Dee Bradley Baker performs a virtual one-man-show by bringing to life an entire troop of clones in "Rookies," an all-new episode of Star Wars: the Clone Wars, premiering at 9 p.m. ET/PT Friday, October 24, on Cartoon Network.
迪·布莱德利·贝克凭借在《新兵上阵》中让全部克隆军士兵栩栩如生的演出而贡献了一场实质上的独角戏，这是全新一集《星球大战：克隆人战争》，于10月24日周五ET/PT晚9点在“卡通频道”首播。

The episode finds a group of clones standing guard alone on a distant listening outpost. Clone Commander Cody and Captain Rex must inspire their rookie unit to believe in themselves to stave off a Droid Commando invasion.
这一集中，一队克隆士兵独自驻守在一个遥远的前哨监听站。克隆指挥官科迪和上尉雷克斯必须鼓舞他们的新兵小分队自信起来，以抵抗一支机器人突击队的入侵。

Baker is a veteran voice actor with hundreds of credits ranging from "American Dad" and "Avatar: The Last Airbender" to "Ben 10: Alien Force" and "My Friends Tigger & Pooh." For Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Bradley finds himself performing an altogether new concept of "range" -- voicing all of the clones and imbuing them with unique identities and slight variations. Bradley says the not-so-simple trick is to make all of the clones sound the same ... but different.
贝克是一个资深配音演员，有从《美国老爹》和《降世神通：最后的气宗》到《Ben 10：Alien Force》以及《小熊维尼与跳跳虎》在内的数百部配音作品。在《星球大战：克隆人战争》中，布莱德利发现自己对表演的“戏路”有了一个全新的概念——给所有的克隆人配音，并且给他们注入独特的个性以及少许的变化。布莱德利说，要让所有的克隆人听上去一样……又不一样，不是那么简单的把戏。

"We start with a basic core voice like Rex, then we take into account the personality traits that are built into that character," Baker says. "Some are younger and rougher around the edges, or older and more cynical. So we attach an adjective or two to each one, then we record each one separately, giving each character a different feel."
“我们从雷克斯这样重要的基础声音开始，然后我们考虑要塑造进那个角色的个性特征。”贝克说，“有的更年轻更近乎暴躁，或者更年长而更玩世不恭。因此我们给每一个都加上一到两个形容词，然后分别录下每个人的声音，给每个角色一种不同的感觉。”

While Baker already has a library of thousands of voices in his head, he says it's not difficult adding to the catalog and quickly referencing those intonations -- even when there are so many clones, each of whom is subtly different.
由于贝克的大脑如同一座有着数千种声音的图书馆，因此他说再多几种声音并且迅速引用那些语调并不是什么难事——即使有那么多的克隆人，每一个都有微妙的不同。

"As you go through the recording sessions, you become familiar with the different feel of each character, so they really become individuals and it's surprisingly easy to recreate each one once you've done it for a while," Baker says. "When you paint a picture or write a book, each character you create becomes this little polished thing, so when you come back to it there's this immediate familiarity. To that end, voicing all the clones is not as difficult as it seems."
“只要你经历了录音过程，你就会对每个不同角色都熟悉起来，因此他们真正变得独特起来，而只要你配上一段时间，要再对每个角色进行再创造就变得令人惊讶地容易。”贝克说，“在你画一幅画或写一部书的时候，你创造的每个角色都变得象这样精妙，于是当你回头再写时，立即就有了这种熟悉感。因此，给所有克隆人配音并没有看上去的那么难。”

Clone troopers are forced to stave off an attack on a distant listening post -- without the help of the Jedi -- in "Rookies," an all-new episode of Star Wars: The Clone Wars premiering at 9 p.m. ET/PT Friday, October 24, on Cartoon Network.
在《星球大战：克隆人战争》最新一集《新兵上阵》中，克隆士兵们被迫要击退一次对边远前哨监听站的进攻——没有绝地的帮助。该集将于10月24日周五ET/PT晚9点在“卡通频道”首播。

While most of Baker's clone characters are recorded separately, he sometimes voices multiple clones at once, depending on the complexity of the dialogue and the number of clones in the scene. Baker says he wants to ensure there is enough separation for the viewer to make the distinction between the characters' voices.
虽然绝大多数贝克的克隆人角色都是分别录音的，但他有时也要根据对话的复杂程度以及场景中的克隆人数，一次配多个克隆人。贝克说他希望确保有足够的独特性以使观众能从角色的声音中进行区分。

"It's a great acting challenge to give these guys an individual sense of humanity," Baker says. "One of the outstanding things about this series is that we're giving the clones a sense of identity that they never had before. I think humanizing the mass of soldiers is really interesting and a wonderful addition to the storytelling."
“给这些家伙一种人性上的独特感觉是一项了不起的表演挑战，”贝克说，“这个系列出色的地方之一就是我们给了克隆人一种独特感，而这是以前从来没有过的。我认为让那么多士兵变得人性化真的非常有趣，而且是对故事情节的一种美妙的补充。”
