I didn't have to dive that deep 33 00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:02,520 Speaker 1: with you, Candy, because I knew everything you've done. It's 34 00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:06,480 Speaker 1: that's why the amount of your work is insane. Thank you, 35 00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:09,919 Speaker 1: you know I and I'll tell you honestly, life will 36 00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:13,600 Speaker 1: take you where it takes you. I um my mom, 37 00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:16,520 Speaker 1: who who passed away last year at nineties six, so 38 00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:18,920 Speaker 1: a great life, long life. She used to tell me, 39 00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,960 Speaker 1: pick up your oars, you're in a canoe and follow 40 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,600 Speaker 1: the flow. And it was one of those things when 41 00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:26,640 Speaker 1: life didn't kind of take me where I thought I 42 00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:30,720 Speaker 1: wanted to go. Um, you know, she would always say, well, 43 00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:33,800 Speaker 1: just follow the flow. You only use your oars to 44 00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:37,880 Speaker 1: push against the rocks. And I thought it was really fascinating. 45 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:41,880 Speaker 1: And I remember going on this audition with Stephen for 46 00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:45,400 Speaker 1: Steven Spielberg for Tiny Toon Adventures, and I did not 47 00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:48,560 Speaker 1: want to do it. I thought voice over acting was 48 00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:51,160 Speaker 1: where actors went to die. I was like, I don't 49 00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:54,320 Speaker 1: want to do this. I wanted to be a singer. 50 00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:57,640 Speaker 1: I had come off the first national tour of dream Girls, 51 00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:01,760 Speaker 1: and I kept thinking, I'm going back into that someday. 52 00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:04,440 Speaker 1: And then I realized I was not used. I was 53 00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:07,959 Speaker 1: trying to row against rather than just using my oars 54 00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:11,120 Speaker 1: to push against the rocks. And that's how it really started, 55 00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:14,560 Speaker 1: was Tiny Toon Adventures way back when you were babies. 56 00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:21,480 Speaker 1: You're tiny, tiny babies? If so? Yeah, so I was 57 00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:27,639 Speaker 1: Your very first animated series was with Steven's It Gets Better. Well, 58 00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:32,040 Speaker 1: my very first audition was for Steven Spielder and I 59 00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:37,839 Speaker 1: was singing at um awake um, and of course, as 60 00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:40,320 Speaker 1: one does when they have no class, I started to 61 00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:43,720 Speaker 1: do like a little stand up and it was awake 62 00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:47,480 Speaker 1: for an agent. It was awake for an agent. It 63 00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:51,400 Speaker 1: was the eighties. What can I say so, Um, an 64 00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:55,320 Speaker 1: agent for cartoons, came up to me and said, you know, 65 00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:59,040 Speaker 1: I think Aaron would want me to represent you. And 66 00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:02,160 Speaker 1: that was how it gan. And I didn't return her call. 67 00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:05,480 Speaker 1: I just I wanted to be a singer so badly, 68 00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:08,800 Speaker 1: but more specifically, I wanted to be a singer, backup 69 00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:11,560 Speaker 1: singer for her Balbert.

That was about Eric the first time. 171 00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:23,200 Speaker 1: I mean I knew of him and we would pass 172 00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:25,680 Speaker 1: in the night or I'd hear him doing silly things 173 00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:29,960 Speaker 1: like Nickelodeon and uh. And then I was lucky enough 174 00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:33,880 Speaker 1: to be with him on Put Some Boots where where 175 00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:38,360 Speaker 1: he does the perfect He's Antonio Banderis. You can't you 176 00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:41,600 Speaker 1: can't tell the different. That was a That was a 177 00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:44,200 Speaker 1: room that was directed by Andrea Romano, who knows how 178 00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:47,880 Speaker 1: to pick twn. You know, she just saw and one 179 00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:52,160 Speaker 1: of my closest friends. I adore her, and she she 180 00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:55,800 Speaker 1: directed Tiny Tunes. So we go go way back to 181 00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:59,160 Speaker 1: when I had a waist. It was just times and 182 00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:02,320 Speaker 1: so Drea was your first voice over director. Andrea was 183 00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:06,360 Speaker 1: mine to stop it. I don't mind too, Batman. Beyond 184 00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:09,120 Speaker 1: my very first animated Sery just kind of got each 185 00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:14,240 Speaker 1: other because we are both anti the big the big 186 00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:17,840 Speaker 1: room where they direct by committee and we're just kind 187 00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:21,600 Speaker 1: of we're just more indie folk. And I would say 188 00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:26,000 Speaker 1: before Eric, it is now hard with Eric bowsa um 189 00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:31,559 Speaker 1: Tress McNeil is possibly the most brilliant voice actress. If 190 00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:33,959 Speaker 1: we have to go to agree with you work. I 191 00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:36,400 Speaker 1: heard you mentioned her will many times. I was just 192 00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:38,520 Speaker 1: about to say that I had the same feeling the 193 00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:40,760 Speaker 1: first time I worked with Tress that you get when 194 00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:44,720 Speaker 1: you work with with Eric or Frank Welker or somebody 195 00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:48,199 Speaker 1: like that, where you just um, it's it is, it's 196 00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:50,480 Speaker 1: next level. But I mean, I guess it's like that 197 00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:53,480 Speaker 1: in any anything, when you're surrounded with talented people, there's 198 00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:56,240 Speaker 1: always one or two that just are so much better 199 00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:58,120 Speaker 1: than everyone else, right, And you know what I will 200 00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:02,240 Speaker 1: tell you, Like Frank, that room that I walked into 201 00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:07,719 Speaker 1: was like a third grade classroom. Everybody was voicing and 202 00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:10,640 Speaker 1: doing these weird things, and then you'd say something and 203 00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:13,640 Speaker 1: somebody would imitate your voice, and I thought, you know, 204 00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:17,280 Speaker 1: much like my book, it was like growing up in 205 00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:21,280 Speaker 1: a in a house with sort of like developmentally disabled. 