JWN #5 Sondra James - a podcast by Joseph W Nienstedt

Actor Sondra James may be best known for her roles in movies like the 2019 Oscar winning film Joker, Woody Allen’s Crisis In Six Scenes, or her repeated guest spots on the Late Show with Stephen Colbert, but before that she spent over 35 years pioneering the world of voice acting doing ADR recording, which is the art of replacing background dialog in movies & TV.

After a long career in the business, she found out later in her career that not only do people think she’s naturally funny & “adorable”, but that she’s as natural on screen as she is in a sound booth. As she explains, she was kind of taken aback to be considered “adorable” at first as she still has a young spirit, but she uses that to her advantage and plays it up for the camera.

Sondra's a legend in the business and I hope you enjoy this insightful discussion into the world of professional acting.
