Vote for Pedro
Monday was certainly a challenge, it is certainly much harder than it seems to stop emotion creeping into your voice, but equally still sound like a real person and not completely take away the intonation. The best example I've seen of this kind of acting outside or Richard Maxwell's work has been in the film Napoleon Dynamite. There is a character called Pedro who comes across as almost completely emotionless, but he does not sound like a robot and you even find
yourself identifying with the character and rooting for him in his quest to become class president. If anyone wants to borrow the film and see what I'm talking about, I would be happy to lend it out.
