Speaker 1: gonna be a little different for the next say four
Speaker 1: or five episodes. Uh. You know that we normally do
Speaker 1: we bring in our special guests, which of course we're
Speaker 1: all going to do because we love learning about voice over.
Speaker 1: In the voiceover world, but then we used to bring in.
Speaker 1: It started with um amateur artists sending us their art
Speaker 1: and then we put some fun voices to the artwork,
Speaker 1: and then it went from there. It grew to Across
Speaker 1: the Garden, which we did every week, where Christy and
Speaker 1: I played the little mice getting across the garden and
Speaker 1: an amateur actor got to come in and join us
Speaker 1: to actually do his own or her own recording session,
Speaker 1: which was a ton of fun. We had a blast.
Speaker 1: But my heart has been able to make our ultimate
Speaker 1: dream come true, which we've now been able to talk
Speaker 1: about a little bit where we are gearing up as
Speaker 1: we speak. Four. I'm sorry, did I should I not

Speaker 1: the way that it happened. Um. So yeah, So bear
Speaker 1: with us as we're working out all the details of
Speaker 1: the contest because we're so excited about this. It's gonna
Speaker 1: be an amazing amount of fund we're gonna be doing it,

Speaker 1: on that, as we're working on that, getting you know,
Speaker 1: a month month and a half, by the way, I
Speaker 1: want to make sure I'm getting that right. But as
Speaker 1: we're getting all of that set up, to make sure
Speaker 1: that it is a completely seamless process so that you
Speaker 1: can go and win a career. Uh, we want to
Speaker 1: make sure that we are focused on that. And while
Speaker 1: we're doing that, we still want to be able to
Speaker 1: meet these awesome voice over actors and talk to these
Speaker 1: awesome voice over actors how they got into the business. Uh. Meanwhile,
Speaker 1: giving the amateur actors that we normally bring on a
Speaker 1: show a break to study up, because yeah, it's about
Speaker 1: to get real up in remember the last last episode, Um,
Speaker 1: I suggested to people, Uh, somebody had asked us, was
Speaker 1: that that the Comic con, because you know, we do
Speaker 1: these really awesome live shows. Now that was at the
Speaker 1: Con fan Expo, and at the cons somebody asked us,
Speaker 1: you know, how do you prepare or something like this,
Speaker 1: And I suggested to deep dive into all of our
Speaker 1: interviews thus far because there are some really good tidbits
Speaker 1: of information. I think the the Andrea Romano episode in particular,
Speaker 1: is probably worn to start with. I would say our
Speaker 1: first episode to the Bows episode where he actually walked
Speaker 1: us through how he created a carrot, like, how he
Speaker 1: got to the voice, like he was like manipulating his instrument.
Speaker 1: You could see how he was working the throat and
Speaker 1: it was so Yeah. And then another great thing we
Speaker 1: talked about at the fan x boat was um improv classes,
Speaker 1: because improv classes are phenomenal to just get the acting
Speaker 1: chops up, get your speed, working on your timing, you
Speaker 1: can workshop characters. It's another great kind of and you
Speaker 1: can find those. Usually in any city around the world
Speaker 1: there's have improv classes, which is really cool. I'm really
Speaker 1: excited about our guest today. I am too. I and
Speaker 1: not only excited about our guests, but I'm excited about
Speaker 1: the show that they're here to plug because there's some
Speaker 1: cool stuff happening. We recently had the show's creator on,
Speaker 1: Dan Povenmeyer. Yeah, and Dan Dan. Actually it hadn't premiered yet,
Speaker 1: so um Brock Powell is our amazing guest today and
Speaker 1: they just recently announced, Hey, hey, how are you here?
Speaker 1: Are you? I'm good, I'm so good. I'm so excited
Speaker 1: to be here. This is like crazy, while thank you
Speaker 1: so much for joining us. This is really cool. Yeah,
Speaker 1: thank you. No, I'm I'm really I mean I feel
Speaker 1: like talking about you know, being on a Disney show
Speaker 1: with Disney Royalty is like, that's something you get to
Speaker 1: do every day, right, are we Disney Royalty? That's so awesome. Yeah,
Speaker 1: just Disney lead you and then there's Disney Royalty. Would you?
Speaker 1: I think you get serious? Is that true? Brock? Welcome
Speaker 1: to Christie Land. Um, we've been, we've been so One
Speaker 1: thing that we love about Christie. Christie is like my sister,
Speaker 1: and she is the most scullable human being on the planet.
Speaker 1: It's so just trust that's probably makes you a really
Speaker 1: good performer and also an interviewer. My fiance is the
Speaker 1: same way, Like I have to actually like I'm joking
Speaker 1: right after. Yeah, it was fun because the first time
Speaker 1: we talked about it, I said, well, you know that
Speaker 1: the reason you're so scullable is because it's a genetic trait.
Speaker 1: And she's like, really, oh my gosh, he's such a jerk.
Speaker 1: And you know, I should that's a genetic trait to
Speaker 1: Christie being a jerk. I actually kind of do believe
Speaker 1: that though see I can treat I can trace that one. Yay.
