Hmm, maybe "commanding" wasn't the right word. Of course he doesn't order people around (yet). What I rather meant was a kind of natural authority, one that, within the fellowship, nobody except him and Gandalf has. But unlike Gandalf, Aragorn rarely has long monologues or loses his temper. He doesn't have to explain or shout in order to have people listen to him. Yet his authority is always clearly felt when reading, even already at this point, I think. I missed that a little.

As for Gandalf, I think my voice is not "old enough" for him, but then, who of us would be... but mainly the horde of lines Anyway I could try it - but depends on what others think.
Gandalf actually only appears in rather few chapters, but when he does, he's usually hard to silence.
