OPEN[Dramatic Reading] Christmas With Grandma Elsie-mas

[ShellyW]

Thank you for this fun opportunity!
I'm a little confused about the volume on this file. the checker says it falls outside the range, but when I run it through MP3gain I get no info.

Here are my other 3 files. Do you need the lengths of the files?

Hi and thank you for your files. As I am editing the files together later I can adjust the volume. However, you will need to adjust your volume for future recordings. I don't use MP3 gain as I know there has been problems with this in the past.

If you use Audacity you can add in replay gain which will help you adjust your volume.

Replay Gain
Also adding in a plug in called replay gain will help you to check your volume in Audacity. The link for the video on how to do this is below.

Hey, I would like to claim Zoe, but I am still not sure quite how dramatic readings work. I am in the middle of recording my second ever recording for LV, it should be done soon, and then I will be open to reading something else. I am actually recording right now . If it wouldn't be a bother, maybe someone could just tell me what I am supposed to do. Or, if that would take too much of their time, tell me where I can go to get the correct answers.
Thanks,

Hi and thank you for claiming a part. The younger girls are about your age or slightly older. They are
Grace, Maud, Evelyn, Sydney, Lora.
Just let me know which one you would like to sign up to.

Hi Iona
I am happy to sign you up to Zoe.

For a dramatic reading it is similar to a play.

At the beginning of the file you would say

"Zoe read by Iona Muirgel"

You do not need to read the disclaimer so you can go straight into your part.

You will then read a line. After each line you should leave 4 to 5 seconds of silence and then say the next line. This helps with the editing later on.
Chapter 1
"And where does he propose to take us?" you will then leave 4 to 5 seconds of silence then say your next line.

"Surely, papa, the gentlemen also should have a voice in that,"


I hope all that makes sense but please do ask is you have any further questions.

Thank you for your first file. The example was just to show you what to do it was not one of you lines.

Please don't change the filename for this file as I can do that but if you could name them as in the first post.

christmas_role_#.mp3 where # is the chapter number. (e.g. christmas_grace_01.mp3)

This is PL OK
