I am sorry but I will not be able to complete Mrs. Alpiew. I will check in and see if the part is still available once I am set up again.
Thanks! Jessica
So sorry to hear this. Good luck!

Thanks, Todd

excellent job, M. Lady Lucy is very strict with everybody, but still a likable character. I enjoyed it.

All acts PL ok. Only you misnamed two files, act 3 is named 4 and vice-versa. No need to reupload, I made a note for Todd in the MW. :)

thanks

Sorry about mixing up the acts. At least I didn't record the same one twice. :)

I think that this offer got buried in the thread. No worries if you'd rather not have duplicate claims! Just let me know.

Maybe I explained it badly :( The problem usually lies with the "aside", because the other directions are mostly in the right position. Here it was often very clear that the name needs to be included, because the actor only spoke one sentence, so the aside needed to be put at the beginning, there was no dilemma there. Still you forgot the names.

So, going forward, maybe this is easier:

> if there is only one sentence: the name needs to be included with the aside
> if there are more sentences, you need to check what makes more sense to be spoken as aside. If it's the first sentence, name needs to be included

Well, I listed them all now, the names that need to be included:

> at 0:55: (p. 227) "Lovely, aside"
> at 2:58: (p. 230) "Sir James, aside"
> at 3:05: (p. 230) "Mrs Sago, aside"
> at 3:11: (p. 230) Mrs Sago, in an uneasy air"
> at 3:18 (p. 230) "Lady Lucy, aside"
> at 4:15: (p. 232) Alpiew, whispers her lady"
> at 4:22: (p. 232) "Sir James, aside"
> at 5:34: (p. 235) "Lord Worthy aside"
> at 5:47: (p. 235) "Buckle aside"
> at 5:59: (p. 236) "Buckle aside"
> at 6:06: (p. 236) "Alpiew aside"
> at 6:12: (p. 236) "Buckle aside"
> at 6:24: (p. 236) "Lady Reveller aside"
> at 6:37: (p. 236) "Buckle aside"

and one sentence cut:

> at 5:15: (p. 235) "as Buckkle goes out enter lord Worthy" - good call to repeat the name here, so you can delete the version where you only say "he"

thanks

Well hopefully act 3 is okay now at least as I think I made all the right changes-
Act 3: https://librivox.org/uploads/toddhw/bassettable_stagedirections_3.mp3

And yes I think the asides are the most confusing one, the first one I hadn't even recorded the name because I thought it was in the middle of two sentences so didn't need it. I'll try bear your advice in mind for the next act, hopefully 4 will be better :?

On a lighter note, congratulations on your Librivox anniversary, Sonia! :birthday:

oh ! thanks, I keep forgetting :lol: Though I created my forum ID in March, I didn't start participating actively until much later. Somehow I see that date more as my libriversary. (3rd June) but yes, officially I guess it's 28th March.
