This week I have had the pleasure of voicing some characters for the interactive version of a couple of English text books for schools here in Norway. These characters include a young dinosaur: Dino (pictured on the left of the book cover), a vague lizard character, a selection of monsters and a group of hysterical mice! There were one or two human characters too, but animals are always the most fun –and the most challenging too. Using both a very low register (for the monsters) and an extremely high register (for the mice) means that one has to be careful of one's voice, and proper warming up is essential. And -strange though it may seem- one has to imagine oneself being the character just as much with an imaginary or animal character as one does with a human one. Otherwise the freedom of creativity and imagination is wonderfully exhilerating ..for who really knows how a dinosaur would speak!
