THE PAIRING

Emma Galvin and Max Meyers voice the perspectives of sommelier-in-training Theo Flowerday and French pastry chef Kit Fairfield. The two bisexual exes have met up by chance on a three-week food tour of France, Spain, and Italy. This tour de force of accents and vocal work is a testament to Galvin and Meyers’s skills. Any scene can require a half dozen international accents belonging to characters with varying moods and personalities. Galvin complements Theo's tomboyish character with a brash yet flirty register, while Meyers chooses a theatrical lilt for a more earnest sounding Kit. They even echo each other’s voices for dialogue from the same character, such as the charismatic tour guide Fabrizio. A true feast of vocal work and culinary descriptions! S.S.
