The Recording took place at 13.00 Pm and was finished by 15.00 Pm. 

Voice Actors

Gary Duncan portrays Alan (13.00 Pm - 15.00 Pm)

Maggie Pentcheva portrays Carrie (13.00 Pm- 15.00 Pm)

Irvine Cruickshank portrays the Train Conductor (15.30 Pm - 16.00 Pm)

Gary and Maggie were the first to be recorded, using the record and rehearse method. They were given the opportunity to read through the script several times between takes in order to help build their characters and make the lines of dialogue flow more naturally when spoken. Unlike the professional actors they required more read throughs to become familiar with the script. 

Irvine was recorded last, lending his voice to the Train conductor. Due to his natural ability to act well, he took less time to record than the other two actors, providing several takes within roughly half an hour. 

All Actors were recorded using the same method as used with Archie and Chrissie to make the recordings as consistent as possible.  

Organising the Radio Drama.

The multiple takes were lined up in a separate session to be arranged. The best lines were separated from each recording and combined into one session for further editing and mixing.