206 00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:24,600 Speaker 1: I was like the noise and the quietest two people 207 00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:27,839 Speaker 1: in the room were Tress McNeil and Frank Welker. And 208 00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:30,679 Speaker 1: Tress was in the front. It was like a classroom 209 00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:33,240 Speaker 1: and I was way in the back and next to 210 00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:36,000 Speaker 1: me was Frank Welker, who showed me how to separate 211 00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:39,280 Speaker 1: my pages and how to be quiet and when to laugh, 212 00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:42,600 Speaker 1: and it was a great training ground. But to watch 213 00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:47,199 Speaker 1: Tress and Frank and then to see Eric, you get 214 00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:50,760 Speaker 1: that feeling like there's a Bob Bergen in the room. 215 00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:55,319 Speaker 1: You you just you get this vibe that there's so 216 00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:58,320 Speaker 1: much more that they can do, but they've sat in 217 00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:02,560 Speaker 1: their canoe and let let the current take them. And 218 00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:05,679 Speaker 1: for me, I was a single parent when my daughter 219 00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:09,840 Speaker 1: was very young, and cartoons allowed me to bring her 220 00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:13,319 Speaker 1: up and send her to college and do all that. 221 00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:17,040 Speaker 1: And am I super famous? No, except for like the 222 00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:20,720 Speaker 1: three ft and undercrowd, Am I you know? Super well? 223 00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:23,640 Speaker 1: They're the best fans. Like It's like I said, I 224 00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:25,440 Speaker 1: feel like I'm on an I might go on a 225 00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:28,840 Speaker 1: soap opera. You know, I got my crew and I 226 00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:32,559 Speaker 1: got my people who watch my show. Um, but I 227 00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:36,640 Speaker 1: you know, for my initial shock of this is where 228 00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:38,320 Speaker 1: I was going to be, I can now tell you 229 00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:41,000 Speaker 1: there's no place that I would rather be, honestly, And 230 00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:44,440 Speaker 1: that's not That's the thing. The other thing that I 231 00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:48,000 Speaker 1: love about our side of the industry is the if 232 00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:50,920 Speaker 1: you know you know factor, So you might not be 233 00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:53,679 Speaker 1: a superstar in the world. We might not be superstars 234 00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:56,360 Speaker 1: in the world, but we are to each other because 235 00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:59,480 Speaker 1: if you know, you know, and so Candy Milo, it's 236 00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:01,880 Speaker 1: like they're you know, I heart calls like, well, Candy's 237 00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:03,360 Speaker 1: gonna come on the show. We were like, you've got 238 00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:05,800 Speaker 1: to be kidding me. So that I mean to us, 239 00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:08,840 Speaker 1: you'll you'll always be a rotor. I just well, and 240 00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:12,560 Speaker 1: now with UM comic cons we've seen since COVID, so 241 00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:18,160 Speaker 1: many people were streaming animation UM and re re, you know, 242 00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:21,680 Speaker 1: investing themselves into all of the stuff that they could, 243 00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:24,880 Speaker 1: the content and things that were very you know, nostalgic 244 00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:27,400 Speaker 1: for them. I'm sure they did Kim Possible. And I'm 245 00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:30,360 Speaker 1: sure they did Tey because I I loved that. And 246 00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:32,360 Speaker 1: I have to tell you I I had only done 247 00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:36,840 Speaker 1: a couple of episodes of Kim Possible only because you 248 00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:39,120 Speaker 1: guys had it. Hold on a second, know, you guys 249 00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:42,200 Speaker 1: had it covered. Like when you have Nancy as your 250 00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:45,560 Speaker 1: mole rat, you you got it like you've got it covered. 251 00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:48,160 Speaker 1: She could do other things, but every once in a 252 00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:52,000 Speaker 1: while they needed me and I would be able to 253 00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:56,240 Speaker 1: go in. But as um you know, as you know 254 00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:59,480 Speaker 1: we were all done separately. What were you doing, Candy, 255 00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:01,920 Speaker 1: because I was not aware of this, so please inform me. 256 00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:07,240 Speaker 1: I did um extra voices that Nancy couldn't pick up. 257 00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:11,320 Speaker 1: I mean, another brilliant human being. But like if you had, 258 00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:14,280 Speaker 1: off the top of my head, a stewardness and then 259 00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:17,320 Speaker 1: you add a random mom, I would come in and 260 00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:20,800 Speaker 1: and for for your listeners and your your your people, 261 00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:24,200 Speaker 1: your crowd that don't know I was utility. I think 262 00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:29,479 Speaker 1: on three or four UM can possible episodes and I'm 263 00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:35,760 Speaker 1: I'm thinking, was it Lisa Shaefer directing? Yeah? And the 264 00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:41,880 Speaker 1: best people like ever in the history of awesomeness. Yeah, 265 00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:44,920 Speaker 1: just like a regular nice human being. But you find 266 00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:48,480 Speaker 1: I find that the best voice directors are like Lisa 267 00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:51,520 Speaker 1: in that when you're acting, they just let you go. 268 00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:55,000 Speaker 1: If they feel like you're dialed in, they are not. 269 00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:59,280 Speaker 1: They're not worried about every single line, every single beat. 270 00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:03,360 Speaker 1: They're not looking to have you match something. You know. 271 00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:07,960 Speaker 1: They just let you go. And yeah. And I think 272 00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:11,160 Speaker 1: one of the great things about Lisa's that she had 273 00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:15,040 Speaker 1: to do shows one character at a time because that's 274 00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:17,560 Speaker 1: the way it was scheduled so that they could get 275 00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:22,000 Speaker 1: it and she was so great at directing me in 276 00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:26,680 Speaker 1: that here's without playing the other people or saying, here's 277 00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:28,920 Speaker 1: how they're probably going to read this line. This is 278 00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:31,120 Speaker 1: what I'm trying to get, And so I could do 279 00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:33,640 Speaker 1: line by line five times in a row and then 280 00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:36,440 Speaker 1: what was cut together was great. So it was never 281 00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:39,440 Speaker 1: brain surgery when I worked with Lisa Shaeffer, you know, 282 00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:42,320 Speaker 1: and I say that just because that's how I felt 283 00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:45,360 Speaker 1: about Malcolm de Lee for for Space Jam two. It 284 00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:49,520 Speaker 1: was never brain surgery. Let's just let you go give 285 00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:52,120 Speaker 1: us five or ten things and we'll let you know 286 00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:54,200 Speaker 1: what works, and if not, we'll get another session and 287 00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:57,200 Speaker 1: come back and pick it up. So well, Kitty, I 288 00:16:57,240 --> 00:16:59,080 Speaker 1: have to have a couple of questions, follow up questions 289 00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:01,560 Speaker 1: to that. So when you do utility, as we know, 290 00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:06,080 Speaker 1: if we've mentioned before, sessions, UM can can basically contract 291 00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:08,880 Speaker 1: you to do up to is it up to three characters? Yes, 292 00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:11,760 Speaker 1: you get two for the price of one, and then 293 00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:14,720 Speaker 1: a third voice is a bump, a fourth fit voice 294 00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:18,800 Speaker 1: is a new session. So it's funny. I had very 