![]() ![]() ![]() In general, I don't much like the tunes either of them use, and neither do justice to the 'high style' elvish songs but Serkis does some of the folkier hobbit songs quite convincingly. Serkis sings with a natural bass-baritone voice, Inglis with a trained, higher baritone. Inglis's is a more integrated reading, and he reads more correctly in terms of getting across the meaning by intonation and correct emphasis - by contrast, Serkis often emphasizes the wrong word in a phrase or description - especially over-doing the adjectives.Īs for the songs or poems - both do these unaccompanied. Serkis takes the reading more slowly, speaks more emphatically, and there is more light and shade - both humour and horror come out more strongly. Surprisingly perhaps, the recent Andy Serkis narrations of The Hobbit unabridged and the Lord of the Rings (plus Appendix A, and the introduction to B) are I believe the only English language versions apart from those by Rob Inglis.īoth are very good, but different enough to be complementary.
