Speaker 1: this process.
Speaker 3: It has It's been a wild ride. I remember our
Speaker 3: live shows that we used to do. Do you remembers,

Speaker 3: a part of I hear voices that travels with us,

Speaker 1: everybody and share it with everybody, and selfishly, this has
Speaker 1: been so much fun for me to just watch the
Speaker 1: contestants week after week. Everybody's so good. It gets harder
Speaker 1: every week. And you know, all of our incredible judges
Speaker 1: that have decaturs oh yeah, that have come on to
Speaker 1: help us out have been absolutely incredible.
Speaker 3: Honestly, it was like Avengers Assemble when it came to
Speaker 3: Will having his friends come. And today will be no
Speaker 3: different with who we have lined up to be our
Speaker 3: final adjudicator team.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we got a team. We're going to have an
Speaker 1: adjudicator team to help us with the finals, which is
Speaker 1: so cool. And of course, as we said, we are
Speaker 1: actually full disclosure recording this intro before the actual contest
Speaker 1: takes place because Christy is not going to be able
Speaker 1: to be with us for the actual show. Itself, but
Speaker 1: there was no way we were going to do this
Speaker 1: without her. We just could not possibly ever make that happen. Well,
Speaker 1: it just wasn't gonna happen. Never, never, never.
Speaker 3: I feel like I intimately know our voices that are
Speaker 3: going head to head today, and both of them are fantastic,
Speaker 3: ye Hannabama and Mia are just the most amazing ladies.
Speaker 3: And I think both of them are going to hit
Speaker 3: it out of the park one way or another. So
Speaker 3: it's going to be a pretty fierce episode. This should
Speaker 3: be really cool. I want you to call me or
Speaker 3: text me or call me, beat me if you want
Speaker 3: to reach me, Well, to let me know who wins, okay,
Speaker 3: because I will definitely reach out to that person. We
Speaker 3: can do something and just like I don't know to
Speaker 3: both of.
Speaker 1: Them really well, don't forget, by the way, that the
Speaker 1: winner is going to not only get to sign with CESD,
Speaker 1: not only get one thousand dollars and flown out to
Speaker 1: LA but we'll be having lunch with us, oh yeah,
Speaker 1: which is awesome. So we'll get a chance to see them.
Speaker 1: And then they go and meet Sam Regal and or
Speaker 1: Mary McGlynn for a directing session which is going to
Speaker 1: be very cool too, so it's going to be a
Speaker 1: ton of fun. But and here's the thing, and this
Speaker 1: is one hundred percent genuine. I have no idea who's
Speaker 1: going to win. I have no idea. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I just don't know. We've got two incredible contestants. Anybody
Speaker 1: could have an amazing day. Anybody could have an off day.
Speaker 1: You know, nerves can get to some people. You never know,
Speaker 1: equipment problems, you just don't know. It is anybody's game,
Speaker 1: and I'm super excited.
Speaker 3: I really am awesome. Well, thank you for you know,
Speaker 3: being my partner in this.
Speaker 1: Yes, partner in crime. You know that forever I got
Speaker 1: your back.
Speaker 3: I love that I've brought you're back too. So let's
Speaker 3: just give it up to this episode. This is Christie's
Speaker 3: signing off, but I leave you in good hands. Friends.
Speaker 1: So there it is. Oh, I'm so sorry Christy's not
Speaker 1: actually here for the actual contest day. She so wanted
Speaker 1: to be. Let me tell you everybody out there, she
Speaker 1: really really wanted to be. But with the way, you know,
Speaker 1: life gets crazy and you can't always control what's going on.
Speaker 1: So that does not change the fact that we are
Speaker 1: here at the finals. We've made it from forty five
Speaker 1: hundred down to two, and of course we need the
Speaker 1: best adjudicate tours. That's a shout out to Christy. The
Speaker 1: best judges we could possibly find for the last episode,
Speaker 1: and we needed more than one. So I'm going to
Speaker 1: introduce these people one at a time and then we'll
Speaker 1: bring them in because it is a big day today.
Speaker 1: But before we get there very quickly, I know Christy
Speaker 1: thanked everybody in the opening, but I want to just
Speaker 1: add my own kudos to everybody who helped us out,
Speaker 1: from our producer Lorrain and our engineer Brian and iHeart
Speaker 1: and CESD Prime Video, everybody Christy mentioned, everybody over there
Speaker 1: a critical role. This has just been an absolute joy
Speaker 1: and so much fun. So this is going to be
Speaker 1: a great day that is going to end with giving
Speaker 1: somebody a start in the entertainment industry in the voiceover world,
Speaker 1: which I could not be more excited about. This is
Speaker 1: really quite awesome and emotional and something that I've wanted
Speaker 1: to do for a very very long time. So that
Speaker 1: being said, before I get too sappy, which is certainly possible,
Speaker 1: I want to introduce our guest judges for the day.
Speaker 1: We heard her last week and we could not not
Speaker 1: to not have a double negative. Wow, that's like three
Speaker 1: knots in a row. Have her back because she is
Speaker 1: so incredible and is going to be helping to once
Speaker 1: again direct our young actors on their journey. Andrea Romano
Speaker 1: will be joining us again today. And also with Andrea Romano,
Speaker 1: we have one of the most celebrated voice over actors,
Speaker 1: friend of the podcast, been here before. One of the
Speaker 1: coolest guys in the world. Rob Paulson is also going

Speaker 6: It's here, huge project you undertook here and I'm delighted
Speaker 6: to be a part of it.
Speaker 2: Thank you for letting me know play at all.
Speaker 5: How are you working on this? Will?
Speaker 6: Uh?
Speaker 5: Do you like what? Six months ago?
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's been it's been a while. So this is
Speaker 1: We went from forty five hundred entries to down to
Speaker 1: today the final two forty five one hundred people.
Speaker 2: Then we auditioned for animaniacs.
Speaker 1: And we listened to all of them. We listened to
Speaker 1: everybody's audition, and we got it down to the final sixteen.
Speaker 1: We've been saying for the beginning, and very quick shout
Speaker 1: outs to Julia from Virginia, Dylan from Louisiana, Hayden from Washington,
Speaker 1: Danielle from Tennessee, Matthew from Delaware, Dowd from Illinois but
Speaker 1: pronounced David, Mike from Florida, Tatiana from California, Adam from Illinois,
Speaker 1: I Lean from North Carolina, all Win from Florida, Paul
Speaker 1: from Pennsylvania, Hailey from Texas, and Austin from Virginia. Our
Speaker 1: final fourteen that did not They made it so far

Speaker 2: They should take pride in having.
Speaker 1: Achieved that level, right, they were great, Be proud and
Speaker 1: for Andrea to give you guys kudos, that's a big
Speaker 1: pardon me deal. Oh no, I know, believe me. I
Speaker 1: know this too. And I went to her on bended
Speaker 1: knee and I said, I know you are so enjoying
Speaker 1: your retirement, but would you please come and direct some young.
Speaker 5: Actors get the chance?
Speaker 1: Jumped? She did not even think about it. That's one
Speaker 1: thing I would like to shout out before we get
Speaker 1: into our actual game, and I will explain our game
Speaker 1: to everybody. The the finals are going to be a
Speaker 1: little bit different and a little bit crazy, but the
Speaker 1: voiceover community is one of the most loving, giving, inclusive, talented.
Speaker 1: Mark you picked the superlative and it fits into our
Speaker 1: community and it could not have shown more than with
Speaker 1: this show and this contest. Every person. I don't think
Speaker 1: we got to know there are some people who couldn't
Speaker 1: do it due to scheduling, but nobody said I don't
Speaker 1: want to be involved? What are you doing giving other
Speaker 1: actors a chance? It was all this is amazing, what
Speaker 1: a wonderful idea. How can I help? What do you
Speaker 1: need from me? It is the most wonderful community I've
Speaker 1: ever been associated with, and I'm honored every day to
Speaker 1: even slightly consider myself a voiceover actor because the men
Speaker 1: and women that I work with are so much better
Speaker 1: than me.
Speaker 2: But it's I want to say, credit A lot of
Speaker 2: the reason too.
Speaker 6: You have to credit, and you may not do this,
Speaker 6: but one must credit. Why so many people said yes
Speaker 6: was because of Wilfredell.
Speaker 5: You are a delight.
Speaker 1: It is a wonderful business to be in with incredible people,
Speaker 1: and now we're going to get a new person joining
Speaker 1: our ranks. So the Super Awesome Contest we are down
Speaker 1: to Mia from Florida and Hannah from Alabama, and what
Speaker 1: we're actually going to be doing today is putting it
Speaker 1: all together. So the first round we did was a
Speaker 1: round called by the Numbers, where everybody, by random number pick,
Speaker 1: got to have a character determined for them and then
Speaker 1: read a preset number of lines. The second round we
Speaker 1: did was called Extra Extra read all about it, and
Speaker 1: it was all about adreads. The third round, of course,
Speaker 1: which Andrea helped us direct, was actually called get into
Speaker 1: the booth, and you got in there and recorded an
Speaker 1: actual session the way that we would have done in
Speaker 1: the booth. Now we're going to put them all together.
Speaker 1: So in round one, what we were going to be
Speaker 1: doing is the same way we did last round. We
Speaker 1: are going to be recording. I am going to be
Speaker 1: recording with the contestant, and we are Andrea is going
Speaker 1: to direct us as if we were in a booth.
