0675 – Using Props To Get Into A Character Properly

2022.11.06 – 0675 – Using Props To Get Into A Character Properly

Using props

As well as holding yourself in a certain way to get into your character’s voice, some voice actors also hold an appropriate prop. Your voice may sound more authentic if, when playing an elderly person, you not only stoop but also hold a walking stick. A better ‘bossy voice’ may come from you standing on a box in the studio, the more dominant position making you sound more authoritative. Wearing a certain hat or coat may help you get into the part, even if recording as an animal or inanimate object.