Speaker 1: So Brock, we were just talking about how you um
Speaker 1: your creator Hamps oh my gosh, Hamster and Gretel's creator,
Speaker 1: Dan Povenmyer was just on our show. Yeah and you yes,
Speaker 1: he was. We got him to come on and it
Speaker 1: was really fun to talk to him. I thought he
Speaker 1: was going on a different show and it was halfway
Speaker 1: through we didn't. He was like oh, and we were like, no,
Speaker 1: you're fine. I reconnected with Dan on TikTok and he's
Speaker 1: you know, he kills in TikTok world, and its way
Speaker 1: to get a hold of him, like if I have
Speaker 1: questions about script and I just I got a question
Speaker 1: about this, so and I just TikTok talk again. Show
Speaker 1: us the napkin that Phineas was on. That was like
Speaker 1: the creation was like it all started on a napkin,
Speaker 1: where as most as most things do. By the way,
Speaker 1: like my favorite fantasy series of all time, the entire
Speaker 1: map was drawn on a napkin in the middle of
Speaker 1: a restaurant. So like my favorite series of all time,
Speaker 1: it's called the Belgaria and the Glorian Series by Dan
Speaker 1: By By David Eddings. It's the one that got me
Speaker 1: into fantasy as a kid. So that's like my that's
Speaker 1: like my my jam So that running this down you
Speaker 1: should Oh, I'll give you a what brock, I'll give
Speaker 1: you a whole list. You have no idea. I'm a
Speaker 1: fantasy nerd. But can we also talk very quickly about
Speaker 1: how Hamster and Gretel might be one of the greatest
Speaker 1: named animated shows ever. It's pretty it's pretty great. I mean,
Speaker 1: Dan definitely has an ability, along with this creative partner
Speaker 1: on Phineas Swampy, to come up with really great names.
Speaker 1: So we have Phineas and Ferb. Then we had Milo
Speaker 1: Murphy's Law, which was the show in between Phineas and
Speaker 1: the one we're on now. Yeah. I don't know how
Speaker 1: they if they sit in a room or they have
Speaker 1: a robot they designed, or like a dufitator to come
Speaker 1: up with the names. But Hamster and Gretel's definitely And
Speaker 1: it's funny too because a lot of people would go like, sorry,
Speaker 1: Hamster and Gretel, and it's it causes people to pause
Speaker 1: because I think it is such a great name, Like
Speaker 1: it's just based on the name, You're like I have
Speaker 1: to watch it is. It's a phenomenal It's a phenomenal name.
Speaker 1: I also, we haven't really brought this up yet. I'm
Speaker 1: going to throw this at the first time, but I
Speaker 1: think we should start a contest where our guest gets
Speaker 1: to pick what's actually behind Christie on the green screen.
Speaker 1: That great idea. I think there's an image that will
Speaker 1: go back behind the green screen there, Yeah, you can.
Speaker 1: I think you can. She's got she's in front of
Speaker 1: a green screen because she normally likes to just do
Speaker 1: it in front of a giant picture, just my old
Speaker 1: head shot. So what do you think, Brock, what do
Speaker 1: you think should be behind Christie at the end of
Speaker 1: the day. I feel like a napkid. I feel like
Speaker 1: it should just be a yes, right, maybe a hand
Speaker 1: drawn Kim Possible. I'm like the nakid. Yeah, I love it. Actually,
Speaker 1: we also saw Steven Silver when we were at Comic Con,
Speaker 1: but we he created Kim Possible. But you we missed
Speaker 1: you and we missed you right. Yeah, we were there.
Speaker 1: The entire cast are a large portion of the cast
Speaker 1: was there. It an amazing panel. It was really really
Speaker 1: cool because this is the first time, you know, we've
Speaker 1: been going through, uh sort of, you know, the animation
Speaker 1: pandemic that the animation and so we all met there
Speaker 1: really for the most part, like at comic Con, which
Speaker 1: is a really it basically it was like camp comic
Speaker 1: Con and we were all hanging out, um, and it's
Speaker 1: really cool to fall in love with your entire cast
Speaker 1: and realizing, oh, you're all amazing people. Like everybody. We're
Speaker 1: literally like we're planning a Disney trip right now. There's
Speaker 1: there's a whole bunch of it's cooling. Doesn't happen with everything, right,
Speaker 1: that doesn't happen with every every show. Now, I have
Speaker 1: a question for you because a lot of what one
Speaker 1: of the things we love about I hear voices is
Speaker 1: we we try to like pull the curtain on all
Speaker 1: of the animation world, and a lot of people don't
Speaker 1: really understand how long the process really takes. So we're
Speaker 1: now hearing about Hamster and Gretel. When's the first time
Speaker 1: you heard the names Hamster and Gretel. That's a really
Speaker 1: great question. I actually might have to look at this.
Speaker 1: I want to say, maybe like the first time I
Speaker 1: heard something regarding Hamster and got it might have been
Speaker 1: late nineteen because I know was when the show got greenlit,
Speaker 1: so that that probably would track um because we wrapped
Speaker 1: Candice against the Universe, which was the Phineas and for
Speaker 1: Um sort of decom Disney Plus movie that we did,
Speaker 1: which was really really cool because being a part of
Speaker 1: a Disney Channel original movies, like you know, a Kid
Speaker 1: of the Nineties dream. I didn't get to do the
Speaker 1: one thing. I didn't get to do the wand but
Speaker 1: I've never done the wand either don't get me started.
