Hi Trish (hope I spelled that correctly),
I understand that the Dramatis Personae doesn't need the minor characters added so we're good with the reading. Unfortunately, when I ran the file through Checker I still get the low volume reading of 85.4 dB. Thanks for taking a look at it and amplifying it.

Hi Lora
The spelling is right, thanks. I resent that file with amplification, does it need more?

Lora,
This is a fresh recording done in a new setup. Would you please let me know how it sounds?
Thanks for your patience.

So, as Dolly would say, here we go again... I ran these through Checker and the volume seems fine but Checker seems to think it's in stereo. I converted to mono and when I listened to them in headphones they sounded mono to me. please let me know if you hear something different.
Again, thank you for your patience with my learning curve.

Hi Trish,
I am setting the file volume issue aside for the moment and want to address the reading of the Stage Directions for Acts 1 and 2. I will send you a PM with my PL notes and let you review them.

Thanks,
Lora

Hi Alan,
I've marked De Guiche as PL Okay for Acts 4 and 5. Please check in Act 5 at 1:58; I believe the line "Adieu" should be inserted after (...shake his hand..."

Thanks,
Lora

Bethany--Sorry! At :56 please add this line after you say "Then Cyrano is not here." The missing line (double-check me) is: "Humph!--So much the better!"

Thanks--I changed the status back to See PL Notes.
