Producer/Director Rosalind Ayres talks about working with David Mamet and radio plays
May 5th, 2008 Posted in General InfoTomorrow (Tuesday, May 6th Voice Registry podcast) I talk with Rosalind Ayres, via phone patch to London, about producing and directing radio plays and working with David Mamet. Seems Mamet started out in radio getting his short pieces produced.
On the connection between film acting and performing in radio plays, Ros says “radio performance is much closer to working on film than it is to working in the theatre. The microphone is ruthless like a camera, exposing any lack of thought. What you say is modulated by what you’re thinking.”
Seems that the power of the microphone is equal to the lens.
Hear more about what Ros looks for (and listens for) when casting voice talent and what it takes to be successful in radio theatre.
