I had fun breaking out the New Yorker accent I worked on in "Miss Buzby's Boarders".
Nice! Love your New Yorker accent, David!

Reporter is PL OK!

Thanks!

It was fun to record some minor characters for this project. I think this is the first time I'm participating in a recording of a work I had previously read.
Conductor is PL OK as well!

Thanks, David!

Here are the uploads for Man 2 (is there a Man 1?....), Elevator Boy, Waiter, and Dr. Civet, save for Chapter 7. I went through the script for Chapter 7 three times and could not find lines for Man 2 anywhere. Please advise?

Thanks, Diana!

There was a Man 1, but I renamed him (I think he became "Drunk Driver" or "Owl Eyes"). The line in Chapter 7 is almost more trouble than it's worth, and you don't need to do it if you don't want to. I just gathered people together to do the crowd scene at the wedding below the hotel room in which Gatsby and co. are hanging out. It's on page 22:

WOMAN 1, WOMAN 2, WOMAN 3 MAN 2, DRUNK DRIVER, CONDUCTOR, WITNESS: ‘Yea—ea—ea!’ [several times]

Also, I'm also gathering ad-lib background chit-chat and laughter for the two big Gatsby parties. If you'd like to contribute, you can just submit as an extra file.

Thanks, TJ

Hi there. here it is my first recording for Gatsby. It's a sort of trial under many angles. First of all if I have singled out right Woman nb2 and all her speech in chapter 3...
please let me know.
The uploading is at:

https://librivox.org/uploads/mightyfelix/greatgatsby_woman2_03_128kb.mp3

and should last 15-16 sec.

thanks and looking to hearing from you.
Eleonora

Hi TJ have you seen this and the one after of mine last week?
I have not seen any feedback from you. Have also some another doubt: In chapter 8 I can not find any Woman2/Nurse or Motorist. Might you mean "gardner" instead?
Please advice
Eleonora

here I am with chapter 6. Again hoping to have caught the right woman.

44 sec.
probably the previous one, chapter 3, was about 25-26 - probably my bad before.

Thanks, Eleonora!

I'll take a listen to your files. The (short) line I had for you in Chapter 8 was "The Motorist" on Page 17. I wish I had more lines for you, but there are lots of projects coming up. :D

MOTORIST: he stared oddly from the side of the road.

Thanks,
TJ

Thank you, Eleonora!

Just a little tip for future dramatic readings -- you don't need to say chapter number, or book title, or author, or "this Librivox recording is in the public domain, because the narrator will say all that. I will just cut out your parts and paste them into my chapter file. I do need the voice credit ("Woman 2 read by Eleonora Bettenzoli"), but only in the first file you submit to each project. Also please leave 2-3 seconds space in between every line.

You missed a few lines for Woman 2, Chapter 3:

[GIRL 1, LUCILLE, OWL EYES, MAN 2, DRUNK DRIVER, WOMAN 1, WOMAN 2, WOMAN 3: BACKGROUND LAUGHTER] (page 2)

WOMAN 2: she is Gilda Gray’s understudy from the ‘Follies.’ (page 2)

[JORDAN, GIRL 1, LUCILLE, OWL EYES, MAN 2, DRUNK DRIVER, WOMAN 1, WOMAN 2, WOMAN 3, VOICE 1: LAUGH] (page 13)

Missing Part of the Line:
WOMAN 2: ‘Never heard anything so selfish in my life.’ (page 15)

Missing Line:
GIRL 1, LUCILLE, OWL EYES, MAN 2, WOMAN 1, WOMAN 2, WOMAN 3, VOICE 1: ‘Ah-h-h!’ (p. 18)


Thanks,
TJ

Unfortunately you read the part of "Woman 3" and we already have that part recorded by someone else. The lines I need for Chapter 6 are on Page 13:


WOMAN 2: ‘She’s much obliged, I’m sure,’

‘WOMAN 2: But you got her dress all wet when you stuck her head in the pool.’

Thanks,
TJ

Where have you been all my life, Diana? lol! I love your voice and your acting. You definitely need to grab some larger parts in my future projects.

Man 2 Chapter 1, Elevator Boy Chapter 2, Waiter Chapter 4, and Dr. Civet Chapter 6 are all PL OK!

You missed a couple of laughs and group lines in Chapter 3:

On page 2:
[GIRL 1, LUCILLE, OWL EYES, MAN 2, DRUNK DRIVER, WOMAN 1, WOMAN 2, WOMAN 3: BACKGROUND LAUGHTER]

On page 13:
[JORDAN, GIRL 1, LUCILLE, OWL EYES, MAN 2, DRUNK DRIVER, WOMAN 1, WOMAN 2, WOMAN 3: LAUGH]

On page 18:
GIRL 1, LUCILLE, OWL EYES, MAN 2, WOMAN 1, WOMAN 2, WOMAN 3: ‘Ah-h-h!’

You could submit these as a separate file if it would be easier.

Also, I'm also gathering ad-lib background chit-chat and laughter for the two big Gatsby parties. If you'd like to contribute, you could just add it to this file.

Thanks so much!
TJ
