Greetings, I'd like 41-45 Stage Directions Acts 1-5, please. Thank you!
Thank you and Welcome.
Here are some simple directions for stage directions; in this case, you can also listen to Don Quixote, Part 1 at https://librivox.org/the-comical-history-of-don-quixote-part-1-by-thomas-durfey/ to see how they go.
You read the intro and outro words for each act. The words to say are in the first posting.
Please leave at least 4-5 seconds of silence (more is better) between each "chunk" you have to read. I will have to copy/paste each bit out of everyone's original file and paste it in the correct spot in the masterfile - and I start with your file when making the master. So it's helpful if you leave enough cutting out/cutting in space.
You need to read carefully through the text, to find all the stage directions, so basically everything that is not being read by a character. (examples: "closes door" or "laughs", "scene 3", Enters and Exits, things like that). Often they are in brackets, but maybe not always.
If you see read a character-description right at the beginning of the character's speech, you need to read the name of the character as well. While when the direction shows up in the middle of a speech, you don't have to read the name.
Example: John (putting down the book): Now listen to me... (closing the door)...I need to tell you a secret.
Here you would have to read all that is underlined. So the name in the beginning, but not repeated in the middle.
As far as Dramatis personae go, yes, please read the entire characteristics, for example: "Satan, the great devil, read by..." -- then 5 seconds pause for editing -- "Pug, the less devil, read by ..." -- 5 seconds pause -- "Iniquity, the vice, read by ..." and so on. This is to make sure we have a complete set of voice credits, just in case one of the readers vanishes without handing in their voice credit. Also don't forget to read "Stage Directions, read by_______" We need your voice credit as well.
If in doubt, just record it - easier for editor to cut than to track you down when they discover they need something. Any questions, just ask.
Thanks, Todd

I would like to read the Stage Directions Acts 1 -5, please. Thank you.
Don Quixote, Act 1: PL OK! 
One note for Act 2:
@1:23, the first word on page 128 is "Commutative", where I might be hearing "Communicative".
(It's been long enough, I didn't immediately recognize this term from mathematics, but I suppose it makes sense in technical discussions of law.
)
I hope to complete the other acts tomorrow.

Don Quixote Act 2 ready for Spot PL. Yeah, one of those math things....
Thanks, Todd
Thanks, Todd
And with that, all of Don Quixote is PL OK!
From this batch, I particularly enjoyed the sermon on the three virtues!
(And if I started to nod off, it's only because it's been a very long day.
)
