EDITING [DR][Hardy Boys #3] The Secret of the Old Mill - rr

[JHedrick]

I can do that for you. I already did Carl Stummer, a yokel, in 6 and 14 as a character voice. Chet would be different, but I understand not wanting the same reader in the same chapter, so perhaps find another Stummer or wait for another Chet? Whatever you decide

Looks like MacBane would also overlap, but it may be easier to cast the both of them as the larger role of Chet. But I'm sure someone will come along either way, so: which would you prefer?

I'm glad there's no overlap with Chief Collig, I'd really hate to give you up for that role!

I had forgotten McBane.

Let’s see who else might want to read. I will just sit back for the time being.

I would love to give your orphaned Chet Morton role a try. I think I could even make him sound like a teenaged boy

Thank you Shelly, I'll look forward to hearing it! Updating the MW now.

And thank you, Jim. Looks like you made the right call, and the timing couldn't have been better!

Oh, we are certainly having fun with this one! I appreciate the sniffs and chuckles as appropriate, thank you for going that extra mile. It will not be in vain.

Only one change needed for this file:
@1:49 (near the end of your first line on page 2), I hear silence in place of "Isn't it lucky?" before continuing with "Congratulations".

Then just a reminder to leave at least 3 seconds of silence between all the lines as you go -
the more consistent that spacing is, the more time I save in editing.

Thanks again for signing up as our Chet, and I look forward to hearing more!

OK here's the corrected file. Thanks! Do people call you redrun? Dramatic Finish?

Got that phrase, thank you! Chapter 3 for Chet Morton is PL OK!

Yes, folks call me redrun - but I see where the confusion might come from!
I picture "Dramatic Finish" as a small classified ad. Some folks put their name in their forum signature. Others put links to projects they're reading or coordinating. I tend to put dramatic projects (whether I'm directly involved or not) that just need a little help to cross the finish line.

[ShellyW]

Oh! I love it!
