Albert and Johnny recently had a discusson about the importance of, among many things, talent direction.  Albert has always been a strong supporter of giving solid character direction for talent.  And he explains…

“It helps the voice actor to better understand what you have on paper, and it helps ensure your commercial ends up the way the heard it in your head as you wrote it. There are exceptions. There are times when you don’t know what you want from a commercial. You have the ideas and sound effects in your head… but you only have words on the paper. This is when you trust the talent to give you what they see and hear when they read the words. It’s important to be able to interpret writing - particularly in these cases. And when the talent really understands how to decipher a script, they give you the performance you never knew was in your writing.  Attached is a classic example. I had the storyline. I just didn’t have sound…until I got the read back.”

Written by Albert, produced by Murdoch, and performed by Peter.. enjoy!

And enjoy another that was written and produced by Michael specifically for Peter to voice…
