His voice was a caress of an angel wing , swiping gently on your heart .... I miss him as hell ❤️ he is the undying definition of class, elegance and beauty mixed together....
I listen in tears . . for the fictional Lenore, and the very real silken sad voice of Alan Rickman. One of the Greats, Old time, new time, Great Forever . . . And then, one of the Great American Poets, E. A. Poe, he who invented the American Short story, and stories of unspoken horror long before horror movies . . . a Timeless combination. A MUST HEAR often.
Mr. Rickman's acting is subtle and marvelous. I particularly loved him in Sense and Sensibility. I paraphrase: "Give me something to do, or I shall run mad!" He can do hero or villain with equal ease.
MY FAVOURITE PART! I think he said something "Give me an occupation or I shall run mad." But I could be wrong. I will have to watch it again. He was so wonderful! 😢❤
I sit here, stunned and listen, perched upon my cushioned seat, While in my eyes tears do glisten, and more slow my heart doth beat, That music in this man's voice takes my soul to that distant ancient shore. And we shall hear his measured speech, quoth the raven, 'Nevermore.'
There is no one else I would want to listen to read this. Alan Rickman’s voice and Edgar Allan Poes poetry goe together like peanut butter and jelly. A perfect combination.
There's no acting here. It's AI. I imagine his real reading would have more fear, urgency, and heartbreak. Yes, the words sound beautiful, but this poem deserves more and is not a tribute to Alan. It's a cheap copy.
I saw him live in a Japanese modern play years ago...couldn't understand it,but just to see him,hear that voice and be in the front row...sigh!Amazing man
I found this much more enjoyable than any other version read by real people. The rhythm, the consistency, beautiful presentation of subtle emotions made it so lively. And I also like the background music so much. You did a wonderful job composing this.
I'm amazed, soothed, and yet a bit cautious about the generation of beautiful voices that are no longer with us. It will be an interesting journey to see where this leads humanity.
I do feel that we are being hoodwinked though. AI is good in some ways but we are being sold a lie. It’s all so artificial and people are believing it.
No words of mine own could convey the soul of this poem as he spoke it. Never did I understand the emotional longing and emptiness of this poem. And, let me say yay, ‘tis nevermore. . . Some souls you feel deep within and they shall never be gone. . . 🥀 🐦⬛🐺🐕🦋🐈⬛🌿🌲🌱
Basil Rathbone is the king of this poem, but damn does Alan Rickman come close. This reading is so somber and melancholy. Its gray undertones and utter bleakness is captivating.
Because of a fanfic where the MC thought of organizing a theatre club in Hogwarts I get the feeling that Mr. Rickman's gravitas is being paid some tribute there when MC decided to request that he be the drama club's adviser~
Of course allen rickman, Played severas snape and Harry Potter. If you think about the raven written by Edgar, Allan Poe change out the name Lenore for Lily and it pretty much describes. How severus felt about Lily potter, And how the phrase in the poem the lost lenore ,can also be compared to lily being murdered the" lost Lily ." Because in Poe's poem, Lenore was dead. And in harry potter lily was dead. And this poem sounds like something that the character of severas snape's would have in his many volumes of books in his home when he wasn't at hogwarts teaching. I have always pictured severas snape Having this particular poem and his rather large collection of( Lost lor.) Metaphorically speaking to snape's large collection of books.
I can imagine Snape reading this in regreat of telling Voldemort part of the prophecy that lead to Lily's death. Lily Evans Potter is Severus Snape's lost Lenore. Lost her into the arms of his hated enemy James Potter and lost her life from his former master Lord Voldemort.
This is an insult to Alan Rickman. The description says it’s an AI voice. The video uses his speaking voice but none of his performance. I wondered why it was so bland. Shame on the creator for doing this.
The music is a bit of an odd choice. The poem is essentially a man having a mental breakdown, but the music is all upbeat and hopeful. Very strange juxtaposition.
He obviously has a great voice, but I can always tell the difference between someone that has memorized it versus someone that's just reading it. This is a decent version, but he completely misses a lot of the internal rhyme schemes, but most people do. And that's the difference between someone reading it versus actually studying it and memorizing it..
Agree! That's why I don't think it is Alan Rickman doing this. This is Professor Snape reading The Raven. The real Alan Rickman would have known how to READ this properly.
AI sucks. This reading lacks any appropriate emotion. There's no urgency, no fear. It sounds like he's reading a Valentine card. A real human would add what is needed.
Your comment is beyond irrispectful to a really fine artist work. Do everything from Allan Poe has to be read as scary? Seriously???If there's something that really sucks is your pov , beside your ignorance.