295 00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:23,640 Speaker 1: little UM notoriety in a show called Fanboy and Chump 296 00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:29,880 Speaker 1: Chump on Nickelodeon, and I made more money doing that 297 00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:35,439 Speaker 1: show because I was so versatile or you know, nuts 298 00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:39,000 Speaker 1: if you want to say it personal, because I sing, 299 00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:42,280 Speaker 1: and I think that's it. I know how to manipulate 300 00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:45,400 Speaker 1: and control my voice that I could come on sometimes 301 00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:49,040 Speaker 1: and do six or seven characters along with Jeff Glenn Bennett, 302 00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:52,760 Speaker 1: Oh hi, an brilliant guy. Like we would just come 303 00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:55,720 Speaker 1: in and we would say back, clean up. We would 304 00:17:55,720 --> 00:18:00,480 Speaker 1: come in and I I had a character named share Leader, 305 00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:03,520 Speaker 1: Shall please do please do all your characters okay? So 306 00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:08,000 Speaker 1: here all day. She was a character on Fanboy Chump 307 00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:11,919 Speaker 1: Chump called Share and she was a shareleader like a cheerleader, 308 00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:15,239 Speaker 1: and all she said was her like share and then 309 00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:19,720 Speaker 1: they made her a triplet and so it was like hey, hey, hey, 310 00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:25,240 Speaker 1: and then three of them, and I was Um Loupe 311 00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:27,879 Speaker 1: on that show where I had a Buffy's in my 312 00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:32,680 Speaker 1: hair and I had like little braids like Princess leah 313 00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:36,240 Speaker 1: Um and then I mean it was one of those things. 314 00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:39,800 Speaker 1: And then I was um Marcia and somebody named Marcia 315 00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:42,919 Speaker 1: who had breaking and it was a main girl.

But you 334 00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:51,520 Speaker 1: mentioned briefly before your book, and your book is coming 335 00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:56,200 Speaker 1: out on the fourth correct and just reading about it 336 00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:59,000 Speaker 1: called Surviving the Odd and just reading about this was 337 00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:02,879 Speaker 1: so amazing. I mean, can you can you explain to 338 00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:05,399 Speaker 1: us what it's about because it is incredible and I 339 00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:08,320 Speaker 1: want to know how much this influenced the voices uh 340 00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:11,600 Speaker 1: that you ended up using in your career. Yeah, let 341 00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:14,000 Speaker 1: me just I will give you like the Quicken Down 342 00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:17,320 Speaker 1: and Dirty. My dad was a very successful nightclub performer, 343 00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:21,640 Speaker 1: singer or comic, depending on who the UM star was, 344 00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:24,760 Speaker 1: he would do like a nightclub show. He was Bett 345 00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:28,919 Speaker 1: Midler before there was Bett Midler, and he was extremely successful. 346 00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:32,600 Speaker 1: But with the advent of TV, nightclubs were closing. So 347 00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:34,639 Speaker 1: with five kids, he tried to figure out what he 348 00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:37,000 Speaker 1: would do in the late sixties, and he wanted to 349 00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:40,520 Speaker 1: give something back to society, which he decided should be 350 00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:47,080 Speaker 1: my childhood UM, and he opened one of California's very 351 00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:51,720 Speaker 1: first licensed halfway houses, board and care homes for the 352 00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:57,240 Speaker 1: developmentally disabled and emotionally disturbed and UM. He had very 353 00:20:57,240 --> 00:21:01,199 Speaker 1: little secondary education, I believe none. He was a comic 354 00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:05,040 Speaker 1: and he got twelve he got who was left and 355 00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:09,639 Speaker 1: so twelve adults lived in a fratern converted fraternity house 356 00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:12,399 Speaker 1: on Frat Row by the San Jose State Campus in 357 00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:16,560 Speaker 1: San Jose, California, and we lived in the house with them, 358 00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:19,359 Speaker 1: and then two years later we had enough money to 359 00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:21,760 Speaker 1: get the house next door. My dad cut a hole 360 00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:24,160 Speaker 1: in the fence so he could get to work quicker, 361 00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:28,680 Speaker 1: and um they became my family. And over the sixteen 362 00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:33,159 Speaker 1: years that my dad ran this home, UM, we cared 363 00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:38,439 Speaker 1: for close to three hundred and fifty adults with disabilities 364 00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:45,080 Speaker 1: UM mental disabilities, and nobody ever really got better, They 365 00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:49,040 Speaker 1: just became. So I have had a giant family. And 366 00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:53,640 Speaker 1: what this did to my cartoon and my acting abilities 367 00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:56,760 Speaker 1: is that I never judge a book by its cover. 368 00:21:57,200 --> 00:22:00,520 Speaker 1: And I learned very very very early on to watch 369 00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:06,640 Speaker 1: people very closely for safety as well as oddity, as 370 00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:11,359 Speaker 1: well as of a fascinating life study. But when I 371 00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:16,000 Speaker 1: get a character, I am now looking beyond the pale 372 00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:20,359 Speaker 1: for the similarities to me, because you would never see. 373 00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:24,520 Speaker 1: I mean, we had a reputation milow Arms Hi, the 374 00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:26,800 Speaker 1: name of the house Hi, that was on the side 375 00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:28,600 Speaker 1: of a van that I had to ride to school. 376 00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:32,639 Speaker 1: And when I was nine, I'm not damaged at all. Um, 377 00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:36,680 Speaker 1: I it was like judging a book by its cover. 378 00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:41,640 Speaker 1: You want to immediately dissociate yourself from anybody. I am 379 00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:45,399 Speaker 1: not like that. I am quote unquote normal, I am fine, 380 00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:48,320 Speaker 1: And I was the type of kid that said, Wow, 381 00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:51,280 Speaker 1: we both like the archies. That's weird. Wow, we both 382 00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:54,680 Speaker 1: like Abbas Abbas, that's weird. Wow. You love your mom 383 00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:57,400 Speaker 1: and dad and I love my mom and dad. Wow, 384 00:22:57,640 --> 00:23:02,440 Speaker 1: you take medication and I don't yet yet. So that's 385 00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:05,919 Speaker 1: how I think it informed me was um And I 386 00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:08,320 Speaker 1: learned later that was kind of a cool thing, you 387 00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:12,560 Speaker 1: guys that rather than looking distancing myself, which I did 388 00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:15,800 Speaker 1: in the beginning I was eight of nine years old, 389 00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:18,760 Speaker 1: I started to look for the similarities. So when I 390 00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:23,120 Speaker 1: see a way out their character, like a Dexter from 391 00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:28,240 Speaker 1: Dexter's laboratory, we that has a a laboratory in his 392 00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:31,600 Speaker 1: basement that his parents don't know about, right that, I 393 00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:35,000 Speaker 1: look at those similarities and what is he hiding? And 394 00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:38,960 Speaker 1: why does he consistently have to hide his genius um? 395 00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:42,359 Speaker 1: And what are the consequences that he does? And where 396 00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:44,760 Speaker 1: can he lose his temper and tell everybody that he 397 00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:48,440 Speaker 1: is a that he has dexter breaking? Yes, how could 398 00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:52,919 Speaker 1: he tell everybody he is? So I think that that 399 00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:55,080 Speaker 1: is how it did it. I'd like to tell people 400 00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:58,639 Speaker 1: it is not my book is not character funny. No 401 00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:02,560 Speaker 1: one is being made fun of. That's the the actual opposite. 