Speaker 1: After the first round, they have to jump immediately with
Speaker 1: no break into reading the ad read. Then we are
Speaker 1: going to switch characters. The difference this time is before
Speaker 1: they get to read their second character, we will once
Speaker 1: again be playing by the numbers, and Andrea and Rob
Speaker 1: will pick random numbers which will determine how they will
Speaker 1: read the character the second time around. So it's going
Speaker 1: to get crazy. We're putting it all together. We're putting
Speaker 1: them through their paces. Nobody said we were going to
Speaker 1: make this easy, but we are going to pick I'm
Speaker 1: not going to say the best because they're both phenomenal contestants.
Speaker 1: And with that being said, why don't we bring them
Speaker 1: in one at a time, say hello, tell them what
Speaker 1: they're going to be doing, and then we will start
Speaker 1: our fun game. So I think was Mia first? I
Speaker 1: believe Mia was first. Hell and there's Mia. Welcome back, Mia,
Speaker 1: congratulations on making it to the finals. Andrea Ramana will
Speaker 1: once again be directing you and our guest actor judge
Speaker 1: this week is the amazing Redoubtable, which is one of
Speaker 1: my favorite words ever. Rob Paulson, who will be joining
Speaker 1: us to meet you.
Speaker 5: Oh, it's my great pleasure. What a beautiful face you have.
Speaker 5: Don't be such a stick in the mud.
Speaker 1: Sure, well you were first, so we will be back
Speaker 1: to you. But we are just going to come and
Speaker 1: say hello to you. We're now going to say hello
Speaker 1: to your Your fellow contestant is down to the final two,
Speaker 1: so we will see what happens. We will be back
Speaker 1: with you in a second. Mia, Thanks so much. It's
Speaker 1: great seeing you again.
Speaker 5: Oh my goodness, she's precious, isn't she great?
Speaker 1: And as is Hannah from Alabama? Hannahbama, who she's been called?
Speaker 5: There she is?
Speaker 3: Helloabama?
Speaker 1: How are you? I'm doing well? How are y'all doing good?
Speaker 1: How are you feeling today?
Speaker 5: You know?
Speaker 7: I'm here.
Speaker 1: You feeling good, I'm I'm feeling something. I know. That's great.
Speaker 1: Channel the energy, use it right.
Speaker 2: Have fun, have fun, that's the most important.
Speaker 1: Yes, no matter what happens today, you are in the
Speaker 1: final two out of forty five hundred insane. So congratulations.
Speaker 1: Your fellow contestant was here first, so we will be
Speaker 1: starting with them, but we will be back to you
Speaker 1: in a second. You have your script? Do you have everything?
Speaker 8: I have everything?
Speaker 1: All right, we'll see it a bit. Thank you so much. Okay,
Speaker 1: all right, everybody, here we go. It is on the finals.
Speaker 1: After we have been here. Let's bring Mia back in
Speaker 1: and we are going to start with our scene. Here
Speaker 1: we go, Mia, So let me explain a little bit
Speaker 1: about what we're gonna do today. I'm gonna be reading
Speaker 1: with you, and we're gonna do it exactly like we
Speaker 1: did last time. We're gonna read it just like we
Speaker 1: do in the booth. We are not going to be
Speaker 1: reading any of the stage directions. So for everybody listening
Speaker 1: out there, we will of course, as we always have.
Speaker 1: Our amazing producer of the Rain puts up the scripts
Speaker 1: for everybody on Instagram so you can read along and
Speaker 1: find out what's going on, but to just kind of
Speaker 1: give everybody a quick little breakdown so you know what's
Speaker 1: going on. We are going to be starting in a
Speaker 1: candy factory. It is the candy factory at night. We
Speaker 1: push in on a giant barrel that says rejects candy
Speaker 1: for destruction, and two different pieces of candy are going
Speaker 1: to come up and have a little scene and a conversation.
Speaker 1: So other than that, we are not going to give
Speaker 1: any more direction the first time around. Here's the other
Speaker 1: thing that is going to differ from the last time.
Speaker 1: When we are finished with the scene without any break,
Speaker 1: without anything, I mean, you can take a breath, obviously,
Speaker 1: but you are going to go right into the commercial read.
Speaker 1: So you're going to finish your scene and then essentially
Speaker 1: imagine that you are watching a cartoon and we go
Speaker 1: right to a commercial and you are also the voiceover
Speaker 1: actor reading for the commercial. So we won't give you
Speaker 1: We're not gonna give you any notes to start with.
Speaker 1: We are just gonna jump in and go from there.
Speaker 1: You will be playing Sammy and I will be playing Albert. Oh,
Speaker 1: So here we go, Andrea on your cue.
Speaker 6: Please, we are at the top of the script ready
Speaker 6: and we're rolling.
Speaker 1: The coast is clear?
Speaker 9: Keep your voice down? Do you want to get us caught?
Speaker 10: Sorry, yelling is the opposite of keeping your voice down.
Speaker 11: Oh, opposite means chocolate flavored?
Speaker 1: No, it doesn't.
Speaker 9: I've told you that one hundred times, have you.
Speaker 1: I don't remember that? Oh wait, yeah, nope, nope, still
Speaker 1: don't remember. Sorry. Hey, Sammy, why are we escaping again?
Speaker 10: Because for some crazy reason, we are relegated to the
Speaker 10: reject pile and if we don't get out of here,
Speaker 10: they're going to melt us down.
Speaker 1: Oh that sounds bad.
Speaker 11: It's bad, right, Yes, Albert, it's bad.
Speaker 1: Huh. Hey, am I as good an escaper as you?
Speaker 10: Well, seeing as we haven't actually escaped yet, I'm thinking no.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I keep forgetting that you have to escape
Speaker 1: first to actually be a good escaper. Am I always
Speaker 1: forgetting stuff like this because my head got smushed.
Speaker 7: Hm.
Speaker 9: I'm guessing that's only a small part of it.
Speaker 1: Now, why are you in the bad bind, Sammy? You're
Speaker 1: so pretty?
Speaker 9: H I am Albert.
Speaker 10: I am the prettiest fish that this factory has ever made,
Speaker 10: the prettiest.
Speaker 9: Fish that has ever been made.
Speaker 10: But none of that matters. When the world you were
Speaker 10: caught Pardon.
Speaker 9: I am Albert.
Speaker 10: I am the prettiest fish that this factory has ever made,
Speaker 10: the prettiest fish that has ever been made. But none
Speaker 10: of that matters when the world you were brought into
Speaker 10: is a cesspool of awfulness, covered and even more awfulness,
Speaker 10: and then dipped and nuts that have been sprayed with.
Speaker 9: Spread girls, no more awfulness?
Speaker 1: Well, then, why are you in the bin?
Speaker 10: I ever heard some of the workers talking. Apparently something
Speaker 10: went wrong with my recipe. Oh no, yeah, I'm two
Speaker 10: sour stupid jerks.
Speaker 1: I don't think that's true. Sammy, you're a little sour.
Speaker 7: It's because of this place.
Speaker 10: You Just wait until I get out of here. I'm
Speaker 10: gonna be the sweetest fish that you've ever met.
Speaker 1: Why would you be sweetish?
Speaker 11: Sweetest fist?
Speaker 9: Not sweetish? Are you trying to get us sued?
Speaker 1: Oh? Sorry? So well, what do we do next?
Speaker 10: First we have to get down from this bin. Next
Speaker 10: we have to make it across the factory floor. Then
Speaker 10: we have to open that big door by dead loading dock,
Speaker 10: and lastly we have to make our way to the city,
Speaker 10: where we'll find jobs and a studio apartment.
Speaker 9: I'm Okay, if the closet is not big, but I'm
Speaker 9: going to have to insist on a.
Speaker 7: Washer and dryer. That's got to be a deal breaker.
Speaker 1: For me, right right, So first we have to get
Speaker 1: past that big dog.
Speaker 9: No, at first we have to go were you even listening?
Speaker 1: Nah, I was looking at the really big dog.
Speaker 7: The why.
Speaker 10: Just because I have a small apartment, that doesn't mean
Speaker 10: that I have a small apetside. And just because my
Speaker 10: building frowns on indoor open flames are dangerous levels.
Speaker 9: Of carbon monoxide, that doesn't mean that.
Speaker 10: I don't need to occasionally throw down some meat and grill, grill, grill. Well,
Speaker 10: with Blover's new indoor smokeless grill, I can live like
Speaker 10: a carnivore and not worry about turning the place down
Speaker 10: or killing my neighbors with dangerous poisonous gas.
Speaker 5: You know, using.
Speaker 10: Patented fire stuff technology, Blover has taken all of the
Speaker 10: heat and smoke of a real fire and made it
Speaker 10: relatively safe for indoor use. Now I can cook my
Speaker 10: meat by my bed, and the only thing I'll have
Speaker 10: to worry.
Speaker 9: About is my alarmingly high chlysterol level.
Speaker 10: Blover's indoor smokeless grills be a hunter again. Levisers are
Speaker 10: not non certified for use in apartment buildings or of dooors,
Speaker 10: not suitable for most meats, vegetables or some Jesus late
Speaker 10: Lela and California or in Mexico.
Speaker 1: I'm going to throw it to our expert panel. Any
Speaker 1: notes that we can think about for the next time
Speaker 1: we come around.
Speaker 2: I do have a few, and then Rob, if you
Speaker 2: have some thoughts. I loved that man. First, thank you,
Speaker 2: really really good, Mia, really good.
Speaker 6: I love the fact that you used your sweet voice,
Speaker 6: your youthful, young, cutesy cartoony if you will voice for
Speaker 6: this character. They talk about it as you're reading the stage,
Speaker 6: Rex and stuff, sour, sour, sour, and she scowls and stuff.
