　　Hey， what’s up? I’m Mandy Moore, Epic Records’ new recording artist. This whole industry is so much fun, and I love being an artist and performing live and you know everything that comes along with it. I saw my first play when I was six, totally hooked. My parents kind of thought it was a phase I was going to grow out of, but by the time I was about nine or ten they were like, "All right, you’re not giving up on this, "and they let me get voice lessons, you know to make sure that I was properly and I wasn’t hurting myself. It was quite amazing you know to get that phone call to actually have the meeting and meet with somebody from a record label and it was very surreal. But recording is like, it’s so cool because you get to have all this creative control like how I want harmonies and how I want to do ad-libs and stuff like that, so it really made it seem, even though I didn’t write the song, that they were my own, because I got to pure a lot of myself into them. So I loved recording. It was very hard, I mean long hours anywhere from like 8 to 10 hours a day, and something got you know pretty stressful and strenuous just doing lines over and over and over again. But I remember something like, like for candy, the whole little speaking part in the middle, actually I penned myself. So I was quite proud of myself.
　　
　　嗨，大家好吗？我是曼迪·摩尔,艾皮克唱片公司最新的录音歌手。唱片业非常有意思,我热爱这行业,也热爱表演生涯以及随之而来的一切。6岁时我看到自己的第一个演出,就彻底着迷了。父母以为我的热情会退去,可到我9岁或是10岁大时他们开始说:“好吧,你还没放弃。”于是他们让我上声乐课,确保我唱法正确，不会伤害到自己的嗓子。你知道,当我接到电话知道我真的要与录音人士见面时,我很难相信这是真的。但录音很酷,因为你要把一切创造性地掌握好,比如说希望和声怎样,希望即兴发挥怎样,诸如此类。尽管歌儿不是我写的,但它们还是我的歌,因为我往里头倾注了不少心血。所以我热爱录音。这工作很不容易,我是说要用很长的时间,比如一天8或10个钟头,有时候光是重复唱歌词就弄得压力很大、很紧张了。但我记得我在唱《糖果》这首歌时,中间那小段说话的部分我的表现就挺可圈可点的。所以我是很为自己感到骄傲的。
