With narration, you have to be very accurate with your voice. It’s a good exercise to do.

Creative Creativity Trying
If the director wishes to print it, then you have a series of choices, maybe millions of choices within that minute-and-a-half, or 80 seconds, or 2 minutes or however long or short the take is, you have all those choices committed to celluloid. I find that absolutely thrilling.

BEN KINGSLEY

Acting Crap Talk
