Would There Ever Be a Possibility...? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I'll have something quite fun to come for you just as I have time to edit it properly...

So we made the scene where the fellowship is in front of the gates of Moria while Brinn was here. Six different actors with one take! I have edited the laughs from between it already

and thrown the voices here and there but I will still look at it once before I send it forwards...

Just wait to hear the performances and our home-made sound effects!

And remember you can join "the club" by sending me your e-mail - and hopefully also your own contribution...

Noggie, if you have a place to host that recording on the internet, would you please give us the link? It would be great fun for all of us, not just those involved, to be able to hear it!

I recorded a few bits on my entirely crappy integral microphone and it sounds truly truly awful. But, at least you now know kind of what I sound like when I read.

I went ahead and uploaded what we have to my Xanga audio page- it's streaming only, contents are in post #121 above. Should be the first one on the list.

Any objections? Too bad! Mwahaha! Hem.

Thanks for your clips Mac and Gwath! I'll be mixing them a bit tomorrow and will then send them back for everyone to hear. As well as our six-actor spectacle from the Journey in the Dark.

If I find a free audio upload page I will send them there as well (I need to check that xanga page). Otherwise I could send them to Oddwen who could in turn upload them to her xanga-account...

Thanks for uploading those first ones Oddwen!

And Esty, do join the "gang"!

Nogrod · 04-15-2008, 02:54 PM

Done!

So I opened an account in xanga. The quality of the file isn't the best one there as Oddwen already noted but it works.

Just go here, sit back and relax...

It's all done with one take. I have just edited the bursts of laughter and the different noises resulting from us changing places around the mike to produce something like a more or less fluent storytelling.

As it's done with one take there are a lots of mistakes and all that but this is more a documentary of us having fun than any ambitious project to produce a highquality radio adaptation. Then there's too much Gandalf and it starts slowly but after you reach eight minutes it becomes quite fun indeed.

Pay heed to the sound effects in the end! Pure home made effects!

The actors: Aganzir, Brinn, Greenie, Lommy, Nogrod, Volo

Hurray, it's finished! Thanks for posting it, Nogrod.

Now let's see if others can guess who is playing who... (I'm sure I won't be difficult to guess since I'm the only American.

)

Btw, for future reference to anyone who wants to post audio, I searched on google and there's tons of audio hosting sites. For example, here is one.
