I finished Winnifred’s parts. I cannot check the dB with Checker at the moment, but to me it sounded loud enough. I can check them at home later on and let you know, if you wish.

Acts 1.1., 4.1. and 5.2. are all PL ok

Found two tiny mistakes in Act 3.2.

Now on to the Dog’s recordings…

Hi folks - I am out of town for most of August, so would it be possible to have these two mistakes fixed in editing? Since they do not need to be re-recorded, only cut, they would be easy to fix by the editor. Let me know if that would be okay, since I don't know when I'll be able to fix them myself.

I'll just cut them in, no worries about anything further. :)

all ok with Checker. I heard some background noise throughout, like a soft wind blowing, but if I put my earplugs less loud, I don't hear it anymore, depends on how loud you play it. But maybe it can be cleaned easily still ? Or am I listening too closely and this is perfectly normal ?

Katherine Acts 1.2. and 5.2., and Spirit Act 3.1. are all PL ok. I find, you doing another voice with the spirit is quite suitable here.

One small part missing in Act 4.2.

> at 2:34: "Dead, sir!" missing before "O, father, we are cozened"

Sonia
I've fixed and uploaded 4.2 again:)
I didn't hear any background noise except when I cranked the speakers way up, but maybe I'm just not hearing it?

Hi Kristin

checked the part in 4.2. and all is PL ok now. :) MW can be updated.

Then maybe my earplugs were just too sensitive. I'm sure it's fine in the end.

Btw Frank's parts are also PL Ok, the MW hasn't been updated with that info yet.

And now I'm off into the holidays for two weeks and probably won't be doing any stuff here. See you all back in September. I'm probably gonna have some backlog to listen too by then.

Almost forgot about this project, but I remembered! Here is Sir Arthur Clarington

In Act Five there is a line assigned to "All" ("Away with her, away!") Did you want me to add that?

Also, would you like me to read any of the smaller parts, such as one of the Clowns?

If you could change up your voice somewhat, I'll sign you up for the Fourth Clown / Sawgut.

Unreadpages, I signed you up for OT and the other guy!

This is a very fine play, especially as it was written by a consortium!
Could I claim Sect 8: Old Thorney/Hamluc?

Hi Tortilla

I have already checked Katherine’s part in Act 5 and the Spirit in Act 3 and both are PL ok. Maybe you didn’t see my note a few posts earlier. Could you change the status in the MW there as well please ?

Right now, I finished checking Sir Arthur Clarington’s lines. I enjoyed listening to his voice and it’s well acted out too.

I found a few minor discrepancies, but in my opinion they can all stay the way they were read.

- Act 1

> at 0:30: Original: “to have built a stews in” / here: “to build a stews in” – probably negligible, since it doesn’t really change the meaning

> at 2:57: Original: “at other’s cost” / here: “at other cost” – negligible as well

> at 3:07: Original: [kisses her] / as a suggestion, maybe you could insert a smacking kissing sound here

- Act 3

> at 0:23: Original: “you may have yet a morris” / here: “you may yet have a morris” – negligible, actually your version sounds better than the original line

- Act 4

> run through checker, 92.2 dB - warning, that it’s slightly outside the desired range

- Act 5

Act 5 PL ok

Hi, is there a reason my part is still marked as "assigned" in the mw? As far as I can see, I have recorded everything and it has been PL'ed OK.

I've updated everything- was a little behind on that! You should be good now. Kitty, are you unable to access the MW? Usually the DPLs mark it themselves.

I checked and indeed Kitty didn't have access to the MW. So this must have been an oversight on my part! Sorry about that. Kitty is now signed up as the DPL and has MW access!

No indeed, I don't even know how to update the MW, otherwise I would have done it. Sorry. :?

I see there are some new submissions, I try to find time this afternoon to check on them. Can somebody tell me step-by-step how to update the MW after that ?