402 00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:06,639 Speaker 1: It's situational funny. It's putting a bunch of uneducated people 403 00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:12,080 Speaker 1: in a home, uh with development. And our family was 404 00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:15,760 Speaker 1: a bunch of uneducated people in a home with people 405 00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:19,000 Speaker 1: who were struggling to belong to a family, and we 406 00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:21,880 Speaker 1: were the people teaching them how to tell a joke 407 00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:26,040 Speaker 1: so that they didn't become a joke and function in society. 408 00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:30,560 Speaker 1: And I think my dad did a really great thing, um, 409 00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:33,359 Speaker 1: and he was one of the it was. It was 410 00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:39,000 Speaker 1: kind of amazing. And I've watched, um, you know, documentaries, 411 00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:42,320 Speaker 1: and I've watched people that have home businesses like you 412 00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:46,320 Speaker 1: think they've got funeral parlors, and we've had series about this, 413 00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:52,080 Speaker 1: and it really just was an odd family business. This 414 00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:56,240 Speaker 1: is what we did. They went everywhere with us, We 415 00:24:56,280 --> 00:25:00,440 Speaker 1: went everywhere with them. UM. I think in my personal 416 00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:02,720 Speaker 1: life there's a little reason I live alone. UM, I 417 00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:05,239 Speaker 1: have been married, but I did now I'm alone. Is 418 00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:10,880 Speaker 1: that I, as a young kid, became the adult very quickly. 419 00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:15,480 Speaker 1: And it's really hard to curb that. When you're eight 420 00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:18,200 Speaker 1: or nine years old and you're telling somebody you will 421 00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:21,480 Speaker 1: not do that, you will not say that, you will 422 00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:26,760 Speaker 1: not wear that, you just become this little authoritative kid 423 00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:30,160 Speaker 1: and it's hard to break. It's hard to break that. 424 00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:34,520 Speaker 1: So um, that's the that's the downside, um. But learning 425 00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:39,080 Speaker 1: humility and compassion, um was definitely the upside. Well now 426 00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:42,600 Speaker 1: with both you and your father or your father especially 427 00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:45,320 Speaker 1: at the time, but you probably already showing the talent 428 00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:49,119 Speaker 1: both being performers. Did you ever perform for the people 429 00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:52,080 Speaker 1: that were in your home? I mean, were you? Were 430 00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:56,040 Speaker 1: you performing for the people that were there? Um? When 431 00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:59,240 Speaker 1: I was a fresh was freshman or sophomore in high school, 432 00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:02,359 Speaker 1: I got the lead Dolly and Hello Dolly, and my 433 00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:05,600 Speaker 1: dad thought it was a great idea to bring eight 434 00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:09,440 Speaker 1: of our residents to the performance of Hello Dolly, put 435 00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:12,920 Speaker 1: them in the front row, and teach them the overture 436 00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:17,480 Speaker 1: for Brigadoon. So um. When the overture started playing with 437 00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:22,479 Speaker 1: the high school band off key, they started singing Briga Dune, 438 00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:26,200 Speaker 1: Brigadoon and it should be like put on your Sunday 439 00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:30,280 Speaker 1: clothes when you feel down. So um. Yeah, my dad 440 00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:33,840 Speaker 1: was very funny and I'm scared, but that's neither here there. 441 00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:38,040 Speaker 1: But I remember the director, who was also the theater teacher, 442 00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:43,080 Speaker 1: saying warning everybody that there were developmentally disabled adults in 443 00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:45,159 Speaker 1: the front row, and that they were there to have 444 00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:47,240 Speaker 1: a good time and to put on the show anyway. 445 00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:50,920 Speaker 1: And I'm like Homer Simpson fading into a hedge. Right, 446 00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:54,080 Speaker 1: I am going to kill my father. I am going 447 00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:56,560 Speaker 1: to kill him. And I remember I walked out in 448 00:26:56,600 --> 00:27:00,240 Speaker 1: the black and the lights came up and they gave 449 00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:04,360 Speaker 1: me a standing ovation. And I realized that they did 450 00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:07,000 Speaker 1: that because I did something they would never be able 451 00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:11,120 Speaker 1: to do, which was to stand on a stage and perform. 452 00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:16,280 Speaker 1: And I think that was a golden lesson UM. But 453 00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:19,560 Speaker 1: I my dad was not a big supporter of UM 454 00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:22,679 Speaker 1: the whole show biz career. He came really yeah, he 455 00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:26,359 Speaker 1: came up very hard in the fourties and fifties, and 456 00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:31,119 Speaker 1: women in show business, in his estimation, got there two ways. 457 00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:35,200 Speaker 1: They married well, or they work or the other way. 458 00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:38,320 Speaker 1: So he was like, no, no, no. And I was 459 00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:41,280 Speaker 1: a bright and curious kid. I had skipped grades. I 460 00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:44,320 Speaker 1: he wanted me to go to law school. I did 461 00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:47,280 Speaker 1: go to college. I did do pre law, and I 462 00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:50,320 Speaker 1: was pretty much out of there in a year and 463 00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:53,000 Speaker 1: a half. And I did get my degree as an 464 00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:56,560 Speaker 1: adult UM and ended up getting a B a UM 465 00:27:56,600 --> 00:28:00,240 Speaker 1: as an adult on the weekends. UM, but I I 466 00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:02,920 Speaker 1: wish that he had been more supportive. In my book, 467 00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:06,119 Speaker 1: there is a picture of him singing with me, which 468 00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:10,840 Speaker 1: was one of the only times that he ever performed 469 00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:14,120 Speaker 1: with me. And then we we did have a piano, 470 00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:19,119 Speaker 1: but we we were not UM. When we lived in 471 00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:21,359 Speaker 1: the home with them, it was a fraternity house, so 472 00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:24,280 Speaker 1: we were in the den mother's unit, which was a 473 00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:27,399 Speaker 1: two bedroom UM thing. So we were it was a 474 00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:29,600 Speaker 1: two bedroom in office and for the time being it 475 00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:32,760 Speaker 1: was our place. And while we would eat meals with 476 00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:38,840 Speaker 1: them and watch TV, they were very much independent and 477 00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:43,560 Speaker 1: their own people, and they did their own things UM. 478 00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:45,680 Speaker 1: And then during the day we went to school and 479 00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:48,000 Speaker 1: they went and did their thing, and then it would 480 00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:53,200 Speaker 1: start all over again. So now if you're if you're 481 00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:57,840 Speaker 1: if your father wasn't a huge proponent, which I totally understand. 