I'm always in awe of folks who do this without the ability to edit like this is a voice post. Do you practice and practice first, because my goodness, you've done a fabulous job! Sam's little tendernesses with Frodo are beautifully captured in these readings, Lavender.
Thank you so much for the encouraging words. I love those tender exchanges between them so much, and felt honored to have that passage, so I'm very heartened that my reading of them worked well for you. (-:
I try to read it silently days before so I have the flow in the back of my mind, and then aloud once or twice right before I call LJ voice posting to try to get down the different voices as best I can and work out some inflections for the narrative parts. I am very influenced by my memory of the film actors' voicings, though I give Sam a little southern Appalachian, which I suspect may have originated much from the Dorset accent Sean used anyway, and maybe Tolkien wrote to. (I lived in North Carolina for a decade.)
If I get really tripped up on a line when recording or start a sentence in the wrong voice, I stop, erase the recording, and start over again from the beginning.
