James Earl Jones The Voice of Darth Vader |
On playing Darth Vader: "The technique about recording that voice was to keep it within very strict boundaries of inflection, and there was no way to enlighten the voice with an awareness (of being Luke's father). In fact, my job was to keep awareness out of Darth Vader's voice--take all humanity out of it." "I think its success, if it is successful, was in its simplicity."
