Interviews: The Cast of ‘Tangled’ Gets Unraveled
Interview des acteurs ayant prêté leurs voix à TANGLED, dont évidemment Zac :
| Zachary Levi on the difference between being brought onto an animated film as opposed to live-action Well, when my manager told me they were casting for a new Disney animated film, being a huge Dis-nerd, I was like, “Yes, please…whatever you can do, please get me into that.” I didn’t really think I had a chance, honestly. I mean, a lot of animated films these days have big A-list actors attached to them, so I didn’t expect to get the part. I came in, did my best, prepared a song — James Taylor’s Sweet Baby James, and they seemed to like that. They gave me the music for Tangled and had me sing that — and a couple of days later they called and let me know I had the job. It was totally surreal. It’s dream-come-true stuff. The process is very interesting. I think Mandy [Moore, who plays Rapunzel] and I thought we’d be in this big recording booth together saying our lines, but we only saw each other once for a bit when we did that short duet. Otherwise, I didn’t work with her once. I did all of my dialogue by myself, she did all of hers alone — as far as I know, Mandy and Donna have still yet to meet, which I think is sort of fascinating. It all took the better part of a year, and we recorded dialogue months apart. Levi on how it feels not being able to physically and visually play off of another actor It’s totally weird, but the silver lining is you can sort of let go, act a fool — and you really want to sort of animate yourself in a way, because you sort of have to animate your voice. You don’t have to worry about what other people say or how they look at you, because you’re just animating the character in a booth, with your voice. Levi on voice acting In some ways it was definitely learning as you go, but my whole life I grew up on cartoons — I feel like I have a real understanding of them, and how the voice acting would work. I think I have a good grasp of it, but the directors are there — and they make sure you sort of go where you need to go tonally. Levi on being a singer and his future as a musical artist I sang a duet with Katherine McPhee about a year ago, and I recorded the song for Tangled before that. I’ve done musical theater, I’ve sung my whole life. Getting to do it and getting to record it professionally is something really interesting. If the opportunity presented itself, I’d love to do my own album, or project. I feel like people are really hesitant to accept actors as singers, as opposed to the other way around with singers transitioning to acting — but I hope that’s changing. I have a lot of fans on Twitter asking when I’ll have something come out on an album. I don’t know how that will look, or what it will be, but I’m definitely interested. |
