Not to worry, Gov'ner.
Perfectly done. As I told others, I can't wait to hear this all put together.

AMB,
Here is the corrected Chapter I with one exception. That was the one at 43:58. It is found on page 48: "He's not going. (
Or, He doesn't know where to go...)" The first thing to notice is the parenthesis and then you will notice that the word "Or" is in italic and the "He doesn't know where to go" is not. What that means is that the actress may choose which of the two lines she wants to use. So, in fact, in this context (LV), it isn't really a Stage Direction.

Thank you for the corrections! Act 1 is now PL-OK!

Hi,
Sorry for the inconvenience but I was doing the editing for Act 1 and found a couple errors that were missed on PL.
First, can you please read the full voice credit (Ethel, her daughter, read by (your name))
Second, there is one missing line that was hidden in there. Bottom of p.30 "Never saw him".
You don't need to add this to your original file just give it a new name (something like pegomyheart_Ethelmissing_1_128kb)
Thank you!
AMB

I'm so sorry for the delay! I had surgery and then recovery so my mind was not on this project. I recorded the missing voice credit and the missing line.
Thanks!

Melissa,
First of all, we all hope your recovery as gone well and that you are really on the mend.
Secondly, your "ethelmissing" reading is great, but it is only at 69.7 dB as per 'Checker'. If you get a chance, please increase the volume up closer to 89. Your original recording is at 86.7, on the quiet side, but fine.

Melissa,
This whole thing is a continual learning process, and you are doing very well.
"Perfection", as far as volume goes, is 89.0 dB. You came in at 89.2. Great work. Ethelmissing is now

I have been working on the assembly of Act 1. It is going to be too long to fit in one recording so I will need a couple more lines of the stage directions.
"Part 1"
"Part 2"
"End of Act 1 Part 1"
"End of Act 1 Part 2"

Also, mightyfelix, can you add another section to the magic window so I can use it for Act 1 Part 2

You can add sections yourself. You just can't delete them. There's a button near the top to let you do that (Add new section). Then you can drag the new section to wherever you want it.

I didn't realize this was this was to me.

I thought it was just you and Devorah discussing the final editing until I read it in detail and I think it was for me. I am away from a computer now, and won't be back home until Tuesday. I will get it done then. Sorry for the hangup.

Whoops, probably should have replied to one of your posts to make it more clear. Don't worry about it, editing like crazy here and adding in those little comments won't take very long!

No problem, but I do have a question. This is my first Play DPLing. Maybe I got myself into more that I expected. So, I am to PL the entire play after you have edited it? Is that what I am gathering? It is OK and I will do it, but more that I knew. New learning is not a bad thing

Maybe a little instruction one exactly is my responsibility would help.
Thanks,
Wayne