Speaker 1: Can we do the wand? Do you want to do
Speaker 1: the wand? Everybody the one? You guys, you've done the
Speaker 1: one having your Tristan, You've done the wand right in
Speaker 1: the middle before brock is after I got in there.
Speaker 1: I got in there, guys. But I don't have any
Speaker 1: outtakes online. Oh you don't. My coast got one. Alexie Schooner,
Speaker 1: who played my supervillain Stibling, obviously got to do that
Speaker 1: a lot. And she just posted a video of her
Speaker 1: recreating it at Disneyland, which people want to check that out.
Speaker 1: I think that's on our Instagram. Love her. Can I
Speaker 1: just tell you, guys, I just want to do a
Speaker 1: little moment for Alison stoner appreciation. Absolutely. She went on
Speaker 1: this other podcast, I Have um Vulnerable, and she was
Speaker 1: exactly that for me. And I just love her so
Speaker 1: much that she popped up with you in those pictures
Speaker 1: at Comic Con and I was just so ecstatic for her.
Speaker 1: I didn't know about you know, I didn't know about it.
Speaker 1: Dan had recently been on her show but hadn't mentioned
Speaker 1: her casting. So it's just so great to see you
Speaker 1: guys together. And that's great that you guys got to
Speaker 1: meet and connect in that way because she's a really
Speaker 1: good person. Uh, Supreme. And what's crazy is so a
Speaker 1: little behind the scenes to your to your point, well, um,
Speaker 1: which so again child the nineties, do most people accidentally
Speaker 1: call you Eric? Because I'm really having a hard time
Speaker 1: not to get yeah. I'll answer to most things, but yes,
Speaker 1: I will occasionally get an Eric and I'll just go yeah,
Speaker 1: see no, but he pronounces for del right anyway, So
Speaker 1: there you go. When somebody throws a sound my way,
Speaker 1: I just go yeah. To me. It's like, it's just
Speaker 1: I'm in the single syllable range to some most things.
Speaker 1: I'm just like, is that my name was saying? There
Speaker 1: you go, Mr Squirrels tell squirrels and speaking of like
Speaker 1: syllables and sounds. I know in your bio it's said
Speaker 1: that you sometimes specialize in creature sounds. Yeah. Yeah, so
Speaker 1: I do a lot of monster creature sounds. On my
Speaker 1: Little Murphy's Law, I was a ton of aliens. I
Speaker 1: did a bunch of aliens in Candace against the Universe, um,
Speaker 1: and then weirdly on Hamster. I'm mostly getting to do
Speaker 1: human villains. I've got a couple other like specialty characters
Speaker 1: that are gonna be coming up in episodes because five
Speaker 1: episodes are out right now and Disney Plus and like,
Speaker 1: my main character is Lyle Fist Puncher, but um, the
Speaker 1: team has been amazingly kind of generous, and I think
Speaker 1: right now I'm at maybe ten different villains on the
Speaker 1: series throughout everything. So it's really I don't how cartoons,
Speaker 1: oh how. I think it's just the picture and the
Speaker 1: physicality and and you know you're talking about Alison Stoner.
Speaker 1: So the character that I do, Fist Puncher, is a
Speaker 1: twin that's younger by three minutes to Alison's character, and
Speaker 1: I believe Alison tracked her portion first, and so that
Speaker 1: made it easier for me because I was like, well,
Speaker 1: if they're twins, they probably would have some sort of
Speaker 1: similar vocal kind of tone and music. Um, so we
Speaker 1: sort of are doing this like Valley siblings things. So
Speaker 1: sort of like Lyle kind of very much like he's
Speaker 1: got it down here voice, but he also goes up
Speaker 1: here when he's talking to his big sister, like because
Speaker 1: he's genuinely kind of concerned. Um, and it kind of
Speaker 1: has that too many vowels Polly Shore diff Tannon sort
Speaker 1: of thing. Um, but Aliston came first. Her her voice
Speaker 1: came first. I heard it in play back and then
Speaker 1: that was kind of how we created it. I then
Speaker 1: for other matched you pretty matched the tone, didn't did
Speaker 1: her voice come first by three minutes? Because if it
Speaker 1: would be pretty yeah, that would be the pretty the
Speaker 1: coolest thing in the world. Did the very efficient with
Speaker 1: the recording timing. So I'd also like to point out
Speaker 1: that Christie actually managed to pull off the line speaking
Speaker 1: of sounds. Uh, It's like I'm a segue master, you
Speaker 1: are you segue? That was genius like as sounds and
Speaker 1: syllables as no as no one as ever said Mr
Speaker 1: might be a Hamster and Rettle Villain. I think we
Speaker 1: should pitch that up. I love that. Okay, still question.
Speaker 1: Then you're you've got a character in front of you.
Speaker 1: You know, it's not gonna have a lot of dialogue.
Speaker 1: It's just going to be an alien sound. Where where
Speaker 1: do you go? I mean like, are you in your throat?
Speaker 1: Are you in your nose? The sounds? Yeah? Yeah? Where
Speaker 1: do you go to find just a sound like that? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I'll show you. There are a couple of different ones.
