Interview with Steve Prince (part 2)

Mon, 16 Jan 2012 10:39:24 -0500

QUESTION 1: How do become different characters, eg when you have to voice someone who’s either angry, very evil, upset, etc, (mostly scenes that are hard to do) what’s your way of doing that? Do you really have to act, even though only your voice is recorded?

ANSWER: As for whether I have to really act, I’d be in trouble if I didn’t. When you’re in front of the camera, you can use facial expressions and body movements to help the audience know how you feel. When you’re doing voice overs, the ONLY thing you have is your voice. If you can’t convince the audience of the joy, turmoil, confusion, love, pain, anger, etc and whether those emotions run deep or if they’re just temporary, if while you’re doing it you’re outside and it’s cold, or whether you just got finished running and are catching your breath, then you shouldn’t be doing voice overs. You have to convey all of that and more if you’re going to be believable. Add to that when you do anime, you’re not creating a voice from scratch and have to match the mouth flaps that have already been drawn, and you have to have one very technically expert voice over actor. Sometimes when you’re meant to do this, (dare I even suggest born to do it), a sixth sense occurs where you know the character so well, that you don’t even preview what the character says, just let the tape roll, and are able to nail it so that what you recorded matches exactly what the mouth flaps are. That’s one reason why a lot of directors like using me: I can’t always nail it without watching, but a lot of the time I’ll just do it the first take, with all the emotions and humanity that a character needs to make him/it believable.

One psycho thing about the way I work is that I try to think like the character. If I try and get into his skin, these emotions I normally wouldn’t think of by rationalizing it as an actor, come to the forefront.

QUESTION 2: Is it true that you go into this room with a huge mic and everyone watches through the windows?

ANSWER: Yes, it’s true that people watch you through a window. 9 times out of 10, only the director and engineer will be on the other side. Occasionally, the producer or some guest visitors will be there as well.

The microphone really isn’t that big.

This is so funny!

Interview with Steve Prince (part 1)

Sun, 15 Jan 2012 23:27:00 -0500

QUESTION 1: How does it feel to play a game you voiced? Do you ever get surprised in what happens in the story?

ANSWER: I am not usually surprised by what happens to the character, because when I go in to record it, I ask for all the information I can about the storyline and character’s arc. That way, I know how to best voice the character and make his voice emotionally progress through the game. Perfect example is Oswald from Odin Sphere..

QUESTION 2: Do you usually read out the lines or memorise them?

ANSWER: If you’re talking about a game, then I read out loud. There is no need for me to memorize because I do not have a picture to look at to try and match what I’m saying to the mouth movement. If it’s a show, then I do a temporary memorization of the lines, unless they are off screen where you don’t see the character’s mouth. Then I’ll read out loud.

QUESTION 3: If you were to meet one of your own characters, who do you think you would get along with best and why?

ANSWER: Wow. Great question! That’s a hard one too. I don’t think I’d get along with Uryu or Shino because they’re too closed off to strangers. So, I have to think back on characters that are people people, who will say hi even if they have never met the person. Well, in that case I’d have to do a toss up between either Keitaro from Love Hina or Arashi from Paradise Kiss. Those guys are just likeable guys. I might get along a little better with Keitaro, but I’m not so sure that I’d be able to stand him for very long due to his dorkiness. So actually Arashi might be a better choice, cause then I could actually carry on a conversation with the dude. And who wouldn’t want to hang out with a rock star that sews for a living?
