Would There Ever Be a Possibility...?

[Gwathagor]

I don't have any proper recording equipment or software, Nogrod, just the built in microphone on my computer. Do you still want a few readings?

Hello, all. I have finally had time to listen to the recordings.

Comments:

–Firstly– Greenie IS Gollum!

–Legate has a good mike set-up, which is giving a nice clean recording. Everyone else– not so good, and it will be a problem, even if I use filters to notch out the background noise/breathing/electrical hum etc.

–I have a bit of acting and singing training, so if we go ahead with this I can coach people on mike technique. This may help somewhat.

Finally, it's great hearing what people sound like. But tell me, Legate, did you inhale helium to do Frodo?

When do we hear your voice Nerwen?

Gwath, please give it a try anyway.

And Nerwen, before you try any extensive operations with the clips wait a moment until I can send you the "original versions" of the recordings. The big one you got via e-mail is something I have already meddled with... (fex. faded the hum from Legate's recording - even though that was an easy one because the wavelength it was was easily blocked without the main quality of the voice suffering)

I'm just having a minute-by-minute schedual right now (and the hours of the day seem not to be enough) but sometime the next week it should ease up a bit and I can then try to send you those unedited versions. Adding effects over effects or filters over filters rarely produces good results.

Let's see this continuing!

Sorry I haven't been keeping up lately - I've been preoccupied with college and various other things - but I'm still here and eager to help.
Nogrod, I have to say (again) - your Gimli is absolutely fantastic! I am a little confused as to why the orcs seem to have Scottish accents...... well, anyway, I will try to get you a recording this weekend at the latest, and nag Mac to do likewise.

Hey ho,

I've been skimming through this thread for the past few days (I admit I haven't had time to read throughly) and since this project seems rather intriguing I just wanted to offer future possible help.

I'm certainly no actress and I hate recording my voice...I'm more of the behind the scenes girl. For the record, I am a film major who has some experience with audio behind me. I'm actually planning to switch my specialisation next semester to post-production as I love to edit and I've been looking into doing sound design (sadly, I'm not sure if I'll be able to get into the audio class I want next semester...). Anyways, I can't really help out much with recording since I don't live near anyone, but in the future I could possibly help out with editing the audio together and adding sound effects (depending on my schedule).

Though, I'm not sure how quickly everyone's planning to put this together...as I wouldn't be able to help out for a little while. I'm currently studying abroad in Europe and when I return to the US, I'll be back home for the summer (therefore lacking equipment). But I return to my college in September where we have computers with all sorts of audio programs as well as recording studios and foley studios. Computers are easy to access, and it might be possible for me to reserve a room since I will be in a Film 2 class.

Anyways, this is a really cool project and if you'd like me to help out, let me know.

(I apologise for any typos. German keyboards are funky...the y and z buttons are switched and it confuses me).

Nope, toluen. But really, you'd wonder how often I speak like that (with my brother, that is. It was developed from making a caricature of one of his former classmates who spoke similarly.)

Brinn, I am sure any help would be appreciated... especially in the technical fields. And even if you wanted to join and do some recording yourself (I think your voice would be okay for that, and everyone has a bit of acting talent at least).

Yes, tell me about that. Every time I go abroad and write something on the computer there, they have Z in the left-down corner and Y in the middle of the upper line. How can anyone write with that?
