In the Emperor's New Clothes, they got a different celebrity to do each voice. They drew up a picture of each character and then each actor wrote their own part.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I think that, for so long, there was only one type of actor, and now you see these different colors, different people, different shapes and different sizes. It just makes it more interesting.
With every episodic, there's a learning curve where writers try to find the voice of the characters by way of the actors. Many details are found along the way. On 'Caprica,' although the franchise already existed, we were creating an entirely new world full of new characters.
As an actor, it's amazing to get to create different characters.
When you do an animated movie - at least the ones that I've been a part of - you never see any of the other actors. It's all done separately with headphones in a voice booth.
Some actors come to the set ready to do their parts a certain way.
As an actor, you always want to keep it different, change it up, and, you know, just to keep yourself inspired and work with interesting characters.
I haven't done a lot of voice work, but I know that a lot of shows will just bring in the actors individually, and they will just do what is on the paper. You miss out on that connection of having everyone there.
Sometimes being an actor is being a song in someone else's mixtape, so I really understand why more and more actors are making films of their own.
Actors always start with the voice and language. That's wrong. They should start with the body. The body is an actor's most important resource.
The writer creates the role on the page and then the actor takes it and makes it their own.
