Kurt ! I'm so glad you're better. I was already wondering where you ended up. Scenarios of gila-monster attacks in a canyon were on my mind.

I'm glad it was "only" bronchitis.

Will PL soon !

ooooohhh he is SO despicable

and you play him SO well.

I can imagine both your scenes, one with Tomas and one with me, and they will be great when assembled. I simply knew your voice would be perfect for that character.

Nothing missing, no textual errors, but I would like to make one suggestion, if I may (*puts on director's cap*):

> at 6:30 (p. 23): "And I love Mr Richmore" - this sentence would sound more appropiate if you intonated differently. Mandrake told Richmore "SHE (Clelia) loved Mr Richmore etc..." and to this he quips: "And I (strong emphasis on I) love Mr Richmore, and that is the reason I forgot MINE." It's one of those sentences that show how much of a bastard that Richmore is.

Looking forward to the other acts

Thanks for the constructive feedback, I really appreciate it. I *think* this version fits the context better, let me know if it still needs work:

nope, this is excellent, good job ! Act 1 PL ok now.

Here's the other 3 acts for PL:

great job again. I loved your lechering after Aurelia

The eagerness in your voice when you say "Tonight !" is barely top-able. Oh and I had to look up rhodomontadoes, a word I was not familiar with yet. You got it out without twisting your tongue

In the end he seems to mend his ways...I wonder how credible that would be in real life

Anyway, Acts 2 and 5 are PL ok.

Only one tiny textual error in Act 4:

> at 3:00: (p. 90 bottom) "the injurious blow has set on fire my pride" - you say "my fire"

Great job, Kurt. Thanks for taking this on.

I'm going to need a tad bit more time for Aurelia. I finished recording Acts 2-4 and almost finished editing Act 2. But after hearing Kurt's fantastically despicable portrayal of Richmore, methinks I was not bitter/biting enough when I was talking about and to him in Acts 2 & 3. I may have to rerecord a line or two...

But I shouldn't keep you waiting too much longer...

Thanks, as always, for your patience.

well since we aren't even fully claimed yet, I think we can wait a bit more time for you to hone and sharpen your disgust for Richmore even a little more.

Looking forward to your performance. This is a different thing from Lewson

I wonder what Lewson would have done with Richmore.

Good catch! I think I fixed it, let me know if there's still an issue.

this reminds me of the movie Despicable Me

Issue perfectly fixed and all of Richmore is PL ok now.

Such a great addition.

Thank you (and see you in another play soon

)

Ha! Aurelia is pretty tough, but clearly not tough enough to save herself from the likes of Richmore (I can just picture how Lewson would say his name, dripping with disgust: "Rich-more, how I loath thee"). Aurelia should have taken some sword fighting lessons from Lewson...

Thanks for your patience.

Hello, Sonia!

How are you doing? Working hard on your listening in your last holiday week, as far as I know.

Here am I with my second recording in the drama section! Hopefully, I will pass the test.

Can wait for your PL.
Starting the reading of our next project in Portuguese in three, two, one
