Alas, so few lines as to not induce night terrors, and only slightly over-the-top. Here is Sir Farcical Comick:

Hi Todd,

I assume the no-doubling rule is in effect. If not, I can take care of the Constable.

First posting explains that having different act 3 characters is allowed in this play if you do not talk to yourself.

I'll put you in for Constable then?

Thanks, Todd

Great, yes please! Sorry I missed that :oops:

I do talk to myself, but that is another matter :lol: Exits singing “ I talk to the trees, that’s why they put me away “

:lol: :thumbs: I love the high voice you're doing here, it sounds like Farcical is constantly excited. A great portrayal indeed, thank you, Jim. Now looking forward to how you will act out your Constable.

I have a small deviation to the text:

> at 0:27: (p. 49) "I have made foreigners break English" – you say "speak", but the joke is lost in that case, also he later says "break Latin" so those two are mirroring each other

The rest is perfect, he should have had a bigger role.

Hi. I recently submitted a 1 minute test for feedback. But if you're still looking for someone to voice the manager in act III then I'm more than willing to read that out.

:shock: :lol: the constable sounds like Graham Chapman from Monty Python, now I see him before my inner eye. Won-der-ful !

And there's more to come, because you missed a part ;)

> at 1:16: (p. 63) "when some skin you have lost" – you say "from" (this is a case of the annoyingly long-s)
> at 1:43: (p. 67) part of speech missing: "I hope your Majesty will pardon a poor ignorant constable"

Sir Farcical is PL ok. :thumbs:

thanks for the brilliant characters. This puppet show must have been a hoot in the days. :mrgreen:

we are thrilled to get new voices !!!! I'm especially looking forward to an Irish voice :9:

I'll sign you up for the manager, but indeed, best wait for the test to be ok'ed...I had a quick look and already saw that the bitrate is variable instead of 128kbps constant. Maybe you could tweak that already and reupload.
I replied to your thread here: viewtopic.php?f=21&t=88236

Welcome to the crazy gang of thespians. Also known as Todd's Mob. :lol:

May I read the Messenger? So far as I can see he doesn't interact with Don Tragedio, my other non-Epilogue role in Act 3.
Back from a low-internet no-Librivox year in Georgia. Glad to be with you again.

actually...checking closer, Tragedio and the Messenger are on the same page at one point (p. 59-61) Maybe too close for Todd to accept ? Let's wait for his confirmation.

Waiting makes sense. Either way's good.

Yes, it looks like Tragedio and Messenger are too intertwined for me. Sorry.

Thanks, Todd
