Voice over

Happy New Year to you all!
Virginie has just been booked for a voice over ( film) next week in London.

Q: What do you like about voice over work?

Virginie: There is a great variety of work in voice overs, whether it is for a commercial or an animation or a narrative on a documentary. The clients usually have a pretty good idea of what they are looking for but can be quite open for actors to play with their range and have fun with it.Time flies in the booth behind the mic.

Q: Which voice over artist do you like the most or have recently enjoyed the work of?

Virginie:I think Steve Buscemi as Randall (in Monsters, Inc.) did a brilliant job, so did Edward Asner as Carl Frederickson (in Up). It is very hard to cast voices and

Q: How would you describe your voice?

Virginie: Well I have had to ask other people that question, as it is always very hard to define your own voice.
It is officially described by my agent on Spotlight as being "direct" and "melodious"...
But also my accent is a mix of British/French/American twang, I can either emphasize one or another, which is fantastic as it broadens the opportunities for Europe and the USA.

Q: What character in animation would you want to have been the voice of?

Virginie: I don't recall any characters which I thought was not well cast...and I don't think the character I would like to lend my voice to has been brought to screen yet...so, to all animators out there, give me a shout when you create it...I would love to collaborate on a Pixar production also

10 top films

Q: Please list 10 top favourite films

Virginie: well in no particular order, and considering I have more than 10 favourite films obviously, here is a very narrow breakdown:

Eye of the Beholder...Stephan Elliott

Q: Which directors would you like to work with?

Virginie:

There are many to list, so randomly I will start with Stephan Elliott.

Not only because I like his writing skills but also I was inspired by his journey. And the catalyst to many of his recent great works is "Eye of the Beholder", a project qualified by critics as "a failure"...that is actually what attracted me to his work. I really think that without this film, we wouldn't have had "Easy Virtue". 

I know he has few projects in the pipeline, and I definitely would like to hear more about it sooner than later.

Vincent Cassel is Mesrine

Q: With whom would you most like to work as an actress?
Virginie:  I saw Mesrine Public Ennemy and Killer Instinct when it came out in London and what really hit me at the time was Vincent Cassel ' ability to inhabit characters without being judgmental and therefore conveying a real sense of make believe.

It highlighted to me yet again that as an actor, it is essential in the approach to play a character being fictional or not, to not judge the actions, that each and every person's actions has a motive and reasons to be "acted"upon. It is not our place as actors to be judgmental but it is our role to reveal the life, therefore actions of a character.

Vincent Cassel is an actor who can truly inhabit characters, therefore he must have a strong in-depth knowledge of his own psyche and life pattern to start with. His game is very specific, detailed which makes it all the most enticing to watch but also enticing to play with I imagine.

I look forward to working with him.
