The Ring in the script is very much a character. It has a force and a presence and an energy. |
|
M.H. |
When I first started playing with Ring sounds with Peter [Jackson] we were going for an actual more physical Ring sound. |
|
E.V.d.R. |
And that turned into the Ring having an actual voice. |
|
D.F. |
It would have different attitudes. To one person it may be a seductress. To another person it may be, I don't know, it may be a lover or something like this. |
|
E.V.d.R. |
That really changed into it being an actor who would remain the consistent voice of the Ring throughout the film. |

Alan Howard recorded voice-overs that Philippa and Fran would write. |
|
M.H. |
He learnt a whole bunch of phrases in black speech and he just went for it. |
