A couple of years ago, several of us did readings in a voice chat on Yahoo. It was planned in part on the Barrow Downs chat room on Sorcery.net on mirc.
The mighty Barrow Wight himself participated, with Estelyn, TheXPhial, Squatter, and Rimbaud. Others too. I seem to recall that we were the Amon Rudh Debating Society. We didn't have set parts, but just read a chapter with various people taking part, and some changing characters for different chapters, so we didn't formally "audition" for parts. Ah, yes, as Mr. Underhill would say, 'back in the day.'

If someone is thinking about reading the whole LotR, that surely would be a deed worth mentioning!
Maybe we should go on by bits? Taking one chapter (or less) to try with first, and then thinking, whether to have some grander plans?

I still think that it would make an interesting RPG... I don't know how it would work...I'm still trying to figure that out... But first I want to know what you guys think of that idea.

Microphones and recording equipment-or lack of them-are always the ruin of otherwise fun projects like these.
So, I wish to make it clear that what follows is definitely wishful thinking. Faramir for me...or Legolas, or Imrahil...or possibly Grima Wormtongue...

  Otherwise I would be all for playing the part of Gollum, though I'd have to eat about five packets of strepsils per line. I used to love reading aloud when I was a teacher, even doing all the voices and so on, but I wouldn't consent to having my voice recorded unless it was heavily disguised, so Gollum would be ideal for me.

well Im certainly intrigued with the idea but i think if you could explain it a little more I would like it better. Do you mean we each play a charactor and act them out like oh say for instance
I'm Bilbo Bagggins "Bilbo rubbed the ring in his pocket looking out across the party his victems would never forget the joke he was planning." do you mean like that? if so I think that would be astounding it would give a unique veiw of the story we would be in it and know what the charactors are thinking not onl;y observing from afar.
