Pooh recording begins
I recorded the first five chapters in Winnie-the-Pooh yesterday over at Mansion Studios. It went well, but later on I listened to it with Johanna, and she gave me some really good feedback.
I need to slow down and allow the words, as she says, “to resonate.” I had been aware of pacing as a potential issue, but I guess I had been dealing with it by pausing between sentances. A bette approach would be to take my time with the sentances themselves.
Also, I need to think about and come to some decisions about the voices. I thought that pitching my voice differently would do the trick, but Johanna pointed out that some characters could speak more slowly or more quickly, or with different inflections. These are great ideas, but now it means that I have to actually consider how to pull it off.
I’ve mentioned this project to a lot of people, and everyone seems really excited by it. In particular, Jason is really pumped up about it, and he’s got lots of great sound-effect ideas. I’m so thrilled by his enthusiasm! I’m starting to feel more ambitious about this whole project.
But I shouldn’t get ahead of myself. Right now I just have to go in and do it, and then I’ll worry about what I’ll do with it later.
