What is Voices of Magic?
If you’re a Harry Potter fan, you’ll love Voices of Magic! They create and bring to life characters from the series using sound and motion technology. You can watch them develop characters like Dumbledore, Voldemort, Ron Weasley, Hermione Granger, Draco Malfoy, and more on their website or YouTube channel.
If you’re unfamiliar with Voices of Magic, they use motion capture technology to record actors speaking lines from the Harry Potter movies. At the same time, they perform simple actions like gesturing or walking. The software then creates digital models of these actors’ heads and bodies used to animate the characters in scenes.
The results are excellent! Examples of their work are on their website or the YouTube channel linked above. I highly recommend checking them out if you’re a Harry Potter fan!

How Much Does Voice Recording Cost?
When bringing characters from the Harry Potter series to life, there’s no one better than voice actor Jamie Percival. In this video interview, Percival talks about how voice recording costs for a character like Dumbledore can run into thousands of dollars.
“You might start with a script, and then you might have an obvious idea of how you want the character to sound, but then as you get closer to recording, maybe there will be some changes that need to be made,” Percival says. “So often, what started as one take might end up being six or seven takes, and sometimes even more.”
Percival notes that each actor brings their distinct flavor and tone to the character’s voice, so capturing a replica of a specific performance in audio form can be difficult. However, with enough takes and careful editing, he says that almost any character can be brought to life convincingly.