Well, he did play the Metatron in Kevin Smith's "Dogma", the Voice of God as he is known. God bless ol' Alan.
Beautifully said. Yes and yes 🙏👼👼👼

For me, it was CBGB.
@@endfinity7924 I missed that one. I will be dialing it up this weekend. Thanks! He can play anything!
@@janetdidonato9963 You will love it, and the music is so good.
@@endfinity7924 Thanks for the tip! So many of the greats are leaving the building, never to be replaced.

He's so perfect for this. RIP, Alan Rickman. 🌹

His voice plucks my heartstrings.
"Why Severus," cried Dumbledore, "I never knew you had it in you!"
This is amazing. If only he could have graced us with a reading of this poem before he departed this world.
He had a voice as smooth as velvet I could listen to him all day.
I think even Poe himself would approve of that reading ❤
By reading, you mean type into AI generator? 😂😂 I’m so gutted this isn’t really him
my favorite poem from one of my favorite British actors of all time = perfection🖤
This is fantastic, I LOVE Rickmans voice 😍 Thanks for uploading
Ok! Pwis yuo 2 hert

Thank you for listening!
That's the best reading of this poem ever!
His acting and his voice were unique!

Professor Severus Snape , reading The Raven before teaching a class.
I saw him live in a Japanese modern play years ago...couldn't understand it,but just to see him,hear that voice and be in the front row...sigh!Amazing man
Stately measured pace through the poem start to end just as it should be.
Such a stunning reading by Mr Rickman. One of the greatest actors of any generation.
He didn't read it. It's fake. It's in the description.
This is artificial intelligence, AI, gracing us with Mr. Rickman's glorious voice. Oh, that he had actually read this himself before we lost him.
His voice is so soothing,i just love listening to it😊
Alan Rickman was wonderful in Sense and Sensibility. His passing was a great loss to movies, theater, and the public.
I found this much more enjoyable than any other version read by real people. The rhythm, the consistency, beautiful presentation of subtle emotions made it so lively. And I also like the background music so much. You did a wonderful job composing this.
Best unintentional ASMR I've ever heard 😮 His voice with Poe's words just draw you in and lull you to another place.

EDGAR AND ALAN YOU BOTH RULE
Thank you so much for this beautiful creation♥
I love you Alan Rickman 💕💕💕 Thank you for making all of this, I miss you angel 💕
Thank you for everything.
Please continue this work for as long as you can.
Always...
I love this reading. It's like if Professor Snape had taught Spooky Literature instead of Potions.
Alans the best
That was wonderful. To hear him again... Please make more of Alan Rickman
9.40 sheer bliss he's magnificent ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Это прочто восхитительно... Даже учитывая то, что я не всё понимаю )) посмотрю попозже потом с субтитрами. Вечная память ❤❤❤ Алану Рикману
Damn, my heart is really fluttering by the sound of his voice.
Wow. I do miss this man. Thankfully we still have this. 😢
Just as the Raven said it all in one word - Nevermore - so said Snape in one word, also - Always!
Obviously!
Alan Rickman was one of my favorite actors.....may he rest in peace 😔🙏🏼
Thank you for this.
Alan Rickman seems like the perfect voice for this one
Damn. Always like the Raven. Edgar Allen Poe was the best. Never heard it better. Alan Rickman. Noone could speak it better. Nevermore.
A much more melancholic romantic reading than some of the spookier ones
Thanks, Alan. I've been studying this poem very closely.
Such an excellent voice.
Gone, never forgotten , Thank you both. Site creator applause, continued blessings.
i just watched this video, i could do it again and again
Alan Rickman and Edgar Allen Poe are a perfect mixture for me. R.I.P Alan Rickman ❤
This was a pleasant surprise! Thank you, Raven's Compendium.
Thx for uploading this. Thanks. Could you pls make it a 1-hour version? 😅
My favourite poem beautifully narrated
WONDERFUL!
Wow. I didn't think I'd ever find a reading which equalled Christopher Lee's reading, but this comes damn close.
I miss my favorite Professor.. Thank you so much ❤
he was cast as the Metatron for a reason...
Alan's voice is pure 100% magic ✨✨✨
Basil Rathbone is the king of this poem, but damn does Alan Rickman come close. This reading is so somber and melancholy. Its gray undertones and utter bleakness is captivating.
every year i listen to Vincent Price read it. This is impressive
Leave a comment on what other voices you want to listen or what you want a particular voice to read.
Thank you!
MORE RICKMAN. Plz 😅😊❤
Will do :)
Sarah Lancashire please....
@@Mumstheturd i second the motion
Alan Rickman reading Annabelle Lee
Exactly
I'm not as big of fan as my nieces but I was proud after I took their test and I was Slytherin house. Snape gave everything for his "elanore"
I had my earphones on when I clicked this, and my poor ears were not ready 😅♨️
Because of a fanfic where the MC thought of organizing a theatre club in Hogwarts I get the feeling that Mr. Rickman's gravitas is being paid some tribute there when MC decided to request that he be the drama club's adviser~
Okay , so Alan Rickman played Snape in Harry Potter , and once i heard this recital , i started crying like 45 secs into the video...
When I listen to this, I picture Snape from Harry Potter having this whole experience missing Lilly instead of Lenore.😢
Would that Poe met Alan at heaven's door and said sing to me the Raven and sing it evermore!
Oh Alan. I would’ve knocked at your chamber door too. ❤ RIP
Of course allen rickman, Played severas snape and Harry Potter. If you think about the raven written by Edgar, Allan Poe change out the name Lenore for Lily and it pretty much describes.

