I like Nogrod's music, too. And I don't think it ever was too gloomy in the first place.
And I just re-listened to the Merry and Pippin dialogue. Greenie is amazing and I have amazignly contagious yawns. But it really made me laugh because it sounds like regular quarreling between me and Greenie...  PS. Looking at the Xanga page, I see Nogrod has decided to follow Farael's example and start calling me Loomy...

And Nog, the music is very good, too! I really like it. Very well done and well connected!

I think Nogrod should definitely play both, Gimli and Bilbo (unless we have people left who don't get to play anybody). He's doing them both magnificent, and the two characters interact only very little.
Lommy and Lily made a quite marvellous Merry and Pippin. The only slight problem I had was telling the two apart. You have rather similar voices, I have to say. Nogrod, I think the music is excellent, too (definitely not too gloomy for this scene), but don't you think it's a little too loud? I had problems understanding your voice now and then. I'm looking forward to finally hearing Nerwen, and also very much to Volo's version of Gandalf and more of Legate. I'm soon (using a very loose definition of "soon" here) going to send a few more takes of mine. I had a cold recently and my voice went bad, but now I'm ok again. |

Hoping to hear your new takes - as well as Legate's... and anyone. Let's get this started! PS. McCaber, do you have any ideas how the beginning of the "Ring goes south" in Rivendell might sound like?

But we can try to do something about it - in that recording we were talking in voices very close to our normal ones, but I think we'd be able to alter them a little.

Well, I have just sent some clips to Nogrod. I recorded some Aragorn in Hollin and also Elrond. I realised three things: a) I have no idea how should I act Elrond. I think he should be rather "soft" but not sure about the outcome... b) The Fellowship is composed of such dully "normal" characters! I would know really well how to act types like Bill Ferny could be, but these Main Heroes are just too "normal" that I can't lay myself fully into the acting. c) I never realised that Aragorn has sentences which can be so easily misquoted, like: "I have a sense of watchfulness, and of fear, that I have never had here before." Try to speak it over several times. I couldn't stop myself mispronouncing it as "I have a sense of watchfulness and of fear that I have never had beer before"

Here's the good news: I managed to get into my first audio production course (a prerequisite to sound design) for next semester. Which means I'll have access to all sorts of cool audio equipment and studios...even if it's not for school projects (as long as it's not during finals). The bad news: I don't start up that semester until September. Until then, I'll be sitting around at home far away from any cool equipment. It'd be an honour to play Sam and I would do it, but I don't think I have any decent mikes. Though I will be sure to look around and see what my options are when I go home... Quote:
Noggie, would it be possible to get the audio clip of Nerwen and the earlier ones (before Journey in the Dark) by email? I would very much like to have them.

Since I don't have a microphone (although there might be one around the house somewhere, but of poor quality and I don't have a program to record in anyway) I tried Gandalf out on my own and came to the conclution that I can't use my voice in a way it sounds normal, wise and old at the same time. I'm dropping off Gandalf and taking up Frodo if it's alright. Me being the youngest male actor I think Frodo is somehow more natural than Gandalf. I could act much better if I wouldn't have to strain my voice and try pronoucing so many wierd names.
