Cyberman bit parts
|
Tell us about the multiple role you have in this story.
I’m playing the Cybermen really. There are a lot of people who get cyber-converted and they play their characters with the funny voice effect, but all the other Cybermen are me. Mainly it’s the Cyber-Controller who speaks in a big butch voice. Then my main other Cyberman is one I call the sore throat Cyberman. Everyone says he sounds like John Geilgud.
Once [your voice] goes through the pitch bending effect, which has two lower pitched voices of different pitches fighting with and harmonising with each other, the 'sore throat thing' sounds quite good. That’s my modest opinion of it anyway.
There are some other minor characters who we’re going to get some other actors to do at other recording sessions for other plays. This is how you save on cast you see, you nick people from other plays, and I may be playing one of those other characters when we record another play next week.
