So I think you'll have to match whatever the "attitude" of Hayden is, especially for this scene. Because when you speak a low , calm voice for a character that is tempered up and is speaking quite loudly, then your gonna have scenes like that. I think your voice is going to work for the character, but you'll have to be mindful of the ADR and matching whatever we're "seeing" from the actor and combining that with how you want to pull it off and the different dialouge.

Thanks for the reality check- this is true, especially for the garage scene. After I watch my first cut (which should be finished this week), I'll definitely have some rerecording to do.

I wanted to sound different from Hayden, which I think I definitely succeeded in, but there are a couple moments, the biggest being the garage scene, where I don't think I'm selling the illusion. What I'm realizing is that the scenes that came out well are the ones where I physically moved my mouth in the same way as the actor onscreen when recording the ADR. I guess I figured it made less of a difference than it actually did.

In any case, whether I get to do a lot of pickups or not, I think it's a lot better than Hayden's whiny alternative. I just want it to be the best it can be.



Its amazing how much you sound like Hayden


Uh-oh! I didn't want to sound like Hayden!



Thanks to everyone for all the feedback.

EDITED to add:

The thing about the garage scene is that anakin was yelling out his dialouge " The women! The children!".........it was a tense scene that I actually enjoyed in the original (other than the bare reaction from padme).

Actually, in SOTDS Anakin doesn't own up to killing the sandpeople, one reason being that Padme does have a really bare reaction to this. After he tells her he just killed a bunch of women/children, she basically kneels down, pats him on the back, and says everyone has their bad days. It's also unrealistic to think that Padme would be attracted to this type of psycho. So that part is cut, and the scene is about Anakin's mother dying and about Obi-Wan holding him back from saving her, and about Anakin wanting more power.
