Goldie act 2 revised

I have left batter as it is deemed ok.
I am puzzled about at half mast as I can hear both words
IRL I would never say darned but I use the alternative all the time

Just to stick my nose in here, I also heard both words.
Edit: I listened to it again and I think I might have figured it out. With all due respect, Adrian, the English sometimes don't put the "t" at the end of certain words in certain situations. And I think that in the phrase "at half" would be a good possibility for that. It is just kind of sort of a 'guteral' stop with out making the "t" clear. So when he is doing a "rural" (how ever you pronounce it ) accent, that came through. Just a thought.

Far be it for me to criticize anyone's dialect... sorry Alan! Mea culpa, I just thought a word had been left out. I heard (and still hear) no "t" at the end of "at" and no "h" at the beginning of "half" -- sort of "aa-(guteral stop)-aaf" -- but Wayne's explanation clarified it for me. And I'll definitely take your word for it, Alan, if you say it's all there, then I believe you!alanmapstone wrote: ↑March 21st, 2021, 2:32 am Goldie act 2 revised

Please, nobody throw tomatoes at me... I'm just a rur-ral girl from Indiana...

I agree with Wayne about the English tendency to swallow the t and I also think that Goldie would drop the h from half.
It's probably due to my trying to do an American accent but combining it with my original natural English west-country dialect.

And I thought all I had to worry about was the presence or absence of R's to distinguish British from American English....
Thanks, Todd

I see I'm getting close to the deadline, I may need an extra week or two for my role if that's okay with you. Thanks!
Cheers, Ava.

Old R.F.D. is recorded. But needs a nap before editing and upload.

Old R.F.D. awaits P.L. in the M.W. He is a very patient old man....
Thanks, Todd
Thanks, Todd
lol! Well, I keep choosing bossy, busy-body, self-important know-it-alls... I can't help wondering what that says about my personality.
Mrs. T.R. Jeffs awaits PL for Act 1 and she is not the least bit patient. If she doesn't get promptly PLed, she will call the Congressman, the Postmaster General, the President!

I am currently completing the play The Busy Body. They do cause much trouble and confusion....
Thanks, Todd
Thanks, Todd
Definitely! Even Mrs. Jeffs turns out to be all right in the end. And sweet little Goldie goes back to the farm. All's well that ends well...alanmapstone wrote: ↑April 2nd, 2021, 3:37 am Goldie act 3
