"Tattle, a half-witted beau, vain of his amours, yet valuing himself for secrecy", if you please, Todd. Time to get my upper-class horndog voice going.

I can't seem to spot that "Act 4 sc 14 song chanted by Tattle" bit, though.

Cheers,
Chris

wow Tommy, what a wonderful performance

I really love the character you gave Valentine, especially in the madness act. But already the first scene was excellently frivolous, I can picture Hugh Laurie playing this guy. Some of the more flippant sentences you actually kinda spoke like he would

excellent job.

Acts 3 and 5 are straight PL ok, but I have a few notes for the other three acts:

PL notes for Act 1:

> for the voice credit, please always use the full description that is written in the Magic Window, in this case: " Valentine, fallen under his father’s displeasure by his expensive way of living, in love with Angelica, read by..." You can then cut out "Act 1 and Prologue" because that will be read by the narrator of the play

> at 0:06: you said the title for the prologue but then the actual prologue text is missing

could you include that please in Act 1 as well ? Starting with "The husbandman in vain renews his toil" and ending at " Before your late encouragement of wit."

> at 0:08: "act 1 scene 1" can also be cut, again, the narrator is reading this part

> at 14:55: "end of act 1" can equally be cut out

> oh and careful with filenames, capital letters (Valentine) should not be used. Not so important in drama roles, but in other projects it is

PL notes for Act 2:

> at 0:27: repeat: " Why, sir, that you would not go to the extremity of the conditions, but release me at least from some part." – can you cut out one version, please. I would say the first, because there is a small textual error ("what" instead of "that")

PL notes for Act 4:

> at about 13:15: missed line "No more, for I am melancholy."

Thank you !

I had to laugh a lot here, each time Tattle tries to keep a secret and later on reveals way too much before trying to "bite off his tongue". What an ingénu, in a way. Endearing, one cannot really be mad at him.

Oh and you had quite a steamy love scene there

although it got cut short by the nurse.

Excellent job so far, Chris. Looking forward to the rest. Thanks !

Acts 1 and 2 are already PL ok.

I have a question for Todd for Act 3, so wait until we hear back from the boss.

> at about 7:49: should this song not also be done by Tattle ? It seems to me that Scandal is asking it directly of him.

A nymph and a swain to Apollo once prayed,
The swain had been jilted, the nymph been betrayed:
Their intent was to try if his oracle knew
E’er a nymph that was chaste, or a swain that was true.

Apollo was mute, and had like t’have been posed,
But sagely at length he this secret disclosed:
He alone won’t betray in whom none will confide,
And the nymph may be chaste that has never been tried.

Yes, Tattle should chant the Act 3 Sc 3 song. Fixed MW.

Thanks, Todd
