Kate Winslet shares ‘flirtatious’ voicemails to a producer
On June 5, at the FYC Panel event held in Los Angeles, Winslet shared about her process of building her character. The actress said that it did not make sense for her to speak the way she normally speaks. She wanted to find something that did not feel too close to her.
Winslet shared that initially, she experimented with the accent in her home’s kitchen; her family members reacted by stating that it made their “ears bleed.”
The Eternal Sunshine Of A Spotless Mind actress reflected that she left voicemails as Chancellor Vernham (Winslet’s character in The Regime) to Jessica Hobbs, who serves as the director and executive producer for the series. Hobbs shared a positive response to the voice tested out by the actress.
She eventually tried out her voice before the show’s executive producer and director, Stephen Frears. She sat Frears down and said to him, “'Do you see if I just maybe did that? And then a little bit and talk to you slightly flirtatiously, I could probably get you to do anything.” Winslet shared that he looked at the actress and said, “You've got to do that for six months."
