Act 2 is now assembled and ready for PL!

wonderful Act 2 totally PL ok as well. I love the central scene with Stukeley and Beverley. It's like satan prying on a poor lost lamb.
Everybody in here plays their respective roles so credibly. Well done, Team !
Sonia
...almost finished.
Here's Lewson Act 3:

awww, Lewson was so sensitive and sad in this scene. Well done, TJ. You really give him a great character. I sincerely hope that your voice will not be damaged by your pressing it so deep. It sounds great though ! (maybe a sore throat has helped along )benderca wrote: ↑January 24th, 2018, 6:12 pm ...almost finished.

TJ, can I just say that, for the next 48 hours at least, all the guys in the DR troupe will be addressing you as, "Yes, Boss".

strangely enough, her character in the play is not really "bossy", but I agree, she would have made a blast as one of the "bad guys" too. We need to keep that in mind for another play.SonOfTheExiles wrote: ↑January 25th, 2018, 2:06 am TJ, can I just say that, for the next 48 hours at least, all the guys in the DR troupe will be addressing you as, "Yes, Boss".

lol! ha! Wait till I start making threats in the next act: "By heaven, he dies that interrupts us.

Everybody keeps talking about Lewson's temper (Mrs. Beverly, Charlotte, and Lewson himself) -- I hope I've been able to do that temper justice... It's hard for a refined lady... such as myself... to show emotions without the voice going higher....
...but yes, I would love to play a villain. I could be a gangster with this voice.
Thanks, Sonia! Actually when I recorded those scenes before the holidays, I found I could go lower and lower as my vocal chords got warmed up. But yesterday when I was trying to make corrections (Who puts a "the" in this sentence: "I dread the losing you."?), I found that I could not get down that deep. I had to sing my way down. So I my recording has me singing scales G-F-D-C I dread the losing you. The recordings are hilarious!Kitty wrote: ↑January 25th, 2018, 12:18 am awww, Lewson was so sensitive and sad in this scene.

I had some lines in that last act that I believe every new Librivox user should be required to do without popping their "p's" and "b's": "I have pressed for the performance of this promise; but private cares, a brother's..." and "This sweet profusion of kind words pains while it pleases..."
oh I would love to hear that once...
indeed ! it would make a break in the Peter Piper routine LOLI had some lines in that last act that I believe every new Librivox user should be required to do without popping their "p's" and "b's": "I have pressed for the performance of this promise; but private cares, a brother's..." and "This sweet profusion of kind words pains while it pleases..."
And as for you playing the gangster...it's noted. I'll let you know as soon as I detect a suitable role somewhere

In the meantime, you could always practice the line: "I don't know how youse done it, BUT I KNOW YOUSE DONE IT!"

Now you're on the trolley, Chris! You really know your onions. You slay me! Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go see a man about a dog.SonOfTheExiles wrote: ↑January 25th, 2018, 12:32 pmIn the meantime, you could always practice the line: "I don't know how youse done it, BUT I KNOW YOUSE DONE IT!"

Before going to bed, I polished up Act 3 so that it's now ready for PL.
P.S. Sonia: There's one stage direction that is conspicuously missing, and you'll know which one when you come across it. I think Rob forgot to record it (or accidentally deleted it when editing). Fortunately, its absence does not matter; Linda's line conveys enough of its meaning, and I left a bit of a pause to make it more obvious she's listening for voices.
