If you’re anything like me the world of voice over is
fascinating in its mystery. I know
almost nothing about it but I do know that I love cartoons and one of my dreams
is being a cartoon. On top of that I think
everyone at some point has been told “you should do cartoons because that’s a
really funny voice you do.” That is one
of the most infuriating things to be told because that’s what I would love to
do and if it was that easy I would already be doing it. But thanks to these movies there has been a
tiny light shone on this industry so at least if you’re looking to get in you’re
not just bumping around in the dark.
In my opinion you should watch “I know that voice” first
because it gets you familiar with the business of voice over. This movie brings out some of the (in my
opinion) coolest of the cool in the voice over industry. The only way it could have been cooler is of
Mel Blanc (you know the voice of bugs bunny) himself would have been in it. I
Know That Voice takes you thru the process of recording a voice and shows you
the hidden art of coming up with a voice. I really thought that part was cool
because in real life the voice you have is just the voice you have but when
creating a character you have to take into account the type of person they are
the things that they like to do and their personality (its too cool finding out
how John Dimaggio came up with the voice of Bender from Futurama).
Once you’ve watched this movie you can now comfortably watch
“In A World” because you are no longer in the dark. This movie follows the lead character
struggle in the voice over world as a woman.
The movie takes place in the voice over world but the premise of the
movie indicated by the title is the movie makers want to revive the trailer “In
a world” voice over thing. The usual
guys throw their hats in the ring for it but now there is this woman that has a
shot at it and it infuriates the contenders.
It’s a very interesting view of the voice over world and a very awesome
movie.
