The Batwoman of all of it took “a lot of getting used to,” Leslie stated. “No one tells you how to stand or talk or anything!”
While the much deeper Batwoman voice is partially thanks to a modulator, she remembered getting notes after recording the very first number of episodes about reducing her voice herself. Now, the lower register is automated as quickly as she places on the cowl.
“There’s no other superhero on my show right now, so to learn how to stand and present myself. I had to figure that out for myself, figure out what a superhero for myself looks like, for Ryan looks like,” she stated. “Ryan isn’t your average superhero. She didn’t grow up ever feeling like she ever could have been one, so I think her figuring out how to stand, how to hold her hands and things like that, I completely understood, because that was me trying to figure it out.”
Now, it feels completely natural, and Leslie has actually determined how to take some ownership of the renowned character.
“This is Ryan’s Batwoman, and that can never be changed,” she stated. “So because of that, it feels completely natural, because being Ryan feels natural.”
