Thank you.

Let me update again the "Where do we stand at this point?" list.

OPEN:
5 - Roadhouse; one part unclaimed, one part not submitted, three parts ready for PL

FULL:
2 - Jealousy; two parts not submitted yet
4 - Lady; one part ready for PL, one part has PL notes
8 - Trysting; three parts ready for PL
10 - News; one part not submitted yet, one part ready for PL

READY TO EDIT: 9 - Circle

READY FOR FINAL PL: 1 - Shrew

DONE: 3 - Fix; 6 - Glen; 7 - Rehearsal

It would be really good to get the PL's (or Spot PL's) done quickly. You never know if readers will be around to make fixes and if you delay you might have a big problem.

Thanks, Todd

Welcome. Thank you for already taking the one minute test first. It is not really an audition but an equipment check. Don't want to record something long before you make sure that your equipment is set up properly to give us files we can use!

I have a short summary for the important special rules in drama; here goes:

1) you don't have to read an intro or outro disclaimer, this will be done by the narrator. Instead, record your voice credit at the beginning of the file using the words in the MW, which should be something like: "Matilda O'Fipp, the Colonel's Daughter, read by XXXX" (whatever you use for your reader name)

2) then browse through the text and record all the lines you have to speak. Also include any "All" lines while your character is on stage. For a big role it may be good to read the entire play to get into character, but at least it would be good to read a bit around your lines, see what the others are saying, so you can better "react" to them. Just be as expressive (according to the character) as you can in your role.

3) if there are pointers in the text qualifying your voice, like [laughs] or [whines], an added bonus would be that you act those out in your reading, if possible, to make it all more interesting.

4) You prepare and upload a separate file for each Act that your character is in. (Note - the section numbers change as I move stuff around on the MW, so remember character name, not section numbers.) Your file will be proof-listened, and you may receive some notes on corrections and their time locations in your file. These will be posted in the forum and show in the Magic Window marked as "See PL Notes" - please cut corrections into your file to update it and upload a new file (SAME NAME) in a reasonable time - like before your voice and equipment setup change and everything sounds different!

5) and most importantly: please leave enough space between each of your speeches, preferably 4-5 seconds or more. Even when you have the stage directions in the middle of your speech (for example: [kisses her hand]), also leave 4-5 seconds of pause there, because our editor (me) later on has to copy all your parts and paste them into his (my) master file and it's helpful if he (me) has enough space to fiddle with

That's it, I think. Just have fun acting out. And post any questions here.

Thanks, Todd

Thank you.

QUESTION FOR ALL BCs: Why do I keep all the part files in the MW and not just delete them?

1. In case final PL finds something missing that might be in the original reader file

2. So you can see the reader names as you make and post the cast list for each play

Thanks, Todd
