DO you want to be Aragorn? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Nogrod · 03-16-2006, 02:13 PM

Well Farael my friend. You are really flying with this one...

Great!

But still, I would advice, that we think about the organizing of this one first (as you seem to do, quite well, indeed), and then make a small - and I mean small (5 pages, or so) - part of the story to see how it works. Lots of dialogue, some narration...

The actual trying will show us many shortcomings in our planning, and help us build a better infrastructure to it. To see in which formats we actually can be handling the stuff etc.

Happy to be of help, if I can!

And one more thing worth thinking about.

How about a "voice test"? Not so much a voice test to the actors (everyones' in I think), but to us who would try to mix them - and for all the actors to give their say on?

So everyone just recording a line or two, with possibly two characters etc. Then Farael and me mixing them, and we all listening to them?

(I just thought about these female elves: add the bass-levels, decrease the middle a lot and carefully adding the highest frequencys - some gentle echo, and voilá! - or then not... should be tested)

Glirdan and Morsul recently contact Pio about roleplaying through TLotR, The Hobbit, and possibly more. But Barrow-Downs roleplaying policy is that taking on the role of 'real' Tolkien characters should be extremely limited. So, obviously, such an RPG would not fit in with the rules here.

But there is an opportunity for the project to be run on another forum, which would be completely dedicated to this project. (These forums were originally part of a RPing site on its own that being 'revamped' at the moment.)

This of course is not meant to take away from the 'group reading' project, which is a very nifty idea, but the RPG/series of RPGs stem from this original suggestion. So I thought I would post here to get a start on who might be interested in taking part in this, particularly any roleplayers out there, or writers in general.

If you are interested, please simply go to the forums here.

Thank you!

Ooh, I'd want to be the random elf who makes a fish face next to Elrond at the beginning of the fellowship, or, hmm, ....maybeh Galadriel.

Nice site.

Nogrod · 03-24-2006, 07:43 PM

And before we totally forget about the idea that got this all about...

So are there any people who would like to just try their voices in reading parts of LotR? No RPG, no shabby deals, just posting recorded reading from agreeed upon places, and me and Farael - or others having fitted software, trying to come up with nice sounding mixes with them? We could all involved have good time with them, and then, if it sounds nice enough, maybe sharing the stuff with other BD'ers?

Glirdan · 03-24-2006, 10:08 PM

As Durelin said above, we (Durelin, Morsul and I) are turning them into RPG's. So, of course, we are looking for others who are interested in this. So come join the site and have some fun. There's already a few of us (discluding Durelin, Morsul and myself) who have joined. This should be a lot of fun and actually give you the opportunity to see what it was like as that character you've alway wanted be.
