DIRECTING AUDIO
I believe that microphones hear the truth. In this way, voice acting is much more vulnerable to inauthenticity than visual media- there’s no sets or costumes to help sell the illusion. At every stage of recording we need to get the 'real' take- utterly present and authentic and evocative.
One of the benefits of my approach is that there's a lot of joy in the process- keeping the room energized and positive is a key strategy to bringing the best out of talent, and it creates a feedback loop that makes the next line even easier to capture than the last.
If I could condense my approach: Zero in on the emotional core of the story, infuse the actors’ with confidence and purpose - while pushing them to be their very best, and enjoy the entire process. And that joy isn’t a byproduct of doing good work, it’s a path towards a kind of unpredictable excellence, and it’s essential to what I’ve been able to conjure in the studio with talented actors I’ve been fortunate enough to direct.
