No worries at all, we're on Aussie time here, so it's all good. :mrgreen:

Cheers,
Chris
So I was going to start recording today, but I decided instead to go on a walkabout to get myself in the Aussie frame of mind... but after 5 minutes' walk, I passed my first pub and I realized I'm supposed to be playing an Irishman, so I popped into the pub for a few lillys... and after 7 hours, I stumbled out -- my sleech is a wee bit spurred, but fow I neel cabaple of doing the part justice...
So my walkabout took a weeee bit longer than I had expected, but I came back a man (an Irishman, hopefully :lol: ). Now, Chris, don't expect -- just because I took so long to record these wee lines -- that you're getting an award-winning performance here. I just dun wat i could. (I did get an Irishwoman to read the lines for me, so hopefully it helped... and I drank some Guinness... pretty sure that did the trick).

Here you go, anyway:

Thank you, Michele, signing you up.

Just so you know, "Sally" is a bloke. Is that an issue? I'm sure you could give us your best Outback bloke impersonation. :thumbs:

Here is the pronunciation of Macquarie: https://librivox.org/uploads/mightyfelix/Macquarie_pronunciation.mp3

Happy to give it my best shot (I did think it was a lady ha ha ) but happy to relinquish if you would prefer a male voice. Let me know what you decide happy either way.

That's a great characterisation, Michele! :clap:

Only one possible thing that might need a correction, though I think we can let it slide if you'd rather.
At 1:07, the line is : " There’s more sympathy wasted over dead and rotten skunks than there is justice done to straight, honest-livin’ chaps"; you have read it as " There’s no sympathy wasted...".

But again, a great characterisation! You're welcome in the bar at Stiffner's Outback Shanty anytime! :mrgreen:

Chris

Thank you for your kind comments. I have edited and uploaded the file. Tried to match up my manly voice but not sure if it works. Happy to re record it all if you feel that would be better it wouldn't be a problem.

May I read #36, the Coach Driver. (Looks clear enough for me to read the script.)
