thank you, Vic, and congrats to your first PL ok section and your debut in LV drama. :) And it was a great role you picked here and I think you acted the lawyer really well in character. :thumbs: He's more of the no-nonsense type, so this was very fitting here. A bit of a voice of reason amidst all the mayhem and madness all around :lol:

I can mark Act 2 already PL ok. Careful with the volume though, it's over our accepted limits (86 to 92 dB). But since there are no other errors, I'll m ake a note for Todd to change the volume while he edits the part in.

one missed line for Act 3 however, a sort of list reminding one of Monty Python's Sir Robin :lol:

> at about 1:06: (p. 60) please insert: "Oh, Sir Thomas ! I am abused, beaten, hurt, maimed, disfigured, disfaced, dismembered, killed, massacred and murdered, by this rogue, robber, rascal, villain. I shan't be able to appear at Westminster Hall the whole term; it will be as good a three hundred pounds out of my pocket as was ever taken."

> also here: the volume is slightly over 92 dB. Decreasing it with -2 would get you closer to the good average of 89.

As an aside, I thought "indict", "indictment" would rhyme on "light" (so no voicing of the letter 'c'), but this may well be a regional variant, so this can well pass, as I think it would be understood anyway what the lawyer means.

Great job ! Simply reupload with the exact same filename and the old file gets replaced by the new one.

Thank you

Thanks Sonia, you are absolutely correct that "indict" rhymes with "light" so I went back to the occasions Brief says the word in act 2 and replaced the line. I also reduced the audio, so it's now within limits

I also added the missed line and decreased the volume, as well as correcting the pronunciation of indict for act 3

Thanks for the feedback!

well I didn't know whether maybe it was a local variant, one never knows with all the English dialects abounding :mrgreen:

So I relistened to both from scratch since I didn't write up the time stamps for "indict". Act 2 is now PL ok.

You missed one in Act 3 however:

> at 2:02: (p. 61) "so that if a man be indicted"

thanks !

I have a nice summary of drama stuff in the middle of Page 8 of this project that might be helpful.
