I get off on hearing other people's voices. I like voices: they're my favourite things on records.
My voice has many dynamics in it. Like my little body.
When I am in the sound booth, I am trying to convey as much as I can through just my voice.
It's part of an actor's equipment to project a voice.
With voice overs... you're not thinking about the camera. So your voice becomes this thing that you can manipulate. And depending on the character you're doing, it's all concentration on your voice.
One of the things I learned in animation is that you never, ever want to start doing a voice that you can't sustain for four straight hours.
I do have a bit of a gravelly voice; people have told me I've got a good voice for radio.
I think I'm really bad at voice acting.
Many people think voice over artists just read, there's much more to it. Without acting beats, scene study and improving skills, you won't make it.
To me the voice has always been the way to start any character. Once I find that, I'm good to go.
In voiceover, all you have to worry about is your voice and practicing with your voice and then being able to understand what the situation and whatnot is happening. And you have endless amounts of film to perfect the character.
Doing voiceover is so much fun because you can play with the lines as much as you want. You can put a whole bunch of energy into it, jump up and down, whatever you got to do.
I try to keep my voice natural for each character, but the spirit and the cadence and breathing for each character is totally different. It's those things that set each role apart from the others.
