I'll take a look tonight and try and synch it up a bit better. Shouldn't be too tricky.

It sounds good to me! In a hypothetical perfect world I would love to sing Finrod, but there are probably better voices for the job than me. If anyone else wants to join up, I'd be delighted.

... it occurs to me that if you sang Sauron and I pushed your voice down just right, we could wind up with a really otherworldly effect. I'll have to check that; I've mostly shifted voices just a little, not by full octaves.

EDIT: Hypothetical male vocals list:

-Thingol: me being bombastic.
-Sauron: you, downshifted a couple of octaves.
-Finrod: me, normal voice.
-Celegorm: you, down one octave.
-Curufin: Third party.
-Beren: Third party.
-Chorus: Anyone who wants to sing it.

I think we need Beren to be a different vocalist to Finrod, for certain (all those duets!); everything else is subject to juggling around. If we don't have someone else:

-Thingol, Sauron, Curufin, Beren: me.
-Finrod, Celegorm: you (shifted for Celegorm).

(Basically I'm trying to avoid clashes in the duets: Finrod-Beren and Beren-Luthien need to be kept distinct.)

EDIT EDIT: Of course, if we're looking for a third-party Beren, then doing the Prison Duet would maybe not be the best plan, because we don't have both vocalists... :-/ See, this is one of the reasons I said I didn't know what you should work on next!

It's creepy! In a good way.

Um. That's a bit of a question. In Quenya, his name would be 'fe-a-NAR-o', so would the Sindarised form be 'fe-a-NOR' to match, or would the emphasis move? I don't really know. I say 'FAY-a-nor', I think. ('ay' for E I'm almost sure is correct; the 'ee' sound is I, as in 'GaladrEE-el'.

You and I are both more likely to find recording time than my wife is.

Should be!
