Andy Garcia Narrates Voices From Cuba
Actor Andy Garcia narrates Voices From Cuba at Waterman Sound in LA
We recently had the pleasure of working with the award-winning actor Andy Garcia, as he recorded the narration for our upcoming documentary film Voices From Cuba.
As those of you who have worked with me over the years might know (if we’ve had lunch together, driven to a location together, or waited any length of time for anything!), Voices From Cuba has been a passion project of mine for many years. MANY years! And we are finally wrapping it up.
To hear Mr. Garcia bring life to the the words that I wrote, with his passion and talent, was an absolute dream come true.
The recording took place at Waterman Sound in LA. I was able to be in the room with him virtually, directing him along as we went through the script. Marilyn Morris, our Recording Engineer, did an excellent job facilitating things for us.
As a Cuban exile himself, Mr. Garcia is very passionate about Cuba and Cuban issues, and this came through in his work with us.
He was born Andrés Arturo Garcia Menéndez in Havana, Cuba. At age five, he and his family fled in exile to Miami Beach, Florida as a result of Fidel Castro's takeover of his homeland.
He has established himself as one of today's most talented and versatile actors - working in films such as The Untouchables, Oceans Eleven, and Godfather III, where he was nominated for an Oscar for Best Actor in a Supporting Role.
In early October, I’ll be flying to LA to visit with the Grammy Award-winning Latin Jazz musician Arturo Sandoval in his home studio, as he starts to compose and record his original score for the film.
Voices From Cuba is a 2-part documentary that explores the turbulent migration from Cuba to the United States since Fidel Castro took control in 1959, as seen through the personal stories of the Cuban exiles who lived through it. Arturo Sandoval will be scoring the film.
Part 1 will premiere in December, and explores the beginnings of Fidel Castro’s revolution through the Bay of Pigs Invasion, and the Cuban Missile Crisis.
Part 2 - Children of the Revolution - will premiere next year.
