Hi Mitch,
There are two PL notes I have for Harry, Act 1--the volume comes in a bit high at 91.8 dB and I'm not sure there is enough silence between your lines so that Chris can do his editing. I will let him comment on both.

Thanks for your recording!

Hi, Lora, Mitch.

We really do need to have 3-4 seconds of silence in between lines (that includes any breaks where a Stage Direction intervenes, even if only to say something brief, such as "winks", "aghast", etc.). This enables the Editor to visibly see in the Audacity waveform where the line ends.

Mitch, the easiest way for you to put the pauses in would be to do a copy of 3-4 seconds of silence in Audacity and just go through repeatedly pasting it over the relevant places.

Many thanks,
Chris

Hi Chris,
I've found that I really like this play :D so if it's okay with you, I will be DPL and then can update the MW as I go.

Thanks,

Chris, I assume you will accept an offer of a DPL and have set that up.

Lora, You should have MW access shortly.

Thanks, Todd
