[COMPLETE] [DramReading] The Story Girl by L. M. Montgomery - tg

[benderca]

Hi,
I can claim Aunt Janet, although when I looked through the book (on the link), it was a bit hard to find Aunt Janet's lines. I just made a cursory look, though.
Diane

I can be available to do Aunt Janet in the next one, too.

Excellent, Diane! Thanks! Yes, she only has a few lines or half lines per chapter, but they're important lines. (Sometimes they're paraphrases, so check out the color-coded chapter scripts -- currently found in sections 6-37). She has a little more to say in the sequel, but not too terribly much. Much more is said about her than she actually says herself.

Here is a bit of a dump for audio recordings:

I'm not sure if chapters nine and eleven are the newly re-recorded versions, but let me know if not!

Hi Diego,

Unfortunately, you didn't upload the newly re-recorded version of Chapter 9. Could you please do that?

Chapter 11 is the new version and is PL OK!
Thanks!

(Note: Dan, Felix, & Story Girl have been edited in to the chapter 11 file. Group line 3:17 also edited. Only need Aunt Janet, then ready for PL).

Hi TJ,

Very good. I can probably get these to you this week. I don’t mean to be daft, but how do I find the color- coded script?

Diane

lol! No worries, I had the same problem finding the scripts in my first dramatic reading. Scroll down in the Magic Window on Page 1 to the Chapter Sections (currently in Sections 6-37, but they could move). Then in the third column (the "Notes" column), please click the link that says "Chapter 1". That will send you to the script for Chapter 1 on my Google Drive. You can read it online or download it from there. "Chapter 6" is currently in Section 11, and so forth.

[benderca]

Dan, Chapters 14, 15, 19, 20, 22, 23, 24, 28, 30, & 31 are all PL OK!

I have one note for Chapter 18:
0:04
"I wonder if they'll bring us anything," said Dan. (I hear "any" instead of "anything").


I have one addition in Chapter 25:
0:06
Dan promptly declared he wouldn't try to preach a sermon.
(Could you please record "wouldn't try to preach a sermon"? It would sound better in Dan's voice -- I've updated the script, p. 4).


I also have a few notes for Chapter 26:
0:09
Could you please pronounce the word "quarrel" like this:
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/quarrel (the first pronunciation)
"I won't stand it. I don't quarrel with my sister any oftener than she quarrels with me. You can just leave me alone."

0:22
"Bev didn't get up there and pitch into us like that," (I hear "here" instead of "there")

And could you also please add a laugh at the very end of your recording?


Chapter 27
0:24
Could you please add "a tell-tale and a baby,"
Dan called her a tell-tale and a baby, (p. 6 in the script)


Chapter 29:
0:08 Could i please get you to cry a little? (On page 3 where it says: We all, even Dan, cried, except the Story Girl.)


Great acting, Diego!

Thanks!
TJ

Got it!

Hi TJ,
I've gone through the script and have a couple of questions, though I think I probably know the answers.

1. There are 3 chapters (11, 24, 32) which refers to Aunt Janet and phrases are highlighted, but not in quotes. Should I read them as if they are quotes?
Here they are:
Ch 11: Aunt Janet was very desirous that everything should be as nice as possible, and we
were all sent to our rooms before tea to wash and dress up.

Ch 24: We wanted to stay with her also, but Aunt Janet wouldn't hear of such a thing. She ordered us
off to bed, saying that it was positively sinful in us to be so worked up over a cat.

Ch 32: When ten o'clock struck Aunt Janet came into the kitchen, remarking innocently that it hadn't seemed anytime since nine.


2. Laughter is noted in Chapters 19, 23, & 25, so shall I record laughing?

I'm supposing the answer is yes to both of these questions, but I just wanted to double check with you.

Yes & Yes! I want to make the dramatic reading as lively aa possible, so any time I can get the characters to speak for themselves, I do it. I can’t change the text, so I just cut out snippets. I picture it as a documentary film where we flash back from my narration and see a little of the scene as it played out at the time. I also like to add laughing and crying and other emotional sound effects to enhance the drama.

Thanks,
TJ

Great reading, Diane!

Aunt Janet, Chapters 6, 11, 12, 18-20, 23-25, 27 are all PL OK!

One note about intonation in Chapter 32. At 2:12: "any one" should be read together as "anyone":
"I notice that you are as fond as any one of what is baked in them," (It's a little confusing when the words are read separately).

Thanks! You're a great contribution to our cast.

Hi TJ,
Thanks for the kudos. I can go back and correct Chapter 32, if you'd like. It wouldn't take much.

If you don't mind, that would be easiest. I could probably cut out the space, but the intonation wouldn't be right. You could just redo that part of the sentence, if you like.

Thanks again,
TJ
