Thought you’d like to know
Youre the voice of the hobbit for about 80 middle school kids who I taught this book to this year, thank you for that

[@NowReadThis]

My pleasure! Really appreciate that, and I hope I inspired them, and introduced them to some quality stories

[@cainanneedham9022]

You nailed the song, my friend. It being drenched in reverb is very well-suited to wood elves singing in the Elvenking’s Hall. Sounds great!

[@NowReadThis]

LOL yeah I had to get the massive choir reverb on there for baritone to pass as elf song

[@marieskavo7159]

You have a lovely voice indeed. Full of colours. Thoroughly enjoyed the song as well.

[@NowReadThis]

thank you darling

[@cassieharty2567]

These readings are currently saving my life. I have to finish the book by Wednesday, and I have been binge reading these since I found them. You have a lovely voice, and your voices for the different characters makes it interesting enough for me to follow along with.

[@NowReadThis]

Thanks so much dude! Very glad that you are enjoying my work. I've wanted to record this for a long time and I'm glad I finally got it done. Much love to you

[@spicycurrychicken4247]

Best song yet, and great reading as always

[@NowReadThis]

Ahhhh you melt my heart! Thank you my friend. These songs are truly difficult to get right. Much swearing involved in the recording when I mess up

[@wmnoffaith1]

I absolutely love your narration; and on top of it you have a lovely singing voice, and a sense of humor. With your long hair, and the way you dress, you resemble a modern renaissance man. I have loved this book for 40 years, and I've never heard it read so well. I wish you good fortune in all your endeavors and may God bless you richly.

[@NowReadThis]

Haha, my goodness. You just keep up this flattery and see what happens! I really appreciate your kind words and genuine encouragement. I love my work on here and it makes it all worth it to know that I'm entertaining and offering value to you. I'm not sure how long I'll be able to keep these videos up, but please feel free to screen capture or download them for offline use. If they ever have to be taken down I'll definitely post a video letting you all know where else you can find it :)

I was thinking he'd make a pretty top-notch wizard, if he starts growing his beard out. In a few decades, it could be a very Gandalf aesthetic.

[@itzakpoelzig330]

@@wisdomoftheearlychristians2037 Not really relevant, but your comment made me wonder if Tolkein's elves can grow facial hair?

[@itzakpoelzig330]

Another excellent reading and another wonderful elf-song.

Good job. Loved the song!

Thank you so much dude! It was hard for me to come up with a proper melody for this one but I’m glad you enjoyed:)
