Thank you kindly for all your helpful directions, hints & tips. I appreciate itjennlea wrote: ↑April 6th, 2024, 7:49 amAbsolutely! Thank you and welcome to the Drama forum!!LindsayAnnCameron wrote: ↑April 5th, 2024, 3:35 pm May I please take the last role :Emmaline Diggs (Acts 1 & 2)
A few of our illustrious Drama folks have written some tips to help get started here on Dramatic Works projects. I was warned it was addicting and I’ll pass on the warning to you!
1) you don't have to read an intro or outro disclaimer, this will be done by the narrator. Instead, record your voice credit at the beginning of your first file using the words in the MW, which should be for this role: "Emmaline Diggs- aged 10, full of mischief, read by XXXX" (whatever you use for your reader name)
2) then browse through the text and record all the lines you have to speak. Also include any "All" lines while your character is on stage. For a big role it may be good to read the entire play to get into character, but at least it would be good to read a bit around your lines, see what the others are saying, so you can better "react" to them. Just be as expressive (according to the character) as you can in your role.
3) if there are pointers in the text qualifying your voice, like [laughs] or [whines], an added bonus would be that you act those out in your reading, if possible, to make it all more interesting.
4) You prepare and upload a separate file for each Act that your character is in. (Note - the section numbers change as I move stuff around on the MW, so remember character name, not section numbers.) Your file will be proof-listened, and you may receive some notes on corrections and their time locations in your file. These will be posted in the forum and show in the Magic Window marked as "See PL Notes" - please cut corrections into your file to update it and upload a new file (SAME NAME) in a reasonable time - like before your voice and equipment setup change and everything sounds different!
5) and most importantly: please leave enough space between each of your speeches, preferably 4-5 seconds or more. Even when you have the stage directions in the middle of your speech (for example: [kisses her hand]), also leave 4-5 seconds of pause there, because our editor (me) later on has to copy all your parts and paste them into her (my) master file and it's helpful if she (me) has enough space to fiddle with.
That's it, I think. Just have fun acting out! Feel free to reach out with any questions!

Act 1 is recorded, but hasn't been edited yet. Should have it for you in a day or two.
I'm going to have to listen to this when it is finished. Seems like it should be a fun listen.
Meanwhile, please let me know of any changes you would like.
In act3, about 2:30 I wasn't sure if I should read the "Others" line as well. I figured it was easier to remove than to insert so I read it. I can remove if you would like.
Thanks,
M
