~FULL [DRAM.READ] Count of Monte Cristo by Alex. Dumas-mas
Yes:)
Thanks for all of this, it looks great! I had wanted to double check with you if you wanted all three parts first, but your are signed up:)aaronwhite1977 wrote: ↑April 25th, 2019, 12:02 pm Hello - I have uploaded all my Abbe Faria files.
I see that FLAC was called for, so I posted here and at the help site, because I could not get my FLAC files to be 128 kbps. They said I should just export and upload. None of these files have a consistent kbps - so I'm guessing that it is something that you can't manipulate.
Chapter 16 - https://librivox.org/uploads/maryannspiegel/montecristo_abbefaria_16.flac Duration - 21:00
I ran into a snag here with Chapter 17 as well. The Abbe just has so much to say - he can't fit it - in FLAC form - into the 100 MB limit - at least - I'm assuming that is why it is erroring out. So - I split it in half. 17a and 17b. If you'd like me to export it differently, let me know - I don't know if you'll be able to fit two files for the same chapter into the MW.
Chapter 17, Part 1 - https://librivox.org/uploads/maryannspiegel/montecristo_abbefaria_17a.flac Duration - 17:29
Chapter 17, Part 2 - https://librivox.org/uploads/maryannspiegel/montecristo_abbefaria_17b.flac Duration - 16:41 Total Duration - 34:13
Chapter 18 - https://librivox.org/uploads/maryannspiegel/montecristo_abbefaria_18.flac Duration - 25:14
Chapter 19 - https://librivox.org/uploads/maryannspiegel/montecristo_abbefaria_19.flac Duration - 6:32
In the MW - Abbe Faria is listed as being in chapter 20 as well. He is, however, he is dead, and so he doesn't have a lot to say. That slot can be deleted from the MW.
Chapter 113 - https://librivox.org/uploads/maryannspiegel/montecristo_abbefaria_113.flac Duration - 0:11
I watched a few videos on the Italian accent and I thought I had it. But as I listened back, I was surprised how Russian it sounded. So, I'm going with Abbe Faria's backstory being that he had balkanish parentage, and moved to Italy and so is a pleasant combination of both in his speech.
Also - I am still more than willing to pick up the parts of Old Man and Louis XVIII (sections 13-17) - I don't know if you saw my post stating that I can easily alter my voice - and none of these are in the same chapter.
If not, no problem!
This was a super fun part to play and I'm so glad I had the opportunity.
Aaron
That's no problem:)
Guys, with this project I have to stick to a kind of first claimed deal. I've had a couple of issues with old claimers coming back and wanting the part, saying it's all recorded, when someone else has claimed it and is half way through. I have signed Aaron up for this now, but both of you let me know if I should change that.aaronwhite1977 wrote: ↑May 6th, 2019, 4:42 amNo, no! I was just trying to grab a few parts that were open. Please take it - I'll look and try to grab another small part. Seriously! You probably have a really good Louis.silverquill wrote: ↑May 5th, 2019, 8:55 pm
I'm sorry, I didn't see your claim, so that's fine.
This was an old part that I had recorded, but had corrections to do, but somehow neglected to upload, so my deadline expired. I was just checking the progress of the project and saw it still open in the MW. So, please feel free to take the part.

BTW - that part is also sections 23 and 24 - they got a bit separated it seems.
Thanks

Kristin,
Would it be too much trouble for you to PM me when there is something here to edit?

Good Afternoon,
Here is the part of Old Man for Chapters 55, 56, 63 and 64.

One quick note on the script -
Chapter 55
page 7
line – "And here is Andrea Cavalcanti's baptismal register, given by the ciurate of Saravezza” is Monte Cristo's line - though it is marked as Old Man.
Also -
As I mentioned in a previous post - silverquill is more than welcome to the part of Louis XVIII - as long as he wants it! I hereby renounce it! I'm not sure I could keep up a convincing french accent anyway.
BTW - Louis XVIII - that part is also sections 23 and 24 - they got a bit separated it seems.

But, if you really need a French accent, then I'm not the person for it. I believe that was the issue with my first read through - mispronounced French words. I haven't listened to it recently, so I don't know if it is salvageable anyway, or if I would need to do a new recording. So, I'm still in standby mode.
On the road again, so delays are possible

Hello Folks!
I find the idea of a 'dramatic reading' really interesting, and would like to take part.
However, I am unfamiliar with the text and characters, (heard of it - never read it!) so don't know who to claim!
Here is a story I read for Lynnet's latest Short Story collection.
https://librivox.org/uploads/lynnet/ss080_in_the_avu_observatory_je_128kb.mp3
If you think that my voice would be suitable for any of the characters, please let me know, and
I'll give it a go!
I'm currently recording (yet another!) version of 'The War of the Worlds' by H. G. Wells, as a solo -
but I have nothing but time! (And a breaks as good as a rest - I have been somewhat confusingly
informed!)

I have absolutely nothing in this world but time - so I believe I should invest it wisely...
