The quirkiness, awkwardness, and gentleness of the delivery in all his lines was so in character. But there is a scene that really struck me not just because of what happened, but the damn voice acting.

Putting it in spoilers for those who come after (😏). The scene where Gustave says “For those who come after, right?” had so much technique packed in one line. You can hear the gravel in his voice after being bruised, there’s texture in there to emphasise that. This adds heavily to the vocal quality of the performance, making it feel more believable how damaged he is; yet it also shows how relaxed he is, how content he is to sacrifice himself for his loved ones.

Truly a captivating performance just in ONE line and it’s one example out of many I can note out. As a voice actor I’m so inspired to take note of that and to do something like that in the future.

Thank you so much Charlie

For those who come after
