Andy Serkis' Captivating Voice Brings Life to The Silmarillion Audiobook
Updated Sunday, September 1, 2024 at 12:00 AM CDT
Andy Serkis, renowned for his iconic role as Gollum in the Lord of the Rings (LOTR) films, continues to mesmerize fans with his latest endeavor—narrating the unabridged audiobook of J.R.R. Tolkien's The Silmarillion. This impressive recording spans over 19 hours, showcasing Serkis' unmatched talent as a voice actor.
The audiobook begins with a powerful excerpt: "At the first, that ring had been entrusted to Círdan, Lord of the Havens, but he had surrendered it to Mithrandir, for he knew whence he came and whither at last he would return. Take now this ring, he said, for thy labours and thy cares will be heavy, but in all it will support thee and defend thee from weariness. For this is the ring of fire, and herewith, maybe, thou shalt rekindle hearts to the valour of old in a world that grows chill."
Fans are raving about Serkis' performance. One user commented, "G*****n he is an absolute beast of a voice actor," while another remarked, "His audiobook of the LOTR trilogy is worth the money." The admiration for Serkis' vocal prowess is evident, with comments like, "I would listen to him read a phonebook," and "Fantastic voice."
Interestingly, some fans initially misread the credits, thinking they saw "Edited by Christopher Walken," which led to humorous reactions. Serkis' ability to make Gollum's voice credible has also not gone unnoticed, with one fan humorously noting, "I bet he can make Gollum's voice credible too."
For those new to Tolkien's works, there are discussions about whether The Silmarillion should be read first. One user asked, "So, should The Silmarillion be read first? Looking for pros and cons, frenns. I've read none, yet."
The Silmarillion audiobook by Andy Serkis is a testament to his extraordinary talent and dedication to bringing Tolkien's world to life. As one fan aptly put it, "Shut up and take my money!" Whether you are a longtime Tolkien enthusiast or a newcomer, Serkis' narration promises an unforgettable journey through Middle-earth.
