I believe you have a strong connection with this character and it showed in the passion with which you delivered their lines. Very nicely done! I did take notes on anything that I caught while listening to your fine performance:
  • 05:28 "Thou art the spring / That I used to pine for," [missing That]
  • 05:34 "My heart hailed thee friend" [read as: "My heart hailed thee as friend"]
  • 07:34 "And ere now thy glowing / Eye have I seen: [read as "And ere now thy glowing / Eye I have seen:"]
  • 08:10 "The name of thy father was Wölfe?" [I do think that the 'W' in Wölfe should be pronounced as a 'V' in English]
  • 13:27 "From off the field" [read as "Far off the field"]
I suppose the one at 5:34 alters the meaning a bit. I'll leave it to you decide which of the others you want to address. When you upload your revision please let me know which you edited so that I'll know where to focus for spot PL.

Thank you.
I have fixed 5:28 and 5:34

but I am having a hard time matching tone in the last three, I feel like they are better as they are than with a clearly inserted later line.
I left those as they are, but can try again tm to redo those if you would like

Fair enough. Thank you. I don't think you need to spend any more time on those last three. If you're satisfied I am too. Thanks.
If I were you I'd claim a Gold-Killer role. Just sayin'

Brian,

I'm sorry to bother you... I'd be very happy if I could have an extension on my recording for Brunhilde please. :oops:
Cheers, Ava.

Here is Fafner. 5:27

Tried to give him a big voice since he is, after all, a giant!

I don't relish the prospect of offering PL Notes to a fratricidal giant. This is possibly the bravest thing I've ever done. :shock:
  • (2:13) "The Niblung's red-gleaming gold" [I hear 'gleamed']
  • (2:28) "(What our malice never achieved)" [I hear 'were']
Seriously, I'll leave it to you as to whether you feel that the above merit a revision. Please let me know.

Also, might I humbly request that you not melt my ears when you shape-shift into a giant, fire-breathing dragon for Siegfried recording?

Fafner fixed and uploaded for Spot PL.

Now for the shape-shifting part. It will be really great to have large wings, fiery breath, and very big teeth!

Tremble, all ye that gaze upon me!

Perfect. Thank you. I learned what a dragon sounds like when yawning and laughing and most importantly, perhaps, I learned how to pronounce "Pruh!".

Glad you enjoyed it. I really liked the "What big teeth you have Grandma" moment - wonder if Red Riding Hood author or Wagner came first; who stole from who?

Thanks, Todd
