Zitat des Tages über Voice-over / Voice-Over:
I just want to get into the action. And voice-over work is all action.
Whenever you do an animated project or a voice-over project it's inevitable that part of your personality comes into play.
Although there was a screenplay, the actors never knew what questions I was going to ask them, and all of my character's voice-over narration and scenes were added after the fact.
Really, voice-over is great. If it paid as much as on camera work, it's all I'd ever do.
And in a world without heroes, as the movie trailer voice-over guy might say, the slightly awkward can be slightly cool.
The beauty of voice-over work is that maybe you come in and record once every two weeks for a couple of hours and do a couple episodes a session. It's awesome! You spend an afternoon playing in the booth, and there you have it. It doesn't interfere with much.
I love doing voice-over. It's one of my favorite things.
Doing voice-over work is something that I love to do, and it is a lot of fun at the same time.
My first proper credit was a small voice-over on an episode of 'The Sopranos' when I was, like, 11 or 12.
I don't like the term 'voice-over.'
The cool thing about doing a voice-over into a different language is that you get to bring the character of your own culture into it.
One of the things that I'm realizing is that in voice-over work, you have to actually do more work with your facial muscles and your mouth. You have to kind of exaggerate your pronunciation a little bit more, whereas with live action, you can get away with mumbling sometimes.
When I was growing up, I was so fascinated by Mel Blanc and all of the different voices that he did for 'Looney Tunes' and watching Robin Williams record voice-over for the genie in 'Aladdin.' It always seemed to be a major honor - something you have to earn. Like people trust you when they want to have you there without seeing you.
Definitely in voice-over, you have to be completely uninhibited. More than that, you have to put yourself back into the enjoyment of pretending.
I was always talking in weird voices from the time I was two. I guess I just found a way to keep doing it! I did get a degree in theater and took some voice-over classes... but most of it is just the same stuff I was doing as a kid!
I had never really done voice-over. If you've ever seen me, I'm more the communicator through body language and movement... I'm a physical actor.
I find there is room in music to talk with music. It may expand ways people can participate with music. It doesn't sound hokey or like some kind of voice-over.
'Writing' is the wrong way to describe what happens to words in a movie. First, you put down words. Then you rehearse them with actors. Then you shoot the words. Then you edit them. You cut a lot of them, you fudge them, you make up new ones in voice-over. Then you cut it and throw it all away.
I did get a degree in theater and took some voice-over classes.
I know now that I want to do more voice-over projects. They really have the ability to transport you into the world of whatever movie it is you are working on.
I was going to be the next big voice-over thing, of course, in my mind. I didn't.
I probably became an actor because of my vivid imagination, and doing voice-over really sort of takes me back to that.
I try to go out for everything. I go out for any acting stuff that comes up, and voice-over stuff.
I like voice-over in films, and most of my films have been voice-over films.
Live-action has always been my focus and my passion. I love voice-over, and I definitely could see myself doing some voice-over, as much as I could, and even if I ended up doing only that for the rest of my life, and I could be successful at it, that would be great. But I think my real dream is to do films and live-action films.
I remember seeing 'Aladdin' when I was five or six and loving it. I looked at the big screen and said to my mum, 'Whatever this Genie guy does, I want to do.' Mum said I couldn't be a genie, but that Robin Williams, who did the voice-over in the film, was an actor. So I said, 'OK, then, I want to be an actor.'
