Video game Quote by Odette Yustman
“In a film, you're aware of the camera and you're on screen and you have to use your body movements. Doing a video game you also have to use your body because I move myself a lot, throwing, jumping up and down, to acquire that energy you can always sense through a voice. In that way it is the same but there's not as much pressure when you're doing a video game. Your face doesn't have to be on screen.”
