This look at the many voices of Benedict Cumberbatch has us strolling down memory lane, from Sherlock all the way to Doctor Strange #tbt via / 799280941818445827
Tony Medrano Although it's motion capture, they only used it for the face. They couldn't use the footage of his body movement bc a dragon moves very different
I recently learned this as well. Lol. I kind of assumed he was just in a studio recording the voice -- I didn't realize they actually had him all decked out in a motion capture suit crawling around on the floor. But it was honestly super adorable because they asked him in one interview how he prepared for the role and he said he went to the zoo and studied how lizards moved and tried to copy that.
Kayla M Cook its really cool because they could have easily just put him in a studio but he wanted to use motion capture so he could really feel like the dragon and get into character. thats just one of the amazing things about him and the hobbit’s filmmakers
He recently appeared on the Graham Norton Show and Norton got him to repeat the word slowly with him, and he actually managed to get it right :-) so hopefully he's overcome that now. But what a voice - like a cello filled with molasses
I always described it as coffee, deep, strong, and if it's made the way I like it, smooth. But a cello filled with molasses is a PERFECT description!!!
Seriously! Same here! Watch the RU-vid video of him doing that scene! When he's portraying Smaug infuriated He does a snarl and growl so spot on he actually sounds inhuman! I already had goosebumps, and he gave my goosebumps, goosebumps!
My favorite thing about Benedict is that his acting is truly so good that it feels like completely different people in everything you watch him in. That's how all acting is supposed to work but just doesn't most of the time. My favorite is Sherlock, and it's crazy how different that character is than Ben and his other characters. Truly magnificent.
Well, it's a bit different. For example, in American English one says, "sidewalk", as apposed to, "pavement". Thus, it is almost exactly the same, all the while completely different.
Northeasterners and Mid-Atlantic residents say pavement, too. American English is regional, and considering how large the country is, no one sounds the same.
American English and British English, though they are both technically the same language, are vastly different. It's like the difference between a chihuahua and a basset hound. Both are obviously dogs, but they're definitely not the same kind of dog.
I'm Australian and I am impressed... when someone does an Australian accent it's ridiculously strong and unrealistic... but this one was suttle and spot on
HHAHAAHAHAH XD I was not prepared for the dragon bit, I had no clue that they actually used his actions as the dragons xD I thought that he just stood in a recording studio and recorded his voice, oh god xD I need to see more of this!
FlyLikeAnOwl that’s why it’s considered good because he can sound subtle and native without having to go into a full blown over the top accent like most people do
I love his accents and he does them so well considering he has a deep British accent that is his normal voice. Also him as a dragon always gives me the chills
When I found that he is casted as Doctor Strange, I thought that the character was British until I found out later that he is supposed to be American. That was when I was super psyched to hear him speak like an American!!
He is an amazing actor. I just hope he won't be typecast as smart genius character in his future endeavor, even though I enjoy immensely in whatever he does ;>
I choose to die by Benedict Cumberbatch's voice. Just speak to me in that deep rumble and I'll happily drift my way up to Heaven. That voice gives me shivers.
