Tolkien More Welcomes

As many of you might remember, there used to be a topic in the Movies section about the Official Site Welcomes. The original page was closed because of renovations being done in this forum. I have decided to open a new one due to a recent discovery I made. If you go to the official site, found <A HREF="http://www.lordoftherings.net" TARGET=_blank>here</A>, you will be greeted by an actor from the LOTR movies. There used to be many on there, but now there are <B>more!!!</B><P>Yes, they have added quite a few new voices to be heard on the site. I thought you might just want to know about them. I have made a list of all the ones I have heard so far. If I miss any, be sure to tell me so I can go listen again. Here's the list starting with the older voices and ending with the newer ones...<P>1. Elijah Wood<BR>2. Sean Astin<BR>3. Dominic Monaghan<BR>4. Billy Boyd---cool voice<BR>5. Viggo Mortenson---Very cool voice<BR>6. Orlando Bloom<BR>7. Ian Holm<BR>8. Christopher Lee<BR>9. Liv Tyler<BR>10. Peter Jackson<BR>11. Andy Serkis<BR>12. Miranda Otto<BR>13. Bernard Hill<BR>14. Karl Urban---very cool australian accent<BR>15. Brad Douriff<P>You should listen to them. They are very interesting if you are bored like me. You can sit and listen to your favorite actors welcome you all day.

I have been known to sit at the computer opening and closing the site for around an hour or so, just listening to the various voices.<P>Yes... Karl Urban has a beautiful voice!

Ive just been doing it for the past 3 hours I couldnt get Karl Urban's voice. I kept trying but I never found it. There were a lot of blanks coming up, ie. no voice at all. Do you know if they've removed any?

Its been working for me, but I can never get Karl Urban's voice either. I get Liv Tylers all the time and its getting so annoying!<P>EDIT: I finally got him! He sounds like my math teacher, LOL <p>[ April 20, 2003: Message edited by: Beruthiel ]

Miranda Otto has the coolest voice but Karl Urban is second, so Astalian. Viggo sounds scary. GO Dom. He has the third coolest voice.

My sister is an Elijah fan, we must have sat in front of my mom's computer for an hour, just waiting to hear HIS voice...lol, we finally heard it though. It did seem like Liv Tyler's voice came up the most.

You've got me doing it too now! <P>I got Viggo several times (what a pity ). Christopher Lee's is really spooky, I like that.<P>And you're right, Karl Urban's is lovely!

Isn't Viggo quite a new one? I never heard it before TTT came out. And I refreshed A LOT.

Liv sounds really weird and high-pitched, and Ian Holm sounds really depressed. I spent like an hour just sitting there listening to everyone...

By the way just so you know Karl Urban can't have an Australian accent since he is a New Zealander and believe me, our accents are very different!!!

To through my two cents in....<P>1) Viggo- natrually, as I am completly Viggo obsessed<BR>2)Billy- HIS ACCENT ROX! Scottish is sooo sexy...<BR>2)Christpher Lee- I just love the way he says that. All majestic and everything<BR>4)Liv Tyler- amusing. I´m sorry but she sounds completly stoned...and like a mutant rabbit <BR>5)Dom- Dom is cool. Dom is very cool. And I love his voice<BR>6)Sean- I love it, he sounds so hobbit-ish!<P>The rest is ok too, but I loved those six!
