Playing Harry Potter

Noah speaks with Jim Dale, the actor and voice behind the Harry Potter books on tape. For the latest in the series, Dale had to create 125 voices -- and unlike other books he records, he was unable to read this one through to the end. This meant he was making up voices and not always remembering when one voice sounded like another. His voices come from the famous, like John Houseman and the not so famous, like past girlfriends.