Speaker 1: Um if it's on Disney Plus. So if people go
Speaker 1: and watch My the Murphy's Law, which the entire series
Speaker 1: is there, you can hear me voicing aliens from the
Speaker 1: pilot episode all the way to the end, and there's
Speaker 1: like twenty different aliens. Some of them speak language, some
Speaker 1: of them don't. Um So, so usually an alien, it
Speaker 1: depends if they're cute or evil. So if it's kind
Speaker 1: of like the friendly et kind of thing without language,
Speaker 1: it'll probably sound like this. Wow, I's a lot of
Speaker 1: that kind of stitch placement, So then you're doing the
Speaker 1: articulators there. Then if it's like a scary like District
Speaker 1: nine kind of buggy alien being more like like that
Speaker 1: kind of thing. So it depends on the size. I
Speaker 1: always start with how big is the character? And um,
Speaker 1: you know, and and then I actually have a technique
Speaker 1: I call the monster mash, which is how I teach
Speaker 1: myself to do creature voices. So please give us the
Speaker 1: monster mash if you don't mind sharing the monster mashed.
Speaker 1: This is brock Palells monster mash. Um the mouth, what
Speaker 1: does the mouth look like? Does the monster alien have
Speaker 1: a mouth? If it's like a gelatinous kind of like
Speaker 1: you have to figure that out right, because aliens may
Speaker 1: not look like us. Then the monster alien is the attitude?
Speaker 1: Is it angry? Is it hungry? And it's always important
Speaker 1: to connect the creature with the human or the those
Speaker 1: primal emotions that we all experience wanting shelter, companionship, um.
Speaker 1: And then the size how actual like how big is
Speaker 1: the actual character? And is it like small dog syndrome
Speaker 1: where it's like a tiny gremlin but it makes it
Speaker 1: meaner um? And then how sacary is at the age.
Speaker 1: So if you're doing something for like I work on
Speaker 1: a lot of the Disney Junior stuff, doing monsters and
Speaker 1: creatures for Mickey Mouse Funhouse, and obviously a dinosaur on
Speaker 1: that show would be very different than something that we
Speaker 1: would do on like hand, you're not going to want
Speaker 1: to scare a little so okay, so you've got the
Speaker 1: monster mash up, which I think is is amazing. First
Speaker 1: of all from an acting standpoint, cool man, I think
Speaker 1: it's kind of amazing that you're putting that. And again,
Speaker 1: this to all the people out there that want to
Speaker 1: do this for a living. Brock is looking at a
Speaker 1: character that has no dialogue, that might be in the background,
Speaker 1: that isn't featured, and is putting a backstory to it, like, well,
Speaker 1: is it hungry, doesn't need companionship. This is that This
Speaker 1: is what differentiates somebody who is really good at this,
Speaker 1: has the talent and it is going to have a
Speaker 1: long career and somebody who's like, oh you you kind
Speaker 1: of do voices. So if you're wondering what the difference is,
Speaker 1: that's one of the differences is putting that amount of
Speaker 1: effort into what is considered Oh, it's just a small
Speaker 1: part for an actor, there's no such thing. So I
Speaker 1: mean that's but it's true. It's like you've gotta you know,
Speaker 1: it's Brock is putting all I look at the picture
Speaker 1: and you put the like, does they want companionship. That's
Speaker 1: the that's what differentiates the talent from the not talented
Speaker 1: hashtag not talent. But there I think there also is
Speaker 1: to like, if I'm not paying at ten, you know
Speaker 1: how I'm sounding, I'm doing something right. So the more
Speaker 1: you do with your body and the more you're in
Speaker 1: the moment, the less you're aware of how especially for
Speaker 1: creature voice, it is absolutely vile. You look like, I
Speaker 1: will leave blobber covered, and it's to make the sounds
Speaker 1: you have to you have to sort of like change
Speaker 1: your change of faceship. And I was lucky because I
Speaker 1: grew up as a benefactor of like Frank Welker's work,
Speaker 1: right and Bradley Baker. Yeah, and it is. It's one
Speaker 1: of those things where you you One of the first
Speaker 1: times I was ever in a booth with Frank Um
Speaker 1: I think it was. It might have been he was
Speaker 1: doing the sounds for it was he was dubbing over
Speaker 1: Ace the bath Hound in Batman Beyond. I think, my child.
Speaker 1: So we're sitting there and I've got my Terry mckinn
Speaker 1: his voice, and I'm just oh, you know, and they're like,
Speaker 1: all right, do Ace, and he starts barking like you know,
Speaker 1: we need a different dog too, can you make it smaller?
Speaker 1: And so he does a smaller dog and then like no,
Speaker 1: it's one pause injured, and he does start to making
Speaker 1: it and you're going, that's a small dog with an
Speaker 1: your Paul like, how is this? How are you even
Speaker 1: contemplating doing these things? He's on another level. Frank is
Speaker 1: just i think, an expert of speaking of dog sounds.
Speaker 1: He was Ku Joe. Yeah, he was Marahote the eagle
Speaker 1: in Rescuers down Under, which is like, yeah, favorites, like
Speaker 1: the dude is from another planet's it's insane. He's an animal.
Speaker 1: It's insane. And yeah we're doing when we're doing Transformers
Speaker 1: and I'm sitting in between him and uh, you know,
Speaker 1: um just the whole original like most of the original
Speaker 1: Gen one cast your It's like, I can't believe this
Speaker 1: is all happening right now. You've got Peter Colin on
Speaker 1: one side, and I'm just like, I'm just gonna keep
Speaker 1: my mouth shut. I'm just there were grown men that
Speaker 1: were we were in our forties trying not to cry.
