I only recently found your audio drama rendition, and here's chapter 12 already! They are so incredibly well done. I've only listened the first two chapters yet, but I'll be sure to recommend these to friends! I hope you still enjoy making them, for they are absolutely marvellous.

This is fantassssstic! Barreellll riiiiiiider!

you relay sound like smaug "DO YOUUUU KNOWWW NOWW"

Thank you so much.  These are so so good.  Really brings the book to life. I look forward to the next chapter.  I have played some of these to my middle school Home Room class.

Love it. When will the next chapter be done?

When are we going to hear the next chapter ? I can hardly wait

Your Smaug is honestly incredible. I liked LOTR over the Hobbit before, but now I find myself listening to yours over Phil Dragash's. It's a shame this doesn't have thousands of listens.

Unfortunately the original The Magnificent Seven (1960) soundtrack recordings were in very bad shape, poor quality. The soundtrack was not released at the time until reused and rerecorded for the soundtrack of the second film called Return of the Seven (1966). So I've used soundtrack from Return of the Seven which is in much better shape.

The best of The Magnificent Seven soundtrack by Elmer Bernstein:

00:00 - The Magnificent Seven
02:05 - El Toro
04:15 - Return Of The Seven
06:32 - Petra's Declaration
08:17 - Defeat
09:56 - The Journey
13:25 - Finale

In place of the Apostle's Creed in the beginning is the longer Nicene Creed. The Rosary doesn't officially start until the Pater Noster of the first Glorious Mystery.

There are precisely 15 mysteries of the actual Rosary, and there will always be precisely 15 mysteries of the actual Rosary, no matter what anyone--especially an antipope--says to the contrary. Related, see:

The company has reached Erebor, but their quest is not over yet. Smaug the Magnificent lies guard over their treasure in the halls below. And it does not do to leave a live dragon out of your calculations if you live near him...

Well, here it is. A long time in the making.
When I first saw the trailers for the Desolation of Smaug in 2013, and heard snippets of the Smaug voice, I knew I wanted to be able to "do that". More than almost anything else. It was the fire which started this project and encouraged my wider voice work, and so to finally release this chapter is quite a momentous occasion for me - in a sense it's 4 years in the making!
I've done my best with it, trying to make every second epic or solemn or whatever it needs, applying as much of my experience as I could to make this the best chapter yet, and hopefully one that, as a whole, will stand the test of time.
One of the most challenging aspects was arranging the music early on in the production. For some chapters, like Ch3, Ch7 (and Ch13 actually), large swathes of the music seem to write themselves into the arrangement. But for this chapter, because there was either so much to choose from or nothing I thought was suitable, there was WORK to make the music work throughout! As well as none of it repeating or making an appearance in the last two, or in the next two chapters. But for the final product, I don't think either way necessarily works out better... though this was is definitely harder than usual! Again, particularly because it's been so long in the making, I didn't want to compromise at the very end.

Feel free to ask anything about the chapter and any others! Any feedback, questions, you name it. There is much more to say about this one, and I'll be making posts on my fb page in the coming days. Have a look if you're interested in some background on how this all happens. I love hearing from you, so do drop a message :)

Bluefax is an actor, vocalist and producer, inspired by Peter Jackson's LOTR trilogy and many dramatic and musical influences through childhood. This theatrical audiobook is the result of thousands of hours of work, and was created with the intention to be as well-received in a hundred years as it can be today.

This project was started in the summer of 2014, sparked by the combined inspiration of Phil Dragash's LOTR soundscape audiobooks, Benedict Cumberbatch's performance of Smaug, and a desire to do these stories justice. In 2019, the then-completed series was reshaped, remixed and remastered, with four chapters rerecorded to bring a higher and more consistent standard.

I've given everything to make this project - constructing something which feels like my childhood imagination blended with the musical heart of the film trilogies. I hope it brings you some of that same joy. If it does, do leave a comment and keep me posted - I'd love to hear your story.

Take care,

THE HOBBIT: THEATRICAL AUDIOBOOK

This was a one-man project, doing all the narration, characters, and arranging the beautiful music by Howard Shore and sound effects around Tolkien's classic words. I love these stories, and did everything I could over 5 years to learn how to blend my vision with the spirit of the book and films. Also used for education in a number of institutions. Thank you for all the love so far!
