![]() Of course we listen to the original performance for each line in Japanese and use that as a baseline for then recording the line in English. KB: Since voice acting is generally “cold reading” (we’re seeing the script for the first time as we’re actually working), there are a few things I rely on. I just used Hela from “ Thor: Ragnarok” for inspiration! If it’s a character that I have based on other things, I’ll watch scenes from TV or movies to get inspired. JT: If it’s a specific voice, I’ll record a reference for myself. Like Khun for example, I tend to have my hand upturned for most of the performance like I’m making a point. There are also specific body motions or positions I do with certain characters. We’ve all got a backstory that got us to who we are right this moment, and it defines who we are. Once you have that figured out you can just ‘be in the moment’.ĬH: In general, it’s always about learning what makes the character/person tick and what made them who they are. JYB: To get into the headspace of your characters? I first imagine myself as the character, recall the mythos of the characters world and think about where I’ve been and where I’m hoping to go. JA: What do you do, if anything, to get “in character” for your roles? To get into the headspace of your characters? I can’t wait until we can safely return to the studio, but I’m glad we have a way to continue working in the meantime. So there was a learning curve in that regard, but thankfully the studios were able to come up with a system that was surprisingly efficient for recording to picture remotely. Kira Buckland (Yuri Jahad): I was already doing a fair amount of voiceover work from home before the pandemic happened, but dubbing from home was an entirely new challenge because we have to match the video in real-time, and nobody was really set up for that from home. It just makes it that much quieter so you don’t hear my neighbor’s Elton John. I’m using a walk-in closet as my studio now, and I also highly recommend a Portabooth. I highly recommend large diaphragm condenser microphones. I have added more foam panels to the walls of my studio, which you can order online. Jeannie Tirado (Endorsi Jahad): Amazon has been my best friend. It’s a massive undertaking for them and one I’m incredibly grateful for. ![]() ![]() I think the fans should really show a lot of love to the engineers, especially during this time, because they’re not only recording us remotely but then having to mix the show so that we all still sound like we recorded in the same place. There was a huge learning curve at first and it’s nowhere near perfect, but we made it work as best we can. You’ve got this chemistry in person that being on a Skype call just doesn’t give you and it’s really hard. Normally I’d go into the studio with the director and the engineer to record and there’s a certain dynamic to that which I think helps make the show better. It really makes you appreciate the studios and being there. The biggest hurdle is the occasional lag in streaming picture to match lip movements.Ĭhris Hackney (Aguero Khun): It costs a lot of money to get broadcast ready and I’m nowhere near that, which is another reason why I’m so grateful to the engineers who’re basically doing sound sorcery in order to make me sound good. I’ve been fortunate enough to now have my own dedicated home studio with a professional set up. Johnny Yong Bosch (Twenty-fifth Bam): Because of my band I’ve collected pieces of music gear for over 15 yrs. Jane Auman: How has working remotely changed the recording environment? Is it more challenging to get good character interactions going? Keep reading to learn more about how working on Tower of God from home has been along with their overall acting process!
