Drat. I thought I was pronouncing it your way! I guess I should have listened a few more times to your voice credit. Maybe I need to do more memory exercises.Kitty wrote:Aubrey Act 2, perfectly PL ok. Ahhh his constant "Paula, dear" sounds sooo patronizing. The marriage is rapidly going downhill.
I decided to change my recording of the name Cortelyon after all. I didn't mind that Beth was saying it differently, because indeed, some people say names differently. But I think as Aubrey knows her so well, they would pronounce it the same way. And especially when he calls her Cortelyon and she immediately repeats her name shocked, it sounds silly if I pronounce it differently in this dialogue.
I'll hand in a new file this evening. I think I only mentioned the name once, so no big corrections required.

Jessie, usually all of Todd's plays are gender neutral, so there is no problem with claiming any role. And in this case, Morse isn't even specified to be male or female as far as I can see. Could be a butler, or lady-in-waitingjpercival wrote:Is Morse ok to be read by a woman? If so I'd like to claim that role.
Welcome Ms, Miss, or Mr Morse. As Sonia says, I always run gender neutral in the plays for all parts.Kitty wrote:Jessie, usually all of Todd's plays are gender neutral, so there is no problem with claiming any role.

edit: Todd seems to be off the radar for the moment, so I'll just go ahead and put you in the MW myself

PL OK! Thanks.Kitty wrote:Todd, I reuploaded Act 2 for Cortelyon. Could you check these 3 places please, these are the only sentences I re-spoke with my name conforming to your pronunciation.

Recording time: 6:19 min.
As far as I can see, these were the only sentences where I speak my own name. I'll put the file back to Spot PL. Sorry for giving you extra work now.