Delicious.
My idea of perfection in complimentary partner,,,,,gorgeous x
Does this exist anywhere without the music???
Please please do more of Rickman reading Edgar Allan Poe!!
I don’t think I liked the music though. Sort of took away from the rhythm of the poem
Rickman's voice was mesmerizing but I found the music too loud and distracting.
PLEASE tell me what audio samples you gave Eleven Labs to come up with this good of a replication.
Alan was a gift from God and then he took our angel away from us why God why
He needed his voice back
Well that’s my insomnia cured then 😂
RIP Severus :c

Lovely, except for the music! Thank you for making this!

Dude.... I know its ai, but damn.

btw, can I request an audio poem? You would nail it with your AI voicing knowledge. "The Land of Heart's Desire" by William Butler Yeats.
This is an insult to Alan Rickman. The description says it’s an AI voice. The video uses his speaking voice but none of his performance. I wondered why it was so bland. Shame on the creator for doing this.
The music is a bit of an odd choice. The poem is essentially a man having a mental breakdown, but the music is all upbeat and hopeful. Very strange juxtaposition.
I hate say it but as a harry potter fan i here snape 😂
🥺
This would be better without the music.
I would love to hear this but instead of background music it’s a fire in the background. 😊
AI?
Is this his real voice or AI?
It’s AI.
Art yuo2/3
Love love thereven larsevensen67.
I don’t think it’s AI. It’s too personal. Too much feeling.
@@Annagramma-u7x You'd be surprised with what AI can do these days. This is AI voicing.
@@Annagramma-u7x it surely is. The author of this piece states it to be so as his creation. You need to go back and read his notes.
He obviously has a great voice, but I can always tell the difference between someone that has memorized it versus someone that's just reading it. This is a decent version, but he completely misses a lot of the internal rhyme schemes, but most people do. And that's the difference between someone reading it versus actually studying it and memorizing it..
Agree! That's why I don't think it is Alan Rickman doing this. This is Professor Snape reading The Raven. The real Alan Rickman would have known how to READ this properly.
FFS! He couldn't hear the gentle tapping because of the intrusive background music! Cut it!
No... Timing is wrong
Nah .. this isn't Alan Rickman, although I love the voice, it's not his soul. This is AI or voice tune.
That piano is distracting
There is no need of a soundtrack. There is no need to impose a mood upon the prose. Poe's talent needs no assistance from the peanut gallwry.
It’s horrendous! The thought of this in silence gives me chills but this version gives me…. Anger! Lol
This was wonderful except for the stupid music
Discovering this was generated AI, l could not listen.
AI sucks. This reading lacks any appropriate emotion. There's no urgency, no fear. It sounds like he's reading a Valentine card. A real human would add what is needed.
Your comment is beyond irrispectful to a really fine artist work. Do everything from Allan Poe has to be read as scary? Seriously???If there's something that really sucks is your pov , beside your ignorance.
