As much as I was anticipating this ses-sion with Meryl, I had no idea how muchI would learn from her! She was abso-lutely amazing!!! This was a “whole newdeal” for Meryl, not ever having donevoice-overs before. A parent of 4 chil-dren, none of them had seen her work inany of the films she had done, but whenthey found out she was going to be on“The Simpsons”, the pressure was on!!!She really wanted to do a good job! We started recording and she was areal trooper! We did our typical 5-6 takeson each scene, each time adjusting thereading a bit to give the producers an ar-ray of choices. After the 6th shot, Merylscrunched up her nose a bit and looked atour director and Exec. Producer, DavidMirkin, she said, Could I do it one moretime? I have another idea.” Of course thiswas not problem, so we did it again.Then after the 7th take, she wouldscrunch up her nose a bit and again toMr. Mirkin she would question, “I haveanother idea… could I…?” Withoutmissing a beat, we were rolling again.Well, after the 8th time through, Icouldn’t believe it! She wanted to doit one more time!” I’m thinking, “Whatcould she possibly do that she hasn’talready done before?!” And darn if shedidn’t pull off yet another totally differ-ent take! NO WONDER SHE’S MERYLSTREEP!
