| 11. Can you tell us briefly what each of your books is about? I am sure many Starcraft fans in America, Asia, Africa and Europe may want to read your books.(or is there a webpage with excerpts of each book? That could help.) GT: The Knights of de Ware trilogy follows the romantic adventures of three brothers in the 14th century. Here are brief summaries: [“MY CHAMPION”: Noble Duncan, champion of the common man, is amazed when a maiden in distress dares to refuse his rescue, but his determination to save her draws them both deeper into danger…and each other’s arms. “MY WARRIOR”: Fearless Holden is sent to seize a Scots castle for the King—an easy conquest, he assumes, until he discovers that the fierce warrior defending it is a woman. “MY HERO”: Unlike his battling brothers, Garth seeks refuge from his passions in a monastery, until a spirited woman from his past heals his broken heart, challenging his vows of silence…and celibacy.] There are excerpts of my novels on my website at http://www.glynniscampbell.com. 12. What projects have you worked on in the last 12 months as writer and as voice actress? Which projects do you have confirmed or pending to work as writer and voice actress for the next 24 months?—(makes an innocent smile) GT: Upcoming voiceover work? (Not fooled for a moment by that innocent smile) Like I say to everyone—I could tell you, but then I’d have to kill you. As for writing, I’m constantly doing that, but it’s up to the publisher when the books are bought and put on the shelves. 13. Your representation as voice actress of Kerrigan was very convincing and made the fans enjoy the storyline. And from that tapestry of your talent, many wanted to follow on your steps as voice actors. You are their model in their dreams to be Voice actors as a career. Would you like to work with the Starcraft/Warcraft Modding Community closely? or sponsor them? There are Voice Actors Guilds and Sound Editors like SAVAGE samods.com or at WC3campaigns.com. They dedicate to support modders in the creation of their own voiced campaigns. Would you monitor this guilds once a month to assist them as a voice actress? Would you like to support the modding community that you helped create through your talent? GT: I’m very flattered by the offer, and I’m always willing to help up-and-coming artists with advice. As far as sponsoring or monitoring a guild, I frankly don’t have the hours to do it—having two careers takes up a lot of time. Having said that, I still try to answer e-mail personally when I’m able, and I’d be happy to pass on my knowledge to anyone who inquires. Would you consider creating a Non-Profit guild association for talented teens that would want to become Voice Actors and writters? Or would you commit to help talented teens and young adults find sources how to become writters and voice actors? Maybe someday some of them could work for you in your company. GT: Again, this would mean a big time commitment I can’t make. But actually there are a lot of guilds out there already that do just that. Voiceover actors can contact SAG/AFTRA for information and classes. And my writing group, Romance Writers of America, is a great resource and extremely supportive of aspiring writers. 14. Has Nihilistic contacted you to do Voice Acting? GT: I’m not sure Nihilistic believes in me(wink). By DarkNemesis Are some of the lines you had to say embarrasing to say aloud? If so how did you overcome them? ** I think he means lines like ““You (beep) annoying people, don’‘t you?”” or ““I’ve already checked you out commander. You want another physical?”“—these are obviously sexual innuendos** GT: The lines really aren’t embarrassing for me, because I sincerely put myself into the character I’m portraying. If the words seem natural for the character, they roll off my tongue easily—and that’s NOT a sexual innuendo, by the way Do you have any tips for Voice Actors that Act as a hobby for player made-campaigns? GT: Really immerse yourself into the character. There’s no room for embarrassment or self-consciousness when you have to do a death scream or gasps from invisible blows. If you believe in what you’re doing, it comes across. Of course, a little microphone technique training comes in handy, too. Was it awkward in the studio when you had to record? GT: I’m not sure what you mean by awkward. It’s never very atmospheric, just a dark little room with glass between you and the producers—you have to create the environment in your mind. I’m comfortable with the relationship between artist and producer, because I consider it my job to create the character the producer is looking for, and I can tell when I’ve achieved that by their reaction. If you mean awkward as in embarrassing, no. If you act embarrassed, it embarrasses everyone else in the room, but if you do those screams of torment with confidence, everyone believes you. Imagine Andy Serkis playing Gollum! What types of things do you do to just get motivated to start working? GT: I believe in doing my homework before I go into the studio, learning the character from all angles and practicing the script, if they give me one. I try to leave room for flexibility—the producer may want to alter what I’ve created. But the more immersed I am in the personality, the easier my job is. The producer appreciates that preparation, because less time in the studio means less money spent. |
