Mark me
October 1
Sat in the sound booth this afternoon recording a few of my speeches and the Ghost lines. (I'm also playing Hamlet's dad. Keeping it in the family, as it were.) Flying blind (or deaf, I guess). No headphones in the booth, so we just went with it.
I've got complete trust in Andrew Connerley's sound work, so I know I am in extremely capable hands. The Ghost's lines are great. I've always heard that Shakespeare himself acted the part of the Ghost, and he certainly wrote himself some powerful ones. You can almost smell the sulf'rous air swirling around you. Talk about a ghost story. Not completely sure what we are going to do with the soliloquy recordings just yet, but it was fun. I've wanted to be a cartoon voice actor for a while now, and sitting in the booth with a microphone to my mouth and a script in my hand whispering, growling, and hissing, I think I got a pretty good idea how much fun voice over acting would be. And you wouldn't have to shave for the shoot. Or shower. Well, maybe.
Worked the fights last night and got pummeled with balls of yarn every time I got offline or my feet moved when they shouldn't have. Gina is an absolute kick-ass fight director with unlimited amounts of energy that is so infectious that I didn't mind her playfully, yet sternly chastising me for my mistakes. "Don't kill the midget standing next to Laertes!" Yeah, you know what I mean. We've got some work to do, but the fights that we have lined up are going to be so entertaining, it won't be too much of a pain. Except in the muscles of my inner thighs.
Don't forget, October 4th is off book day.
