Semple: How do you approach voicing a character that is seen on screen? Do you look at the images first to get a feel for the character? We didn’t want to do an imitation of Karl’s voice, but we did add just a touch more of Eastwood into the final Dredd voice for Minty.
JARED BUTLER JACK SPARROW MOVIE
The Dredd 3D movie had come out and we’d seen that Karl Urban was doing kind of a Clint Eastwood thing so we felt like we should head in that direction a bit. We actually changed the voice about 6 months after I recorded it. We wanted him to sound like what many people have in their minds for Dredd, but we didn’t want it to be too cartoony. Hm… I wonder if they told Greg Staples he was going to be dubbed? Kind of a David Prowse / James Earl Jones situation… Anyway, Steven and I talked a lot about the voice and I sent over several different recorded versions. Jared: Well, I should say that originally, i was only going to do some background judge radio chatter, so when they asked me to voice Dredd it was kind of a small dream come true. Semple: Did you have any particular Directional guide on the voice for Dredd or was it more your own interpretation? I always liked the concept of the Long Walk though. As for the original Minty comic story, I didn’t really remember it and had to go back and re-read it (if I’d ever actually read it at all).
But now, with the new Dredd movie and with Minty, Dredd is back to being as cool as ever. Then the Stallone movie came along and sort of ruined things for a little while. At that time, Dredd was kind of a cool, little-known British import. I started with the Eagle Comics reprints since the magazine was almost impossible to get here in the states at that time. Jared: I read a lot of Dredd back when I was a kid in the 80s. Semple: Had you read any Judge Dredd before taking the role? If so did you know who Judge Minty was? I’m not sure they had even thought that far ahead yet, but they agreed it would be a good idea and promised to get in touch once it was time to do the audio. I said something like “I know you’re shooting in the UK, but you ARE planning to have American accents for your movie, aren’t you?”. It got me really excited for the project and, within a few hours, I had contacted Dan, Steven, and Steve to let them know I was a longtime Dredd fan, and a working voice-over actor here in Hollywood. Jared: A long time ago, I was online and saw one of the prototype uniforms Dan had put together. Semple: How did you become involved in this project?
The meat-suit he is speaking for is Greg Staples one of the many artists who draws Judge Dredd. This time it is the voice of Judge Dredd, Jared Butler. As of writing the video had been viewed 50,186 times. The film was released on You Tube during the early hours of Monday 6th May after six months of touring Film Festivals and Comic Cons throughout Britain, Europe and USA.
