Every animator will eventually, at some point, find him or herself directing voice talent for a film project. Whether it’s a short film, a personal project, or a piece of animation for a client, you will eventually need your characters to speak.

And how do you get a decent performance from an actor? Especially if you’ve never ever done it before.
