A Request For Help For an Audio Project

[Brinniel]

For my audio class this semester I get to do my final project on anything I want, which got me thinking about how awesome the work was from the Would There Ever Be a Possibility...? that everyone was doing. And I would love to do something similar, except for it to be my project I must start from scratch rather than continue where we left off. The recordings will include speaking, sound effects, and music.

While I could so easily just find some actors from my school, I find it far more interesting to use BDers who have more devotion to the subject. Which is why I'd like your help. What I need are people who are willing to lend me their voice or musical talents. The only requirement is that you have a good quality microphone and the responsibility/time to record the audio to send to me by December 1 (after all, it's a school project and I have a deadline).

I have two excerpts in mind, that I haven't decided on yet. Perhaps you guys could give me feedback for which excerpt would work best. Here are the excerpts:

1) From The Silmarillion in the chapter Beren and Luthien:
When Beren is taken to Thingol. Starting from the line, "Who are you [...] that come hither as a thief, and unbidden dare to approach my throne?" And ending with the line, "And if there were hope or fear that Beren should come ever back alive to Menegroth, he should not have looked again upon the light of heaven, though I had sworn it." (three pages)

Voices:
Thingol
Luthien
Beren
Melian
Narrator

2) From The Fellowship of the Ring in the chapter A Long-Expected Party:
Bilbo's speech. (three pages)

Voices:
Bilbo
Hobbit Extras

If anyone likes to write and play music, your contribution would be appreciated. Otherwise I will use songs that already exist.

So if you're interested in helping me out, please post on this thread. Any suggestions are also welcome.