Speaker 2: I'm wondering if we can't find a way to keep
Speaker 2: that sweet voice but make her somewhat meaner. Do you
Speaker 2: know what I mean? Fight that sweet.
Speaker 6: Voice and make her She is sour, she is bitter,
Speaker 6: she is cranky, and so it seems to be almost
Speaker 6: at the very beginning, and again, well, really funny copy,
Speaker 6: Oh thank you so so he's going to give you
Speaker 6: a nice, big entrance, right the coast is clear, you say,
Speaker 6: she keep your voice down, and then he then what
Speaker 6: does he do the opposite?
Speaker 2: Sorry? And then I would love to see you.
Speaker 6: Use that next fight, which I'll call a line for
Speaker 6: yelling is the opposite of keeping your voice down, a
Speaker 6: much more forced whisper, so it is still a whisper,
Speaker 6: but it's loud and it's angry.
Speaker 2: So you guys, can we just run those first four
Speaker 2: lines again? But I really, do you understand?
Speaker 6: That knows me to understand what I'm happening right now,
Speaker 6: Let's just try it with that little bit right ready,
Speaker 6: when you're ready, we're rolling the coast.
Speaker 10: Is clear, Keep your voice down? Do you want to
Speaker 10: get us caught?
Speaker 1: All right?
Speaker 9: Chilling is the opposite of keeping your voice down.
Speaker 2: That's it.
Speaker 6: That's exactly what I was talking about as a much
Speaker 6: better entrance. That sets the scene so much better.
Speaker 2: Thank you. And then I had one other note.
Speaker 6: I want to go over to page two, the big
Speaker 6: speech at the I am Albert, the pretty I am Albert.
Speaker 6: I'm the prettiest fision of this factory it's ever made,
Speaker 6: And there I want to play with that anger, bitter
Speaker 6: sourness as well.
Speaker 2: Just a nice big block for you to play with me.
Speaker 6: Just give you a pick up there at I called
Speaker 6: it line eighteen to have a number four for whatever
Speaker 6: you're ready?
Speaker 9: Yeah, Can I ask a question about it real quick?
Speaker 1: Of course?
Speaker 8: Awesome?
Speaker 10: Okay, So do you want me to like, you know,
Speaker 10: like start off kind of full of herself and then
Speaker 10: like get more like cranky as she goes down, or
Speaker 10: like what like you know, I'll.
Speaker 2: Tell you what I want to do. Rob.
Speaker 1: I want you to Rob, excuse me, I've already been recast.
Speaker 2: I want you to read her in with line nub.
Speaker 2: Why are you in the bin? Why are you in
Speaker 2: the bin? Sammy? You're so pretty?
Speaker 6: And I want you to respond. So he's going to
Speaker 6: read you in three times each time. I want you
Speaker 6: to respond with just I am Albert, three different ways.
Speaker 2: Okay, keeping that note in mind, But dude, maybe you want.
Speaker 6: To start small, bitter, big, bigger, bitterer, larger bit with
Speaker 6: three different, completely different versions, and then we'll make a
Speaker 6: decision as to how to do the rest of it.
Speaker 2: Okay, and we'll read you in when you're ready.
Speaker 1: Why are you in the bad bind? Sammy? You're so pretty?
Speaker 9: I am Albert. I am Albert, I am Albert.
Speaker 2: Okay, all those were kind of sweet. I want to get,
Speaker 2: you know, a little bit more of that.
Speaker 6: I'm so angry about this as your subtext, okay, and
Speaker 6: I want him to read you in all three times,
Speaker 6: so I want him to read it, and you're.
Speaker 2: Gonna read it. He's gonna read it again.
Speaker 1: Why are you in the bad bind? Sammy? You're so pretty?
Speaker 7: I am Albert.
Speaker 1: Why are you in the bad bin? Then, Sammy? I mean,
Speaker 1: you're so pretty.
Speaker 9: I am Albert.
Speaker 1: Why are you in the bad bind? Sammy? You're so pretty?
Speaker 7: I am Albert.
Speaker 5: Very nice?
Speaker 6: All three valid versions of how to start that, So
Speaker 6: now use that last word I am, But it's almost
Speaker 6: a clenched.
Speaker 10: Jaw kind of like I was getting, like kind of
Speaker 10: like depresso, like, oh, you're right, God, I don't.
Speaker 2: Know, well, I kind of like the deep angry, like
Speaker 2: I'm so angry.
Speaker 6: I'm trying not to yell at you because it's not
Speaker 6: really your fault, but I'm sorry.
Speaker 2: I don't belong here.
Speaker 6: So and what I want to do is some kind
Speaker 6: of build that happens in the script. Okay, right, run
Speaker 6: that little section again, just from and I'll read one
Speaker 6: more time, will if you will get it?
Speaker 2: Run the whole one.
Speaker 1: Okay, why are you in the bad band, Sammy? You're
Speaker 1: so pretty?
Speaker 7: I am Albert.
Speaker 10: I am the prettiest fish that this factory has ever made,
Speaker 10: the prettiest fish that has ever been made. But none
Speaker 10: of that matters when the world you were brought into
Speaker 10: is a cesspool of awfulness, covered and even more awfulness.
Speaker 9: And then tipped and nuts that have been sprayed with.
Speaker 5: Very good.
Speaker 2: That was very good. That was much more interesting. Do
Speaker 2: you see what I'm saying?
Speaker 5: Yes?
Speaker 9: I loved it so much more.
Speaker 2: Thank you, my pleasure entirely.
Speaker 6: Beck All, I have I want to talk about the
Speaker 6: commercial separately if I may, Yes, so, Rob, do you
Speaker 6: have notes for her for the body of the speech?
Speaker 5: No, I just have some stuff about the commercial.
Speaker 2: And okay, you know, why don't you take the commercial up?
Speaker 5: Really lovely, Mia, really on the commercial.
Speaker 4: I would love to hear you do it, just as
Speaker 4: just as though you were talking about ozempic like my've
Speaker 4: really lowered my A one C. And the copy obviously
Speaker 4: is written in such a way that it draws attention
Speaker 4: to himself because it's all absurd.
Speaker 5: So I would like to have you read it in
Speaker 5: a very matter.
Speaker 4: Of fact way with absolutely belief in what you're saying.
Speaker 4: Don't play the comedy of the words. They're funny the
Speaker 4: way they're written, and they're absurd, all right, or just
Speaker 4: try that.
Speaker 7: Okay.
Speaker 10: Just because I have a small apartment, that doesn't mean
Speaker 10: that I have a small appetite. And just because my
Speaker 10: building on indoor open flames or dangerous levels of carbon monoxide,
Speaker 10: that doesn't mean that I don't need to occasionally throw
Speaker 10: down some meat and grill, grill, grill well with bluff,
Speaker 10: pardon well. With Blover's new indoor smokeless Grail, I can
Speaker 10: live like a carnivore and not worry about burning the
Speaker 10: place down or killing my neighbors with dangerous poison gas.
Speaker 10: Using potential fire stuff technology, Blover's has taken all of
Speaker 10: the heat and smoke of a real fire and made
Speaker 10: it relatively safe for indoor use. Now I can cook
Speaker 10: my meat by my bed, and the only thing I'll
Speaker 10: have to worry about is my alarmingly high cholesterol level.
Speaker 10: Blover's indoor Smokeless Girls be a hunter again. Blover's Girls
Speaker 10: are not certified for use in most apartment buildings or
Speaker 10: outdoors not suitable for meats. Vegetables or some cheeses not
Speaker 10: egal in California or New Mexico.
Speaker 4: Blowing through the legal copy is exactly don't be afraid
Speaker 4: to take some chances, conversational and colloquial.
Speaker 10: Try to Okay, Hey, just because I have a small apartment,
Speaker 10: that doesn't mean that I have a small appetite. And
Speaker 10: just because my building frowns on indoor open flames or
Speaker 10: dangerous levels of carbon monoxide, that doesn't mean that I
Speaker 10: don't need to occasionally throw down some meat and grill.
Speaker 7: Grill, grill.
Speaker 8: Well.
Speaker 10: With Blover's new indoor smokeless grill, I can live like
Speaker 10: a carnivore, not worry about burning the blaze down or
Speaker 10: killing my neighbors with dangerous poisonous gas.
Speaker 7: Using patented fire stuff technology.
Speaker 10: Bliver's has taken all of the heat and smoke of
Speaker 10: a real fire and made it relatively safe for indoor use.
Speaker 10: Now I can cook my meat by my bed, and
Speaker 10: the only thing I'll have to worry about is.
Speaker 9: My alarmly hay cholesterol level. Blover's indoor smokeless grills be
Speaker 9: a hunter.
Speaker 4: Again when you go to Blover's has taken all of
Speaker 4: the heat and smoke of real fire and made it
Speaker 4: give yourself a beat before, relatively safe and made it,
Speaker 4: you know, however you would like to however you would
Speaker 4: like to use. You are aware, You're not stupid, You're
Speaker 4: aware that it is it is lethal. But and so
Speaker 4: instead of saying kind of lethal, you're saying it's relatively safe.
Speaker 5: You know what I mean?
Speaker 4: Up if you would from just going from using patented
Speaker 4: fire stuff through for indoor use.
Speaker 10: Using patented fire stuff technology, Blommers has taken all of
Speaker 10: the heat and smoke of real fire and made it
Speaker 10: relatively say for indoor use.
Speaker 8: Great, great, ron Mia, Thank you of your small.
Speaker 4: Yeah, leave some for the other girls.
Speaker 1: Thank you. We will be right back with you.
Speaker 2: Well done.
