To alla you auditioning for round two: GOOD LUCK

If you are thinking of doing it but aren’t sure: DO THE THING

I’ve had dysphoria about my voice for years and never wanted to do anything to do with it. But I’ve always loved RP and reading characters, so I really wanted to do this! And I did!

So here are some of my tips ok cool:

1) record multiple recordings. I did a few (like 20…) takes for Thorin and sent off my best one – I tried a few different emotions, ways of pausing and chose things that worked.

2) decide who you really want to play. If you record for everyone because #yolo but then u cast as a character and are actually like #nolo then that’s awkward for everyone.

3) you don’t need a good mic yet. I recorded Thorin on my iPhone 5.

4) don’t be scared if you have a voice you think won’t fit. The best thing about this is that there are a load of different accents and genders of people taking part. So where you’re from or the pitch of your voice doesn’t have anything to do with this. It’s about how you read the scene and the emotion u bring.

5) if you haven’t read Sansukh, at least read the goddamn chapter you’re in. (I nearly didn’t because I hadn’t started reading Sansukh, but the chapter helped me with my emotions in that scene)

WHEN YR CAST:

5) get into the headspace of the character. It helped me as I was Thorin to spend a few days totally getting into character after I was cast. I thought more about his story and journey, read things about him, practised some of his other lines, and listened to music that reminded me of him. As Mr T is pretty deep, it helped me to stay connected to him.

Uh so yeah this is all I can think of on this train journey so. COOL

Love from Thorin

Prepare to be boarded

*Thorin looks into the camera*

How much of these sex jokes do I have to take before I fuck back off the afterlife permanently I stg

Aw, Thorin m’love. It’s simply too amusing to watch all you rather prudish Dwarves go scarlet when the Elf does something… elvish. (Besides, Legolas is very curious!)

Aaaaand like you’re going to be any less cheesy with bilbo what who said that
