While we're on the topic of Saruman's voice,
I have great admiration for the sound technicians who worked on this film. Saruman's opening lines sound so eerie, and yet, at the same time, so voluptuous, almost sensual in their power. The depth and range give him so much charisma, he sounds practically hyptonic. This, in turn, explains to me why Gandalf would act so deferential, even goofy, around his old friend. This Saruman has got gravitas!
