Hi Trish,
I'll start the PL on the stage directions, Act 1, as soon as I can. For Act 3, I began listening and have these notes: Volume is at 91.9 dB--although that's a bit high, I think Chris can work with that. When I run the file through Checker, it indicates that it's in stereo, not mono, so that will have to be fixed, please.

In Act 3 at 2:27, please omit "Roxane"; at 3:15 omit "Cyrano"; at 3:41 omit "Roxane"; at 3:54 omit "Cyrano" and so on. You get the idea! I didn't continue with this act, as I know you will be checking/editing it. Your pacing (silences between lines) is very good this time.

Thank you,
Lora

Hi Jenn,
PL OKay for Roxane, Act 2. It sounds great!

Hello Trish,
Well done--you did a great job with the stage directions for Act 1! I've marked it PL Okay with the following two notes: at 42:05 please add "Cyrano" before "(Finishes his macaroon.)" and the volume is still too low at 85 dB. I'm not sure what more I can advise about that except to amplify the file.

Thanks,
Lora

Lora and Trish,
I can fix both of these issues in the editing, so we can keep it as PL OK without any more work on Trish's part. (I'll borrow a "Cyrano" from somewhere else in the act and reuse it, and I can amplify the file to the correct level.) Thank you to both of you for your hard work on getting these stage directions right.

Here is the 1st Comedienne in Act 1. If I need to re-do it, just let me know! Newbie, here!

That sounds great, Mike--the stage directions turned out really well!

Hi Zanna,
PL Okay for 1st Comedienne, Act 1. The volume is too low--but perhaps Mike has already addressed that.

Thanks,
Lora

Actually my message to Zanna was in response to a question about pronunciation she had asked me. I hadn't run her file through Checker yet. I think Zanna might have been planning to revise the file anyway. Zanna, can you amplify by at least 2.5 dB?

Mike

Will do!
Thanks!

Hope this one is better!
