Hey Greg..boy its been a while since I've come in here to harass you. Ok heres a short one..Can you tell us how the Gargoyle cries were made for the show? U know..the sound Goliath made when he found his angle love in a pile? Or When Lex zoomed in to knock Wolf over..er..I think it was wolf..to lazy to check right now!-_- Or even in episode Seven, "Temptation" when Demona went screaming into the night..each one sounded different according to the character. IE Goliath deeper, Lex's higher pitched..Demona's definatly had a female quality.
Well, I was just wondering Thanks!:) OH and thanks again also for all the effort you are putting in to answer these Q's. You are a real trooper;)

In the recording studio, we'd always have the actor record any roars, growls etc. that we needed. Obviously, when Frank Welker was playing Bronx, that was simply what he did.
But we also had an amazing sound effects guy, Paca, who created individual SFX for all the gargoyles. For example, for females, we leaned toward a more pantheresque sound.
Then in the Sound Mix, we'd choose on a case by case basis, whether we were going to use the actors, the FX or both. We'd add reverb, etc. (In my head, by the way, I always felt that Gargoyles have two voiceboxes.)
It's hard for me to remember any specifics regarding individual roars. (Think how many roars we had per episode, then multiply by 66.) But speifically, that classic Goliath lament-roar was a whole lot of Keith David reverbed.
