Crash Courses for Actors on a Deadline.

Escobar: Paradise Lost

Benicio Del Toro, Josh Hutcherson, Claudia Traisac

Marta, you have given me everything I hoped for and more than I even dreamed of. Thank you.

Andrea Di Stefano

Director, Escobar: Paradise Lost

Mr Del Toro had a clear idea of how Pablo might have infused his enormous ego into his hobby – Escobar built his own nightclub just so he could sing! In only 8 weeks of training in Los Angeles, we hit The Village Studios where I produced BDT singing for the soundtrack. Then I flew to Panama to direct his performance live on camera singing as drug lord Pablo Escobar! Collaborating on this character sound was the most thrilling experience I have ever been part of.

Red Carpet Ready.

Actors rely on their voice to deliver character nuances. An on camera actor uses the voice differently from a stage actor. Camera voice is understated, yet intensely emotion packed. On camera voice requires an invisible mastery of diction, phrasing, rhythm, and modulation. Some actors perform multiple dialects and accents during their career. Singing and spoken word exercises combine the best of two disciplines. Marta’s voice workouts combine diction, tone, power and control exercises. The result is a relaxed but focused voice that nails the role and sweeps the awards. When thats locked down, she will produce the vocal in studio and music direct live on sound stage.

Fix or keep the flaws?

Taking away perfection, becoming real on camera is a tool that some very trained singers discover they need when singing on film. A raw singing performance on film is more believable than a produced recording.

Thank you oh so much for the Swiss Army Knife you gave me when I left to shoot my new NBC-TV series, “Crisis”. Oh and thanks for the voice training too!

Love, Stevie Lynn Jones