Speaker 1: If we're being uh, you know, we've got to start
Speaker 1: nitpicking is the problem. Her her v O work, her
Speaker 1: animation work is better so far than her ad reads.
Speaker 1: And it's also, I mean's exactly what you were showing.
Speaker 1: What we're both showing is one of the things that
Speaker 1: we're looking for. We've said, as somebody who they're going
Speaker 1: to win today, they could be in the booth tomorrow.
Speaker 1: And one of the things you have to do when
Speaker 1: you get ad copy or script is find those moments.
Speaker 1: You have to find those beats, and there's not always
Speaker 1: going to be a great director or a great actor
Speaker 1: there that's going to point them out to you. So
Speaker 1: that's another thing we're looking for as somebody who's taking
Speaker 1: those moments and finding those beats and yeah, and taking
Speaker 1: the direction. So well, let's with that said, let's go
Speaker 1: see what Hanna Obama, Haskay, Hey Hannah, Hello, how are you?
Speaker 1: I'm here? All right, So what we're going to be
Speaker 1: doing is the first go around, we are not going
Speaker 1: to say anything. We're just going to let you go
Speaker 1: through the script. I'm going to be playing Albert, you're
Speaker 1: going to be playing Sammy, and there's going to be
Speaker 1: no The one difference here is there's going to be
Speaker 1: no break between the two. So you're going to get through.
Speaker 1: We're going to get through the scene and you can
Speaker 1: take a breath, and then you're going to go right
Speaker 1: into the ad read. So it's like you're reading the
Speaker 1: copy for your own own television show, if that's cool.
Speaker 1: And we won't be reading like last time, we won't
Speaker 1: be reading any of the stage direction. We're going to
Speaker 1: do it straight up like an old radio play, like
Speaker 1: we would be recording in a booth. Perfect you good?
Speaker 1: I'm good? All right? So here we go, Andrea, if
Speaker 1: you would get us started, We're going to start at.
Speaker 2: Line one with Albert. When you're ready, we are rolling.
Speaker 1: The coast is clear.
Speaker 7: Do you want us to get caught?
Speaker 1: Sorry?
Speaker 7: Oh, yelling is the opposite giving your voice down?
Speaker 11: Opposite means chocolate flavored.
Speaker 7: Oh no it doesn't. I've told you that one hundred.
Speaker 1: Times, have you. I don't remember that? Oh wait, nope,
Speaker 1: still don't remember. Uh, I'm sorry, Sammy. Why are we
Speaker 1: escaping again?
Speaker 7: Because for some crazy reason you were relegated to the
Speaker 7: reject pile. And if we don't get out of if
Speaker 7: you're going to melt us down, that sounds bad.
Speaker 11: It's bad, right, yes, Albert, it's bad.
Speaker 1: Am I as good an escaping as.
Speaker 7: You, well, seeing as we actually haven't escaped yet.
Speaker 1: Thinking no, oh yeah, I keep forgetting that you have
Speaker 1: to escape first to actually be a good escaper. Am I
Speaker 1: always forgetting stuff like this because my head got smushed.
Speaker 7: I'm guessing that's only a small part of it.
Speaker 1: Why are you in the bad bin, Sammy? I mean
Speaker 1: you're so pretty?
Speaker 7: Oh I am Albert? I am the prettiest fish that
Speaker 7: this factory isn't made, the prettiest fish that has ever
Speaker 7: been made. But none of that matters. When the world
Speaker 7: you were brought into was a souciable of awfulness. We
Speaker 7: heard to need more awfulness. The dicked to nonsense frayed
Speaker 7: with spreak offulness.
Speaker 1: Huh, well, then why are you in the bin?
Speaker 7: I overheard some workers talking, apparently something wrong with my recipe.
Speaker 7: Oh no, yeah, I'm two sour stupid jerks.
Speaker 1: I'm don't think that's true. Sammy, you're a little tower best.
Speaker 7: Please you just wait till I get out of here.
Speaker 7: I'm going to be the sweetest fitch you've ever met.
Speaker 1: Why would you be Swedish?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 7: Sweet test fish, not sweetish? Are you trying to get
Speaker 7: a sued?
Speaker 1: Okay, so what do we do next?
Speaker 7: Okay, first we have to get down from the spin.
Speaker 7: Next we have to make it across the factory floor.
Speaker 7: Then we have to open the big door by the
Speaker 7: loading dock.
Speaker 1: And lastly, when.
Speaker 7: We make our way to the city, we'll find jobs
Speaker 7: in the studio apartment. And I'm okay if the closet
Speaker 7: isn't that bad, but I'm going to have to insist
Speaker 7: on a washer and dryer.
Speaker 11: That's going to be a deal breaker for me.
Speaker 1: Right, right, So first we have to get past that
Speaker 1: big dog.
Speaker 7: No, first we have to Oh were you even listening?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 1: I was looking at the big dog?
Speaker 5: Who what er? Great m.
Speaker 8: Just because just because I have a small apartment, that
Speaker 8: doesn't mean I have a small appetite. And just because
Speaker 8: my building frowns on indoor open flames and dangerous levels
Speaker 8: of carbon monoxide, that doesn't mean that I don't need
Speaker 8: to occasionally throw down some meat and grill grill grillel Well,
Speaker 8: with Bleover's new indoor smokeless grills, I can live like
Speaker 8: a carnivore and not worry about burning the place down
Speaker 8: or killing my neighbors with dangerous poison gas. Using patented
Speaker 8: fire stuff technology, Glover's has taken all the heat and
Speaker 8: smoke of real fire and made it relatively safe for
Speaker 8: indoor use. Now I can cook my meat by my bed,
Speaker 8: and the only thing I have to worry about is
Speaker 8: my alarmingly high cholesterol level. Bleover's indoor smokeless grills be.
Speaker 11: A hunter again.
Speaker 7: Bloffer's grills are not certified for most use in apartment
Speaker 7: buildings or outdoors not suitable for most meat, vegetables, or
Speaker 7: some cheeses not legal in California or New Mexico.
Speaker 1: Yay, no, you that was great handah man, you just
Speaker 1: changed on a dime.
Speaker 4: The first Sammy was nothing like the lady who likes
Speaker 4: to cook meat.
Speaker 5: By her bed.
Speaker 4: Forgive me for jumping in, Drea, I I just uh,
Speaker 4: I was so impressed by you. Literally did take what
Speaker 4: a beat and a half and just boom and it
Speaker 4: was just lovely.
Speaker 7: I thank you, thank you.
Speaker 6: I wanted to deal with a couple of lines from
Speaker 6: the first part of the copy. Okay, we had a
Speaker 6: little technical maybe you guys didn't have the same technical problems,
Speaker 6: but at the very top of the copy there were
Speaker 6: several words of yours that just plane dropped out.
Speaker 1: I did today for the first time, Hannah, which you've
Speaker 1: never done before. You're spiking, which is which is strange.
Speaker 1: You know as it went on, will it did it
Speaker 1: got better?
Speaker 2: Well?
Speaker 1: It's it's what we were noticing earlier in the competition
Speaker 1: is when people got hiring their registers with certain types
Speaker 1: of microphone, especially with more people on a zoom, it
Speaker 1: would compress, so it would it would. So we're going
Speaker 1: to would run.
Speaker 6: The beginning again, the first part of the scene, just
Speaker 6: so I can hear it clearer. And then I do
Speaker 6: have a specific note about it, which is, keep your
Speaker 6: voice down. You want to get caught? Sorry, yelling is
Speaker 6: I mean, really, you're he's an idiot, friend, but he's
Speaker 6: clearly an idiot.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 2: And I think if this character, if.
Speaker 6: I'm reading it correctly as the author intended, she's sour.
Speaker 2: She's meant to be sour, right, She's she's supposed to be,
Speaker 2: So I'd like to hear some of that.
Speaker 6: In her performance, Okay, even angry at him, even though
Speaker 6: he's kind of her friend.
Speaker 1: Ready, Yes, honey, you good?
Speaker 5: All right?
Speaker 2: When you're ready? Will we're really.
Speaker 1: The coast is clear.
Speaker 7: Keep your voice down?
Speaker 11: Do you want us stick get caught?
Speaker 2: All right?
Speaker 9: Yelling is the opposite. Keeping your voice.
Speaker 11: Down opposite means acol flavor.
Speaker 7: It doesn't I told you that one hundred times, have you?
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't remember that. Oh wait, no, I
Speaker 1: still don't remember. I'm sorry.
Speaker 2: That's great, that's great. Okay, That's what I just needed
Speaker 2: to hear it, Hannah.
Speaker 6: Okay, Okay, starting with Sammy saying because for some crazy reason,
Speaker 6: we are relegated to the reject pile. For me, it
Speaker 6: starts on page two, yes, and I just want to
Speaker 6: run like the next three or four lines will if
Speaker 6: you'd read that with her, I need to get a
Speaker 6: little bit of urgency, Hannah with.
Speaker 2: Okay, if we don't get out of here, we're gonna
Speaker 2: get melted down.
Speaker 6: Right now, it was just kind of informational, but there
Speaker 6: wasn't really much context as to how do you feel
Speaker 6: about that? So let me hear the urgency about that,
Speaker 6: and then and again when we get.
Speaker 2: To yes, Albert, it's bad, a little more impatience with
Speaker 2: what an idiot he is? Okay, right, So started from actually,
Speaker 2: we'll wantn't you meet in with? Sorry, Sammy, why aren't
Speaker 2: we escaping?
Speaker 1: Yes, ma'am, you're ready, we're rolling. Sorry Sammy, why are
Speaker 1: we escaping again?
