PL for Capulet

Act 3
1:29 “Held” mispronounced (we held him carelessly)
2.37 “I” mispronounced (which I may call the sea)
3:46 “Thither” mispronounced slightly (on a hurdle thither)
5:59 “Ne’er” mispronounced as “never” (I’ll ne’er acknowledge thee)

Act 4
1:15 “All” added (Friar / [All] our whole city)

Insufficient runout (1 sec)

Act 5
OK

Lovely reading!

Chris.

PL for Nurse

Hi Arielle

Minor stuff...

1. Missing intros for each file: "Nurse - read by [your name]"

2. Volume rather high on both files: 93-94dB - just on the edge of LV limits (89dB +/- 2-4 dB)

Text - word perfect!

Lovely reading. Sent shivers down my spine when she finds Juliet "dead" - thank you!

Chris.

John,
I'm not that bothered about the mispronunciations unless you wish to change them

Also, the "all" is just one word, so again, I'll leave it up to you whether you want to change it or not

Hi Cat,
I can't go around mis-quoting Shakespeare - people will talk about me!

So I have uploaded an edited act 4: (06:05)

Re the pronunciation: if it is all the same with you, I will leave act 3 as is. Put that down to my usual accent. (My countrymen pronounce "held" as "haywd", so I doubt I can improve it much. Olivier I aint!)

Cheers - John

Hi Cat

Do you still need/want me to PL Friar Lawrence now he's complete?

Thanks, Chris.

catrose · Post by **catrose** » June 27th, 2013, 2:35 pm

If you don't mind, Chris

That'd be brilliant

Thanks Denny and Marcy

Hi Cat

FL mp3s aren't in the MW yet so can't PL them.

Can you let me know when they're posted please

Thanks, Chris.

Ignore my last post - as Todd pointed out, the files are available in this thread.

So I've PL'd them. Please find my comments below Denny:

Act 3

1:14 “Thou art” for “Art thou” (hence from Verona art though banished)
4:59 Thud (hitting mic?)
6:36 Beep in mid-speech

Act 4

Act 4 is rather quiet (86.4 dB vs target 89 dB)

1:00 “This time alone” for “The time alone”
04:50 “And” added
05:05 “Thou” for “You”

Act 5

0:00-2:20 Act 4 Scene 1 repeated
04:11 “Has for “Hath” (how long hath he been there?)
07:37 “She would” for “would she” (would she kill herself)

Thanks, Chris.

Here are the re-edited Friar's lines for Acts 3, 5 and 6:

I'm not sure how to increase the dB level for Act 4. If somebody knows how, please do! Thanks.

Thanks Denny

Only one minor outstanding now in Act 5 at 06:00 - "who" for "which" (But he which bore my letter, Friar John).
I'd say this was PL OK, but it's the BC's decision.

Thanks, Chris.
