Oh, my, I don't know what happened in Act 2.

Anyway, all four acts have been corrected, and above are NEW time stamps for Act 2.

nicely done, Tomas. I took a liking to Denham, and luckily you didn't make him overly pompous. He is much more endearing the way you portray him.

Acts 2-4 PL ok.

One missed line in Act 1:

> at the very end: (p. 37) "We shall meet tonight, I hope"

thanks

Have at it. I had considered starting over (this has been done for a couple weeks). Feel like my idea of who this person is wasn't terribly consistent. The accent got a little weird, especially between drunk and not. If needed I will get any alterations (including starting over) in a short time - but I figured it was better to get this submitted.

Thank you. Maybe the character is purposefully confused...

no need to redo this, Dale !! I immensely liked the performance, especially the drunk scene your hiccups sound quite genuine An absolutely intriguing character you gave him and this will sound great once assembled. Thank you for this !

Acts 1 and 2 are straight PL ok, though Act 2 is a bit over our accepted volume limits with 93 dB. No need to reupload, this will get adjusted anyway in the editing phase. I'll make a note for Todd. Only careful with the volume, it could distort the sound if there is too much clipping going on. Here you were lucky though, it sounds ok.

A couple PL notes for the other two acts though:

Act 3:
> at about 2:16: (p. 133) please insert: "Ah !"
> the volume is 94 dB, you could reduce it by about -4 dB maybe, but this will get adjusted anyway

Act 4:
> at about 0:35: (p. 188) please insert: "No, no, no !"
> also this volume is over our limits with 92.4 and could also get reduced by -2 dB maybe

Note for Todd: at page 46: I think it is Beryl who is putting her arms around Howard's neck and saying "Australia!" It makes more sense, since Mrs Bompas then says "You stifle him Beryl". I think I read this line, but maybe we should make a note for Beryl to include it instead.

Thanks

I had computer trouble all month, which delayed me from recording. Today my computer is back to speed, so I hurried up to get all the acts in. I hope no lines are missing, but in the rush, I might have missed some...

[ToddHW]

Thank you.

wonderful, Linda, I'm so happy you could do the part despite the computer problems. Honoria is exactly like I pictured her quite feisty and not too soft-spoken. The fighting scene with drunk hubby ending in kissing was simply delicious.

Acts 1 and 4 are already PL ok.

You did miss a few lines in the other acts though, sorry about that:

Act 2:
> at about 0:01: (p. 62) "Good morning. Will you taste my pralines ?"
> at about 0:52: please insert 3 missed quotes:
(p. 64) "I do, mother – the dance of the sylphs"
(p. 74) "I'm glad you've come."
(p. 74) "We'll have a fine time of it if you'll not bother me with your instruction. Have a praline ?"

Act 3:
> at about 0:15: (p. 120) "What's the matter ?"

thank you !!!
