Act 2 assembled except for Rhoda. Fun to see how all the red herrings and foreshadowing come together at the end of the act.

EDIT: And Act 3 assembled too.

Thanks, Todd

[ToddHW]

An orphan. Fast turnaround appreciated since everything else is done.

Thanks, Todd

This line was marked in the text as being rhoda, but i didn't read it as it appears as tho it should have been mr lee's part. 'Very well, then, T\l go and find Lady Gillingham. [Taking her hand.] Suppose your mother, for some reason, dislikes me exceedingly.'

Here are Rhoda's parts, acts 1 - 3

In act 2 i didn't read one of the lines marked in the text as being rhoda, something about not being liked by sylvia's mother as it appears as though it was meant to be read by mr. lee.

[ToddHW]

Thank you. Especially for the rapid turnaround!

wow this was indeed a rapid turnaround, so I checked your files right away. Rhoda is all PL ok, thank you so much. You do convey the sulkiness of the character quite well. Rhoda is uncomfortably unhappy with her lot and it shows in your interpretation. I like it

Only careful with your volume, in Act 2 you exceed 95 dB I'll make a note for Todd to decrease the volume, no need for you to reupload.

you are right and I missed this when I checked Tomas' files. I checked now and he missed the line. Todd: I will email him straight away, let's hope he can whip his microphone out this afternoon to hand it in. That way the play can get archived soon.

I adjust all the volumes as I merge the parts together. The worry with excessive volume is "clipping" in the original recording which produces an annoying buzz. If it does clip, and Sonia would have told you if it had, deamplifying it later - by you or me - will not be able to eliminate the buzz and fix the file.

Thank you for a great read and rapid turnaround. I'll start cutting your lines into the master files and we'll be done and into the catalog with this shortly.

Act 1 is ready for final PL.

Act 2 and 3 assembly done (except for new act 2 line), but not ready for listening yet.

Thanks, Todd

[ToddHW]

Act 3 is also ready for final PL. What a great performance you have all given in this! Thank you all so much.

excellent, you still managed the deeper tone of voice. All PL ok now. Thanks for the fast reply.

Todd, I try to listen to this today still, then we can catalogue.
