"Dear Shu, I hope you can finish Anna well." --  little Sarah, who just turned five on the second voice recording.

"Sarah asked to write this message and she recited it, Joy is not wrong about her texting" -- text sent by Esther on 31 Oct.

"I want to see the movie!", said Sarah excitedly in CG09 on the first recording on 13 Oct. "You gotta text her!" Joy urged Sarah.

So I guess, how could I disappoint Sarah? And seven-year old Daniel too! "Anna World" is their movie!

"How did Jaws get up the tree?" asked inquisitive Daniel, "And why doesn't looking through Blue turn the red patches Violet?"

With Tony's help, we were in good hands. CG09 was all ready for the kids to do voice-over -- Sarah becomes Anna, and Daniel, Jaws. The mic was lowered to Sarah's height, and the kids excitedly went into the sound-proof "booth", with Joy coaching Sarah patiently, "say Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, then say Violet?"

Daniel tickled Sarah so she could laugh. And we all laughed.  "shhh.... we only want Sarah's laughter, Ok?'

"Jaws is up on the tree, so you say 'Jump Jaws, Jump!', Ok?" Joy explained to Sarah.. and then "huh? hmm... Rainbow! You can talk Jaws, You can talk...."

But how do you cry? So we went to YouTube and looked at how Boo in Monster Inc cries. And Sarah, so naturally, cries.

"When is my turn?", asked Daniel. Hmmm... how does Jaws "talk"? "What do I say?", Daniel looked at me. In fact, I don't know how Jaws should talk. So I told Daniel, "Err, just say 'oh oh, ee ee, ah ah, oo oo, umm umm umm, ah, ee ee ee....hmmm, huh...'"

Sarah and Daniel are just amazing! Superb. I simply love their voices, and them! Their excitement, their joy, and enthusiasm becomes my motivation to do the sound, and the movie, well.
