Using Quotes for VO (6): One Ring To Rule Them All


“Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky,

Seven for the Dwarf-lords in halls of stone,

Nine for Mortal Men, doomed to die,

One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.

One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,

One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them."


In this recording I don't feel like "Nine for Mortal Men, doomed to die" is said in the right way. But I don't know what it is about it.

I found a video on Youtube where J.R.R. Tolkien is reading One Ring To Rule Them All. Here's the video:

what I like about this interpretation is that Tolkien reads it fast when other people read it fast it doesn't sound good, and the reason it sounds really good when he reads it is because he can say it with power.
