The speaker, an actress, is giving an interview or monologue, discussing her method of preparing for a role by studying a real person's characteristics from deposition tapes.
Step forward. The only research I didn't do was meet her. I had many, many, many, uh, 10 hours of deposition tapes in terms of the voice and the mannerisms and the way she speaks and how she uses her mouth and her hands, and even to the way she listened. Um, I got to study, so it was like muscle memory for me. It was so delicious because I've only played three people, three real people, and the first two times they didn't have any footage like that.
Un paso más. La única investigación que no hice fue conocerla. Tenía diez horas de cintas de declaración para voz, manerismos, cómo habla, usa la boca y manos, e incluso su forma de escuchar. Pude estudiarlo, así que para mí fue como memoria muscular. Fue una delicia, porque solo interpreté a tres personas reales, y las dos primeras veces no había metraje así.
