Musings of the Stars

Thanks for reading my blog!

I'm so excited about the current project I'm working on – I'm absolutely loving it! Voicing the rich and complex animal characters in this book is such a fun ride. It's challenging, but incredibly rewarding, to come up with nuanced and distinct voices for each creature, especially the young turtle, and it's really stretching my abilities as a voice actor.

The author, Florian Hirte, has created such a vibrant and diverse cast of animal characters, each with their own unique personalities, quirks, and backstories. It's my job to bring these characters to life through my voice, and that requires a lot of creativity and attention to detail.

For example, one of the main characters is a wise old owl with a deep, resonant voice and a calm, deliberate way of speaking. Then there's a mischievous monkey who's all energy and high-pitched chatter. And of course, there's the young turtle, who's just starting to find her voice and navigate the world. She has moments of timidity and bravery, and I'm having a blast capturing that vulnerability and growing confidence.

Coming up with a unique voice for each of these animals is only part of the challenge. I also have to convey their emotions, motivations, and relationships through my vocal performance. That means using everything in my voice acting toolkit – pitch, tone, pace, rhythm, accent, and even the slightest inflection – to create a believable and engaging listening experience.

I'm learning so much from this project, even in these early chapters. It's forcing me to experiment with new vocal techniques, to dig deeper into character analysis, and to collaborate closely with the director to ensure we're all on the same page.

It's a true joy to be a part of this creative process.

Here's a little sample for you to enjoy! :)