Speaker 10: Because we're some crazy reason we were relegated to the
Speaker 10: reject pile and if you don't get out of here,
Speaker 10: they're going to build us down.
Speaker 1: That's not bad.
Speaker 11: It's bad, right, It's Albert, it's bad.
Speaker 2: That's it. That's it, much better, much better, Mom, Did
Speaker 2: you want to give her any other notes on the
Speaker 2: on the.
Speaker 4: Not just because I I just I'm having so much
Speaker 4: fun with this. I'd like to try that little paragraph
Speaker 4: where Sammy scowls after he says, why are you in
Speaker 4: the bad being?
Speaker 5: Sammy? You're so pretty? And you I would I would like.
Speaker 4: You to start out being a little more morose. Look
Speaker 4: for places where you can actually add a different punctuation,
Speaker 4: you can end a sentence, not necessarily where it.
Speaker 5: Is you can.
Speaker 4: It's it's like it's authentic thinking out loud.
Speaker 5: So just try that.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, so I'll read you in. Here we
Speaker 1: go perfect? Why are you in the bad beIN? Sammy?
Speaker 12: You're so pretty, Albert, I'm the prettiest this factory has
Speaker 12: ever made, the prettiest fish that has ever been made.
Speaker 12: But none of that matters when the world you were
Speaker 12: brought into is a cesspool filled with awfulness, covered in
Speaker 12: even more awfulness than dipped in nuts that have been
Speaker 12: sprayed with breckirals. Oh no, more awfulness.
Speaker 4: Great, try out one more time the first line, You're
Speaker 4: so pretty.
Speaker 5: And that can be very matter of fact, like, oh yeah,
Speaker 5: I know that I can just try that.
Speaker 1: Sure, sure, sure are you ready?
Speaker 6: Yes?
Speaker 1: Why are you in the bad Bend, Sammy, you're so pretty.
Speaker 7: I am Albert, I am the prettiest fish that this
Speaker 7: factory has ever made, the prettiest fish that has ever
Speaker 7: been made. None of that matters. And when the world
Speaker 7: you were brought into is a cesspool full of is
Speaker 7: a cesspool of awfulness, covered with even more awfulness than
Speaker 7: dipped and nuts that have been sprayed with bretas, no
Speaker 7: more awfulness.
Speaker 5: Greg, thank you very much. That was really lovely, really good.
Speaker 7: Hannah, thank you so much.
Speaker 1: We will be right back with you. So it's tough
Speaker 1: because I think Mio was better with the vo and
Speaker 1: I think that Hannah was better with the ad read.
Speaker 2: I agree, yeah, ye, at.
Speaker 1: The end of the day, I at least that first round,
Speaker 1: I think Mia found more beats than Hannah did in
Speaker 1: the animation portion and thus equated to better acting frankly
Speaker 1: in the in the first round, agreed. But then you
Speaker 1: get to the ad read, where a lot of actors
Speaker 1: make a fortune and do a great job. And Hannah
Speaker 1: was really good.
Speaker 4: She definitely, in this small snippet, appeared to be a
Speaker 4: little more versatile, and I know Andrea.
Speaker 5: Is very used to this.
Speaker 4: In fact, this is a good question, Andrea, how do
Speaker 4: you figure.
Speaker 5: In nerves to read.
Speaker 4: With a young actor who's going, oh my god, I
Speaker 4: really need this job.
Speaker 1: Great question, it's.
Speaker 2: An excellent question.
Speaker 6: And what I try to do is get them out
Speaker 6: of their own heads so they're not thinking about it anymore.
Speaker 2: And so you'll give whatever note let them run.
Speaker 6: And it's organic and it has to happen at the
Speaker 6: time with each individual actor what they respond to. And
Speaker 6: sometimes it's just as simple as asking them to step
Speaker 6: back from the microphone, shake it out, you know, reach,
Speaker 6: touch your toes, come back up.
Speaker 2: Start again. We're rolling.
Speaker 6: And you know what I do as much as possible
Speaker 6: is just encourage them. Would just be as encouraging as possibility.
Speaker 6: You know what, there's nothing that you can do here
Speaker 6: that's wrong.
Speaker 2: We want to hear you act.
Speaker 6: We just want to hear you do this stuff. We're here.
Speaker 6: We want you to do well. So you know, what
Speaker 6: can I do to help you? So sometimes giving them
Speaker 6: that option, what can I tell you? What can I
Speaker 6: do for you that will make that will help you?
Speaker 6: But it's an interesting thing. I mean, I remember Chuck McCain,
Speaker 6: Remember chucklicking well, sure, remember him, especially.
Speaker 2: Into a flop swept in an audition.
Speaker 6: For men established successful actor just losing it because he
Speaker 6: was so nervous.
Speaker 2: He wanted this role so much, and I had to
Speaker 2: get him out of his head. I had to like pull,
Speaker 2: you know, give him a towel to dry off, and
Speaker 2: let's let's chuck. I love you.
Speaker 5: How fun.
Speaker 6: Yeah, everything has to be done with differently, Robert, it's
Speaker 6: a really good question.
Speaker 2: But she definitely had a nervous issue.
Speaker 1: She did. She did, and it's the first time I've
Speaker 1: seen it. She's been ice cold this entire competition. I mean, really,
Speaker 1: this entire competition, at least at least to the point
Speaker 1: where she's been hiding it very well because I'm sure
Speaker 1: she was nervous. We're all gett nervous. I I got
Speaker 1: nervous yesterday driving to my job. I mean, it happens
Speaker 1: all the time. So but she hit it very well
Speaker 1: until today where you really kind of see it. But again,
Speaker 1: we're you know, we're we're stewing these people. I mean,
Speaker 1: right now, they're all sitting there in the quiet and
Speaker 1: there's zoom in their rooms, wondering what's going to happen.
Speaker 1: Your nerves are getting better of you. So yeah, it's
Speaker 1: an interesting question. But with that said, let's let's make
Speaker 1: it even more difficult on them and bring it back in.
Speaker 1: I would uh, since you are are our guest actor
Speaker 1: judge today, Rob, I'm going to use the once again
Speaker 1: the beautiful Rider Strong from Boy Meets World's Head Oh
Speaker 1: as the coin of the day. So Mia is Rider's
Speaker 1: middle part and h Hannah is the back here. Can
Speaker 1: you tell me heads or tails? Uh? So yeah, heads
Speaker 1: or tails to who goes first for the next round?
Speaker 5: Okay, uh.
Speaker 1: Tales it is heads? Like once again, have to look
Speaker 1: at Ryder Strong's stupid face all the time. So let's
Speaker 1: bring Mia in. Hi, miya, Hello? How are you?
Speaker 9: I'm good?
Speaker 2: Thank you for being so patient.
Speaker 1: Of course we know it's crazy. So here's what we'd
Speaker 1: like to do. I think we told you a little bit.
Speaker 1: We're gonna switch rolls. You're now going to be Albert
Speaker 1: and I am going to be Sammy. But we are
Speaker 1: going to have Rob and Andrea up pick the character
Speaker 1: you are going to do. So Rob, if you would, please, sir,
Speaker 1: can you give me a number between one and six.
Speaker 5: Four?
Speaker 1: Andrea? Could you give me a number between one and
Speaker 1: twelve eleven? Rob a number between one and seven two,
Speaker 1: and Andrea, please, if you would to finish it off
Speaker 1: a number between one and eleven.
Speaker 2: Uh six?
Speaker 1: Okay? So okay, Mia, you are going to be reading
Speaker 1: this character as a small MERR person. Oh you are
Speaker 1: five years old, baby, and the love of your life
Speaker 1: has just left you. No, not the five exactly. So
Speaker 1: once again we are combining all games. So you are
Speaker 1: a small mr person who is five years old and
Speaker 1: the love of your life just left, and that is
Speaker 1: your character as you are. Albert.
Speaker 9: Alrighty, because it's clear.
Speaker 1: Keep your voice down you want to get us caught. Sorry,
Speaker 1: yelling is the opposite of keeping your voice down.
Speaker 9: Opposite means chocolate favored.
Speaker 1: No, it doesn't. I've told you that one hundred times,
Speaker 1: have you.
Speaker 13: I don't remember that?
Speaker 5: No?
Speaker 7: Still I remember?
Speaker 9: Ah, sorry, Sammy, Why are we escaping again?
Speaker 1: Oh? Because for some crazy reason, we are relegated to
Speaker 1: the reject pile and if we don't get out of here,
Speaker 1: they're gonna melt us down.
Speaker 9: That sounds bad.
Speaker 1: It's bad, right, yes, Albert, it's bad.
Speaker 9: Am I as good as escaper as you.
Speaker 1: Well, seeing as we haven't actually escapered yet, I'm thinking no.
Speaker 13: Oh yeah, thank you forgetting that you have to escape
Speaker 13: first to actually be a good escaper.
Speaker 7: Am I always forgetting stuff like this because.
Speaker 9: My head got smashed.
Speaker 1: Hm. I'm guessing that's only a small part of it.
Speaker 9: Why are you and the bad Bend? Sammy?
Speaker 7: You're so pretty?
Speaker 1: I am Albert. I'm the prettiest fish this factory has
Speaker 1: ever made, the prettiest fish that has ever been made.
Speaker 1: But none of that matters when the world you're brought
Speaker 1: into is a cesspool of awfulness, covered in even more awfulness,
Speaker 1: and then dipped in nuts that have been sprayed with spreads.
Speaker 1: No more awfulness?
Speaker 9: Oh then, then, why are you in the ben y?
Speaker 1: I overheard some of the workers talking. Apparently something went
Speaker 1: wrong with my recipe. Oh no, yeah, I'm two sour
Speaker 1: stupid jerks.
