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.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
When you are in a live-action movie, you have so many more options to express yourself. You can use your body and your gestures and facial expressions. When you are doing an animated movie, you really only have your voice.
Doing voices in animated movies has been one of my dreams. You get to go and act, and you don't have to put on makeup.
It's a part of most actors to want to be in an animated feature; to extend the legacy of your career.
When you do a voice in an animated film, you don't see the finished product at all. You're not animating. You're not doing the voice on the finished product. You're doing the voice long before.
Take any movie with an actor you like. Turn your head and just listen to the performance. In some cases, the physical presence remains as strong when you can't see the actor, when it's just the voice.
As an actor, you're listening to the other person and always trying to be present and take everything they're giving you, but when they're not there, you have to produce that yourself.
You have to understand that I'm not just some guy who voices characters in animated movie and TV shows.
When on the set of a film, you have to play natural for entire scenes in a very unnatural environment. You have to express emotions and interact with other actors and also use your voice.
Most of the animated films I watched, the emotions are all prepackaged like canned music, the hand actions, the sighs.
When I do the music, I make the musicians listen to what's happening in the film. That way they treat the dialogue as if it was a singer.
