This week Morgan Freeman (up-and-coming actor) is our vibrantly virtuous Voice Match subject!
WHY DOES MY BRAIN HURT?
Well, it's because you're behind the scenes, in the dark underbelly of the post-production world,...where not all is as it seems!
You see, it may seem obvious, but for the avoidance of doubt, the voice you are hearing when MORGAN FREEMAN (playing the character 'Red' in Shawshank Redemption) is shown in this video, is NOT the original actor's voice - it is a re-dubbed 'vocal match' - albeit this scene of the movie is an internal monologue. It is a behind the scenes example of 'Voice Matching', an industry skill in the world of post-production. Keep reading to understand more.
WHAT IS GOING ON?
Firstly, you are definitely hearing voice actor Colin Cassidy's voice, BUT you are seeing the original actor, it CAN be confusing, but WHY? Well, it's to demonstrate the skill of voice-matching.
WHAT IS VOICE MATCHING?
Voice-matching is a rare specialised skill in the world of post-production. It's often needed when the original movie audio is unusable due to noise on set, errors in scripting, a different vocal emphasis is needed, additional dialogue is added once filming has been completed or the original actor is unavailable to re-dub the audio.
THE ARTIST
Colin Cassidy is a US, UK and Australian accented voice actor and impressionist. He has a series of similar voice-match examples on his website and social channels, each one involves removing the vocal performance of the original actor and then re-dubbing it - perfectly matching the original vocal tone, performance and even the lip-flap (mouth movement) - demonstrating and showcasing his skill and love for his craft.
