Form Voltron My Debut As Shiro
Form Voltron My Debut As Shiro! Let’s just say that last year when I visited Dreamworks I was able to learn a little about Voice Overing (I’m not sure that’s a real word by the way) and thankfully it carried over to this year! This year I felt a little more confident but it might have also been that I had been re-reading the lines like a crazy woman in my head too. (The truth will never really be known, but one thing is for certain, I had fun!) And how many can say they voiced a few lines and have evidence to prove it??
The studio was set up for us and we of course had a few run downs of what we were to do. The dynamic duo of Lauren Montgomery and Joaquim Dos Santos were there for encouraging words of wisdom. They made us feel at home in the recording studio explained to us how and when to start reading the script. The screen on the our right was the actual video of the animation and when it was just the right time you “read” what was highlighted on the script. Now, you would think that just counting and reading would be rather easy. And it was, well sort of but we went with our first take because we were running short on time. My hat goes off to these actors/actresses that can do this job and with character voices and animation.
Even though it was just a few sentences it was a once in a lifetime opportunity that showed me how hard voice over animation really is. Check out the short video below “Form Voltron My Debut As Shiro.”
