I can't volunteer since you already take me to task as Mr. Ogle!

There you go, scaring off all the readers for male roles.....

Maybe when I PL I will discover that the hellhound is a typo and you are supposed to be meek and mild throughout.

Thanks? Todd

Sir William Mode—seems to be seen through by nearly everybody except himself.

Sir William Mode—seems to be seen through by nearly everybody except himself.

you are an excellent fop, and that voice was priceless. Must have been hard to keep that one up for the whole of the recording. I guess your mouth muscles later hurt a lot. It was highly entertaining though and at least you convey clearly why Clarinda would not want Sir William as her husband.

All acts PL ok, super, thanks !

saucy indeed and very mischievous. I already pity Sir William Mode, he won't stand a chance against this assault of plotting against him.

Excellently acted, Val, I loved the little "know-it-all"-chuckles you put in on occasion. Highly entertaining, and looking forward to the rest of the play.

A few small notes to correct however:

> at 0:04: "act 1": you can cut this part, this is the narrator recording it. It won't be included in your voice credit

> at 1:18: (p. 73) "one in the head of innumerable fopperies and insolences attacks me" – you say "sopperies", here actually it looks like an F and also is an F

> at 3:19: (p. 74) "no I must have some contrivance to expose him" – you say "conscience"

> at 4:12: "end of act 1" – can also be cut, will be the narrator's job

thanks

excellently acted, Alan, thank you. You sound very faux-French both acts PL ok....

hm this is tricky though...Todd: I think it should be decided whether Laric is a different person than La Reviere or not. I agree, it looks like Sir William wants him to pretend to be French, so I would also opt to have him as one person. But then the voice credit would need to get merged. Maybe "Laric, as La Reviere, valet" or some such. Also this "servant" showing up at intervals, is sometimes in Sir William's and sometimes in another's household...maybe that should be two different voices, I haven't checked them out in detail yet though.
