Excellent job, Jenn ! All PL ok. Thank you so much

Reuben act 3

This man is an appalling old windbag but I really enjoyed this role. What does that say about me :hmm:

I'm going to go with "opposites attract".

oooh this guy is such a sleeze in this act :evil: despicable, indeed. But you convey the role very well I must say, shows your good theatrical talent ;) And the villains are often most memorable, so it's a great role after all :lol:

only two small things to correct:

> at 2:12: (p. 142) missed line: "then observe"

> at 2:19: (p. 142) "a benevolent fairy" - the picture of Reuben as a fairy is quite comical, and I don't think the words benevolent and fury fit well together ;)

thanks

Sonia

thank you, Alan, and now Reuben is all PL ok, done and dusted off for this play. :)

I'll probably be seeing you in the next one again ;)

:lol: loved the scowling and accent you put on here, Chris. Brilliant performance, thanks so much.

I have a small note though (may be trivial...but since you called me Dolly :evil: , I figured I could annoy you a bit in return :mrgreen: )

> at 4:49 (p. 113) "I found him in the village asking for thee" – you say "town", for me a town is bigger than this village he probably lives in. (may be optional though)

Sonia
Here is Ripley corrected...
https://librivox.org/uploads/toddhw/danldruce_ripley_1_128kb.mp3

Since I don’t want to risk another script correction by annoying Kitty with the Dolly thing, I’ll just confine myself to the etymology of Librivox terminology.

Contrary to a popular misconception, PL stands for “Proof Listener”, not “Princess Leia”. Though Librivox being an audio-only medium, we’ve never been able to determine one way or the other whether Kitty does in fact do all her PL-ing in the Princess’s white robes. Or possibly, that gold bikini. :roll:

Cheers,
Chris

And certainly, everyone can tell that Leia is wearing old style noise-isolating PL headphones in the first movies, which only became less visible earbuds when modern technology caught up later in the other films.

:lol: I don't see myself as Leia at all.... and I will probably not be around anymore when the dramatic reading is PD.

:mrgreen: the hair-style definitely left something to be desired

Apart from Tomas' voice credit, Act 1 is ready to edit !

awwww there is romantic love dripping from your every word here Tomas, especially in the opening scene :9: Geoffrey sounds completely smitten with Dorothy. Very well done. Thank you

However, two sentences are missing, so you are not yet off the hook:

Act 2:
> at about 9:14: (p. 139) you forgot to record the final sentence: "Dorothy, one word. Hear what I have to say."

Act 3:
> at about 0:01: (p. 144) here you forgot the very first sentence :lol: : "Master Druce !"

thanks, now we are really close to wrapping this up, you were the final role we were waiting for. 8-)

Todd: Act 1 is ready to get finalized as we have Tomas' voice credit now in Act 2 :)
