Some picture books simply require you to make silly voices. To promote Sarah L. Thomson‘s piratical picture book, Pirates, Ho! we went to the king of silly voices —William Dufris.
Sarah Thomson and I giggled (until we snorted-I am embarrassed to say) as we sat in Dufris‘ studio hearing him give voice to Sarah’s characters Peg-Leg Tom, Angus Black, Dreadful Nell and One-Eyed Jack. He even dived into the crystal clear waters voicing characters pictured, but not named like the pelican “brwak” and the cabin boy.
We pick up the recording today, will sync it with Stephen Gilpin‘s illustrations, and hope to share it as an audio and video perfect for Talk Like a Pirate Day.
I, myself, have been Talking Like William Dufris for more than a Day!
