2022.10.30 – 0668 – Getting An Animation Voice That Fits The Visuals
Getting a voice that fits the visuals When auditioning for an animation role you will be sent a ‘vocal reference’, a few lines of the script, as well as a character brief: a description and personality profile of the person or object you are reading for, their role and ‘journey’: “Barnard is a British steam engine. Played by a man in his 40s/50s, Bernard likes routine and safety, is dull, grumpy and easily annoyed. In this episode, other engines want to cut corners, but when he insists that they stick to the rules, he averts disaster and mellows when he is praised for saving the day”.
And crucially you should be sent a picture of the character itself so you can see the physical characteristics from which your voice will come.  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
