Hi Elijah!
There are lots of open parts in this project. It would be great if you could take one (or more!)
A dramatic reading is different from a regular reading of a book because instead of claiming a chapter and reading the whole chapter, you claim a character and record only the lines assigned to that character.
To see what lines to read, read from the scripts. Here's one. If you wanted to read, say, the Little Boy, you would read only the lines in light blue, each separated by a few seconds of silence. Does that make sense?
Thank you!

That makes sense, and it sounds like fun!!!

Are there any parts I can read a little bit more?

Have a look here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B96UkH57T3AGREtXVFd5RWxsOHc&authuser=0
The first document "Cast" has a list of all the characters, with what chapters they appear in

Dab-Dab has arrived! Beth, it would be great if you could PL them, but you don't have to since they'll be listened to in the final edited files

If you want me to, I could PL those.

Here's Ben Ali, the Barbary Dragon - I had a minute and a half and I felt like a bit of being silly. This is my "male voice" processing, as I felt it suited the character.

Thanks Rachel, these are all PL OK except for Chapter 18, which has a slight stutter in the first phrase. It would be smoother if you redid just that first sentence - all the rest were lovely!

And could I please take the little brother

Thank you

SweetPea · Post by **SweetPea** » February 24th, 2015, 10:40 am

Thank you, but since Jip and the little boy appear in two of the same chapters, I'm going to ask you to take only one of them. Which one would you like?

ej400 · Post by **ej400** » February 24th, 2015, 10:42 am
