Hollywood actors Maya Hawke and KJ Apa recently discussed their foray into voice acting, highlighting the differences from traditional on-camera performances. In their new Audible Original project, ‘The Summer Oath’, Hawke and Apa explore a narrative inspired by Shakespeare’s ‘Love’s Labour’s Lost’. Hawke expressed her enthusiasm for the creative freedom voice acting offers, allowing her to experiment with diverse characters and identities.
Apa, on the other hand, appreciated the reduced pressure that voice acting brought compared to film sets. He found joy in the immersive experience of exploring a detailed storyline without the usual on-set demands. ‘The Summer Oath’, a collaboration between Audible and Broadway Video, features a talented voice cast including Hawke, Apa, and other notable actors.
The project, created and directed by Claire Friedman, offers a refreshing and light-hearted narrative that resonates with both actors. Apa, a self-proclaimed fan of romantic comedies, embraced the opportunity to be part of a feel-good story. The voice acting experience allowed both Hawke and Apa to step outside their usual roles and delve into a new realm of storytelling.
