OPEN [DR] A Passage to India by E. M. Forster - rap

[benderca]

Anything I could do to help? Except reading that is. I am not sure about the copyright in my country.
I have been reading books about partition and british raj since last year. Mostly by Indian authors. So I am interested in this book about british raj by a foreigner (not Indian).

I do need someone to prooflisten to the the narrator's parts as well as the finished chapters, if that interests you. I do have to warn you, however, it's kind of a slow process (just a little bit at a time) but you're welcome to try it out and if it doesn't suit you, you can always duck out.

Would like to have section 11, Mahmoud Ali. (The magic window doesn't show the text feom which to read). Can I do it?

Mahmoud Ali is in Chapters 2, 4, 24, 25, 29. So please scroll down in the Magic Window to the chapter sections at the bottom - Chapter 2 is currently in Line 51 and Chapter 4 in Line 53, etc. In the chapter section you can see a link to the color-coded scripts on my Google drive. "Chapter 2 Script" for example will lead you to: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1wVzqQ_-znm6FsxEdt9niPUMkJl-U34CT/view . Welcome aboard!

Thank you!

Great! There's nothing for you to do right now, but I'll try to submit some parts for you to proof listen next week. Thanks!

Anjali, I read in your introduction that you have also done audio editing. I usually like to edit all my projects myself, but if I get behind, would you be interested in helping?

Mr. Turton's parts:

https://librivox.org/uploads/rapunzelina/passagetoindia_mrturton_03.mp3

Fantastic portrayal of Mr. Turton! I just have one tiny note for Chapter 3:
1:03 (p. 6)
“Do you really want to meet the Aryan Brother, Miss Quested?" (I'm not sure if it's the recording or the editing, but I can't hear the word "you").

Thanks!

Um, the word "you" is there in both my original and the uploaded file. I'm not sure how I could say it differently to bring out the word without destroying the emphases in the sentence.

OK - must have been my headphones playing tricks on me. I've switched headphones. I've marked Mr. Turton Chapter 3 as PL OK.
Sorry for your trouble.
Thanks! TJ

Old Mr. Graysford is PL OK! I like what you did with his accent -- Is he Irish?
Thanks, Kerry!

Mahmoud Ali also has a 2 lines on page 9 in Chapter 5. I've updated the magic window. Sorry I missed that:

Thanks!

Mr. Turton Chapter 4 is also PL OK!

Just one small line missing for Mr. Turton at the beginning of Chapter 5 (p. 3):

MR. TURTON: “To work, Mary, to work,”

Thanks!

One tiny note for Fielding Chapter 7:

1:26 (p. 6)

FIELDING: “Not Mrs. Moore and Miss Quested?”
(I hear Mrs. instead of Miss - you do get it right in the next line, though... ).

Thanks, Anna Kate

Mrs. Turton Chapter 5:
0:39 (p. 3)
I'm not sure how crucial this is, but the meaning is changed slightly:
MRS. TURTON: “What do you want me to do? Oh, those purdah women! I never thought any would come. Oh dear!”
(You say "they" instead of "any").

1:15
Talk to Mrs. McBryde. (I hear "Miss" instead of "Mrs.") - This correction may not be necessary as you say "her husband" in the very next sentence, making it clear that she is a Missus...

1:35 missing word - "an" (I don't think this changes the meaning or is unclear - so this is optional):
and they’re on an equality.”

Mrs. Turton Chapter 7 is PL OK!

Thanks, Anna Kate!

Here's Mrs. Turton chapter 20 =1:10.

Mrs. Turton Chapters 20 and 24 are PL OK! Great acting, Anna Kate! I also love your laughing, crying, and gasping! Brava!
