Would There Ever Be a Possibility...?

[Gwathagor]

Thenamir will voice Gandalf.

Let's get to work.

[Brinniel]

I checked out a flash recorder for a school project this weekend and decided to finally make some recordings for this project since I had the equipment. Perhaps I should email them to you, Nogrod, or should I post them online somewhere?

I'll be able to do future recordings with the same equipment for the remainder of the semester at least. I could do more vocal stuff, or more preferably I can create some sound effects. Just specify what you want me to do.

[Nogrod]

Good to hear that Brinn!

I'll try at last today have time to go through my files to check out what we already have and what we need to finish that first "episode".

[Nogrod]

Here's what we seem to have...

Music - ok.

Narration by Oddwen - a bit fast paced and the record-levels could still be a bit higher but it will do unless Odd wishes to make it once more...

Gandalf by Thenamir - ok.

Aragorn by Gwath - ok.

Boromir by Matthew - still very problematic as it hisses and cracks a lot. I can try it with the versions I have but it will sound nasty.

Legolas by Nerwen - ok.

Gimli by Nogrod - not done yet but will be as soon as I get on with it.

The hobbits... well... the hobbits. Volo made me one one-liner by Frodo (all there is fvor Frodo in the first setting) but I have definitively lost it... I'll try to find it. Then I think Lommy & Greenie were going to make Merry & Pip. That can be done any day they visit my place.

So we miss only Sam then? (and that lost Frodo line...)

Who's going to go for Sam?


I'm not sure - as I hadn't time to check it - but if you guys remember all the better: so did you (Thenamir, Gwath, Nerwen, Matthew) send me all the lines of your characters before Sam takes the watch and the crebain come? If yes, then there is no problem.

If you Matthew just would give it one more try with whatever gear you can get hold on to (like school-stuff or something) it would be great. You have a nice voice and you actually act! It would be cool to have that without your voice being buried under the hiss and buzz...


After all that should be recorded is done (it shouldn't take too much time and depends basically on how fast we will get a Sam) I'll need some time to put this all together which will take some time and effort - and it probably means also some reworking with the music-stuff (not anything major though as I can copy bits from here and there to fit the final thing). We have an autumn leave from school within two weeks and that might be the time I would try to bring this all together.

[Nogrod]

Btw. we must do another one as now Mac, Legate, Rikae, Hookbill, Form... got no role (unless one of them takes Sam)!

[Gwathagor]

I actually don't remember how much I sent you, Nogrod, but if I get the chance, I'll go back and check. Thanks!

Well, I thought I was listed for Sam so I went ahead and recorded his lines. But if you all would rather have someone else play him, I suppose that's okay...

I also read some narration and dialogue from other parts, just to give a voice sample.

Unless I've missed something, Legolas only has one speech in that section, so yes.

Indeed. I was just checking...I admittingly stopped paying attention to this thread halfway through the summer since there wasn't much I could do until I had the equipment. I didn't know if something had changed since then.

I can send the files to you...perhaps tomorrow. Could you PM me your email, Noggie? I don't think I have it...

[Brinniel]

Nogrod, I emailed you six of the eight audio files...but the final two were apparently too big. I have an Xanga account, so perhaps I'll post those bigger files on it later.

[MatthewM]

It definitely has been awhile! I will try to get my hands on a good microphone...I don't know if I recorded all my parts yet but I will look that over later next week...busy school time! Anyway, good to see we haven't forgotten about this

Indeed, another one should be planned, I purposed a hobbit's only adaption, which would, besides the hobbits, leave only about 3 other roles available in the scene I picked. But we can decide for a different one with a larger cast, if you all wish. We should discuss this as well!
