Would There Ever Be a Possibility...?

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.

EVERYONE!

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

Let me know what you think.

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-

I'm going to be in Romania for a week an so will not be able to do anything meanwhile... But I have a few ideas we're going to try with Greenie as comes to the music - some flutes and voices, a duetto or a quartet... We'll come back with them after my trip is over.

And we should still cast a few characters...

Althoug I'd say all those having clear roles already could start recording their parts any day now. Just take it easy and don't hurry with your lines! And try to minimize the background hum.

Let's do this! It's worth it!

PS. Nice pics Matthew even if Boromir's sleeves are a bit too dandy! But surely there's Boromir in you!
