“The Farm Celebrity” – This is the man behind the “Farm Celebrity” voice

–

A few years later, he appeared in a raccoon costume with Asgeir Borgemoen (50) in the program «Fritt fram» on children’s TV. And when he was 12, he heard himself in theaters for the first time as a young Tarzan in the Disney movie of the same name.

Steal food: – No consequences

His career has continued to flourish since then, and today you can hear his voice in “Farmen kjendis”.

Behind the scenes

When Dagbladet hits the thread to Maurstad, he makes no secret of the fact that he thrives well in his profession, and that it is exciting with the varied workday.

– In the double industry, you can be so much weird. In one day I can be anything from a bird to a soldier, to the narrator’s voice on «The Farm». There are small roles and big roles. It’s really surprising how much one needs a vote. Everything from a defibrillator, to a solarium, says the 33-year-old.

Maurstad can tell Dagbladet that even those who work with the “Farmen kjendis” episodes have to wait quite close to broadcast time before they get to see what will happen next in the season.

This has never happened before

– My voices for “The Farm” are pretty fresh. I think they work pretty closely up to the episodes before it comes on TV to edit the episodes. I’m ready now to do the voices that come next week, I have not done them yet. I have done half of them, he continues.

The voice actor is currently in the home office due to the infection control measures, which has resulted in a home studio. Here he records all of what eventually ends up in the program.

– I thought: “God, so uncomfortable”

– I have bought something called an Isovox which is a mini-studio. I’m wearing a large, soundproof helmet with a microphone inside. It looks stupid, but sounds fantastic, says Maurstad.

Maurstad further reveals that it is only the week before the program is broadcast on TV that he receives a script of the production. Then he does not always get to see the scenes he records his voice for.

– The voice has quite a lot of information about what happens in the weekly assignment, for example, so then it is not always necessary for me to see, he admits, and adds:

– I thought: “God, so uncomfortable”

– If I pronounce a word incorrectly, as I sometimes do, I get it in return with feedback on how it should be pronounced. It’s about 1920 and it’s not all the old words I have complete control over. But I learn a lot.

– My biggest dream

Despite the fact that the voice actor thrives well behind the camera, he makes no secret of the fact that his dream is to replace the microphone stand with a place in the yard.

Drunk scandal on “Farmen kjendis”

– I follow with excitement the “Farm celebrity” and my biggest dream in life is to be a participant. All I want is to be a participant, he says with a laugh, before adding:

– Therefore, I have also asked not to get so many spoilers of what is happening. It will be difficult, but I actually think they were kind to me last year. Then I found out a week before who was going to win “The Farm Celebrity”, and my voice ended up being: “We congratulate the winner of the Farm Celebrity”. So I never ended up saying his name. Then they wrote, “Please, Scott. Now you can see the program like everyone else ».

Despite being part of the “Farm” universe, Maurstad does not see himself as a celebrity. This he thinks more voice actors can recognize themselves in:

“All of Norway” grew up with his voice. These are the roles we will never forget

– It’s called “The Farm Celebrity” for a reason. I do not consider myself a celebrity exactly. There are probably not many of us voice actors who are really celebrities because of it, although probably many out there have heard us, perhaps throughout their lives, without knowing who we really are.

Can not interview Isak

– I know that voice

Maurstad makes no secret of the fact that there can also be advantages to being fairly anonymous as a voice actor. He has nevertheless been recognized for his previous roles.

– I was recognized when someone left a comment on an Instagram photo, where they asked if I was the narrator in «The Farm». I have been given the green light to say that I am, he says.

The 33-year-old has also worked with visual interpretation, which involves explaining what happens to people who are visually impaired or blind. It resulted in a touching moment on the street:

– Should never have been shown on TV

It was once this summer that a little boy came walking by and stopped and said: “I know that voice.” He was very visually impaired, and has thus heard my voice explain, as a visual interpreter, what happens on a children’s TV series. Then they turned and asked me if it was true, and then I thought, “Wow, well heard.” I often use a slightly more informative voice as “voice over”, but he recognized the value in my voice. It was a bit cool, the voice actor admits.
