“What's always got me is the fact that when people talked on the telly about Iraq, before Afghanistan kicked off, you'd get only these public-school-type army officers talking about what was going on out there. I kept thinking, 'Why don't we get the true voice of the squaddie? Why don't we hear from the lads on the battlefield?'” PeopleThinkingFactsSchoolVoiceTalkingTypeArmyIraqOfficersAfghanistanPublic SchoolBattlefieldsLadArmy Officers Author:Ross Kemp

“With the adult ones, I feel I need to get as deep inside the psychology of a character as I can, and that needs to be first-person. In the children's books, I feel I need some distance.

I need to have some type of narrative voice.” WantNeedsFeelsYearsFirstsChildrenPersonsI CanBookCharacterStoriesVoicePsychologyTypeAdultsDistanceNineNarrativeFirst PersonDeep InsideNine YearsChildren's BooksNarrative Voice Author:John Boyne
“All those "getting hit/losing rings" sounds tend to be recorded toward the end of a recording session. Depending on the type of game, those efforts and screams can be pretty rough on the voice, so they usually like to record them at the end. You might do hundreds of versions of vocal sounds for a game and you can come out a little hoarse afterward.” LittlesEndsMightGamesSoundVoiceEffortRecordsTypeLosingRingsVersionsRoughScreamSessionVocal Author:Roger Craig Smith
“It used to be trained professionals doing animation and they were great. Now they have celebrities and famous actors doing the voices, but that does not always work. But I think this film turned out really well, partly because the three of us (me, Ray and Denis) are comedians who are used to doing solo acts and doing certain types of voices. The three of us are New York guys, we all came up the same way in the profession and we are all edgy and enjoy doing family movies. It was a good combination I think.” ThinkingWayWellsDoeFilmUsedGuyCertainThreeActorsEnjoyVoiceNew YorkTypeProfessionUsed To BeCombinationComedianRaysSoloAnimationEdgyFamous Actor Author:John Leguizamo
“I got a phone call from George Miller [the director] asking me to play this role. We sat down and he showed me on his computer a documentary-type montage sequence of real penguins swimming, in an Esther Williams synchronized sort of way, and doing things I have never seen them do. Then he explained his vision of the film, asked me to read the script and to voice the character.

“There are advances in technology and enabling voices, but there are issues with the stories themselves. I think people of color are still not seen as human beings.