482 00:28:57,920 --> 00:29:00,320 Speaker 1: I write kids and I don't particularly with them in 483 00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:03,200 Speaker 1: the business. But if it happens, it happens kind of thing. 484 00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:05,880 Speaker 1: You know, I won't stand in your way, right, But 485 00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:12,400 Speaker 1: how did you find how did you get that technique? 486 00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:15,360 Speaker 1: If you were on a whole another UM, Well, I 487 00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:19,160 Speaker 1: will say that, uh my parents wouldn't give me piano lessons, 488 00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:23,160 Speaker 1: so I taught myself piano. I taught myself um how 489 00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:25,960 Speaker 1: to sing, and I got my first professional job at 490 00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:31,240 Speaker 1: Marriott's Great America UM singing in a theme park at fifteen. 491 00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:33,840 Speaker 1: And then I performed when I was sixteen. Um, do 492 00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:37,640 Speaker 1: you remember what she's on? Do you want to know? 493 00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:39,760 Speaker 1: How did you sing? At the theme park? I am 494 00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:43,880 Speaker 1: a woman, heard me row in numbers too big to 495 00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:47,120 Speaker 1: ignore piano string breaks. I look at the piano player 496 00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:49,400 Speaker 1: and tell her to stop playing and finish the song 497 00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:52,840 Speaker 1: a cappella, and they were like, when will you be 498 00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:58,560 Speaker 1: sixteen January? Okay, good UM. And then I was doing 499 00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:03,800 Speaker 1: Broadway hits in the theme park and I sang Annie 500 00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:07,680 Speaker 1: in a bright red wig and I sang um and 501 00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:12,520 Speaker 1: I could tap um, so I um tapped this whole 502 00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:15,760 Speaker 1: American I'm like in a red, white and blue outfit. 503 00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:20,280 Speaker 1: And so it was the Broadway show in nineteen seventy seven, 504 00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:24,200 Speaker 1: the summer of seventy seven, and I was making minimum wage. 505 00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:30,480 Speaker 1: And this is again now. Was your father actively trying 506 00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:33,920 Speaker 1: to keep you away from the industry or was it 507 00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:35,600 Speaker 1: like Christie said, where it's like I'm not going to help, 508 00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:37,240 Speaker 1: but I'm also not going to stand in your way 509 00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:42,000 Speaker 1: right at this point. UM, it was interesting at this 510 00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:45,440 Speaker 1: point he was not saying don't, don't, don't, but he 511 00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:48,560 Speaker 1: wasn't helping. And when I was struggling because I was 512 00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:52,320 Speaker 1: a big, huge belter, like a Broadway belter, and I 513 00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:56,560 Speaker 1: kept losing my voice because my technique was wrong, his 514 00:30:56,640 --> 00:30:59,080 Speaker 1: way of helping me was to say, you're flat and 515 00:30:59,080 --> 00:31:03,760 Speaker 1: you're not getting enough air. Okay, thanks, thanks so much 516 00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:07,760 Speaker 1: for identifying the problem that I'm aware of. But I did. 517 00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:11,880 Speaker 1: I did eventually pay for my own UM, and it 518 00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:16,160 Speaker 1: was just something we just we didn't talk about. And 519 00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:18,720 Speaker 1: then at the very end of his life, I had done, 520 00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:23,840 Speaker 1: um a movie with Dick Clark and NBC called Reaching 521 00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:28,320 Speaker 1: for the Stars UM and it was the first docu drama. 522 00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:31,880 Speaker 1: It was the first reality movie of the week, and 523 00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:36,040 Speaker 1: UM he was very ill and I remember telling him 524 00:31:36,080 --> 00:31:37,520 Speaker 1: that I got this, and he said, what do you 525 00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:39,760 Speaker 1: mean You're going to play you? What do you mean? 526 00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:41,920 Speaker 1: What do you what do you ever done? And I 527 00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:44,280 Speaker 1: was like, well, I think that's what we're about to 528 00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:47,320 Speaker 1: find out, is what I can do. And I think 529 00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:52,640 Speaker 1: that he just, you know, he never let go of nightclubs. 530 00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:56,200 Speaker 1: I mean, he opened for Cab, Callaway and Strong, and 531 00:31:56,200 --> 00:31:59,880 Speaker 1: he traveled with Louis Prima and Keeley Smith and he's 532 00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:04,320 Speaker 1: another life. It was a lifetime ago. And he only 533 00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:08,520 Speaker 1: stopped because nightclubs stopped. That's the only reason. And it 534 00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:11,040 Speaker 1: was such a lifestyle to back in the day. I mean, 535 00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:13,400 Speaker 1: the whole nightclub thing was just so I mean from 536 00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:16,280 Speaker 1: what I've read, and no, obviously it was it was 537 00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:20,560 Speaker 1: hard drinking, it was late at night. It was gals, 538 00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:24,640 Speaker 1: it was drinks. It was the rat pack, and it 539 00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:27,320 Speaker 1: was like rock stars, like yes, you know, it was 540 00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:30,280 Speaker 1: not being on the road, and that was it. And 541 00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:34,000 Speaker 1: you know, what's my Am I on a plane? Am 542 00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:37,120 Speaker 1: I on a train? Where am I going? How many nights? 543 00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:39,360 Speaker 1: How many shows? How long of a show? Who's going 544 00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:43,440 Speaker 1: to pay me? It really was, it really was, And 545 00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:46,680 Speaker 1: it was all analog. There was no digital. There was 546 00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:49,920 Speaker 1: like paper plane tickets. Um. And when my mom did 547 00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:53,240 Speaker 1: pass away last year, I found all of this. I 548 00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:59,960 Speaker 1: found his his calendar while he was in the USO, 549 00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:02,680 Speaker 1: which used to be a branch of the service. By 550 00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:06,600 Speaker 1: the way, he was in the USO in Denang in 551 00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:10,800 Speaker 1: Vietnam and they had a schedule of when you did 552 00:33:10,840 --> 00:33:13,560 Speaker 1: the Officers Club, and then you performed for the guys, 553 00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:16,480 Speaker 1: and then where you performed, because if you had a 554 00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:19,360 Speaker 1: show and you weren't on Bob Hope's tour, you couldn't 555 00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:23,440 Speaker 1: perform your show anywhere near So he