Один із найвідоміших акторів озвучення відмовився від традиційної підготовки до ролі Індіани Джонса
To create the image of the legendary archaeologist in Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, Troy Baker had to abandon traditional training methods and take an unusual path.
«I can tell you about the wrong approach and everything that seemed to help me but actually hindered me,» says Troy. — Every new project is something special for me. When people ask me about my method, I tell them that I don’t have one. The only rule is to be prepared, but not memorized».
«It drives my co-stars crazy because I don’t know what I’m going to do beforehand», the actor admits. — It’s like playing jazz every time».
At first, Baker tried to prepare for the role in the traditional way — he watched the original movies and listened to John Williams’ soundtracks. However, the method did not work.
«I walked into the hotel lobby and Tony» was sitting at the bar, — the actor recalls. «He said: “T, let me buy you a drink.” It was around 6:30 pm. And then — bam, it’s three in the morning, I’m playing the piano, we get kicked out of the bar, and I spend the whole weekend nursing a hangover».
When he returned to the set on Monday, instead of watching movies, the actor listened to Chopin.
«I get to the set, and Tom looks at me. I was expecting either a pep talk or a warning,» Baker says. «But he just looked at me and said: “Trust — it will come.” And that’s when I realized — Indiana Jones doesn’t wake up every morning reminding himself that he’s Indiana Jones. He just lives his life».
Troy Baker is one of the most famous voice actors in the world of video games. He has given his voice to Joel from The Last of Us, Booker DeWitt from BioShock Infinite, and voiced characters in dozens of other popular games.
As a reminder, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is coming out on December 9 on Xbox Series and PC. The game will be immediately available on Game Pass. Recently, the project developers showed a new trailer.