Speaker 1: So the first time Peter Colin looks at you and
Speaker 1: goes bumblebee, and I was like, you're like, he's talking
Speaker 1: to me. He's like, I have to answer him. He's
Speaker 1: talking is insane. So it's that same thing with the
Speaker 1: because that's a whole Another side of this industry that
Speaker 1: a lot of people don't necessarily talk about is creature sounds.
Speaker 1: I can't do those. I consider myself a pretty good
Speaker 1: voice over actor. I can't do that at all. It's
Speaker 1: a whole different skill set that either you can do
Speaker 1: or you can't. Growing up, did you have one thing
Speaker 1: that you love? I mean, did you start doing funny
Speaker 1: creature sounds or did you do more of kind of
Speaker 1: the animated voices. Yeah. I did a lot of the
Speaker 1: cartoon voices and stuff. That was sort of how I
Speaker 1: made friends. And Um, I was definitely a latchkey kid
Speaker 1: and both my parents worked, and so I watched and
Speaker 1: basically was raised on the Disney Afternoon. So when I
Speaker 1: got out of college and was like trying to figure
Speaker 1: out what I wanted to do with this theater degree,
Speaker 1: which is such an obvious like or just but I
Speaker 1: don't know what it does. I wrote whatever um to
Speaker 1: Bill Farmer, who voices Goofy for Disney, and he was
Speaker 1: my first mentor and showed me the ropes of how
Speaker 1: classic acting and the impressions needed to be merged so
Speaker 1: that like I'm approaching like you mentioned, I'm approaching every
Speaker 1: scene with like it might be a talking ham sandwich
Speaker 1: or snaggle Puss, but they still have what does the
Speaker 1: character want? What's the best case scenario? What's the worst
Speaker 1: case scenario? And I think often and where I was
Speaker 1: fifteen years ago, you're doing impressions that are only the
Speaker 1: things the character has said before. But even just a
Speaker 1: little scene that we were playing earlier that might have
Speaker 1: been excise at this point, being able to pivot in
Speaker 1: the character and put them in circumstances they've never been in.
Speaker 1: I think that's really the test of it is if
Speaker 1: you can Bob Bergen, who voices Porky Pick, says, if
Speaker 1: you can do a Looney Tunes character doing Shakespeare, you
Speaker 1: know that you've got sort of a fleshed out, more
Speaker 1: than two dimensional character because you're putting them into circumstances.
Speaker 1: And that was something that I learned really early on.
Speaker 1: But I still play with voices. I do a ton
Speaker 1: of sound a like Um, I do a lot of
Speaker 1: like impressions now professionally I'll come in and sort of
Speaker 1: be like the vocal stunt double for celebrities, which is
Speaker 1: really really fun. Who's okay, so you know where we're going? Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know the next questions we've got If you're bringing
Speaker 1: up who? So, I mean, who who do you do?
Speaker 1: If it's like, well we can't get X, Y and
Speaker 1: Z go get brock, who who are you doing? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I mean I'm wearing this ironically right now. I have
Speaker 1: done Robert Downey Jr. For stuff, some some things that
Speaker 1: first of all, I can't I can't really go into that,
Speaker 1: but I gotta say there were some things that I did.
Speaker 1: Uh you know here, here's the deal. First of all,
Speaker 1: we have a wholk I know, ms frantas sure Greek um,
Speaker 1: So I've done done a lot of that. I also
Speaker 1: have done sound alike for like some classic characters for
Speaker 1: Disney and Sony UM, which I can't I can't talk
Speaker 1: about those just yet because some of those projects haven't
Speaker 1: been released. And that's fun, I know. And then I
Speaker 1: also did I got to do a huge Ghostbuster fan
Speaker 1: and I got to work with the Ghost Corps team,
Speaker 1: and I did sound alike for um Bill Murray and
Speaker 1: Danak right for a ghost project. For it's like I'm
Speaker 1: kind of like an activation, which was really crazy. It
Speaker 1: was really funny. I gotta hear your Bill Murray Brock Sorry,
Speaker 1: oh god. So you know it's funny because Bill Murray
Speaker 1: and Robert Downey Jr. Are actually not too far apart.
Speaker 1: But you know, like a specific can I curse on
Speaker 1: the show because the quote quote you can, but we will,
Speaker 1: we'll we'll bleep your curse. Okay. It's also in Ghostbusters,
Speaker 1: so if you're fine, but we came, we saw, we
Speaker 1: kicked the tests, so that kind of you know, that's nice. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And it's a lot of that, you know, kind of
Speaker 1: what he does in Caddyshack, like well, you know I'm
Speaker 1: gonna get total enlightenment, so you know said there'll be
Speaker 1: he said there'll be no money. Yeah, you should received
Speaker 1: totally enlightenment. Yes, that's my other podcast. I just sit
Speaker 1: around quote movies. That's like my brothers and I. That's
Speaker 1: all we don't. Uh no, it's fine, We're we're a
Speaker 1: movie quote people. Actually have a bathroom in my house
Speaker 1: where there's just pens and so when you you walk
Speaker 1: in and you just write your movie quotes up on
Speaker 1: the wall. So the walls are just covered with movie
Speaker 1: quotes everywhere. If I ever use if I ever use
Speaker 1: your bathroom, I'm going to write gullible on the ceiling.
