Hi Aligator,
I marked your file PL_OK, there was a bit of a background noise, maybe enxt tiem you can watch out for that. If you use AUdacity there are ways to reduce the background when necessary.
Very best

Dear Blueriveriris,
I love the reading ! however one little problem : at several points, I heard your breath hitting the mic. You might want to consider for the future placing the mic just below your mouth, so you are talking over it and not directly into it. That's often all that is needed to get rid of these breath sounds.
At the moment I set these files to PL_Notes, so if you have a chance to rerecord, that would be great.
All the very best

Here's first attempt at Martha scenes 4 and 5. I'll finish 1 just as soon as I have the tune to the song!

Hi Spokenmartin,

Thanks for the feedback. I'll make sure to try to eliminate the background noise next time. :D

Alright thanks! I noticed that when I was recording and I nearly had the mic on my chin, but I'll be glad to try and fix those spots! :D

Hi there,
Every role in the preface has been claimed already, (narrator, herald) except for some of the choir members. This being a dramatic reading, that's how it works.
Thanks for the interest,

For sure...how does this work, now is it two months? (This is the first time I've had to give an extension to someone :P ) You have until March 11.

Okay--first batch:
Choir Member 2 Prologue, Scene 3, and Scene 5
https://librivox.org/uploads/maryannspiegel/mysteryplay_choir2_prologue.mp3 (2:36)
https://librivox.org/uploads/maryannspiegel/mysteryplay_choir2_scene3.mp3 (3:29)
https://librivox.org/uploads/maryannspiegel/mysteryplay_choir2_scene5.mp3 (3:28)

Working on the rest--life will be calmer here after next weekend, so I should be able to get the rest done with the extension. Thanks!

Also, are you still looking for references for the chorus hymn at the top of Scene 2 and the chorus hymn at the top of Scene 4 (the one that isn't Coventry Carol)? I can look for references if that would be helpful.

So I've found the following--hope it's helpful!

For Scene 2: Come Let Us All Sweet Carols Sing:
Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eGYc_57JveA
Sheet Music: https://hymnary.org/hymn/CCNO1878/49

For Scene 4: Like Silver Lamps in a Distant Shrine:
Sheet music and a MIDI audio file that is at least something: https://hymnary.org/text/like_silver_lamps_in_a_distant_shrine
Youtube (I think #1 is a clearer recording): 1) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HxT_pAmq3Jo; 2) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lrV2LVn_cfg
