Nancy Cartwright, June Foray, and Lucille Bliss may not be well known to most people as other entertainment personalities of film and television, but their voices most certainly are. Each of these talented women are voices for animated characters. Nancy Cartwright is Bart from ‘The Simpsons’; June Foray is Natasha from ‘The Rocky & Bullwinkle Show’; and Lucille Bliss is Smurfette from ‘The Smurfs’. These women, along with a number of other successful men and women who are ‘voice-over’ artists were sources for “Voice-Over Animation”, a 288-page compendium of information co-authored by Jean Ann Wright and M. J. Lallo. Beginning with an introduction to the field of animation voice-over, “Voice-Over For Animation” covers the elements for doing voice-overs including preparational warm-ups and exercises, performance techniques, dialects, and character development. Of special note are the chapters on making an animation demo, finding an agent, marketing your services, and recording for cartoons. Covering everything from doing voice-over work for games, toys, and theme parks, to studio work including dubbing, “Voice-Over For Animation” is a thoroughly user friendly and comprehensive instruction manual. Enhanced with a glossary, an index, and an accompany CD, “Voice-Over For Animation” is strongly recommended reading for anyone contemplating a career doing voice-over work for animated films and television cartoon series.
