Fanboyplanet.com interviews Mark Ryan, the voice of Bumblebee in 'Transformers'
Bumblebee didn't talk in the version of the script I was working from on the set. I'd voiced the scene when the Autobots discussed how he'd lost his voice, so at that point it was a done deal.
Later in the post production phase, Michael would often throw in new dialogue ideas, especially humorous lines and just say: "Try it like this or just say that!" We did a lot of that and we were just like two kids having fun with the characters.
During one of these many sessions Michael gave me some new dialogue that I'd never read before and we just played around with it. We tried several character voices at different pitches. I wasn't sure how it would be used but obviously I knew by then the Bumblebee back-story. That set me free to voice it with an understanding of the emotional weight of the character and the dramatic effect it might have at that moment in the story.
I gave it my best shot but it was just one of many lines recorded during those sessions to be used for dubbing and editing.
There are lots more autobot insights from Ryan in this exclusive interview.
