Freemantle act 1 revised

https://librivox.org/uploads/toddhw/fanny_drfreemantle_1.mp3

PL ok! Thanks Alan!

[mightyfelix]

Here are three of the four sections of Martin Bennett. I ran into some technical issues with the third act that may require me to re-record a portion, something I do not have the time to do today.

Act One:

https://librivox.org/uploads/toddhw/fanny_martinbennett_1_128kb.mp3

Act Two:

https://librivox.org/uploads/toddhw/fanny_martinbennett_2_128kb.mp3

Act Four:

I will try to fix Act Three over the weekend and post soon.

Take care,

Greg

Thank you, Greg! Wow, Mr. Bennet is so stiff it's a wonder he ever manages to sit down! You conveyed him perfectly, and I love that you relaxed his tone a little for his final lines in Act 4.

Each of these needs some small corrections. For act 3, it's not crucial, but would be helpful, definitely!

Act 1:
4:36 Added word. Text reads (p. 27), "...you will be able to tell whether..." I hear, "...you will not be able to tell whether..."

Act 2:
0:42 Missing line, p. 30: "The Times?"
1:15 Missing line, p. 37: "A-- sort of person has called..."
2:13 Two missing lines, p. 50: "Sit down" and "Carry your mind back...." (They were all hiding in some stage directions.)

Act 3:
3:37 More space here for stage directions after "We Bennets." (p. 60)

Act 4:
0:12 More space here for stage directions after "Miss Edith." (p. 82)
0:50 Missing line, p. 83: "Breakfast will be ready..."

Thanks, Andrew

Thank you, Andrew, it's easy to see why Fanny fell for you! I enjoyed listening, and I hope to hear lots more from you in the future! There are a few corrections I'll ask for from you, mostly minor but significant changes.

Act 1:
2:19 Word change. Text reads (p. 21), "why we walked from the station, and slipped in by the side door." I hear, "why we walked through the station, and slipped through the side door." (The second change doesn't matter much, but the first one makes quite a difference, so you may just want to correct them both.)
3:40 Word change. Text reads (p. 23), "Bennet will send your maid to you." I hear, "Bennet will send the maid to you." (This one might be a bit nitpicky, I don't know. But since they do have several maids, it might be confusing to leave it as the maid.)

Act 2 PL ok!

Act 3:
0:10 Two takes of "Hello, got a cup of tea there?" Please cut one of these.
2:09 At the end of this "Forever and ever and ever," it sounds like it's abruptly cut off at the end, which is a little off-putting. It seems that you might be making your cuts very close to the sound, and sometimes too close. Or perhaps it's some kind of processing, a noise gate or something? I hear something similar a couple of times with some of your laughs, but those are a bit easier to clean up, I think.
3:17 Added word. Text reads(p. 57), "She bolted before we got back." I hear, "She bolted long before we got back." I'm not sure how crucial this is, but that extra word seems to change the timeline somehow.

Act 4:
2:07 Again a phrase sounds barely cut off at the end: "...to do me the honour to be my wife."

All PL ok now, great job! Don't worry, camouflaged lines trip all of us up from time to time. Even DPLs.

Thank you, Jenn! You make quite a convincing sweet old lady! Now, which one are you again?

Act 1:
0:14 Two missing lines, p. 8: "You--you don't think..." and "may possibly be a little too..."
1:37 Two missing lines, p. 9: "Oh, Bennet!" and "You will remind Charles..."
2:35 Missing word (underlined). The sense is still the same, but it sounds just a bit "off" to me without that one word. P. 11: "Yes, she must be very clever to have obtained the position that she has."
6:22 This one I leave up to your discretion. The word "bath" here (p. 16) is used as a verb and should probably be pronounced "bathe." It makes more sense that way, anyway. I don't know why it's not written that way, though. Is this an older spelling? Or was it pronounced differently then? I really don't know. In any case, you read what is printed... It's just that what is printed doesn't make sense to me. So, again, I leave this to your discretion.

Act 2, 3 and 4 PL ok!
