Would There Ever Be a Possibility...? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Thanks for your clips Mac and Gwath! I'll be mixing them a bit tomorrow and will then send them back for everyone to hear. As well as our six-actor spectacle from the Journey in the Dark.

If I find a free audio upload page I will send them there as well (I need to check that xanga page). Otherwise I could send them to Oddwen who could in turn upload them to her xanga-account...

Thanks for uploading those first ones Oddwen!

And Esty, do join the "gang"!

Nogrod · 04-15-2008, 02:54 PM

Done!

So I opened an account in xanga. The quality of the file isn't the best one there as Oddwen already noted but it works.

Just go here, sit back and relax...

It's all done with one take. I have just edited the bursts of laughter and the different noises resulting from us changing places around the mike to produce something like a more or less fluent storytelling.

As it's done with one take there are a lots of mistakes and all that but this is more a documentary of us having fun than any ambitious project to produce a highquality radio adaptation. Then there's too much Gandalf and it starts slowly but after you reach eight minutes it becomes quite fun indeed.

Pay heed to the sound effects in the end! Pure home made effects!

The actors: Aganzir, Brinn, Greenie, Lommy, Nogrod, Volo

Hurray, it's finished! Thanks for posting it, Nogrod.

Now let's see if others can guess who is playing who... (I'm sure I won't be difficult to guess since I'm the only American.

)

Btw, for future reference to anyone who wants to post audio, I searched on google and there's tons of audio hosting sites. For example, here is one.

Oh, I loved it. The wolves were *magnificent*. Did you use them when playing live werewolf, too?
But Nogrod, this is getting scary.
You have always really reminded me (personality wise) of my eldest brother. Then, I saw your picture as Tom Bombadil, and I find you look like my eldest brother. Now I have heard your voice (Gandalf, right?) and - what do you know - you sound just like him, too.

Oddwen · 04-15-2008, 10:50 PM

Heh - great job all y'alls on that - your Wargs were much more convincing than the movie.

Yes, and what you DIDN'T know is that your brother is leading a double life in Finland on weekends.

Whoa, Nog, it was wonderful! (All of you!)

"Ouvrez... bitte?"

But especially Gimli had really great accent and Boromir was mad!

And was that squeking of Frodo supposed to be an epigony of my fantastic and original Frodo?

Thinlómien · 04-16-2008, 03:30 AM

I've heard this so many times but it never fails to make me laugh.

(I'm in the school library, listening to it with headphones and people are looking at me and wondering why I'm giglling and grinning... well, they have no clue.

)

I'm laughing at the animals and Gandalf's "clear" mellon and everybody's voices and the whining Hobbits and well, everything...
