I thought villains usually sang bass in operas. I suppose it depends on whether the opera is comic or tragic.

My name is Gwathagorio and I imagine I am either a lyric or a spinto tenor. If the game starts soon, I am a definite.

[Mithalwen]

Well generally higher voices tend to be associated with youth/goodness and lower with age/and ambiguity if not evil. Of course there are exceptions and extremely high vocal ranges may have supernatural associations (eg Queen of the Night, Oberon). However please note that these associations should not be related to the game .... you cannot assume that the bass-baritones will be wolves and a lyric soprano the seer. You will not be required to sing exactly it is just to give me the chance to have fun with my narrations - and you can all camp it up like the prima donnas / primo uomos that you are


Also sorry to be a pain in the proverbial but I have slightly altered the concept for the scenario from an opera festival to an operatic competition a la Cardiff Singer of the World so to add to amusement and give a ME connection please also let me know which Middle Earth race you wish to be and preffered region to represent. Also your operatic name (thanks Gwathy I knew there was a reason I asked for names originally despite the fact that unlike a paper notice board the writer is obvious. ).

As ME's senior principality, Belfalas will be the host for the "Dol Amroth singer of Middle Earth" competition which will start as soon as there are a decent number of participants.

[Macalaure]

I'm curious how playing werewolf mixes with having four kids screaming and/or running around in my back and using an Internet connection which makes my browser die randomly.

In other words, I'm in!

Now that sounds just right for me. Sign me up for baritone! I leave it to you what kind. I shall be Barney Broadbottle, a Bree-lander from Staddle, who goes under the pseudonyme of "Macalaure".

[Gwathagor]

I am, of course, a Sindarin elf from the cold northern wilds of Eriador.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

I think I shall hail from Dol Amroth. Being 'half elven' as I so hastily decided I was so many years ago, I can only guess that it's not anywhere near half, and that the truth of the matter is that Mithrellas's blood flows - in a very diluted manner - through my veins, as it does through pretty much everybody else's in those parts.

[Boromir88]

The obvious choice I guess would be Gondor, but I'm feeling so much more spiritted and Rohirric like; so I want Rohan.

[Aganzir]

I should probably go with a dwarf but since I don't feel dwarven at all right now, I pick a race that suits my baddie roles better and be of pure Númenorean blood. Then Aganzir is a good enough name for me.
