those deer over there?” I asked.
“Deer!” said the Doctor. “Where do you mean?”
“Over there,” I said, pointing—“nibbling the grass border of the bed. There are two of them.”

No, this has definitely been corrected. Is the correct file linked in the MW?

Oh, I suppose not, since I downloaded it from the MW a couple of hours ago. I'll search through the thread and see if I can find it.

This version definitely has it correctly:
