In the espionage and action-packed feature film, Haywire (out today), MMA-fighter-turned-actress Gina Carano’s voice was altered for her character Mallory Kane. Voice altering is done all the time — rerecording through ADR, EQing and heaps of other tricks in mixing, and some actors even get a full treatment of effects on their dialogue (take the wildly debated voice of Tom Hardy’s Bane in the upcoming The Dark Knight Rises, for example).

Carano’s voice was deepened to differentiate the actress from her character according to reports, but what do you think? Could it be that Carano’s voice was “too feminine” for some sort of take-no-prisoners stereotype? Are we too quick to jump to using movie magic these days when perhaps an actor should go through dialogue coaching and learn to bring a new voice out organically? Or are we silly to not use all of our new tools to push the limits of storytelling?
