I think you're referring to me Lommy... I'm no "anti-facebookist" but I just haven't found any reason to start a facebook account. I mean really I have just a limited number of hours on any given day... And to make a facebook account would mean that you should have the time to throw those beavers to one and another not-seen-in-twenty-years-old-friend...

If everyone else is in the facebook and the site has a great (easy, limitless and easily accesible) interface to share audio-files I might join facebook just because of this project.

But we might as well create a shared account to any of the net's audio sharing sites. Like xanga or any other sites there are. We just create an account with a name and password we can share between ourselves so that anyone inolved can get into it?

Volo's latest can be heard here.

I will make a trial for Gandalf the next week just to get a comparison...

McCaber where are you? Have you done the parts to the elves and hobbits in Rivendell or are you doing it in the first place? Or Caradhras... or the getting out from there - meeting the wolves or other?

I'd just like to know what you're doing so as to see which are the settings I could / should try myself.

Nice reading Volo. Thanks for that, Nogrod.

I personally think Volo would be a good Frodo.

I think so too. Better use my youthful voice as a strength and not a weekness. But I also think Nogrod would be better as Gimli.

Nogrod- I really haven't devoted much time to the music yet. This is finals week for me, so after this I should have plenty of time.

No hurry! It seems this will stretch to the summer anyway. But if you have any preferences just let me know. I think we should use my compositions to cover the first actual walking and the Hollin-part as they can be neatly intertwined and I've done alrerady some work to build that. So would you take the Rivendell section and do you wish to take also Caradhras and what follows? Or should we exhange ideas on either of them?

I think we should try to make the casting in May and then people could start making their recordings in June. With good luck and lots of work we might have something ready in July.

Which means we should actually start making some decisions.

And to begin it: I do vote for Volo to be Frodo as well.

He'd make a good Elrond too, and I think he'd not definitely be bad as Gandalf either - although, it's a bit difficult to say because Gandalf doesn't shout all the time after all...

Thank you. Although possibly I should be careful with further recordings, so that I don't make your education suffer... or then tell Nog to make shorter clips...

Well I could second what you said here - although this recording would be a reason to make an account, what is exactly the reason why we can't just stay with the Downs?

And I think Volo would make a good Frodo. Now before I say the next thing, I would like everyone to know that this is not meant like an insult (especially from me I should make this clear, I think

) - he sounds like Elijah Wood.

I just thought it would be a good idea, to display our hard work so that other LotR fans can hear it and appreciate it (hopefully!)

So this is what we have then concerning casting?

Narrator - Oddwen
Frodo - Volo
Legolas - Nerwen, or Mac? Has this been decided?
Gimli - Nogrod (or, if Nogrod decides he would rather do Gandalf, who then?)
Boromir - Matthew (me)
Sam - Brinniel
Merry - Lommy
Pippin - Greenie
Bilbo - Nogrod

So, we need an Aragorn, Gandalf, and Elrond. My vote is for Legate playing Elrond, but I'll leave that up to the majority vote and of course to Legate himself. For Aragorn and Gandalf I am torn. I remember really liking Gwath's Aragorn. I would like to mention though that I have a good friend who has some acting experience as well who would love to be a part of this project, playing a character if possible. He's going to be making a BD account any day now and will have a recording sent your way. I know he fancies Legolas, but I know we already have a decision to make concerning him. He has a good voice so we'll see what everybody thinks.

Ok everybody I am very, very excited about this!

Volo's Bilbo sounds a great deal like Yoda. In a good way.

MatthewM · 05-13-2008, 10:36 AM

EVERYONE!

I have created a FACEBOOK group for our project. Feel free to join!

http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=17035870763

Let me know what you think.

Gwathagor · 05-13-2008, 06:04 PM

Well done. We could just as easily share the news on the Barrow-Downs facebook group - and reach a larger audience, too - but this works fine.

Keeping in the spirit of character, check out these pictures of me in my Boromir attire, taken the other day-
