”I think it was four sessions we did. It was supposed to be very intimate and finding a certain tone in the delivery. Dave was like I wanna be super relaxed. So we came up with the system where I’m lying down, the cue cards were on a screen above my face and the microphone was here. We first tried it where I was face down, but everything got a little nasal. In the end, I was lying on a bed. It was the most comfortable ADR voice over session I had done. We took our time, it was four sessisons of that.”
The Killer has received positive reviews as far as critics are concerned, as it has secured a Rotten Tomatoes score of 85%.
