Thank you so much, Kelly! All files are now in the MW and I had time to do some PLing, as well:

Narrator 2.4 – PL OK
Narrator 3.1 – missing disclaimer at the start ("Act 3 of The Tragedy of Titus Andronicus by William Shakespeare. This is a LibriVox recording...")
Messenger – PL OK
Narrator 4.3 – PL OK
Narrator 5.1 – missing disclaimer at the start ("Act 5 of The Tragedy of Titus Andronicus by William Shakespeare. This is a LibriVox recording...")
Narrator 5.3 – PL OK
First Goth 5.1 – PL OK
First Goth 5.3 – PL OK

If you didn't record disclaimers for Acts 2 and 4, it might be worth fixing those now!

Here are the corrected narrator files. I put the disclaimer in Acts 1 and 2, but then forgot it for 3,4, and 5. Fortunately, that's a quick fix, though.

A very quick fix, indeed! 3.1 and 5.1 are now PL OK!

[Hamlet]

My dramatis personae and my two small roles:

I have a question. The Tribune's speech in 1_1 is to be read by Sonia and Kelly. What I'm wondering is this. Marcus is also a tribune. Should I read that speech as well? He is listed as a "tribune of the people" and in the previous speech, Titus addresses them with, "People of Rome, and people’s tribunes here,..." It is true that Marcus is his brother, but since he is addressing all the tribunes at once, it seems to me that would include Marcus. I'll wait for your judgment on this.

Thanks, Brad! The credits and Second Goth are already PL OK!

As for reading with the other tribunes, you can do so if you'd like. What you say is true and I must have overlooked it when prepping the roles. Hopefully Sonia will be okay with editing together three voices in the end! She's still on holiday right now and can't answer that, but I know she'll do what she can when the editing stage arrives.

I forgot to mention earlier that I also PLed the narration for 4_1 and 5_2. They are perfect.

[WiltedScribe]

Thank you both! It looks like the rest of Kelly's narration is good to go. And Craig's credits are also PL OK! Very short and sweet.

I'm finally back and working off my DPL load

Kelly, your tribune is perfectly PL ok. Thanks

Sonia

and the captain is also PL ok, thank you Brad. You sound so very solemn and stern here

Hopefully Sonia will be okay with editing together three voices in the end! She's still on holiday right now and can't answer that, but I know she'll do what she can when the editing stage arrives.

hm yes I can try to merge three voices, if Brad wants to be included.

I was able to record all my bit supporting roles and the DP credits, so they are now ready for PL! A few of them are in scenes I'm responsible for, so if anyone can PL those for me, that would be awesome.

[Hamlet]

Here's Chiron.

For 5_2 which I'm editing myself, I'm thinking there should be some muffled screams of terror just before Chiron and Demetrius get their throats cut. It makes sense to me, as they can see what is about to happen to them. When I saw the BBC television version years ago they did it (in fact, they were hanging upside down like animals on meat hooks when Titus kills them!).
I would do this for Chiron, of course. Would Kelly be willing to do it at the end of her Demetrius file for this scene?
In editing, I'll lower the volume for the screams and Titus will speak over them.

[WiltedScribe]

Thank you, Brad! Chiron 5.2 is already PL OK and the other files are in the MW.

And yes, if you would like to vocalize their deaths, that is fine! While we can't visualize the violence, we can find audible ways to get it across.

I was able to record all my bit supporting roles and the DP credits, so they are now ready for PL! A few of them are in scenes I'm responsible for, so if anyone can PL those for me, that would be awesome.

I checked all the roles from your own scenes and the ones in my scenes, and everything is perfectly PL ok. Updating MW now.

Great start...sorry I am lagging behind a bit, but I am not sure when I can get a free recording time again. Hopefully this week.
