Hey, Sacapsie, can you watch all our pronunciations of the names? Paradine Fouldes and Mereston are noted on the main post, so hopefully folks will catch those on their own.

(The exception is Carlisle, which I didn't note, and I'm going to say it's OK for us to go with either the American or English pronunciation for that one.)
PL notes:

6:39: the silence after "Rose [Lifting up her lips]" is a little short of 3 sec.

10:40 and thereabouts: there is no silence in "[As he goes out, Captain Montgomerie enters. Lady Frederick. [Yawning and stretching her arms." but then in the next stage instruction, "[He hands her his case and lights her cigarette. [SILENCE] Lady Frederick. [With a sigh.]" --- not sure whether both should lack silences? No character lines to insert in either case.

[ETA: but nothing missing and no mistakes!]

That's OK, completely understand. I will head on over to the Hansom Cab as I've just been practicing my french accent although i'm not so sure about the 'nice! !. :D
Oh, cool! I'll take you up on that - the 'nice' referred to anything better than the truly pathetic results when *I* try to effect one. :lol:

Oh, gosh, sorry, Jim! Aligator did the Footman role in a different project I'm BC'ing. :lol: :oops:
Yes, we discussed that at the Footmen's Social Club. :lol:

Oh, thank you! This is exactly the close-watched level of PL'ing I love for these part files. :)

I took the extra silence out of the second set of lines, where there is no intervening character, and lengthened the post-Rose silence.

But you also reminded me that I'd wanted to re-record that "He looks, and starts violently" line that was too melodramatic originally. If you can spot that for me, it should be right about 9:37

All good now!

Sorry but I just realized you didn't add a "Narrated by" credit. Is it supposed to go in this file?

My fault here - I forgot to tell you that I've included my voice credit on the Dramatis Personae track when I prepped that. Thanks for your eagle eye. :)

I will be out of touch this Wednesday through to the next (27 Oct - 3 Nov). I should be able to get to the forum, but not MW or cataloging things.

Thanks, Todd

This one needs a French accent. Are you good at that? :)

French was my minor in undergrad. I'm not as proficient at speaking French as I once was, but I believe I have the accent down. :wink:

Most excellent! So glad to have your ability on board. :)

I really hate to think of native French speakers having to listen to my truly pathetic attempts to pronounce the language! :lol:
