Once director Bird came onboard, Romano noticed one big change. My character was expanded, the role, and I think that was out of the necessity of figuring out how Remy would actually be able to get into the kitchen and cook, revealed Romano. I think what s great about Brad is he ll take time to explore an idea and really make the idea work of how he would be puppeted in a believable way so that there s some credibility to that idea in the first place.
And he really took the time to flesh it out and in doing so, really fleshed out their relationship, too. The Actual Process of Doing Voice Work: Doing voice recording is interesting because when you re working, you re working in isolation. I mean with the exception of Brad who was in the recording studio with me.
But it s a little bit abstract and it s all getting done in chunks. If you can see the film or have a clear picture in your mind in terms of the context of whatever you re doing, it s very helpful. But I would go in there and sometimes it would be five minutes of recording a piece of dialogue.
Sometimes it would be an hour, you know, of a big chunk of dialogue. Romano never had the chance to work in the booth with any of the other voice actors. That s rarely done although I know for Brad [Bird] did get Craig T Nelson and Samuel Jackson together, although they were in separate booths.
The scene s great because they had a real dialogue with each other. For this, I was really isolated. But Brad is great because he gives you the context with which to work in and is kind of a fellow performer.
