I Was Always Writing. I Was Writing

I Had A Great Movement Teacher - He Showed Me How To Walk So I Wasn't Becoming Like A Cartoon.

In Moulin Rouge I Could Not Change The Name Of Toulouse-lautrec Obviously To Toulouse-lautrec- Martinez. But In Er I Did That, My Name Is Dr Victor Clemente, So Sometimes It Is Possible.

I Walked Around My Apartment With Food In My Mouth Asking Myself: "how Do I Come Up With This Voice?" Then I Found The Voice. I Called The Director And Said On The Phone: "guess Who You're Talking To Chris? Sid, That's Right Sid!" And That's How I Came Up With The Voice. That's A True Story.

But When You Are Doing An Animated Voice, It Has To Have More Energy Than Usual Or It Falls Flat And Doesn't Work. For Myself, I Found That I Had To Put Myself In The Same Physical Or Emotional State As Sid, In Order To Make That Voice Sound Alive And Authentic. So If There Was A Scene In Which He Was Running, I Would Be Running Beforehand To Sound Out Of Breath. That's Important Because The Audience Can Tell Intuitively If It Does Not Sound Real.

I'm Hoping My Play Opens Up Conversations, I Hope It Makes People Question Textbooks, I Hope It Makes #oscarssowhite And #hollywoodsowhite Question Things. I Hope My Play Sparks Conversation Between Latin Kids And Latin Parents And People Start Doing Their Own Due Diligence As Well, I Think It's Everyone's Responsibility.
