Animatic
 Can you imagine an animation without sound and
voices?
 It is an art of providing voices for:
 animated characters (TV series, films,

games, etc.)
 voice over in TV or radio commercials

 dubbed foreign language film or animation

 etc.

 For this class, we will focus on voice acting in


animation.
 Individual who provides his/her voice for a cartoon
character(s) is called voice actor/actress or artists.
 In Japan, this person is known as Seiyū. Voice acting is
one of the popular job there.
 Sometime this job involves
singing, although a second
voice actor is sometimes
cast the character’s singing
voice (e.g. Anna in Frozen
(Bahasa Melayu version))

Voice Singing
 Some of them can do a wide range of character voices
and have years of acting experiences.
 Here are some examples of popular voice actors/
actress (international):
 To be a good voice actor, you need to have these
following criteria:
 Decent speaking voice
 Imagination
 Passion & positive attitude
 A good ear & ability to mimic sound
 Good acting skills, and take direction
 Excellent reading skills
 Ability to recall many characters instantly
 A sense of humour and play
 There are 3 critical elements of a
character voice:
 Pitch (Higher or lower than your own)
 Pitch character (Breathy? Husky?)
 Tempo (Faster or slower than your own)

 Thus, you need to train yourself:


 How to warm up your voice
 How to breathe properly
 Proper posture for voicing
 Intonation, phrasing, elasticity & versatility
 Let’s do the breath control and flexibility exercise:

Villain: You must be the Princess.


Princess: Oh no, who are you?!
Villain: I am King of Bandit, The Garos!!
Princess: Help me!!! Somebody please help me!!
Hero: Stay away from her, you freak!!
Villain: Ehhh… who the hell are you?!
Princess: Oh my herooo..

Villain: Use lowest pitch; Princess: Use highest pitch; Hero: Use your voice
