Pèrez has been floundering all on his own for a while.
Can I claim him?

Here's Perez, acts 1 to 5. Hope they're OK and fingers crossed, I haven't missed any lines.

Excellent, you make a wonderful Perez! All acts PL OK! :thumbs:

You got those lines as noted on page 39, and if you've missed any others, I've been unable to find them either. :wink:

You did a great job with the long 's', with only one question mark. It's perfectly usable as is, but I'm hearing other folks read "Chryfoftom" as "Chrysostom". Totally optional, but if you'd like to change it, it's page 22, in Act II, @0:51.

Yes, I did wonder about that one alright! For consistency, I changed it to Chrysostom and have reuploaded it.

Good job, and I think you got all of those pesky long s's! :wink:
I have an optional note for you that's a matter of interpretation, but I bring it up in case you'd want to change your performance:
@0:59, final line of page 87 - the "et cetera", as I've recently learned, is a sign to repeat the line before it - so the line would be "Let it be so, let it be so".

If you do decide to make that change, then we can also save Todd some editing time by adding silence to these places:
@0:58 before "Let it be so"
@0:04 before "I when I please"

Audacity has some neat tools like Analyze -> Label Sounds which make it easier to edit fast, but require that 3+ seconds of silence between lines to work properly.
