Can I read for Tantalus, son of Thyestes?

when you assign the last open role, also change the subject title from [OPEN] to [FULL]

A few remarks on Narrator, as optional:
at 3:17 the name Thyestes is a bit jarring, maybe you can edit it a bit to match volume and pitch with the rest of the phrase or re-record the phrase.
after that text, around 3:20 in the recording, I would add "Act 1" and depending on what the BC's/editor's preference is, I would announce each character at first appearance - maybe Ehsan would like to comment on that.

So, what I'm suggesting would go:

"...Thyestes entirely in his power.

Act one.

The Ghost of Tantalus.

The Fury.

He cries aloud as to his family.

To the Fury.

They vanish.

Chorus.

End of Act one."

Good Suggestion!
For my Seneca plays I have the name of each character read before the first time they speak in each act, otherwise the lack of stage directions can leave listeners wondering who is speaking