Speaker 10: I don't think that's true, Sammy, Yeah, maybe a little sour.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's because of this place. You just wait till
Speaker 1: I get out of here. I'm gonna be the sweetish
Speaker 1: fish you've ever met.
Speaker 11: Why would you be sweetish?
Speaker 1: Sweetish fish not Swedish? Well are you trying to get
Speaker 1: a sued Ah?
Speaker 9: Well, what do we do next?
Speaker 1: All right, first we have to get down from this bin.
Speaker 1: Next we have to make it across the factory floor.
Speaker 1: Then we have to open that big door by the
Speaker 1: loading dock, and lastly we have to make our way
Speaker 1: to the city where we'll find jobs in a studio apartment.
Speaker 1: I'm okay if the closet isn't that big, but I'm
Speaker 1: going to insist on a washer dryer. It's gonna be
Speaker 1: my deal breaker, all.
Speaker 13: Right, right, right, okay, okay, So first we have to
Speaker 13: get past.
Speaker 7: That big dog.
Speaker 1: What big No, First we have to were you even listening?
Speaker 9: I was looking at the big dog.
Speaker 1: The big what.
Speaker 5: I heard?
Speaker 1: That was really really good? That was really good. Since
Speaker 1: we're here, do we want to do the ad copy
Speaker 1: in some new kind of way? Do you just want
Speaker 1: to take a swing doing something where we're I mean, Rob,
Speaker 1: can you think of just a whole new kind of
Speaker 1: way to read the ad copy?
Speaker 5: Tweak the copy to make it as you.
Speaker 4: Are the spokesperson, but you're a grill expert, a cooking expert,
Speaker 4: so that there will be a little bit more kind
Speaker 4: of officiousness to your read, a little bit more like
Speaker 4: you're an expert on this.
Speaker 5: See what you can do with that. It's a good thing.
Speaker 5: I don't direct.
Speaker 1: I'm also gonna I haven't. I haven't really spoken up
Speaker 1: at all because I have two more people that are
Speaker 1: far more qualified than I am here. But everything we've
Speaker 1: done today, as great as it's been, has all been
Speaker 1: in kind of the same register. I would love to
Speaker 1: hear if you could just lower it a little bit,
Speaker 1: I would like to hear a different tone from you.
Speaker 1: You don't have to go crazy, you don't have to
Speaker 1: go growlly, but just something a little less, little girl,
Speaker 1: just for one ad read to see where that lands
Speaker 1: kind of in your register.
Speaker 6: That same thing, and if I could articulate it in
Speaker 6: just a slightly different way for.
Speaker 1: You, a better way. Is what she said. She does
Speaker 1: this for a living. There's a reason she has Emmys,
Speaker 1: and I don't even know anyone.
Speaker 2: Here's the thing.
Speaker 6: I want you to use the lowest part of your voice,
Speaker 6: where it's the lowest and the deepest and most comfortable,
Speaker 6: without forcing it at all. So you're not pushing it
Speaker 6: down here, you're just finding either if you were to
Speaker 6: sing la la la la, la, la la la, that's
Speaker 6: already just pushing it. So love comfortable here, I could
Speaker 6: speak in this voice, So find a pitch a placement
Speaker 6: where it's comfortable, but the deepest part of your range
Speaker 6: without forcing it.
Speaker 10: Okay, you know, just because I have a small apartment,
Speaker 10: that doesn't mean that I have a small appetite. Just
Speaker 10: because of my building frowns on indoor open flames are
Speaker 10: dangerous levels of carbon monoxide. That doesn't mean that I
Speaker 10: don't need to occasionally throw down some meating grill grill.
Speaker 10: Grill well with Blover's new indoor smokeless grill, I can't pardon.
Speaker 8: Well.
Speaker 10: With Blover's new indoor smokeless grill, I can live like
Speaker 10: a carnivore and not worry about burning the blaze down
Speaker 10: or killing my neighbors with dangerous boisonous gas. Using patented
Speaker 10: fire stuff technology, Blover has taken all of the heat
Speaker 10: and smoke of real life fire and made it relatively
Speaker 10: safe for indoor use. Now I can cook my meat
Speaker 10: by my bed, and the only thing I'll have to
Speaker 10: worry about is my alarmingly.
Speaker 8: High cholesterol level.
Speaker 10: But that's nothing new Blover's indoor smokeless grills be a
Speaker 10: hunter again. Blover's grills are not certified for use in
Speaker 10: most apartment buildings or outdoors, not suitable for most meats, vegetables,
Speaker 10: or some cheeses not legal in California or New Mexico.
Speaker 2: It's really nice.
Speaker 5: It was a lot different from the last time.
Speaker 1: All Right, we will be back with you. Thank you, Mia,
Speaker 1: thank you, thank you.
Speaker 6: Well, that was a great note you gave Rob. That
Speaker 6: was remarkably better.
Speaker 1: Her also the scene her five year old and her acting,
Speaker 1: and then the moment she was finding We even talked
Speaker 1: about that. She killed that, you know. You know how
Speaker 1: I why I noticed it the most is because she
Speaker 1: was making me better. I was playing I was playing
Speaker 1: off of her as much as she was playing off
Speaker 1: of me, and I was finding beats I hadn't done before.
Speaker 1: It was just that was great. So what a great remark. Well, okay,
Speaker 1: let's bring Hannah in and see see what we can
Speaker 1: do there. Hey, Hannah, how are you. Well, here's what
Speaker 1: we're gonna do. Yes, we are going to switch characters
Speaker 1: like we did last time, but we are going to
Speaker 1: play by the numbers, and Andrea and Rob are going
Speaker 1: to create the character for you. Okay, is what's going
Speaker 1: to happen. So if you would please mister Paulson, a
Speaker 1: number between one and six, five Andrea a number between
Speaker 1: one and twelve, four, Rob a number between one and
Speaker 1: seven seven, and finally Andrea a number between one and eleven. Okay, okay, so,
Speaker 1: han Obama, you are a tiny racehorse. Race Wait a second,
Speaker 1: let me make sure I have this right. Yes, you
Speaker 1: are a tiny race horse. That is correct. You are
Speaker 1: ninety five years old and you are afraid of your
Speaker 1: own shadow. This is a tough round here.
Speaker 13: You do this to me?
Speaker 1: Are you ready to give it a pass?
Speaker 7: Sure?
Speaker 1: All right, at your pleasure.
Speaker 6: Absolutely, when you are ready. We'll start from the top
Speaker 6: and we're rolling.
Speaker 11: It is clear.
Speaker 1: Keep your voice down you want to get us caught
Speaker 1: show yelling is the opposite of keeping your voice down.
Speaker 9: After ship means, how can you flavor?
Speaker 1: No, it doesn't. I've told you that one hundred times.
Speaker 11: Hell you, I don't remember that.
Speaker 13: Wait nope, I do don't remember a Sorry Sammy.
Speaker 7: Why we escaping again?
Speaker 1: Because for some crazy reason we are relegated to the
Speaker 1: reject pile and I finally, if we don't get out
Speaker 1: of here, they're going to melt us down. That bad.
Speaker 1: It's bad, right, yes, Albert, it's bad. Huh?
Speaker 9: Oh?
Speaker 13: Red, am I as good as an escaper as you are.
Speaker 1: Well, seeing as we haven't actually escaped yet, I'm thinking no.
Speaker 13: Oh yeah, I can't forgetting that you actually have to
Speaker 13: escape first to actually be a good escaper.
Speaker 7: Am I alwish forgetting stuff like this?
Speaker 9: Because my head is smushed.
Speaker 1: I'm guessing that's only a small part of it.
Speaker 13: Well, eh, yeah, why are you in the bad ben?
Speaker 1: Sammy? You're so pretty? Yes I am Albert I. I'm
Speaker 1: the prettiest fish that this factory has ever made, the
Speaker 1: prettiest fish that's ever been made. But none of that
Speaker 1: matters when the world you were brought into is a
Speaker 1: cesspool of awfulness covered in even more awful and then
Speaker 1: dip the nuts and sprayed with bingo more awfulness there.
Speaker 9: Oh then, why are you in the bin?
Speaker 1: I overheard some of the workers talking. Apparently something went
Speaker 1: wrong with my recipe. Oh no, yep, I'm two sour
Speaker 1: stupid jerks.
Speaker 13: When I don't think that's true, Sammy, you're a.
Speaker 11: Little shell work.
Speaker 1: It's because of this place. You Just wait till I
Speaker 1: get out of here. I'm gonna be the sweetish fish
Speaker 1: you've ever met.
Speaker 11: Oh that would you be? Sweetish?
Speaker 1: Sweetens? M sweetish fish? Not sweetish you're trying to get a.
Speaker 9: Sued eh maybe, Well, what do we do next?
Speaker 1: Well, first we have to get down from this bin.
Speaker 1: Next we have to make it across the factory floor.
Speaker 1: Then we have to open that big door by the
Speaker 1: loading dock, and Leslie, we have to make our way
Speaker 1: to the city where we'll find jobs in the studio apartment.
Speaker 1: I'm okay, if the closet isn't that big, I'm going
Speaker 1: to insist on a wash your dryer though. That's gonna
Speaker 1: be a deal breaker for me.
Speaker 9: Right all right, So first we just have to erase
Speaker 9: patch that big dog.
Speaker 1: No, first we have to get were you even listening?
Speaker 13: Nah, I was just looking at the big dog over
Speaker 13: there with the world.
Speaker 1: That's great. Before anybody gives any notes, I want to
Speaker 1: do one more with a different character for you, Okay.
