I've heard this so many times but it never fails to make me laugh. (I'm in the school library, listening to it with headphones and people are looking at me and wondering why I'm giglling and grinning... well, they have no clue. )

I'm laughing at the animals and Gandalf's "clear" mellon and everybody's voices and the whining Hobbits and well, everything...

I know, I kept expecting Frodo to say, "Are we there yet? Can I have an ice-cream?"

...but overall it's pretty darned impressive. Out of curiosity, Nogrod, did the wolves and the opening door come from an sfx cd, or what?

Nope! They are purely home-made.

The wolves are Aganzir, Brinniel, Greenie, Lommy & Volo. They went to different rooms and howled there. After that I mixed their voice a bit, panned them moving in space and added loads of echo...

The opening of the doors is a combination of two different voices. There are two rocks picked up from the backyard grinded together and then there is my iron mortar which is scratched with the mortar hammer (or whatever is the name of that thing you grind the spices in a mortar). And the resulting sound is given a lot of echo as well as the lowest frequencies are turned to the maximum.

I agree. We had this idea that Gimli would have a Russian accent and Legolas a Swedish one.

Actually, Legate, in case you didn't notice, there was also some Czech in the part where Gandalf uses different languages...

I'm laughing although I haven't even listened to the final version. It was very interesting to do and now I want to get a home studio too. :S
Russian accent indeed...

In fact, I didn't. Nogrod's voice is often very quiet, or sometimes even when he starts loud, the end of the word ends in silence. Only now listening of it with the volume up, I noticed that, but really not on the first hearing.

No. As a matter of fact, her voice is really like that.

I wish I could listen sooo much, but sadly the audio is missing on my computer (it crashed a few months ago, I've been rebuilding the drivers and cards... No fun a'tall.), so my project now has been to relocate the audio component for the computer, which may take a bit, but should happen.

I've been practicing over the past week, and actually hoping my throat cold holds out so I don't make it sound as if anyone the fellowship bumps into is pulling multiple Dernhelm(s).... Eventually...
