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.

May I take the Narrator?

Thank you.

Really great job!! I just have a few notes, where you said the wrong word:

• (1:51.5) I hear: When her brother graduated she told me his sister was coming to Kingsport the next winter. . . The "she" is supposed to be "he".

• (2:06) I hear: And then I asked Christine for her own sake. But it is really: And then I liked Christine for her own sake.

• (2:42.5) I hear: not because I thought of what you call yourself. . . But it is really: not because I thought you what you call yourself. . .

Thank you!

Corrections are ready for spot PL.

sign is PL OK, thank you. Now I feel like we are under way.

Todd - I'm not sure if there is usually an audio credit in these DRs. Please let me know what is typical. Agnes included a 'read by' line in the file so I'm set if that's the way things go.

May I take the Narrator?

Glad to have you aboard.

A list of the remaining roles is at https://fullloon.com/ShowMustGoOn/ShowMustGoOn_Roles.pdf. This includes a very rough estimate on how large each role is.

I'll claim 'Letter 4' for myself so nobody else gets stuck with a three word part.

Thank you for doing that! May I claim Woman?

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 <3

Thank you for doing that! May I claim Woman?

Here's your broadsword, your ten cc's of adrenalin and your four cc's of hypnomecholyl. The network must have a great disclaimer form for people to sign before they step foot on the set.
Please include "Woman, read by Jenn Broda" in your upload. I've modified the script to remind everyone to include such a line.

Yes, everyone should do an audio credit - helps our listeners know who is who. "XYZ read by ABC" where XYZ includes any descriptive words from the MW section tittle

Thanks, Todd

I have just finished editing Mrs. Tittlemouse...will someone please DPL for me?

Thank you all!

~ The Countess

Has anyone asked if they could DPL Mrs. Tittlemouse? If you don't already have someone, may I do it? Thank you.

You certainly may, thanks!

~ The Countess

Hello and fine job! I found only one edit that needs to be made , Thank you.


PL NOTE:

There is a missing (by Mrs. Tittlemouse) line at around 2m32ss of the recording. The line that is missing: "Good-day, Babbitty Bumble;"

Todd,

I would like to BC and edit "Love and Laughter" by Emma-Lindsay Squier. It is a short story that was first published (March 1928) in PHOTOPLAY ("The World's Leading Motion Picture Publication").

I've scripted it as a play. Prior to annotation (for actor's lines) its length was roughly 2,900 words. The mag's blurbs refer to it as a tragicomic fiction story. I'd say somewhat melodramatic. Great fun for those who like to emote, I should think!

I did not find a wikipedia article for the author. I did find several sources to confirm the author's DOB (December 1, 1892) and DOD (September 16, 1941). Those sources include localwiki bio and Denber Public Library. Emma-Lindsay Squier was both a writer and an actress who is listed in IMDb.

If it is not too much to ask for a second section in Scene and Story Collection 004, I would like to BC and edit this one.

Thank you,
Brian

Here is Anne of the Island Chapters 40 and 41:

Would someone mind PLing? I added noise-reduction to the whole file, but if it doesn't sound good I have a copy of the whole thing before I did it.

Thank you,

Hi Norah,

I'm not entirely clear on what it is that you are asking for. I hope that you don't mind me asking for clarification.

Are you asking for someone to proof the recording "as is". Or, are you asking for someone to provide an opinion on whether it needs to possibly be re-edited for quality ("doesn't sound good" in your words) before final proof listening?

Do you, as the BC, think that there needs to be editing for sound quality before you'll feel that it is ready for inclusion in the cataloged collection? Have you considered perhaps asking for assistance under the Editors Wanted topic?

I'm sorry if I'm being obtuse. Really, I'd like to help if I can but I'm not sure what help you are seeking and for that reason I can easily suppose that there might be others better qualified than me to provide it.

Thank you,
Brian
