ADR Recording

Recording ADR was a challenge, as may of the chosen voice actors had no prior experience in doing so. Coaching them was the best way to achieve the best voice acting as their type of mood really reflected how it would sound on the playback. This really shows on the first line of this video, where the voice actor was not performing at the best. Choosing the right voice on top of the right voice actor took time as we had to experiment with the type of feel of the voice. Did we want to make an evil character? If so, what type of voice would we need. Beauchamp's book on 'Sound Design for Animation' was a good go to for this, especially with tips on the best way to record ADR.
