COMPLETE[PLAY]Rudens by Plautus - thw

Stage directions act 1:
https://librivox.org/uploads/toddhw/rudens_1_plautus_128kb.mp3 9:37.

I'm going to hold off on any more acts until I've got feedback. I want to discover if my technique or pronunciation
are so bad I need to do it again.

you technique is very good and as to pronunciation, it's Old Greek names...so we all do our best

I was already happy that you didn't forget to mention the dramatis personae

still, a few notes to edit:

> at 0:49: Sceparnio, Gripus, Turbalio, Sparax, servants of Daemones - in fact we need each credit separately: "Sceparnio, servant of Daemones, read by..."

> at 1:19: Palaestra, Ampelisca, young woman in the possession of Labrax - also here, each woman separately

> at about 1:26: you forgot your own credit: "Stage directions read by Adrian Stephens"

> at 1:46: "the subject, etc" - not sure we need this part, let's wait for Todd's answer, but so far we always skipped it because it was a mega spoiler

> at 3:51: "the acrostic argument" - also here, not sure we need that, but let's wait for Todd's reply

> at about 4:39: (p. 66-68) three missed bits: "pointing to the cottage"; "pointing at it" and "exit"

> at about 7:22: (p. 72) missed line: "a pause"

thank you for the fast turn-around

Thank you, Sonia. Here is the updated version: https://librivox.org/uploads/toddhw/rudens_1_plautus_128kb.mp3

now at 5:02 > at about 4:39: (p. 66-68) three missed bits: "pointing to the cottage"; "pointing at it" and "exit"

now at 8:01> at about 7:22: (p. 72) missed line: "a pause"

As to the other possibly superfluous bits, I'm going to assume that Todd will include them or not as he sees fit.

Regards,
Adrian

[ToddHW]

I won't be using the Subject or Acrostic Argument. Spoilers.

Thanks, Todd

thank you so much for the new timestamps, Adrian. Acts 1-4 are now perfectly PL ok. Excellent level of accuracy.

And yes, Todd can simply leave out the spoilers, no need to reupload for that.

One small missed part in Act 5:

> at 5:28: (p. 132) "an actor, to the audience" - name needs to be included, as it's not Gripus who speaks right before this. Todd will be reading this line

thanks, this means, Acts 1 and 4 are already complete for editing. Except a couple of voice credits still needed

PL ok now, thank you

Act 5 is also ready to edit

Sonia

Trachalio not in Act 1. Voice credit is at the beginning of the Act 2 file.

[ToddHW]

Drat. I know I checked there - and there is still is now. Thanks!

Todd

[ToddHW]

DRAFTs of Acts 1,4,5 complete - still need to groom before final PL.

Thanks, Todd

[Inkell]

And here is Turbalio:

Hopefully I didn't miss any lines, I realized in editing I had to record them and add which is why this took longer than I had anticipated

yep, seems to me that all the lines are in and sounding quite threatening at times, well done, thanks, Inkell

PL ok

Sonia

[ToddHW]

Act 5 ready for Final PL. Feel free to ignore this until the other acts are ready in case you want to hear it in order.

All sounds great - though with more than a little confusion!

Thanks, Todd