when Bob Hope 556 00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:25,720 Speaker 1: came in, they sent him out to the guys in 557 00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:29,960 Speaker 1: the jungle and and so it was like a grind. Um. 558 00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:32,280 Speaker 1: You know, he had smoke for Sinatra. He was like, 559 00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:35,240 Speaker 1: I don't know why he had Joey Bishop. Why couldn't 560 00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:38,840 Speaker 1: you hire another guy like me? And um, I was like, 561 00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:42,800 Speaker 1: probably your attitude, Dad, I'm just saying probably the fact 562 00:33:42,840 --> 00:33:45,360 Speaker 1: that you're making a hand gestures like you're like you're 563 00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:49,640 Speaker 1: a mobster. So I, um, I think that that was 564 00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:54,920 Speaker 1: really tough. But also in his papers, guys was um 565 00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:59,360 Speaker 1: about sixteen letters of commendation for his work with the 566 00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:05,120 Speaker 1: disabled children and vets that he always had this thing 567 00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:08,840 Speaker 1: and and just so you know, his idea was that 568 00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:12,200 Speaker 1: his home, Milo Arms Board and care home was going 569 00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:16,680 Speaker 1: to be four veterans, and uh, we didn't get any veterans. 570 00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:20,080 Speaker 1: That's still amazing though. Okay, so the book is surviving 571 00:34:20,080 --> 00:34:22,279 Speaker 1: the odd. It comes out on October four. And also 572 00:34:22,320 --> 00:34:24,200 Speaker 1: you're gonna be doing a book signing at Bars and 573 00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:26,560 Speaker 1: Noble at the Grove and the signing is Theft, so 574 00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:30,040 Speaker 1: everybody come out and see Candy. Uh. The story is 575 00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:36,759 Speaker 1: absolutely incredible. But speaking of incredible stories, so we did you? Now, 576 00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:38,600 Speaker 1: I want to get into Dexter because obviously I'm a 577 00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:41,239 Speaker 1: big fan and how and how you came up with 578 00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:42,680 Speaker 1: the voices and all that stuff, but I got I 579 00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:44,880 Speaker 1: want to take it back a little bit farther, just 580 00:34:44,880 --> 00:34:47,319 Speaker 1: just very briefly, because we always like to know did 581 00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:51,200 Speaker 1: you grow up watching cartoons? Were you did of animated 582 00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:54,000 Speaker 1: series and which ones were they? Okay, so, first of all, 583 00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:57,200 Speaker 1: I was a huge fan of the Three Stooges, which 584 00:34:57,239 --> 00:34:59,920 Speaker 1: is why I was a huge fan of Looney Tunes. 585 00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:04,480 Speaker 1: And that's what Looney Tunes is for your for your 586 00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:10,799 Speaker 1: fans who don't know, watch on YouTube, old old three Stooges, 587 00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:13,240 Speaker 1: and you know, it's got to be Three Stooges with Curly. 588 00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:16,600 Speaker 1: I like Shemp. I loved Curly. I thought I was 589 00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:22,480 Speaker 1: cur is daff Who is Daffy Duck? That's who Curly is. 590 00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:27,839 Speaker 1: And and when Daffy gets mean, he shimp like it's late. 591 00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:31,360 Speaker 1: It's the oddest, It's what I did. I also watched 592 00:35:31,600 --> 00:35:36,120 Speaker 1: The Perils of Penelope Pitstop the jay Ward cartoons, of 593 00:35:36,320 --> 00:35:41,360 Speaker 1: which June Foray was also a huge part. So um, 594 00:35:41,400 --> 00:35:45,320 Speaker 1: I did watch that, and then I wasn't really into 595 00:35:45,880 --> 00:35:49,040 Speaker 1: I like Josie and the Pussycats. I didn't see myself 596 00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:53,960 Speaker 1: in it. No, I didn't. I didn't. I watched Fat Albert, 597 00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:57,640 Speaker 1: I watched the Jackson five, but I started, I really have. 598 00:35:57,840 --> 00:36:01,000 Speaker 1: And I'm not even saying that because that's brand. I'm 599 00:36:01,040 --> 00:36:04,719 Speaker 1: telling you. I was a huge fan and that's what 600 00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:10,080 Speaker 1: I grew up on. That's what I find still funny today. 601 00:36:10,120 --> 00:36:12,319 Speaker 1: And there is a Looney Tunes cartoon that we do 602 00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:16,200 Speaker 1: on HBO Max that I think Alex Kerwin and m 603 00:36:17,600 --> 00:36:21,360 Speaker 1: and Pete and everybody who's involved with that, they really 604 00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:25,759 Speaker 1: have that old Looney Tunes ninet forties sensibility. They're very 605 00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:28,560 Speaker 1: fast and funny. But with cell phones, that's what I say. 606 00:36:28,600 --> 00:36:31,239 Speaker 1: That's the difference with this new thing is that we've 607 00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:35,200 Speaker 1: added in some technology, but it's very much bam bam, bam, bam, 608 00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:37,560 Speaker 1: bam bam, set up, set up, jokes, set up, set up, jokes, 609 00:36:37,560 --> 00:36:42,480 Speaker 1: set up, set up, It's It's great. Chrissie Kavanaugh is 610 00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:46,200 Speaker 1: the original voice of Dexter from Dexter's Lab, and she 611 00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:51,840 Speaker 1: quit completely quit voice acting, UM, and they were shelving 612 00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:55,200 Speaker 1: um Dexter. They were going to get rid of it. 613 00:36:55,280 --> 00:36:58,280 Speaker 1: She had done I think a year and a half 614 00:36:58,520 --> 00:37:01,200 Speaker 1: and then they had a year and a half of 615 00:37:01,239 --> 00:37:04,360 Speaker 1: her in the Can you quit a voice acting? No 616 00:37:04,440 --> 00:37:09,160 Speaker 1: offense to Chrissy, but I just wonder why. And she's 617 00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:11,600 Speaker 1: no longer living, so I can't ask her. But she 618 00:37:11,719 --> 00:37:14,040 Speaker 1: and I were good friends because we had the same 619 00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:18,520 Speaker 1: um on camera agents and um. We were both trying 620 00:37:18,520 --> 00:37:21,040 Speaker 1: to get on Sketch TV. That was our big deal, 621 00:37:21,160 --> 00:37:24,319 Speaker 1: testing for Mad or in Living Color, and Roseanne Barr 622 00:37:24,440 --> 00:37:27,359 Speaker 1: had a sketch show that she got on and I 623 00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:30,840 Speaker 1: was testing for mad and I was testing for in 624 00:37:30,920 --> 00:37:35,560 Speaker 1: Living Color and it just I could never get it um. 625 00:37:35,640 --> 00:37:40,400 Speaker 1: And she just, I mean, she was chucky. She was babe. 626 00:37:40,760 --> 00:37:45,040 Speaker 1: And I think she said, I've I've had enough. And 627 00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:48,840 Speaker 1: so I in my speaking voice if I put on 628 00:37:49,040 --> 00:37:51,359 Speaker 1: if I talk like this, and I've had a little 629 00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:53,839 Speaker 1: hustomat voice, and I had a little bit of an 630 00:37:53,840 --> 00:37:57,680 Speaker 1: accent this is what Chris Cavin I'll sound like. So 631 00:37:58,719 --> 00:38:00,880 Speaker 1: my agent at the time Times said, I want you 632 00:38:00,920 --> 00:38:06,200 Speaker 1: to slate in Chrissy's speaking voice. Interesting and um. Gendy 633 00:38:06,280 --> 00:38:10,480 Speaker 1: Tartakovsky picked me and I ended up doing eight years 634 00:38:10,560 --> 00:38:13,560 Speaker 1: of it. And then the voice of the episodes that 635 00:38:13,600 --> 00:38:17,880 Speaker 1: they had in the can that she did I read 636 00:38:18,200 --> 00:38:26,040 Speaker 1: voiced um. And then so she is credited. We're both credited, 637 00:38:26,120 --> 00:38:28,920 Speaker 1: but she's no longer living, so I get the residuals. 638 00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:32,120 Speaker 1: But we we go back and forth depending on who 639 00:38:32,200 --> 00:38:37,560 Speaker 1: licenses it, of whose voice it is, and whose voice 640 00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:42,560 Speaker 1: it really is. Is Gendy Tartakovsky that is exactly sense 641 00:38:42,680 --> 00:38:45,719 Speaker 1: like a French Russian guy sounds exactly like this. He 642 00:38:45,719 --> 00:38:48,680 Speaker 1: would say, I don't know how to tell you to 643 00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:51,920 Speaker 1: go up uncertain words, because Chrissy would go up and 644 00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:54,320 Speaker 1: I was like, Chrissie was nuts. She also had her 645 00:38:54,360 --> 00:38:58,600 Speaker 1: own sense of humor. I have a different sense of humor, 646 00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:02,759 Speaker 1: of a loony UNEs sense of yes, you have a sense. 