This is my first significant effort in DR, so be patient with me.
Narrator is shown as Open, but I have those spots, correct?
Also, should there be a Forward section, or do I include that with Ch 1?

It seems then that you want One recording for each section as they are broken out in the script.
I haven't looked at it in detail, yet but hope to get into it in the coming weeks.

Let me know if I've gone astray.

OK. Yes, the narrator is yours. I had forgotten to add that in.

The foreword has it's own section. I just fixed that.

Yes. One recording per chapter.

Thanks,

Another question: should we say Act# or Chapter #?

Henrietta, while I reading over my lines I noticed that one of the lines for the Baron in Chapter 8 is missing his name.

I wanted to get a start on it and make sure I was doing it right.

It sounds ok to me, but I wanted to be sure my neighbors' tv wasn't bleeding into it.
Let me know if this piece sounds ok, and I'm getting the syntax right.
I'll also try to do Chapter 1 and get it submitted for the same reasons.
I don't know what you all have to go through to patch all this together, so I want to be sure I'm giving you what you need.

It seems there is an error in the MW. ElizaZ told me that she would DPL the parts. Is it possible for that to be fixed?

I noticed that Eliza has been away for a week now, maybe summer vacation, so to avoid having Keith wait for some feedback I gave the recording a listen. I have to say, the foreword was perfectly read, and makes you look forward for the main story! No neighbors' TV either! :D

Forward can be marked PL OK! Unless: Henrietta, would you like to include the Cast of characters in the Foreword, or in Chapter 1? Whichever it will be, it will be best for the narrator to include the phrase "Cast of Characters" and after that we'll edit to add the "[character] read by [name]" phrase by each reader. So if you'd like it in the foreword, I would suggest adding the phrase "Cast of Characters" at the end of the Foreword, I mean just before the phrase "End of Foreword". What do you think?

I think that it would be best if we add the cast of characters to the beginning of Chapter 1 to reduce the amount of work Keith has to do. I will mark Foreword as PL okay! :D

Rapunzelina, I just noticed that Foreword is spelled wrong in the link. Is that okay?

I can't see what link you mean, but I don't think it's a problem.
