It is!

Thank you!

Hi, and thanks so much for this information! I appreciate the pointers and tips, they are very helpful. Will give it a try

Hello! Just a quick note to say I am going to upload the Babbitty Bumble part for Mrs. Tittlemouse, and want to make sure I am sending it to the right place. Do I click your name for the MC? As far as volume goes, the loudest I could get the recording is 86.8 dB, which passed in Checker. I know ideally it should be closer to 89. Will that level still work ok, or maybe need to re-do?

Thanks so much ~

Hi Dustin!
There's a bit more going on in the first post than for most projects - here's the relevant bit about the MC:

[*]You'll need to select the MC, which for this project is: ToddHW

As for the volume, that will be up to whomever edits the Mrs. Tittlemouse story (or whomever checks your files for that editor beforehand). Often the editor will be able to amplify just the quiet parts, bringing each 'line' up to the volume it needs to be - but watch the thread for any notes, in case there's something they need you to fix first.

Hello! Here is the link for the Babbitty Bumble part in Mrs. Tittlemouse:

https://librivox.org/uploads/toddhw/mrstittlemouse_babbittybumble_beatrixpotter.mp3

For my name in the catalogue, could I please use LifeisButaDream?

There may be an issue with the sound level being too low. Could only get it as high as 86.7 dB, I believe. Will be happy to re-do, if need be. Thank you

You sounded just like an indignant bee!

PL OK!

Since 86-91 is the sound level we like to have redoing will not be needed.
Thank you for your prompt recording!

Thank you.

How long is Mrs. Tittlemouse? (That helps make sure all of the file got transferred, and helps a prospective PL'er know how much they are volunteering for.)

Thanks, Todd

Todd, I think this might be the proper place for a DR of the story
"The Show Must Go On" https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/71568
by Henry Slesar https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Slesar (1927-2002, so the DR would be US readers only)
It's roughly 5000 words, so it should fit in a single section, and full to the gills with dialog, so lots and lots of editing.
My rough draft of a script https://fullloon.com/ShowMustGoOn/ShowMustGoOn.pdf ends up with 18 roles, partly because I think each fan letter to the TV - excuse me, fidelivision - show should be read by a different voice.

- So -

Is this the right place for me to be? If so, I'll start seriously proofreading my script and then ask to get launched.

Yes, you are in the right place. Get me the role names and I can set up sections when you are ready for me to add this.

Thanks, Todd
