archnemeton replied to your post: THIS IS A PSA FOR AUDITIONEES

I can’t find Gimizh in this list, but he is also sir-not-appearing in the cast list and… is he cast? Is he not? Dwarflings are very important to meeeee and GIMIZH IN PARTICULAR.

I am sorry, archnemeton – Gimizh is to be voiced by the mighty mod, Ricky, who is working their BUTT off to make this all possible. Likewise, Laerophen is to be voiced by our other mighty mod, HeuristicDevice. 

But all three of the sons of Dwalin are still not cast, and will be available for audition in future rounds!

(also – stay tuned for more Dwarflings in the future *coughBomfriscough*)

Team second breakfast is in the house!

I don’t mean to presume, but I think that Poplitealqueen and I are both pretty much this excited!

(Doodled this with a bottle of water in a cafe this evening and snapped a photo. So obviously not meant to be taken too seriously!)

hi Dets, uh, I know its kinda late but, I can try an audiction for Smeagol? Thank you <3

Hey Nonnie!

The auditions for Smeagol haven’t opened yet! So you’re in luck!

The podfic is being cast in rounds-of-auditions. If the mods cast everyone all at once, it would be NIGHTMARISHLY enormous. They’re already working themselves into a caffeinated frenzy, we need to be nice to them 🙂

I’m not actually the person to talk to about auditions! To do that, you need to check out the sansukhpodfic tumblr FAQ. I’m just an (astonished!!!) bystander, who squeals a lot. 

I am not sure when Smeagol will be cast – he doesn’t turn up for quite a while in the story! – but if you watch the sansukhpodfic site announcements, particularly the ‘sansukh auditions’ tag, you will be kept informed of what to do and when! Good luck with your audition, Nonnie!

THIS IS A PSA FOR AUDITIONEES

DARLINGS.

Because I know disappointment is awful, here is a short list of characters that still have not been cast in the Sansukh Podfic. 

Jeri Child of Beri (excuse, what – JERI THE BEST DWARF)

Bani (YOU GET TO SMOOCH BARIS K)

Narvi (ARE YOU KIDDING ME, NARVI GAAAH NARVI IS LOVE)

Haldir (oh come on, you know you want to get snippy with Gimli)

Galadriel (AAAAAH LADY OF MIGHT)

Wee Thorin (LONGSUFFERING SASSBUCKET)

EOWYN (!!!!!)

Faramir (!!!!!!!)

Thira (are you ready to make the world cry in ch35?)

Bard II (fuck yeah BARD!)

Thranduil (be the elvenking you’ve always known yourself to be!)

Eomer (OH MY GOD, you will get to say ‘I would cut off off your head, dwarf’ etc etc you know you wanna)

Selga (YOU TOO CAN BE SIGRID’S BADASS GRANDDAUGHTER)

Ioreth (gossipy wise-women of Gondor ftw!!! where my character-actors at)

Elrond (GUH)

Arwen (DOUBLE GUH)

Smeagol (PRECCCCCCIOUUUUUSSSSSSSSSSSSS)

Galion (drunken elves ftw!!!)

Elladan & Elrohir (stern grey eyed princes, is this YOU?)

Grima Wormtongue (you have the BEST Brad Dourif impression, lbr here)

Saruman (TO WAAAAAR)

Radagast (*grabby hands* RADAGASSSSSSST)

Celeborn (be Galadriel’s boytoy!)

Dagalur (Orc villainness voices – CUT LOOSE)

Freda (CUTE ROHAN KID, CMON NOW)

Bomfris (are you an awkward slightly-aggressive sausage who talks to ravens? Your time HAS COME)

Annnnnd last, but definitely NOT LEAST:

Lobelia. Sackville. Baggins. (umbrellas at DAWN)

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. 

Even. 

All. 

of the characters still up for grabs. LOOK AT THIS COMPLETE CHARACTER LIST. JUST TAKE A PEEK. HAVE A LOOK. IT GOES ON FOREVER.

*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.

chess-ka:

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.

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!

the-dragongirl:

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
