hi my name is Shannon chenin and this is
0:04
Interview how do you expand your range
0:06
as a voice actor how do I expand my
0:09
range well I am a singer uh soprano
0:12
colatura that's my voice type so my
0:15
voice is naturally High I don't do I
0:17
don't have an a very low range but I
0:20
feel like if you just keep your muscles
0:21
warm and you keep practicing then you
0:24
can expand your range do you study
0:26
accents or voice qualities I do study
0:28
accents I don't study them all the time
0:31
mostly when I am if they call for an
0:34
English accent or a French accent or a
0:36
Russian accent or an Irish accent for an
0:38
audition I will be um be practicing that
0:41
what's your routine for taking care of
0:43
your voice especially doing demanding
0:46
projects um I steam my voice um I do lip
0:52
trills and make sure that my voice is
0:55
continuously warm and flexible um I also
0:59
have lots of lots of throat drops and
1:02
I'm on vocal rest when I'm not I mean I
1:04
like to talk a lot but I'm on vocal rest
1:06
if I'm doing a lot of singing especially
1:09
when signing autographs what quote are
1:11
you asked for the most oh gosh my
1:12
favorite quote from Nisa
1:15
is if I see you with another girl I'll
1:18
kill her I get asked that all the time
1:21
and I write that in on a lot of people's
1:23
autographs though that's great what's
1:25
the most surpr what's the most
1:27
surprising Direction a director has ever
1:29
given you during a report morning
1:31
session I don't know if I can think of
1:33
anything super surprising but what I
1:36
really love is when a director gives you
1:39
full range to do whatever you want um
1:42
obviously within the scope of your
1:44
character but when when there are no
1:47
limitations to how creative you can be
1:49
with the line love that and I also love
1:52
direction from a director if I'm doing
1:56
um that I I don't know I I also love
1:59
taking Direction I don't take offense by
2:01
a line read and I don't take offense by
2:03
Direction so do you use hook lines to
2:06
get into character at the start of your
2:07
sessions or methods to make sure you
2:09
maintain consistency actually we do
2:11
something when we during the audition
2:13
process we have our audition and then
2:15
whoever's casting us um will have our
2:19
audition and if I feel usually before we
2:22
start a session they'll play back a
2:23
little bit of our our audition um in our
2:27
headphones so that we remember what
2:28
voice we did and anytime that I feel
2:30
like I'm going off character I'll ask
2:32
