“The statement of ideas in a poem may have to do with logic. More profoundly, it may be identified with the emotional progression of the poem, in terms of the music and images, so that the poem is alive throughout.

“But when you are doing an animated voice, it has to have more energy than usual or it falls flat and doesn't work. For myself, I found that I had to put myself in the same physical or emotional state as Sid, in order to make that voice sound alive and authentic.

That's important because the audience can tell intuitively if it does not sound real.” IfsDoeImportantRealStatesWould BeRunningOrderFallFoundEnergySoundVoiceAudienceAliveEmotionalSceneBreathsFlatsUsualAnimatedSids Author:John Leguizamo