Speaker 1: Well I think really it will. We'll be able to notice.
Speaker 1: It will be the only one in the ceiling, which
Speaker 1: will be great. Nice. Thank you. Christie's already talking about
Speaker 1: ruining my bathroom. I love it. I love it. I'm
Speaker 1: going to face your otherwise very autographs. So okay, the
Speaker 1: question we like to ask certain questions. First of all,
Speaker 1: do you remember the first voice you ever did? Mhm,
Speaker 1: I want to stay? Might have been it was either
Speaker 1: gonem oh. That was that was popular when I was
Speaker 1: in middle school. And then Christian Bale's Batman was really big,
Speaker 1: and those were, like I often say, like the lunch
Speaker 1: table in high school was where I socialized a lot
Speaker 1: of my Okay, that's where you work shopped everything because
Speaker 1: you're making everybody laugh and so you're different, you know,
Speaker 1: impressions and stuff, and were you just doing Christian Bale
Speaker 1: at that? You know, like it's what long hot dog
Speaker 1: day like that, like that kind of stuff. You feel
Speaker 1: like it's not a judge, it matters. It's what the head.
Speaker 1: It's just such a great he can't get that vocal
Speaker 1: performance is the most insane choice, and I love well
Speaker 1: it's the same. It's how I look at like, uh,
Speaker 1: you know the Lex Luthor in Superman move in the
Speaker 1: New Superman movies, or if it's like if you're going
Speaker 1: to hit the wall anyway, run into it, full speech,
Speaker 1: swing for the fences. It's either gonna work or it's not.
Speaker 1: But nobody can't say you didn't swing for the And
Speaker 1: that was Christian Bale. It was that, Yeah, that kind
Speaker 1: of but now I just oh, now, I just want
Speaker 1: to see you doing that voice ordering lunch in like
Speaker 1: middle school. I think that would be the greatest thing.
Speaker 1: I know. The next question you're going to ask him?
Speaker 1: What can I ask you? Then you ask it? Okay,
Speaker 1: So we're getting to that place now where we really
Speaker 1: truly are like family, where I can complain. I'm just
Speaker 1: gonna even if it wasn't, the question gonna be like
Speaker 1: you got it? You better Okay. So is there any
Speaker 1: character or voice that you would want to do? You
Speaker 1: got it? Actually you did? Actually you did? That wasn't
Speaker 1: of course that's last because yeah, you get to pick
Speaker 1: who do you want to be. I mean, that's such
Speaker 1: a it's such a tough question because I mean, you
Speaker 1: both know we're such a tight knit community that you
Speaker 1: never want to say like in bad faith or your job,
Speaker 1: like I'm gonna come for your job, ron stoppable. Okay,
Speaker 1: and thanks Brock, thanks for coming on the show. This
Speaker 1: character like Jerry Beginnis anyhow, he's had a big deal. Um,
Speaker 1: I would say my go to answer. And the one
Speaker 1: that really started me on the journey was the first
Speaker 1: character I became aware of, like from youth and who
Speaker 1: the actor was. I have a lot of respect for
Speaker 1: the work of Jim Cummings and say that if there
Speaker 1: was ever an opportunity to to protege or learn from
Speaker 1: or continue a care Poober would probably being the one. Okay.
Speaker 1: And there's just just like and when I do them,
Speaker 1: and I've learned, and I've learned by watching, and I
Speaker 1: think that's one of the things I would encourage people.
Speaker 1: And and also to say, you know, I'm about to
Speaker 1: do the impression, just remember that when you do these
Speaker 1: things to me, it's about a community of respect and admiration.
Speaker 1: And you're never You're never I'm never learning these things
Speaker 1: or putting these tricks in the quiver to take an
Speaker 1: opportunity away from someone or undercut somebody. Um, this is
Speaker 1: all about you know, someday these characters, hopefully you're going
Speaker 1: to outlive all of us. I hope that someday in
Speaker 1: in eighty years. Fist Puncher three is being voiced by
Speaker 1: someone who's like, oh, the original actor was named Brock
Speaker 1: and you know, Um, with all that said, there's something
Speaker 1: very fun about having Rumbly and my Tumbly and being
Speaker 1: able to kind of hear the original Sterling Holloway who
Speaker 1: was the original actor, and then how Jim has sort
Speaker 1: of made it his own role and kind of going
Speaker 1: through like okay, kind of like again, I'm really nerdy
Speaker 1: about the stuff. So like the original guy just sounded
Speaker 1: that way. So you had a guy who kind of
Speaker 1: he was also the Chester Cat on the Disney interviews.
Speaker 1: He was the Stork and dumbbo Sterling had just come
Speaker 1: in and do all this stuff. Lambert the Lion if
Speaker 1: you like those, I love Lambert. He narrates, that's Winnie
Speaker 1: the poo narrating that Lamber the line and he does
Speaker 1: that really soft kind of thing. And so when when
Speaker 1: Jim took over the role. He kind of found a
Speaker 1: very particular placement for it because he was doing Tigger
Speaker 1: and Poo, which means you have to have that. He
Speaker 1: went right to the to the who right yeah, yeah, right, yeah,
Speaker 1: and it was crazy, okay, interesting, So Poo, I have,
Speaker 1: I have. I have a difficult relationship with Winnie the Pool.
