COMPLETE[PLAY]A Little Bit of Fluff by Walter W. Ellis - thw

I enjoyed hearing your take on Tully, Campbell!

He's delightfully awkward, isn't he? Good job on act 1. There were only a couple of missed lines, just at the very end:

TULLY (rushes across stage in front of table and arm-chair, with MAMIE’S sunshade raised in a threatening manner). John! John!

JOHN (kneeling to TULLY—pleadingly). Bertram! Bertram!!

TULLY (TULLY’S face relaxes and develops into a broad smile). Oh, John! John!! (Giggles.)

Then there we just a couple of (very minor and optional) things I noticed.

At 0:34 the line is "We-we never count John as anyone." You missed the stutter and just said "We never count John as anyone." This is really so minor that I almost didn't mention it, and if there hadn't been any missed lines, I wouldn't have. It's up to you, I think, whether or not to revisit this line. I just love how adorably awkward Tully is!

I also heard a strange crackle/click a few times. Examples are at about 8:45, 10:30, 10:35. I'm not sure what would cause this. It's very minor, and not bad enough that you need to re-record anything. But you may want to watch for it in the future.

Overall, extremely well done. I look forward to hearing the rest.

Fixed it! I did revisit that line and add the stumble, adds character

. As for the click, I've been having a giant issue with it. It's either a computer problem or a mic problem. I just got a new mic which seemed to help very much. I went back and redid all of the major clicking (believe me it gets a lot worse

) but I'll keep an eye on it. Maybe I'll try recording into my phone next time...

Thank you for the readings. And for the PL'ing.

Act 1 is PL ok now, Campbell. Don't worry about the clicks too terribly much. The ones I heard were very minor. I just wanted to be sure you knew they were there.

I'll listen to the rest as soon as I grab some lunch!

I really feel for poor Tully in act 2. He just want to win one hand at cards!

The things he'll do for a friend. There are only two things to address in this act:

1:49 Missed line "Their idea is of course to tire you out."
6:49 "I have a presentiment of impending disaster." I hear impeding, which is a little bit different and has a different meaning.

Everything else was wonderful!

And act 3 is already PL ok! Great job! Just those two edits to act 2, and you're done!

(Also, I didn't hear a single click in either of these two acts, so whatever you've done seems to be working well!

)

Thanks! I recorded into my phone, so I guess it was a laptop problem

. Well it works, just slightly more inconvenient since I have to edit on my laptop

Here is the first act of John Ayers. Quite long, but (I hope) quite fun!
