Decided to claim Mary Ann in The Snowman.

Also, at the beginning of the play, there is a song that the two children, Mary Ann and Matthew Mark sing together. I recorded a file of just this song (with the tune that I kept reading it as ) for whoever claims Matthew to be able to listen to.

No professional singing is required of course, just want a similar beat and tune so they can be edited together nicely.

I will record and upload Mary Ann's speaking lines later.

Thank you very much for the suggestions on how to assemble it!
I think I got into a good flow and I'm currently at minute 80 of the play (and I haven't finished yet). Which brings me to the question. Should we split this into two parts since it is over 75 minutes? If yes, What would be the correct intro to each part?
Or would it make more sense to have it as a separate dramatic project?
Thanks!

[ToddHW]

You are early enough in this project that I can give you two adjacent sections. They can be 74 minutes max each.

Just add Part 1 and Part 2 to the intros and outros. I am out of town for a week and will come up with new section numbers and filenames then.

Thanks, Todd

Ambsweet13,

Will you be able to mark this PL OK in the MW? I would like to take it off my list.

Thanks,

Greg

[ToddHW]

I am out of town and can’t update the MW until Monday or Tuesday. Sorry.

Hi Todd!
I hope you had a nice break!
I'm finalizing the files for the Man of Destiny and I was wondering what should be the final file names?
Thanks!
Estefania

[ToddHW]

Going to be two files, right? I'm going to move you down to be files 6 and 7:

First final filename to be oneactplays019_06_various_128kb
Second final filename to be oneactplays019_07_various_128kb

And I will add a new 11th slot so we still have 10 plays in the collection.

Thanks, Todd

(Wasn't a real break - a "Celebration of Life" for someone. Though t'was a nice ceremony....)

I think this post might have been missed when Todd was on break.

MW updated.

Hi, karmaemmings,

Thanks for joining us in this little one-act play. I appreciated the crying; it should work quite well in the final file.

I have some notes for you, although these are optional.

Todd--the part can be marked PL Okay; I'll still spot PL if karmaemmings chooses to add/fix these things, of course!

0:40--a longer pause is helpful in isolating the lines to put them together with the narration...even when that means splitting a line. I know it feels quite awkward, but leave 5 seconds, just like you would between one line and the next.
1:12ish--(optional)--if you're able to give any muffled screams/shrieks, I'll try to get the other characters to add some as well, and I'll figure out how to meld them together (this is pg. 172 and again on pg. 183--lots of screaming for such a short play)

One other note for you--I hear quite a few plosives. To be fair, I'm sensitive to them when I'm wearing headphones, but this is where the puff of breath hits the mic. I can actually feel it when I'm wearing the headphones! Anyway, there's one at about 0:30, and several more throughout. Most often this happens on "po" and "thr" sounds, although there are other common miscreants out there. If you isolate the jagged part in the sound file and use a high-pass filter, you can often soften these down without a lot of work (although it can be cumbersome with a long file). If you don't have time to do this, I will be doing it as I edit everything together, but if you want the practice on a short file, this is a good one to start with. I didn't note all of the locations, but if you choose do this, go ahead and give the file a listen. I heard around 4 or 5, I think. If you're not sure about how to use the high-pass filter, you can watch my stumbling efforts to explain in the first half of the video I have on my MediaFire account (https://www.mediafire.com/file_premium/eh28v9bturgjww4/PlosiveReduction.mp4/file. I should remake this and upload to YouTube.

In the meantime, well done. Like I said, these are all just ways to fine tune things, and I can definitely work with what you've already given me!
