Thanks, Aaron. This is great. I have marked all as PL OK. However, I would be much obliged if you re-uploaded Act 2 with a second take of your first line: "Young Scudmore." I assumed that this was an old form of the modern name, Scudamore, and so should be pronounced 'Scood-more'. I put pronunciation instructions elsewhere, but failed to do so with your line. Because other characters immediately say the name after Pendant does, I think it's best to be consistent so it doesn't sound like they are correcting you.

Of course. The first time I read the play all the way through I downloaded for the site to my kindle app, so I didn’t see your notes. Then I went through my lines on your oh so handy guide, but I missed seeing the pronunciation tip. I’ll get it re recorded tomorrow.

OK, Foon, these are great. I was worried that asking for slurring would mean the words would be difficult to make out, but this is a really good balance.

One thing, since you request pronunciation notes. In act 3, in the line "'Tis pestilence sack and cruel claret", I would expect 'claret' to be 'klarut' https://www.google.com/search?q=claret Would you mind re-reading that?

Hello Rob,

Am I supposed to read the dramatis personnae?
If so,
Do I say "Scudmore. Read by: "?

Thanks,

excellent job, Rob. You play him quite soft-spoken which I think gives even a better effect to his plot than if he was more exuberant. I like the interpretation of his character. Perfectly played out. :thumbs:

Acts 1, 3 and 4 are already PL ok.

For 2 and 5 I found a few OMNES lines, where I think Nevill may take part too. Unless there was a reason why you excluded him :hmm:

for Act 2:

> at 3:38: 'Tis young Scudmore! – I think Nevill as the priest should not be included in this ALL line. He is probably not supposed to know Scudmore and anyway, he already knows that he is there, so wouldn’t be surprised to see him

> at about 33:46: there are however two more ALL lines, where we could probably include your voice
- OMNES. How!
- OMNES. But hear ye.

for Act 5:

> at about 1:00: OMNES. O, there he is.

> at about 2:55:
- OMNES. How?
- OMNES. How?
- OMNES. Young Strange!

I let you decide whether you want to include them.

Thanks, Sonia. For the Omnes lines, I just selected a few people to read them because any more than three voices and it can become difficult to understand what’s being said. If I end up with not enough versions of a line, I’ll add more in the end.

Yes please, Bhavya. The dramatis personae will be a separate file. Normally, each person reads their own character name, but it is useful to have the narrator read them too in case we need them. There is no need to say “read by” though: just the names.
