Here are the corrections for Lady Bracknell:

https://librivox.org/uploads/toddhw/earnest_ladybracknell_01_128kb.mp3

I was having some kind of mental block on "Worthing" while I was recording and kept having to do re-takes because I had said "Worthington" instead. Not shocked that one slipped through...

I obviously needed to have a few cucumber sandwiches to steady my nerves before I began recording....

[9:48]

Stage Directions Act 2:
missing "of" at the beginning "Act 2 of ..."
fixed

4:48 missing " [Algernon rises, Cecily also.] ", would go between "Algernon. [Nervously.]" and "Algernon. [Moving to her]"
added at 4:48

5:23 probably would sound clearer with the name added "Gwendolen. [After examining Cecily carefully through a lorgnette.]"
Added Gwendolen at 5:27

5:29 missing "[Rising and going to her.]", would go between "Gwendolen. [Severely.]" and "Gwendolen. [Sitting down again.]"
added at 5:34

[realisticspeakers]

Stage Directions Act 3:
1:17, a extra line to delete to make it easier for the editor "Cecily to Algernon"
deleted

1:25, also an extra "Enter Merriman" to be deleted.
deleted

1:40 missing "[Turns to Jack.]" would go between "Exit Merriman.]" and "Algernon. [Stammering.]"
1:36 Added "Lady Bracknell Turns To Jack

5:36 missing "Jack. [Irritably.]", would go between "Gwendolen. [To Jack.]" and "Lady Bracknell. [Meditatively.]"
5:33 Added

Not sure if at the very end it should be "End of the importance of being earnest by Oscar Wilde"
Added full enumeration with subtitle and author.

Stage Directions, Acts 1-3: Spot-Checked OK!

Lady Bracknell, Act 1: Spot-Checked OK!

Jack, Acts 1-3: Proof-Listened OK!

Algernon, Act 1: Proof-Listened OK!

Gwendolen, Act 1:
Missing line "Oh! I hope I am not that. It would leave no room for developments, and I intend to develop in many directions." would go around 0:12, between "I am always smart! Am I not, Mr. Worthing?" and "Thanks, mamma, I’m quite comfortable where I am."

I was having some kind of mental block on "Worthing" while I was recording and kept having to do re-takes because I had said "Worthington" instead. Not shocked that one slipped through...

just realised that Jack is written as Worthington in the Magic Window, too

Well, I'd say I'm losing my mind... but that would imply that I ever had one...!

[EliseDee]

I'd like to say that I'm happy to be among people losing their minds. I mean, losing you mind over Wilde would seem to actually be a badge of honor, wouldn't it?

Ok. Done with Act II:

Rapunzelina -- sorry about missing that line in Act I! Will record and re-upload the file by tomorrow. I'm having entirely too much fun reading this part.

Thanks!
Elise

Thanks for getting this in so quickly!

Can't wait to start putting Act II together! I love the reading you guys are giving Gwendolyn and Cecily -- so sweet, but soooo catty!

[EliseDee]
