Famous quotes
“Synchronized work is a spectacle! You have to play the part correctly and when the person on the screen howls up there, you have to put yourself in the mood. You have to make emotions audible through the voice and merge with your role. You have to animate the words and you can only do that if you play them correctly. If you don’t do this, you will immediately hear in the voice that nothing comes across. Then it just sounds boring and boring. ”
