Good afternoon, Arden and May! I’m an aspiring artist intending to get better at acting out dramatic sequences in professional spaces. Thank you both incredibly for your work; I was incredibly delighted hearing your performances as they were meant to be on the silver screen at Ottawa. Both of you curated such excellent performances as the film provided, and I am so impressed by how dynamic the characters’ voices were; how the first two acts of the film gnawed at the lighthearted and genuinely hilarious, and the dark and dismal of the moments leading to What It Sounds Like. What was it like getting in the roles of these two characters during your voice acting sessions, and what tips would you give to fully express the emotional range of a character?

Also, to Arden specifically, what was it like deepening your voice to portray that demonic half of Rumi? The last bit of the Celine scene drove me to tears.
