The Sound of Middle-earth -> reading from LotR - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Yeah, it was incredible! As has been said, we started with the Troll scene; Oddwen was our narrator, Agan, Lommy and me were the Trolls, Kath was Bilbo, Eönwë Gandalf, and Gwath did all the Dwarves. When Legate joined us a short while later, we decided this was much too good to stop now and plunged right into the Voice of Saruman.
For the record, Eönwë's voice is very pleasant too, as is Oddwen's. And everybody else was fabulous as well. I couldn't but shrink back from my computer when Gwathdalf dismissed me from the balcony of Orthanc!
The following chat was quite unforgettable. Among other things, we discovered the true nature of the nameless things gnawing the roots of the world under Moria and found out which language Ilúvatar must have been speaking in the beginning (hint: see post title

). Not to forget we all managed to pronounce Ibrin's full name (brag, brag

).
Yep, let's definitely do it again next month!

Aye. Twas a grand time had by all.

I'd like to join in next time.

Username: loslotesnowflower
Role: Either a female or a young person...I have a very high-pitched voice.
Time: The 25th of May should be fine whenever, because I should be done with school by then, but it's a while away so I don't know anything more specific.

Sorry I couldn't respond to your call, since the list included me. I do have Skype now, so that wouldn't be a problem, but I was away at the German Tolkien Seminar and wasn't online to read about this meeting. However, please keep me on the list - I'll try to make it happen next time. Ioreth would have been great fun for me to speak!! Perhaps we could do the Houses of Healing next time? There are lots of roles there.

Aside from that, I'm willing to speak any character necessary or to narrate.

The coronation of Aragorn was one of our choices before we changed to Voice of Saruman, we could plan on that next time. Ioreth has a narrative there.

++Esty for Ioreth

It was indeed wonderful.

The thing I will remember the longest, no doubt, were Pitchwife-Saruman's screams and maniac laughter.

And you should definitely count me in for the next reading unless it conincides with something else I'm doing.