Speaker 1: Really is that true? Yeah it is. Yeah, I have
Speaker 1: difficult speak about It's okay, we're gonna talk about you know.
Speaker 1: I when I was nineteen, I wrote the live action
Speaker 1: animation winning the Pooh movie for Disney, the one that
Speaker 1: just came out with with you and McGregor a couple
Speaker 1: of years ago. And that's sad. We'll see. That's the thing.
Speaker 1: It's sat on the shelf for years and years and years,
Speaker 1: and then it went through a whole bunch of other
Speaker 1: hands and so when they finally put it out, it
Speaker 1: was totally different, and I got no credit. So I
Speaker 1: have I have a little bit of an issue with
Speaker 1: cutting this out too. Oh I don't care. Oh, I
Speaker 1: don't care at all. So I've talked about it before.
Speaker 1: I've talked about it before. It was you know, so
Speaker 1: I wrote it twenty five years ago something that was
Speaker 1: my first screenplay that I sold my Actually, I lived
Speaker 1: Winnie the Pooh. I lived Winnie the Pooh for for
Speaker 1: a year when I was writing it. Oh my god, yeah,
Speaker 1: crazy yeah. So that was that's my and again and
Speaker 1: Jim Cummings. I love Jim. I love Jim. Jim is
Speaker 1: one of the nicest people in the world. And by
Speaker 1: the way, you mentioned something that is super important, which
Speaker 1: is also something we're hoping to be able to have
Speaker 1: happened on her voices, is mentorship. Kevin Conroy was my
Speaker 1: mentor in the Voiceover World. Um, you talked about Bill
Speaker 1: Farmer was your who couldn't be a nicer man? By
Speaker 1: the way, you know Jason Mars and my best friend
Speaker 1: was in a good movie, so I've known Bill for
Speaker 1: years too. Couldn't be a nicer man. But you can't
Speaker 1: overstate the benefits of having a mentor who is wants
Speaker 1: to help guide you. And that's one of the things
Speaker 1: when we get to a certain level of the contest,
Speaker 1: which we've talked about on the show. I don't know
Speaker 1: if you're aware of the contest that we're gonna be doing, Brock,
Speaker 1: this is really a thing. So tell you what it's
Speaker 1: called go ahead, go ahead, Christy, can you you just
Speaker 1: put yourself you've forgotten what it's called already, don't you
Speaker 1: already forgot? So we're gonna find American Idol style the
Speaker 1: next big voice over actor, and we're gonna have to
Speaker 1: have you back because we're gonna have judges and mentors
Speaker 1: and creature based person but obviously you do everything well,
Speaker 1: maybe one of the levels one of the things we're
Speaker 1: gonna have to figure out because we're going to find
Speaker 1: the best well rounded actor out there. And maybe we're
Speaker 1: gonna have to Brock come in because one of the
Speaker 1: things we want to do when we get to the
Speaker 1: final four or so is we're going to give them mentors,
Speaker 1: So everybody's going to get a v O v O mentor.

Speaker 1: I located as the picture of my inner critic. Okay,

Speaker 1: but when it smiles, it has a razor sharp teeth.
Speaker 1: Love it. Wow, little little insight into Christie. Go there.

Speaker 1: uh with Christie's inner critic a pink, fuzzy, cute eyed
Speaker 1: but big sharp teeth when it's upset. So here we go. Actually,
Speaker 1: we'll need a little water to this, and that's lesson one.
Speaker 1: And Christie is doing the doing the putting the razor
Speaker 1: sharp teeth in herself. Ladies and gentlemen. Oh, I can't
Speaker 1: wait to what people are going to do with the
Speaker 1: green screen behind you. Christie, you might have opened up
Speaker 1: a whole can of worms with the green screen. Uh,
Speaker 1: here we go a contest that's big. Yes, I like
Speaker 1: I do too. Your inner critic is great, the razor
Speaker 1: sharp teeth, that's awesome. Rock you get in touch with
Speaker 1: my agent if we want to bring the character back,
Speaker 1: let's do it, and said, no, I'm sorry. We should
Speaker 1: have also told you everything you say on the show
Speaker 1: is owned by us personally, so we've actually already sold
Speaker 1: the rights to that fuzzy critic. Well, and I was
Speaker 1: gonna say, like all things that happened in this in
Speaker 1: this uh, in this industry, we are now looking for
Speaker 1: a brock Powell type to voice it. That's just the
Speaker 1: way it always works out. We all know that I
Speaker 1: got replaced on a movie. I would say what movie?
Speaker 1: But I got replaced on a movie for a large
Speaker 1: streaming service that I worked on for two years, and
Speaker 1: they got David Crossing to replace me. And I wasn't
Speaker 1: even mad like at that. Yeah, and when you're like, okay,
Speaker 1: that's pretty good. And the coolest part was he kept
Speaker 1: my improv choices because there were things that were written
Speaker 1: and it wasn't all quite animated yet, so to hear
Speaker 1: to hear somebody I really think of as a comedy icon.
Speaker 1: Keeping my jokes. I'm like, Okay, that's good. That's a win.
