As the mods of sansukhpodfic keep saying, they love your voices. They LOVE them. To not be cast in this round? Doesn’t mean this is a personal indictment of your voice. This is not a rejection of your voice. It means that there was someone who they felt fit THAT ROLE. There are more roles. There are SO many more roles! Your voice? Is perfect for one of those. Believe me, and believe in yourself. This is only the second round.
You are awesome, and your voice is awesome.
Look at that list up there, k? It is LOOOOOONG. And it isn’t.
*hugs* It’s okay to be disappointed. It’s understandable. Your character is still out there, waiting for you to bring them to life. Your voice is beautiful and valuable, and so are you.
So I can’t do a recorded intro for the Sansukh podfic because I recently moved and my microphone is packed somewhere that probably seemed sensible at the time.
Anyway, hi everyone! I’m Chess and I’m playing one of those drunken sods who spends their days in Nori’s tavern.
I have named said drunken sod Bernard. Nice to meet you all! 😀
So hi guys! This is my intro for Thorin Stonehelm for the Sansûkh
podfic (though definitely not my Stonehelm voice ;p). Sorry for
whispering a bit, everybody’s asleep xD Really happy to get to meet
everybody and get started on this amazing thing!
AVIIIIIIII !!!!
I am thrilled beyond words that you are to be our lovely awkwardest of butterknives! and omfg, you are too kind ahhh thank you so SO much. *hugs*
Well, I can finally say it, I got cast as Aragorn in the sansukhpodfic of determamfidd‘s amazing story! I feel like I should be giving an acceptance speech I am so happy. I really hadn’t expected to make it and I feel on top of the world. Drinks to celebrate?
KEN!!!
It is just so wonderful to have you on board! O mighty King of Arnor and Gondor, he of many many (many MANY MAAAAANY NAMES), welcome!
Okay, so in case anyone was wondering whether I can do the Crystaltongue part of the role of Barís (you probably weren’t, but I feel like posting this anyway), here is a recording of the first half of one of my older solos: O Splendidissima Gemma, by Hildegard von Bingen.
This doesn’t really show off most of my range (I do technically have Barís’s canonical range of F3 to F6), but my microphone has been saturating at anything C6 or higher even on the lowest gain – incidentally, if anyone knows how to fix that, do let me know. And anyway, this solo feels rather appropriate as a sample for a singing dwarrowdam, because the last time I performed it in public was in the caves of Waitomo, when I was living in New Zealand.
DOUBLE FLIP-OUT I NEED A MOMENT
BARIS CRYSTALTONGUE OMFG WOWZAS
F3-F6 twins high five asjdhfaljshdgfjashfda it is so WONDERFUL to hear you! I am so thrilled to have you aboard, Baris Alrisul! You are truly a master-performer, how crystal-clear is that tone, omg!
(and hildigard von bingen, good golly i am fangirling so hard rn, yesssssss all the medieval composer nuns, yes please SO BEAUTIFUL)
So this is me! Not the best audio quality, as I just recorded it quickly at my desk, but hopefully it’s good enough. I am just beyond excited to be playing Merry in the Sansûkh podfic. It’s such an honour and I can’t stop grinning.
I can’t wait to get to know everyone properly and get to work on bringing this amazing story to life.
Welcome, O Meriadoc the Magnificent, Esquire of Rohan and Master of Buckland, may the hair on your feet never fall out!
Aw Yiss
