We do say them. Or, rather, the narrator does. Essentially, a DR is sort of a cross between collaborative book project and play. In a book project, the BC usually aligns chapters with sections in the MW. Volunteers claim chapters, i.e. sections, and record them as units (mp3 files) that have intro and outros. But for plays (mp3 per scene or act), and for DR's (mp3 for chapter or chapters) there are there are multiple readers (claimants) in each of the final mp3 recordings (one per act, scene, etc.). That's because the claims extend over multiple sections, since they are for roles. So we don't really need multiple standard intros, but just one per mp3 recording and that one is done by the narrator. For this project, I am the narrator and it's my responsibility, as such, to do those standardized bits. Make sense?WinterMoon wrote: ↑May 11th, 2024, 11:13 am
Brian,
Okay, I think I understand what to do for the first file, the one where there's only one line so I'll hopefully send that over this evening. The other one I think I understand most of it lol but I guess one major difference is, why don't the dramatic works have us say the standard librovox intro "Section _ of dah dah , this is a librovox recording. all recordings are in the public domain, etc. etc." lol
For a DR someone, most often the BC, copies from the source text, which they then scan for quotes indicating lines delivered by a character's voice actor in making a script from the source text. We then indicate who (which character) reads (volunteer portrays) the quoted text. Some script makers (BC's) like to do that indicating using color coding, others insert "headings", some do both. I don't usually use color coding because someone (who shall go nameless) told me they are color blind and can't distinguish color shades easily.
I hope I am not belaboring this to the point of confusing you. Let me know if you'd like terser answers!
I'm sure you'd have figured it out! I'm glad you're anxious to get a recording in and I look forward to hearing it. But don't knock yourself out. I'm not sure when your role is "due". If you ever need more time just let me know. I want you to have fun doing this. If you do that, I'm certain I will have fun listening to the finished product.
Honestly, it's such second nature for me, I probably would have done that if I hadn't seen your response.
Okay, I will at least get one of them done and I'll try and navigate and see if I can find my lines for the other section...
Best,
Brian
awwww yay! now onto part 5
I look forward to hearing it.
