[COMPLETE] Aladdin, or, The Wonderful Lamp-mtf

My roles are recorded and uploaded. I don't know that a PL is necessary, as I can make any changes needed when I edit the acts together. But if anyone wants to PL them, it couldn't hurt. Any takers? Todd? Alan?

I have a question: I am reading The Spirits of the Trees in Act 2, as well as the chorus of spirits the line before that. Do I record those lines in the same recording, or do I record each part separately?

All in the same recording, please! The fewer files I have to juggle, the better!

Hi mightyfelix. Here is my reading of the chorus of spirits, the trees, and the voice soft and far away.

Hi Devorah
I will check the Female Bird as I need to try to match it.

Beauty is PL OK

Thanks, Devorah! Here are Acts 3 and 4:

I think I'm coming up on this project being due for me, but I should have some time to finish her part in the next few days.

Of course, thank you! I was wondering how long it would be before he was claimed. He's really a fascinating character. Have fun!

Thank you, Kristine! A short appearance, but definitely needed to set the scene of the amazing magical cave! I have a few notes for you to address.

Volume a bit low. (85 dB) I'll adjust volume anyway when I edit, but this may be something for you to watch.
Missing voice credit: "Voice of the Trees, read by _______" There is no need to preface each line with which voice it belongs to. It's cleaner to have just the lines. Never fear. I'll know which is which! You don't need to delete those bits if you don't feel like it, but just tuck that knowledge away for next time.

0:04 Slight word change. The meaning is the same, but it throws off the meter and rhyme. This is more of a problem than it normally would be, too, since this line will be merged in unison with other voices. Text reads (p. 34): "Hark to the thunder / The levin has broke / And rifted asunder / The rock with its stroke." I hear: "Hark to the thunder / The levin is broken / And rifted asunder / The rock with its stroke."
0:30 Missing word. Text reads (p. 34): "And thou wilt go..." I hear: "And wilt go..."

Hi mightyfelix,

I have been going over my lines that I have to record for act 7. I’m hoping to get it done in the next three days. I was wondering if there was any specific way you wanted me to pronounce “Nuschirwan”? I want the pronunciation to be as accurate as possible and to hopefully avoid having to re-record. (For reference it’s on page 186 in the text "Multitude” says it when Aladdin is being pardoned).

I'm not too picky on pronunciation of names, so long as it's reasonable given the spelling. So far, I think only one other person has had to pronounce this name, and he used something like new-SHEER-wahn. Whatever feels comfortable for you will be fine, though.

Devorah-

For Gulnare's song in Act 6 do you want me to chant it or create a little tune to sing?