647 00:39:03,400 --> 00:39:05,640 Speaker 1: I have a stuge sense of humor. So when you 648 00:39:05,719 --> 00:39:08,799 Speaker 1: hit the joke, I'm gonna hammer it to let the 649 00:39:08,920 --> 00:39:12,440 Speaker 1: kids at home know this is the joke. And Chrissie's 650 00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:16,240 Speaker 1: method of method of joke telling was to go away 651 00:39:16,280 --> 00:39:19,960 Speaker 1: from the joke that another that it was in the animation, 652 00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:22,480 Speaker 1: do you know what I mean? So like Dexter would 653 00:39:22,520 --> 00:39:24,520 Speaker 1: say something like man Dark, I'm going to get you, 654 00:39:24,560 --> 00:39:26,759 Speaker 1: and then it would be closing on Man Dark with 655 00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:30,440 Speaker 1: blink blink, with the piano key sound, blink blink, and 656 00:39:31,320 --> 00:39:33,960 Speaker 1: it was just different. But I did do I think 657 00:39:34,040 --> 00:39:39,920 Speaker 1: seven years of episodes and it's been it's been amazing. 658 00:39:40,080 --> 00:39:46,200 Speaker 1: I mean, it's a phenomenal show, well acted, well crafted, 659 00:39:47,040 --> 00:39:51,400 Speaker 1: animated series. I mean it was, and I for years 660 00:39:51,520 --> 00:39:56,080 Speaker 1: was saying to agents, um, because it is it behooved them. 661 00:39:56,120 --> 00:39:59,680 Speaker 1: Although the agent that handled me for Dexter handled Chrissie 662 00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:03,080 Speaker 1: as well. I mean, so when Christie quit, they had 663 00:40:03,120 --> 00:40:06,200 Speaker 1: her in me and she was happy that I would 664 00:40:06,200 --> 00:40:08,680 Speaker 1: be able to do it because we were friends. Our 665 00:40:08,800 --> 00:40:12,480 Speaker 1: voiceover agent was the same person. But they used to say, 666 00:40:12,560 --> 00:40:14,880 Speaker 1: when you go out on tour or if you go 667 00:40:14,960 --> 00:40:18,600 Speaker 1: to cons, don't tell people you didn't create the voice. 668 00:40:18,680 --> 00:40:20,440 Speaker 1: And I was like, you know, that's kind of creepy. 669 00:40:20,880 --> 00:40:24,000 Speaker 1: I think I can imitate her. It eventually became me, 670 00:40:24,640 --> 00:40:29,600 Speaker 1: but at the beginning get wanted Chrissie, that's who we wanted. 671 00:40:29,680 --> 00:40:34,840 Speaker 1: He wanted you audition originally as well. No, because it 672 00:40:35,080 --> 00:40:42,239 Speaker 1: was an art school thing and he sent it. Um 673 00:40:42,280 --> 00:40:45,160 Speaker 1: that's what it was. It went to I believe and 674 00:40:45,200 --> 00:40:49,240 Speaker 1: forgive me. It could have started, you guys at Hannah 675 00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:53,560 Speaker 1: Barbara because one was bought by Time. Time was bought 676 00:40:53,600 --> 00:40:56,440 Speaker 1: by Warner Warner blah blah blah blah blah, and then 677 00:40:56,440 --> 00:41:00,160 Speaker 1: We've Got Kids w B Cartoon Network. It was all 678 00:41:00,239 --> 00:41:03,200 Speaker 1: under the same umbrella. I believe. It's also We're Butch 679 00:41:03,520 --> 00:41:08,080 Speaker 1: Hartman and Seth McFarland started and Andrea Romano and Andrea 680 00:41:08,160 --> 00:41:11,640 Speaker 1: Romano in the Hannah Barbera Stable and I think it 681 00:41:11,760 --> 00:41:16,040 Speaker 1: was a short and I was doing other shorts there 682 00:41:16,160 --> 00:41:20,040 Speaker 1: that got picked up another short, Um Kenny and the 683 00:41:20,120 --> 00:41:23,360 Speaker 1: Chimp with Tom Kenny.

It's really amazing. So it's amazing. The thing 717 00:43:26,800 --> 00:43:31,640 Speaker 1: that we love is what everybody learns from different voice 718 00:43:31,680 --> 00:43:33,400 Speaker 1: over actors that we have on the show is the 719 00:43:33,880 --> 00:43:36,839 Speaker 1: kind of you know, they're they're picking up different techniques, 720 00:43:36,920 --> 00:43:39,000 Speaker 1: different tidbits from everybody here. And one of the things 721 00:43:39,040 --> 00:43:40,640 Speaker 1: that I thought was really interesting about you when I 722 00:43:40,680 --> 00:43:42,680 Speaker 1: was doing the Deep Dive is one of the things 723 00:43:42,680 --> 00:43:44,799 Speaker 1: you spoke about a lot in a bunch of the 724 00:43:44,800 --> 00:43:47,000 Speaker 1: different interviews I watched, And that's something that I don't 725 00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:49,040 Speaker 1: think it has talked about enough and I think could 726 00:43:49,080 --> 00:43:52,680 Speaker 1: so benefit some of the amateur actors out there. Is 727 00:43:53,080 --> 00:43:57,799 Speaker 1: your prep time before you start a job, and you 728 00:43:57,880 --> 00:44:01,239 Speaker 1: prepped the same way you prepped to sing. So I 729 00:44:01,280 --> 00:44:03,200 Speaker 1: was curious if you could kind of walk us through 730 00:44:03,239 --> 00:44:06,560 Speaker 1: how you prep your voice to get ready to do 731 00:44:06,680 --> 00:44:09,920 Speaker 1: some of these longer sessions or more grueling sessions, or 732 00:44:10,040 --> 00:44:13,120 Speaker 1: or what can the amateur actor do? Because the last 733 00:44:13,120 --> 00:44:14,440 Speaker 1: thing you want to do is you were saying when 734 00:44:14,480 --> 00:44:17,239 Speaker 1: you were singing and you were losing your voice as 735 00:44:17,280 --> 00:44:19,480 Speaker 1: you're singing. You don't want to destroy your instruments. So 736 00:44:19,880 --> 00:44:22,920 Speaker 1: how how do you prep before you get started? There 737 00:44:22,960 --> 00:44:25,880 Speaker 1: are and and for for those of you that are 738 00:44:25,920 --> 00:44:29,680 Speaker 1: you know, financially challenged. UM you can do this on YouTube, 739 00:44:30,040 --> 00:44:32,879 Speaker 1: but I have a set, have two sets of warm 740 00:44:32,960 --> 00:44:36,640 Speaker 1: ups there twelve minutes each um minor from a vocal 741 00:44:36,680 --> 00:44:40,759 Speaker 1: teacher in l A Bob Garrett, but he offers. He's 742 00:44:40,880 --> 00:44:44,560 Speaker 1: also on Instagram. He does things called vocal gyms. I 743 00:44:44,680 --> 00:44:49,240 Speaker 1: do UH a twelve minute warm up, starting with humming, 744 00:44:49,520 --> 00:44:52,719 Speaker 1: just low hums, but I don't humm a scale. I 745 00:44:52,840 --> 00:44:55,239 Speaker 1: stay on one note to hear where the cracks are, 746 00:44:55,719 --> 00:45:00,120 Speaker 1: so it's just a and then I'll go up have 747 00:45:00,280 --> 00:45:05,239 Speaker 1: steps or just until I get to the top, and 748 00:45:05,280 --> 00:45:08,080 Speaker 1: then I'll go back down. Then I do lip trills 749 00:45:10,280 --> 00:45:13,759 Speaker 1: up and down, um to a scale, and then I 750 00:45:13,960 --> 00:45:17,680 Speaker 1: warm up three sets of my instrument, which is the belt, 751 00:45:18,239 --> 00:45:22,120 Speaker 1: the mid or the passagio, which is really in your mask, 752 00:45:22,200 --> 00:45:25,240 Speaker 1: which is your face. Think of yourself wearing a mask. 753 00:45:25,680 --> 00:45:28,680 Speaker 1: It's up there. And then I do my high voice. 754 00:45:29,280 --> 00:45:34,279 Speaker 1: I will do this every single day, and I did 755 00:45:34,320 --> 00:45:36,719 Speaker 1: it before I talked to you. I did it just 756 00:45:36,760 --> 00:45:39,239 Speaker 1: because I knew we were going to talk and I'd 757 00:45:39,239 --> 00:45:42,560 Speaker 1: be excited, so like i'd scream or I do something 758 00:45:42,600 --> 00:45:46,080 Speaker 1: gut around and be shot, you know, And that's all 759 00:45:46,120 --> 00:45:48,960 Speaker 1: it takes. Especially someone who has a little age on 760 00:45:49,040 --> 00:45:50,880 Speaker 1: their voice, you have to do it. Then I do 761 00:45:50,960 --> 00:45:53,960 Speaker 1: my gig, and one of the things that warming up 762 00:45:53,960 --> 00:45:56,640 Speaker 1: will do is that they'll take all screams and everything 763 00:45:56,800 --> 00:46:00,239 Speaker 1: out of your throat and put it in your mouth usk. 764 00:46:00,560 --> 00:46:03,400 Speaker 1: There is a way for you to scream nasally and 765 00:46:03,520 --> 00:46:06,759 Speaker 1: not scream gutturally. I will do my gig, and then 766 00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:10,720 Speaker 1: I get in the car and I have a warm down, 767 00:46:11,640 --> 00:46:14,760 Speaker 1: especially if I'm doing something like when I did Maya 768 00:46:14,880 --> 00:46:18,400 Speaker 1: Miguel and she was really high like this. It was 769 00:46:18,480 --> 00:46:21,240 Speaker 1: so freaking hard that by the end of the session 770 00:46:21,560 --> 00:46:25,000 Speaker 1: my my larynx was up by my ears. So I 771 00:46:25,120 --> 00:46:29,200 Speaker 1: cooled down, which is none of the hard selty things 772 00:46:29,360 --> 00:46:33,840 Speaker 1: I do, the lip trills and the humming from the top, 773 00:46:34,640 --> 00:46:37,440 Speaker 1: only going down, and I usually do that in the 774 00:46:37,480 --> 00:46:46,000 Speaker 1: car going home. So it's like, do you lower lower? 775 00:46:48,520 --> 00:46:50,359 Speaker 1: And I do that three or four times, and then 776 00:46:50,760 --> 00:46:54,839 Speaker 1: it is the hums starting high, going all the way 777 00:46:54,840 --> 00:46:58,240 Speaker 1: down to the bottom, and it releases your larynx, releases 778 00:46:58,280 --> 00:47:01,920 Speaker 1: your shoulders. But if you don't cool down, your larynx 779 00:47:01,960 --> 00:47:05,759 Speaker 1: stays up there and it exhausts it. It's just exhausts. 