Speaker 1: I want one that I want to hear something more
Speaker 1: in your natural register. Okay, and just go through the
Speaker 1: scene acting wise. Okay, So I want to let's keep
Speaker 1: we can keep the keep the horse if you want
Speaker 1: to keep the horse. But let's what what would you
Speaker 1: say your natural age would be? Voice wise? Twenty eighteen
Speaker 1: between you twenty that voice right there you're talking voice
Speaker 1: right there. I want to do that. I want to
Speaker 1: get one clean take. Your mic is acting up a
Speaker 1: little bit at times. I also think you're a little
Speaker 1: bit in your head about trying to keep the voice right,
Speaker 1: the age right. It's a lot, and I want to
Speaker 1: make sure we get a great take with you with
Speaker 1: just your natural register and going through there so you
Speaker 1: can keep all of the you know, if you want
Speaker 1: to keep some of the affectations of being the horse,
Speaker 1: or you want to keep afraid of your own shadow,
Speaker 1: that's fine, but I want to keep it in your
Speaker 1: natural register. I want to see what that's like. If
Speaker 1: that's cool, Andrea, Rob, is that work? And then we'll
Speaker 1: just run through it once again real quick like that.
Speaker 1: Sure does that work for you? Sure?
Speaker 5: All right?
Speaker 1: Cool? So whenever you want to go and again, I
Speaker 1: would say, pick the character, but keep it in your
Speaker 1: register and let's see what happens. Okay, all right, when
Speaker 1: you're ready to rolling.
Speaker 11: The coast is clear, sh keep your voice down.
Speaker 1: You want to get us caught. Yelling is the opposite
Speaker 1: of keeping your down.
Speaker 7: Opposite means chocolate flavored.
Speaker 1: No, it doesn't. I've told you that one hundred times.
Speaker 6: Have you.
Speaker 7: I you don't remember that. Oh wait, nope, still don't remember. Ah, sorry, Sammy,
Speaker 7: Why are we escaping again?
Speaker 1: Because for some crazy reason we are relegated to the
Speaker 1: reject pile and if we don't get out of here,
Speaker 1: they're gonna melt us down.
Speaker 7: Oh that sounds bad.
Speaker 1: That's bad, right, yes, Albert, it's bad.
Speaker 7: Well, am I as good as an escaper as you?
Speaker 1: Well, seeing as we haven't actually escaped yet, I'm thinking no.
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, I keep forgetting that you actually have to
Speaker 7: escape first to actually be a good escaper? And am
Speaker 7: I always forgetting stuff like this? Because my head got smushed.
Speaker 1: I'm guessing that's only a small part of it.
Speaker 7: Well, then, then, why are you on the bad bend?
Speaker 1: Sammy?
Speaker 3: You're so pretty?
Speaker 1: Yes I am, Albert. I'm the prettiest fish that this
Speaker 1: factory has ever made, the prettiest fish that's ever been made.
Speaker 1: But none of that matters when the world you're brought
Speaker 1: into a sussesspool of awfulness, covered in even more awfulness,
Speaker 1: and then dipped in nuts, and then the raight with sprinkles,
Speaker 1: no more awfulness.
Speaker 7: Oh then why are you and the bin?
Speaker 1: I overheard some of the workers talking apparently something went
Speaker 1: wrong with my recipe. Oh no, yeah, I'm two sour
Speaker 1: stupid jerks.
Speaker 7: Well I don't think that's true, Sammy.
Speaker 1: Well, it's just because of this place. You just wait
Speaker 1: till I get out of here. I'm gonna be the
Speaker 1: sweetest fish you've ever met.
Speaker 7: Why would you go to be sweetish?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Sweetish fish, not sweetish? Are you trying to get us sued? Oh?
Speaker 7: Well, what do we do next?
Speaker 1: Okay? I have a figured out. First we have to
Speaker 1: get down from the bin. Next we have to make
Speaker 1: it across the factory floor. Then we have to open
Speaker 1: that big door by the loading dock. And lastly we
Speaker 1: have to make our way to the city, where we'll
Speaker 1: find jobs in a studio apartment. I'm okay if the
Speaker 1: closet isn't that big, but I'm going to insist on a.
Speaker 7: Washer dryat that's it's going to be a deal breaker
Speaker 7: for me, right, have right, So, so first we have
Speaker 7: to get past.
Speaker 1: The big dog big No, first we have were you
Speaker 1: even listening, na, I was.
Speaker 7: Looking at the big puppy?
Speaker 1: What big pow?
Speaker 5: That was great?
Speaker 2: Very good?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I wanted to just hear it in your in
Speaker 1: your natural register.
Speaker 5: Thank you really lovely and totally natural. It was great.
Speaker 2: I'm going to do something with the commercial, but the ad.
Speaker 1: Copy, Oh did you want me to do that?
Speaker 2: Okay?
Speaker 1: Well we're yeah, we're debating. We're seeing which I think
Speaker 1: I think we should. Let's have you run through it again.
Speaker 1: Any any ideas, Andrea Rob anything different for the commercial?
Speaker 6: I do because we got such a good version of
Speaker 6: this the first time you went through, Rhanna, Yes, and
Speaker 6: you can just of rest on your laurels for it's
Speaker 6: just fine.
Speaker 2: So just to.
Speaker 6: Play and give you something different to do. Sure, let's
Speaker 6: find a character for this. So we're imagining this. Here's
Speaker 6: what I'm picturing. A motorcycle gang mall, a tough broad.
Speaker 2: You know, she's really kind of tough.
Speaker 6: She's got tattoos all over and piercings everywhere, and and
Speaker 6: she's used to being around a really tough element and everything.
Speaker 2: So let that be a placement for you to find
Speaker 2: for the voice.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 2: And then there's one other thing. I want to deal
Speaker 2: with it. And I don't know how you guys deal
Speaker 2: with this when you work on it, but.
Speaker 6: I found that when I was teaching, oftentimes people had
Speaker 6: a hard time getting into commercial copy, getting getting it
Speaker 6: started because decided who they were talking to in their minds.
Speaker 6: Part of the actor was I'm just I'm doing a commercial.
Speaker 6: I'm talking to the entire audience. That doesn't necessarily help
Speaker 6: the actor. I think for your performance, you need to
Speaker 6: decide who are you talking to. So, so maybe it's
Speaker 6: your boyfriend. Maybe it's your boyfriend. Okay, your motorcycle gang boyfriend.
Speaker 6: And he's just said, gosh, your apartment so small. That's
Speaker 6: what he's just said to you before you start this copy.
Speaker 6: So I'm gonna read you into it, and then you're
Speaker 6: going to dive in and read the rest of the copy. Okay,
Speaker 6: all right, your really tough, nasty boyfriend, biker guy.
Speaker 1: That's perfect.
Speaker 6: Geez, your apartment is so small.
Speaker 8: Hey, just because I have a small apartment, that doesn't
Speaker 8: mean I have a small appetite. And just because my
Speaker 8: building frowns on indoor open flames or dangerous levels of
Speaker 8: carbon monoxide, that doesn't mean I don't need to occasionally
Speaker 8: throw down some meat and grill.
Speaker 1: Grill, grill.
Speaker 8: So with Blover's new indoor smokeless grill, I can live
Speaker 8: like a carnivore and not worry about burning the place
Speaker 8: down or killing my neighbors with dangerous poison gas. Using
Speaker 8: patented fire stuff technology, Blever's has taken all of the
Speaker 8: heat and smoke of real fire and made it relatively
Speaker 8: safer indoors. So now I can cook my meat by
Speaker 8: my bed and the only thing I have to worry
Speaker 8: about is my alarmingly high cholesterol level. Blover's indoor smokeless
Speaker 8: grills be a hunter again. Glover's grills are not certified
Speaker 8: for most apartment buildings, are outdoors, not suitable for most meats,
Speaker 8: vegtabals or some cheese is not legal in California or
Speaker 8: New Mexico.
Speaker 1: Nice, really good. That's great, really good. Thank you so much, Hannah.
Speaker 1: We will be back with you. Thank you, thank you.
Speaker 2: Well done. So interesting this process, it's nuts.
Speaker 6: Interesting, yes, because because you're you're trying to judge a
Speaker 6: whole bunch of different stuff from you write a lot
Speaker 6: more time with both these goals, so you know them
Speaker 6: a little better than well.
Speaker 1: That's I mean, this is the thing, I think.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 1: We have so many different versions of the voiceover actor.
Speaker 1: I mean again, I can see Hannah. I I frankly
Speaker 1: think Hannah did not do great with some of the
Speaker 1: acting choices today, which is which is rare because she
Speaker 1: was killing it before. But her ad read were great.
Speaker 1: I can easily see her taking some acting classes and
Speaker 1: maybe getting a little bit more comfortable in her skin
Speaker 1: when it comes to the actual acting portion, but in
Speaker 1: the meantime reading ad copies all over the place and
Speaker 1: doing very well. I thought MIA's had two great days,
Speaker 1: she I thought, really seeing the direction that she was taking,
Speaker 1: the choices that she was making, owning everything she did,
Speaker 1: and then switching. I thought her weakest part by far
Speaker 1: was the add copy, and then I thought she did
Speaker 1: great with the add copy the last time. So it's tough.
Speaker 1: It's tough. I mean, we've said we thought our top sixteen,
Speaker 1: all of all the top sixteen could have been signed
Speaker 1: and and you know, could have have found a career.
Speaker 1: So the last two down to the last two are
Speaker 1: you know, we hope the two best that we had.
