Opening tomorrow in New York and Los Angeles is writer-director Lake Bell‘s comedy, In a World…  Bell stars as Carol, a voiceover actress who feels marginalized both by the sexism in her profession and the success of her father (Fred Melamed), who is famous in the voiceover profession.  Loaded with a great cast featuring Demetri Martin, Rob Corddry, Michaela Watkins, Ken Marino, Lucy Punch, Nick Offerman, and Eva Longoria, In a World... impressed me and I really enjoyed the behind-the-scenes look at voiceover artists.  For more on the film, watch the trailer.

Last week I got to talk with Bell and Martin here in Los Angeles.  They talked about what they learned about trailers/voiceovers from making the film, how they have a new respect for voiceover artists, vocal trends, and more.  Hit the jump to watch.

Lake Bell and Demetri Martin:

  • Bell talks about being obsessed with voiceovers from an early age
  • What did they learn about trailers/voiceovers from making the film
  • How they have a new respect for people doing voiceovers
