00:00
I Because I. Where would she go without telling me?
00:10
Diego didn't say anything about what?
00:18
Welcome to Audiom. I'm Ana Barasa,
00:20
and today I'm with Ana de la Reguera who reprises her role
00:24
as Lala Portal in The Big Fix,
00:26
a Jack Bergen Mystery,
00:28
a gritty tale of murder,
00:29
lost communities, and the price of power in 1950s Los Angeles
00:41
Anna, thanks for joining us.
00:42
Thank you very much.
00:43
Summarize the big fix in 15 seconds.
00:46
Start the timer. Historical drama audio series with Jon Hamm and
00:50
me, mysterious but also important for our community,
00:53
for Latinos. This story about Chavez Rinn,
00:56
suspense, something great to hear.
00:58
We'll talk about it later.
00:59
We'll talk about more.
01:00
This audio series. It feels like a movie.
01:03
Like you're listening to a movie.
01:05
It's like moving your ears with a cast that includes Jon Hamm
01:09
Aaliyah Shawhead, Tamara,
01:12
Erin Moriarty. This is not your first time voicing the character
01:16
of Lala. How do you approach maintaining her core essence from
01:22
the first Jack Bergen mystery,
01:24
The Big Lie? To allowing her to evolve in the big
01:27
fix. I really love the character.
01:29
She's like fighting for her family and for her community.
01:32
I just had to put a lot of passion in it because
01:35
I knew I was representing a lot of us Latinos,
01:39
in this audio series,
01:41
and the displacement of the Mexican-American community in Chavez Ravine is a
01:45
painful real history. How did learning about this moment.
01:49
And,, influence your connection to the story personally.
01:53
I remember growing up watching the Dodgers because my dad would love
01:57
Fernando Valenzuela, which was like a huge star for us like
02:02
worldwide. But then when you find out what happened there,
02:05
it's really, really heartbreaking and also it still happens.
02:09
That's why I think this story is still relevant to tell.
02:12
What do you Hope listeners walk away feeling after hearing Lala's family
02:19
story and her fight for justice.
02:21
That's why people really like the character because they connected with her
02:26
you know, right now what's happening in our community,
02:28
the community in the country.
02:30
When there's something like this happening in our community,
02:33
it's so fascinating to witness how people step up.
02:37
Yeah, and that's what Lala does exactly.
02:40
So I really hope people can listen to the story and listen
02:44
to Lala's story because I know they're gonna know somebody who went
02:49
through the same thing where they,
02:50
someone from your family was,
02:56
yeah, left without your home with your neighborhood,
02:59
with your, you know,
03:01
they separate. From your family and speaking of family in the
03:05
Big Big Sala shows just this unshakable drive to clear Diego's name
03:11
How did you channel that determination and persistence in your performance
03:15
We had a great director and it was a very special
03:19
project because we didn't do it separate.
03:22
Most of the time you're alone.
03:23
This time we were there.
03:26
Acting together, it felt more organic and fun.
03:31
The writing was perfection,
03:33
and also I was very conscious about my accent.
03:36
That is not my first language,
03:37
but it just works perfect.
03:38
Yeah, how could I be as flawless as they are when
03:41
while they're reading?
03:42
That's what the producers wanted it because it's only audio,
03:46
so you can tell like immediately that she's Latina.
03:50
If audiences walk away with just one thing about.
03:54
Lala, after listening to the big fix,
03:56
what do you hope it is?
03:58
Her pride, her determination,
04:01
not ever giving up how brave she was.
04:04
Yeah, so we're both actresses and we're going to do a
04:07
little improv pero novella style.
04:20
Mm. Action Olana numerodos numero uno peronae quesa pine agar laolsa
04:38
mas de siada the Hollywood comoter tressa pienda.
04:43
How you dare? The Bing bag is mine.
04:48
no, no. I called because I am responsible unlike you
04:53
and I say it is my bag.
04:55
It's my bag. Why would you do this to me?
04:59
You know my mother just passed away.
05:02
My mother too. She needs to.
05:07
I love you When did she die?
05:11
because. She wants this back in her grave.
05:18
Hannah, I will not give you the bag.
05:21
What? You can't do this to me.
05:23
Of course I can do it.
05:27
Oh, you hit me in my face.
05:29
You're gonna die. This bag is gonna be for my mom
05:34
and he's gonna pass it to me and then to my
05:39
what makes the Jack Bergen mystery series worth hitting play on?
05:43
That you transport to another era and you can just be here
05:46
it's almost like being in a virtual reality.
05:49
Oh yeah, you can be in walking in a grocery store
05:52
doing your laundry and you're in another world.
05:55
The whole team did the best job at that.
05:58
It's, it's beautifully made.
06:00
I love that it is a very immersive.
06:03
Experience. It was actually written as a movie and I have
06:07
to talk to the Audible team.
06:09
