Corbaccio act 5

https://librivox.org/uploads/gloriana/volpone_corbaccio_5.mp3

There was less to this part than I expected. When I have seen this play on stage Corbaccio seemed quite an important character, but he does not have much to say.

Thank you, Alan!

PL Notes for Act 3, to start with:

Very nicely done, and the volume is much better now.

You skipped the line at 2:08 - "How does my Volpone?"

Ok, now for PL notes Act 4:

4.1: Sounds good. There's just one part where you read the wrong word and I think it changes the meaning. ~1:44 the text says “to persever” and you read “to preserver.”

4.2 is PL OK.

Sounds great! Only one thing: You did not read the "All" line at the end (" Honour'd fathers--")

EDIT: Almost forgot: The volume is just a little low. Coming in around 85. Could you amplify by about 4?

Thanks so much for all your excellent PLing, Mary! No need to provide notes on volume, though - I can take care of this during editing (and prefer it that way, in fact).

Can I try myself at Peregrine?

I do, actually: in 5.2 they're talking about an "ingine"

"SIR P: Sir, I have an ingine—

(...)

PER: And call you this an ingine?"

How is that pronounced? (I can read IPA, if you want to transcribe it.)

Here's the OED entry on "ingine" -

It's like saying, "I've got a great idea!" But Peregrine is skeptical.

It can be pronounced like "engine."

Okay, thank you! I'll check the entry on campus tomorrow.

Corbaccio plus All

https://librivox.org/uploads/gloriana/volpone_corbaccio_5.mp3

Having done this part I would like to help finish this by offering to read Castrone, but I would need to agree what to do about the song in scene 1 done by Nano and Castrone. Is it to be spoken or sung? Do I wait for Kristin to post her version (she did claim first) or post my version and see if it is acceptable?

Corbaccio is PL OK.

Thanks!

Thanks, Alan - but as I've combined Castrone with the Fourth Avocatore, and the latter appears in the same scenes as Corbaccio (often speaking quite close together), I think it might be confusing to have the same reader in the roles. I appreciate the offer, though!
