Summary
Maya Hawke and KJ Apa discuss the differences between voiceover work and on-screen acting in an exclusive interview with PEOPLE. They star together in 'The Summer Oath,' an Audible Original inspired by Shakespeare's 'Love's Labour's Lost.' Hawke notes that voiceover work removes the "pressure" of physical appearance and on-set demands, allowing actors to focus purely on vocal performance. Both actors reflect on the unique challenges and freedoms of audio-only storytelling, including the potential for it to feel "cheesy" at times.