780 00:47:05,760 --> 00:47:10,359 Speaker 1: So true. So I went to Joan later who um 781 00:47:10,920 --> 00:47:13,880 Speaker 1: really was helping me. I was Belle on Broadway, and 782 00:47:14,120 --> 00:47:18,840 Speaker 1: yes you were. And I had had um double nodule 783 00:47:18,920 --> 00:47:23,520 Speaker 1: remote removal prior to booking the job, and in two 784 00:47:23,560 --> 00:47:26,480 Speaker 1: months time I was on Broadway and so that actually 785 00:47:26,520 --> 00:47:29,720 Speaker 1: it was maybe like more three or four months. But um, after, 786 00:47:29,760 --> 00:47:32,200 Speaker 1: you know, that was not the case. Usually you're supposed 787 00:47:32,200 --> 00:47:35,080 Speaker 1: to take a year after getting knowledge surgery, and I was, 788 00:47:35,360 --> 00:47:38,640 Speaker 1: you know, nineteen and desperate to to get in there. 789 00:47:38,719 --> 00:47:41,399 Speaker 1: So Disney was like, okay, whatever, whatever works, and sort 790 00:47:41,440 --> 00:47:44,120 Speaker 1: of they kind of they kind of didn't look they 791 00:47:44,160 --> 00:47:46,239 Speaker 1: looked the other way so that I could get as 792 00:47:46,239 --> 00:47:49,800 Speaker 1: long as you're saying. And so it was very hard 793 00:47:49,920 --> 00:47:53,600 Speaker 1: to maintain my integrity of my instruments. So when I 794 00:47:53,600 --> 00:47:56,120 Speaker 1: went to this woman Joan later, who's i'd say, one 795 00:47:56,120 --> 00:48:01,680 Speaker 1: of the premier um, you know and voice coaches for 796 00:48:01,880 --> 00:48:06,000 Speaker 1: Broadway performers and singers. Um. And so she did exactly 797 00:48:06,080 --> 00:48:08,880 Speaker 1: the same thing. She would tell me the exactly to 798 00:48:09,000 --> 00:48:11,640 Speaker 1: the warm up and then the cool down, which I 799 00:48:11,680 --> 00:48:15,399 Speaker 1: had never heard of before, and right um, and it's 800 00:48:15,440 --> 00:48:19,480 Speaker 1: it is so vital I think for the investment of 801 00:48:19,520 --> 00:48:24,520 Speaker 1: the longevity of your voice. And I'm unashamed to say, Christie, 802 00:48:24,560 --> 00:48:27,080 Speaker 1: I will and will I will say it. I'm I'm 803 00:48:27,200 --> 00:48:34,160 Speaker 1: sixty one and I probably have another thirty years definitely 804 00:48:34,239 --> 00:48:37,839 Speaker 1: voice acting. What tends to slow down is breathing, Like 805 00:48:37,840 --> 00:48:39,920 Speaker 1: it gets as you get older. It's harder and harder 806 00:48:39,960 --> 00:48:43,040 Speaker 1: to take a twenty six year old breath. And do 807 00:48:43,320 --> 00:48:48,120 Speaker 1: you know I credit this, Christie, I credit to the 808 00:48:48,120 --> 00:48:53,319 Speaker 1: warm down. My longevity is the warm down. And I 809 00:48:53,320 --> 00:48:57,040 Speaker 1: would say to everybody listening, if you don't have twelve 810 00:48:57,080 --> 00:49:00,520 Speaker 1: minutes or you've forgotten and you're walking in how and 811 00:49:00,640 --> 00:49:03,359 Speaker 1: lip trill and then hum and lip trill on your 812 00:49:03,400 --> 00:49:07,960 Speaker 1: way out, But you can't go in shouting cold. You 813 00:49:08,040 --> 00:49:10,840 Speaker 1: will double nodule. That's what I got at sixteen, was 814 00:49:10,880 --> 00:49:15,279 Speaker 1: a double nodule, and the only way which would make 815 00:49:15,280 --> 00:49:18,960 Speaker 1: it nineteen seventy seven that they could take those off 816 00:49:19,440 --> 00:49:27,560 Speaker 1: was scraping them off and praying that you didn't scab. Yeah, 817 00:49:27,680 --> 00:49:30,160 Speaker 1: so it didn't get that much easier too. I think 818 00:49:30,160 --> 00:49:32,719 Speaker 1: that's about they or something. Yeah, I think they later 819 00:49:32,960 --> 00:49:37,640 Speaker 1: open throat surgery. Yeah. I think it's really important to 820 00:49:38,920 --> 00:49:41,440 Speaker 1: you know, to avoid it. That's why we took vitamins. 821 00:49:41,480 --> 00:49:44,120 Speaker 1: That's why we walk and we keep mobile. It's all 822 00:49:44,160 --> 00:49:47,799 Speaker 1: about avoidance of injury. And so if you can take 823 00:49:47,840 --> 00:49:51,640 Speaker 1: two minutes, um. I would also say for your listeners 824 00:49:51,719 --> 00:49:56,840 Speaker 1: as a last thing um which even many professional voice 825 00:49:56,880 --> 00:50:01,760 Speaker 1: actors do not do, and that is read and mark 826 00:50:01,880 --> 00:50:06,359 Speaker 1: your script before you walk. I will not tell you 827 00:50:06,719 --> 00:50:10,319 Speaker 1: how many people that I've gone that really believe that 828 00:50:10,360 --> 00:50:12,279 Speaker 1: they can wing it. And all I can tell you 829 00:50:12,360 --> 00:50:15,960 Speaker 1: now to my fellow faboos is that the business is 830 00:50:16,000 --> 00:50:19,399 Speaker 1: wide open now. And I'm I'm a prep guy. I'm 831 00:50:19,440 --> 00:50:22,680 Speaker 1: always I'm always reading my lines, I'm marking it on. 832 00:50:23,320 --> 00:50:26,040 Speaker 1: You did that with Ron, You did that a lot? Yeah, Oh, 833 00:50:26,120 --> 00:50:30,720 Speaker 1: I never I never ever show. I can honestly shows 834 00:50:31,320 --> 00:50:34,080 Speaker 1: it really does it well. It makes you an actor, 835 00:50:34,480 --> 00:50:36,960 Speaker 1: It makes you a voice actor rather than relying on 836 00:50:37,360 --> 00:50:39,880 Speaker 1: silly voices. I have a couple of friends who whom 837 00:50:39,880 --> 00:50:42,600 Speaker 1: I adore, who are brilliant, who are like enough time, 838 00:50:42,640 --> 00:50:44,920 Speaker 1: I'm gonna wing it. And I'm like, you know, this 839 00:50:45,000 --> 00:50:47,520 Speaker 1: is a young guy. Look at how he's written it. 840 00:50:47,719 --> 00:50:51,839 Speaker 1: He hears this a certain way, man, you better deliver this. 841 00:50:52,080 --> 00:50:57,080 Speaker 1: He's got eight thousand exclamation points. He has capitalized fifty 842 00:50:57,120 --> 00:51:01,560 Speaker 1: words in this sentence. You here's this a certain way? 843 00:51:01,560 --> 00:51:04,680 Speaker 1: Had you read it? Because what ends up happening is 844 00:51:04,719 --> 00:51:08,560 Speaker 1: that somebody else when we did group records, you guys, um, 845 00:51:08,600 --> 00:51:11,160 Speaker 1: everybody else will have read it, and so we all 846 00:51:11,200 --> 00:51:14,000 Speaker 1: know what your line is supposed to sound like. Because 847 00:51:14,239 --> 00:51:18,200 Speaker 1: it's not just my life. I'm also reading Will's lines 848 00:51:18,200 --> 00:51:22,840 Speaker 1: and Christie's lines, and you're knowing where where my silence is, 849 00:51:22,880 --> 00:51:25,560 Speaker 1: Where do I come in? Where do I fit in 850 00:51:25,600 --> 00:51:29,320 Speaker 1: that joke joke bounced, joke joke bounce? Where do I fit? 851 00:51:29,680 --> 00:51:33,520 Speaker 1: So that would be my last tid a bit. That's 852 00:51:33,560 --> 00:51:36,359 Speaker 1: a protest that those are two important ones because it's 853 00:51:36,400 --> 00:51:38,759 Speaker 1: all about preparation. It's prepping your voice and then it's 854 00:51:38,760 --> 00:51:42,279 Speaker 1: prepping your your talent. I love that I know that 855 00:51:42,360 --> 00:51:46,000 Speaker 1: I love that you guys do that I didn't gonna 856 00:51:46,040 --> 00:51:48,640 Speaker 1: get better. If I ever get the opportunity to to 857 00:51:48,640 --> 00:51:51,680 Speaker 1: to to be on you know, a long running series again, 858 00:51:51,719 --> 00:51:54,920 Speaker 1: then I would definitely be doing much more. I was. 859 00:51:55,600 --> 00:51:59,160 Speaker 1: I was so young when gospel was that it was 860 00:51:59,200 --> 00:52:01,120 Speaker 1: just the farthest from my mind. I was like, well, 861 00:52:01,160 --> 00:52:06,160 Speaker 1: I'm the character's age, etcetera. I I was smoking, I 862 00:52:06,239 --> 00:52:08,799 Speaker 1: was ruining my voice, and at the end, it was 863 00:52:08,880 --> 00:52:11,640 Speaker 1: towards the end where my nodules really flared up, which 864 00:52:11,680 --> 00:52:13,959 Speaker 1: is why you know, well, my my voice did sound 865 00:52:13,960 --> 00:52:16,279 Speaker 1: a bit different. And now I'm healed, and I just 866 00:52:16,360 --> 00:52:18,480 Speaker 1: think that I would approach it so much more maturely. 867 00:52:19,239 --> 00:52:22,560 Speaker 1: And I will say, that's the Christie, what you just said, 868 00:52:23,080 --> 00:52:26,319 Speaker 1: it's hugely important because I will just tell you that, 869 00:52:26,920 --> 00:52:28,520 Speaker 1: you know, we do what we do once we got 870 00:52:28,560 --> 00:52:30,719 Speaker 1: the job. But I'll tell you, if you warm up 871 00:52:31,000 --> 00:52:33,520 Speaker 1: and you read the script and you find your niche, 872 00:52:33,640 --> 00:52:36,479 Speaker 1: that's also how you get the job. That's why I'm 873 00:52:36,520 --> 00:52:40,200 Speaker 1: auditioning every day. And in my little mind, I am 874 00:52:40,239 --> 00:52:46,240 Speaker 1: a goddess of but I audition, like when we leave, 875 00:52:46,719 --> 00:52:49,120 Speaker 1: I just took this off of my my music. That's 876 00:52:49,160 --> 00:52:51,839 Speaker 1: the audition I have for when we hang up and 877 00:52:51,880 --> 00:52:54,440 Speaker 1: I'm warm, and I was like, but I've read it, 878 00:52:54,480 --> 00:52:57,600 Speaker 1: and last night I sat and I marked it and 879 00:52:57,640 --> 00:52:59,919 Speaker 1: I was like, oh, that's a funny thing because you'll 880 00:53:00,000 --> 00:53:03,399 Speaker 1: see in the stage direction run run, run, fall, hit 881 00:53:03,960 --> 00:53:07,120 Speaker 1: catch the ball anyway, So you you want to put 882 00:53:07,200 --> 00:53:10,880 Speaker 1: that stuff that's in the that's in the script, in 883 00:53:11,000 --> 00:53:14,319 Speaker 1: the prep for that line. Casting people love that, and 884 00:53:14,360 --> 00:53:16,880 Speaker 1: I always say that that's if you act and you 885 00:53:16,960 --> 00:53:18,640 Speaker 1: prep like you were going to be on a on 886 00:53:18,719 --> 00:53:22,239 Speaker 1: an on camera series. That is how you stand out 887 00:53:22,239 --> 00:53:25,799 Speaker 1: from the crowd when you audition with even against those 888 00:53:25,840 --> 00:53:28,359 Speaker 1: of us who are vets. I think that's a great 889 00:53:28,360 --> 00:53:31,120 Speaker 1: place to leave it right there. Preparation everybody. Prep your 890 00:53:31,200 --> 00:53:35,240 Speaker 1: voice and prep your script.