Speaker 1: And of course I'm sure some people were great and
Speaker 1: had bad days. It happens, you know, So you don't
Speaker 1: know who just left and went, ah, damn it, I
Speaker 1: had the worst day ever. We all have them, you know.
Speaker 1: That being said, it's we're now nitpicking and I personally
Speaker 1: not to start it, but I personally think Mia had
Speaker 1: the better day too.
Speaker 6: And this, as you said, we all have bad days.
Speaker 6: You know, another day it might have been.
Speaker 1: Just absolutely absolutely, but we.
Speaker 6: Have a finite you know, what you choose from, and
Speaker 6: what we saw today, I think Mea is the stronger content.
Speaker 1: Here's the other thing, just before you jump in, Rob,
Speaker 1: just for both of you to know, because we have
Speaker 1: been with these contestants for so long, Mea has gotten
Speaker 1: better every time. Oh that's the thing. So she's she's
Speaker 1: also she's nineteen. Shut up, she's nineteen and getting better
Speaker 1: with every session we've had. And if that's where she
Speaker 1: started and this is where she is now, I mean
Speaker 1: I use this analogy with you the last time, Andrea,
Speaker 1: which is you know you have the two. You have
Speaker 1: a baseball coach who's looking at two runners who both
Speaker 1: make it to first base at the same amount of time.
Speaker 1: One of them is perfect form, one of them is
Speaker 1: bad form. You take the with bad form because teaching
Speaker 1: perfect form, and he's going to beat the first guy.
Speaker 1: So me at watching her progress this much in this
Speaker 1: short amount of time, start getting her in a booth
Speaker 1: with regular auditions and I mean, the sky's the limit.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a great point. And the other side of
Speaker 4: that coin is in terms of you know, folks like
Speaker 4: folks like us, well, our stock and trade is versatility.
Speaker 4: You can create a character or try a dialect or
Speaker 4: singing character, all that other stuff.
Speaker 5: Nonetheless, I thought, no, Hannah was great, just phenomenal.
Speaker 4: The nature of this competition, as you say, is about
Speaker 4: right now.
Speaker 5: So that's just the way it goes.
Speaker 4: I mean, at this moment, at this time, what you've
Speaker 4: told us, under this circumstance, it's pretty difficult to not
Speaker 4: go with Mia.
Speaker 1: I agree. And Hannah was nervous today. You could tell
Speaker 1: Hannah was nervous today.
Speaker 6: You can that said in a professional situation, whether she's
Speaker 6: in the booth at the agency, it's not going to
Speaker 6: get less stressful, and it's going to be a matter
Speaker 6: of her learning how to handle that.
Speaker 2: We gave her so many times today saying how are you,
Speaker 2: and she always.
Speaker 1: Was like, I'm here, I guess I'm here.
Speaker 2: Don't go there. Yeah, I'm great, I'm so grateful to
Speaker 2: be here. I'm gung ho.
Speaker 6: It's a mistake when you walk in the door and
Speaker 6: you bring your problems with you. Outside, and it's all
Speaker 6: about I am here to work and have fun.
Speaker 1: And I thought the same thing. I thought the same thing. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: so I think we're all in agreement then right.
Speaker 6: All right, well we're going to tell these ladies now right?
Speaker 1: Yes?
Speaker 2: Are you tell Hannah first?
Speaker 1: Yes?
Speaker 2: Okay, let's I want to give her lots of encouragement because.
Speaker 1: Of course, hey, how are you well? So I'm going
Speaker 1: to be just totally honest to you. Unfortunately, you didn't
Speaker 1: win today, okay, but you did an amazing job. I
Speaker 1: mean number two out of forty five hundred people. You know,
Speaker 1: when I'm we're sitting here with Rob Paulson and Andrea Romano,
Speaker 1: two of the best ever in the business. And when
Speaker 1: I told them it was forty five hundred people, they
Speaker 1: couldn't believe how.
Speaker 5: Many people around it.
Speaker 1: It's you've done so incredibly well. I have to.
Speaker 5: Say, let me interject something.
Speaker 4: And firstly, Will and I are both on Andrea's You're
Speaker 4: an actor too, right, Andrea, you were an actor at college,
Speaker 4: and so we all we all, and I am dead serious.
Speaker 4: We know exactly how you feel, we know exactly how
Speaker 4: bad you want it. I have to tell you the
Speaker 4: hustle never stops. Ever, when someone says to me, what's
Speaker 4: your favorite gig, I say the next one, because I
Speaker 4: can't believe that I'm able to do essentially what got
Speaker 4: me in trouble in high school with people whom I
Speaker 4: would choose to be my friends, two of whom are here.
Speaker 5: And then my job is to bring joy to millions
Speaker 5: of people.
Speaker 4: So that is all to say that you are so
Speaker 4: ahead of the game. I reckon I've done something like
Speaker 4: twenty five hundred and a half hours of animation.
Speaker 5: Which means I've not gotten four thousand of them.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: And so.
Speaker 5: It's never easy.
Speaker 4: But you are in a position not only with a
Speaker 4: lot of skill and a delightful personality, and you're young
Speaker 4: and you're just on your way. But the people who
Speaker 4: are telling you this worked yesterday and we're working tomorrow,
Speaker 4: so we really know what we're talking about.
Speaker 5: And you are precious, Hannah.
Speaker 7: Thank you so much, Rob, I really do appreciate that.
Speaker 6: I want to interject if I may hear that, I
Speaker 6: want to encourage you, Hannah, to continue pursuing this. You're
Speaker 6: very good, you really are. Your commercial stuff is excellent.
Speaker 1: Yeah, thank you.
Speaker 6: And you know, we talked about this, Robin and Will
Speaker 6: and I about how one any given day, you may
Speaker 6: be able to handle this one thing, and then another
Speaker 6: day you're just kind of not good at that one
Speaker 6: is not you personally, and so this may not have
Speaker 6: been the best day for you.
Speaker 2: When we first said hello to you, you seemed kind.
Speaker 6: Of down a little or nervous or whatever it seemed
Speaker 6: to be affecting you, And of course it is.
Speaker 2: But that's part of the gig, is that nervousness and
Speaker 2: dealing with that.
Speaker 6: And so while I want to encourage you to continue
Speaker 6: to take classes, to continue to work tr this, to
Speaker 6: find an agent to pursue this work, absolutely, I also
Speaker 6: want to suggest to you that you bring with your
Speaker 6: talent that absolute desire that you clearly have to do
Speaker 6: well yes, so that if someone says, how are you?
Speaker 6: Let everything else go away and like I'm great and
Speaker 6: I'm so happy to be here, okay, and then you
Speaker 6: will convince yourself that that is the truth, because it
Speaker 6: is you want to be in front of people. And
Speaker 6: this is something that I learned about auditioning as an actress,
Speaker 6: which was auditions should not be intimidating somebody in this
Speaker 6: particular day, Rob Paulson, Will Ferdell and Andrea Romano wanted
Speaker 6: you to perform for us.
Speaker 2: Who is that?
Speaker 1: That is the audition you get.
Speaker 2: People want you to perform for them, and you got
Speaker 2: that down. You really do. You're well on your way.
Speaker 2: Keep pursuing it.
Speaker 6: Don't be discouraged by the fact that this particular contest,
Speaker 6: this particular audition, you didn't come out on top. You
Speaker 6: came out really close to aunt, really close. So I
Speaker 6: just I don't want you to be sad about this.
Speaker 6: You've accomplished quite a bit already, and I encourag you
Speaker 6: to continue on and you will succeed more.
Speaker 2: And I'm sure we'll be seeing your name years from now.
Speaker 6: On various high I think, so virtual work or animation work.
Speaker 2: I wish you the very best of luck.
Speaker 1: And take these episodes, take the episodes and put together
Speaker 1: a real and send them out places you're gonna get
Speaker 1: signed by some You're gonna get signed somewhere you are. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, it's everything's remote nowadays, so it doesn't matter
Speaker 1: where you are. You now have the the reads under
Speaker 1: your belt. Again, what Rob said is absolutely right. We've
Speaker 1: all heard no or the equivalent of No. One hundred
Speaker 1: thousand times, So it's uh. And usually it's your number
Speaker 1: fifty out of forty eight, it's not your number two
Speaker 1: out of forty five hundred. So it's you did You've
Speaker 1: you've done really really well. You just to be totally
Speaker 1: honest with you, and you know you're going to listen
Speaker 1: to this episode and everything. Your fellow competitor today just
Speaker 1: really crushed. It just had a day. And that's how
Speaker 1: we are as actors. You have sometimes when you have
Speaker 1: a day, and you have sometimes when you just don't
Speaker 1: and you weren't. It wasn't that you were bad at all.
Speaker 1: She was phenomenal. That's just how it works sometimes. So
Speaker 1: it's just was it just was a day. And I'm I.
Speaker 1: I know I've said this to you a hundred times
Speaker 1: and I've meant it every time and I continue to
Speaker 1: mean it. You are going to get signed, you are,
Speaker 1: so you somebody, You're gonna sign up with an agency,
Speaker 1: and especially I would work a little bit on some
Speaker 1: of the voiceover stuff with with just acting, some of
Speaker 1: the vo acting stuff. Your ad read. You could start
Speaker 1: reading copy tomorrow. No, it's true, it's true. You you're
Speaker 1: first from your first read, it was you're you're you're
Speaker 1: killing it. So yeah, take take improv classes, take some
Speaker 1: acting classes. But my guess is you're going to be
Speaker 1: signed and doing auditions while you're taking those classes. So
Speaker 1: you've done so well, and it's been such an honor
Speaker 1: to get to know you. And someday I'm gonna be