Speaker 1: That's a win. Don't you kind of didn't you kind
Speaker 1: of wish it was still just you though? Yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean it was. You know, I've been replaced. And I
Speaker 1: think that's one of the things that I wish people knew,
Speaker 1: is a really becoming a common thing only because it
Speaker 1: happens a lot. It happens a lot, and I think
Speaker 1: being able to handle it with a certain level of
Speaker 1: grace and understanding and is this is Bill's advice that
Speaker 1: I will not take credit forward, but he says, uh,
Speaker 1: you got to remember you're a plumber and you're there
Speaker 1: to fix a problem, and you know, you've got a
Speaker 1: tool kissed it, got the thing that you do. And
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, if something happens where
Speaker 1: they decide, hey, you know, actually we tried that. And
Speaker 1: there's a hundred of different things. And with vocal instruments,
Speaker 1: you have no idea who they're casting you against. You
Speaker 1: might sound exactly like to other people in the cast
Speaker 1: or um. At the end of the day, we're there
Speaker 1: to serve the to serve the story. And if someone
Speaker 1: decides that your vocal performance isn't the best thing for
Speaker 1: the story, then that that is an easier way. It
Speaker 1: doesn't make it easier to lose it and hear someone
Speaker 1: else do it, but I think it does make it
Speaker 1: easier to go, well, I did, I did my job.
Speaker 1: My job was to serve the story, and ultimately I've sacrificed.
Speaker 1: There's also there's also a thing nowadays which is happening
Speaker 1: more and more, and this is one of the things
Speaker 1: I want I hear voices eventually to do. I have
Speaker 1: a goal to where all actors, even huge like The
Speaker 1: Rock and all these people, when they do exactly when
Speaker 1: they do a voice over film, when they do an
Speaker 1: animated film, and everybody should. Everybody should try it. It's
Speaker 1: so much fun. But you are huge actors, and you
Speaker 1: should insist that at least of the cast is just
Speaker 1: voice over actors. That's my goal. But one of those
Speaker 1: but that's one of those things is sometimes especially nowadays,
Speaker 1: they just want a bigger name, so your performance is fine,
Speaker 1: but then all of a sudden it's like, yeah, but
Speaker 1: now we got David cross Um and that's nothing against you,
Speaker 1: And you're right, David Cross is a comedy. I mean,
Speaker 1: mr show is one of my favorite things ever. Uh
Speaker 1: but it's um, you know it does it still stings,
Speaker 1: But you're right, it's it's more and more common, and
Speaker 1: it's happening a lot people being been replaced will uh
Speaker 1: by an alien, not not on a you know this
Speaker 1: is no longer. No, I think we've all been replaced.
Speaker 1: I was. I don't even remember this show. Of course,
Speaker 1: of course I know. I know what show I was
Speaker 1: replaced on and were replaced on Family Guy, What who
Speaker 1: were you? Unfamily? I was Quagmire's One night Stand and
Speaker 1: I was replaced, and I at the time was in
Speaker 1: contact with Seth McFarland, and he didn't really tell me
Speaker 1: the place. And then finally I found out that I
Speaker 1: was replaced, and I was like, that's oh, that's not me.
Speaker 1: I was replaced, Okay, that's okay. And then I only
Speaker 1: had one line because he had me do two different
Speaker 1: voices and there was another character that had like one
Speaker 1: line ended up one. Okay, so they gave you one thing.
Speaker 1: That's good. Yeah, no again, I think I got the credit.
Speaker 1: I got the credit. I've been replaced on stuff. It
Speaker 1: happens a lot um. And there's also times where it's
Speaker 1: like that's why we talked about like Jason Marsden and
Speaker 1: UH and Josh Keaton and I will never do a
Speaker 1: show called Jason, Josh and Will because we all found
Speaker 1: the same So it's like, you guys do have similar instruments, right,
Speaker 1: so's you know who? I was replaced by Nicole Sullivan.
Speaker 1: She go herself. That's hilarious. Wow. Nicole and I did
Speaker 1: a I don't even remember. It was four. We did
Speaker 1: a commercial together, like a voice of a commercial and
Speaker 1: I didn't and I forget like we I had. We
Speaker 1: were singing into some holiday thing. I can't even remember
Speaker 1: if an error what happened, but we were singing. We
Speaker 1: were singing and next to Nicole, they were like, hey, Brock,
Speaker 1: can you just like riff a little bit into mad Lips?
Speaker 1: And I'm like super aware that imagine the legend. I'm like, yeah, exactly,
Speaker 1: a couple of couple, you know, knock knocks. That's Nicole though.
Speaker 1: That's she's the best. She's great. She's really cool, all right. Rock.
Speaker 1: So as to wrap up here, here's the thing. Uh,
Speaker 1: one piece of advice. So you you Bill Farmers, your
Speaker 1: mentor So now you've got a mentee, what's the first
Speaker 1: piece of advice you would give that person? Uh, well
Speaker 1: to Segway and also truthfully, UM, don't don't post about
Speaker 1: stuff as soon as it happens, because you start to
Speaker 1: get connected. Um, your brain will start to connect social
Speaker 1: media with dopamine. And I think it's important to know
Speaker 1: that the wind isn't talking about the job, it's doing
Speaker 1: the job. I also like to my mentee, I would say,
Speaker 1: don't worry about getting the blue ribbon at the big sale.
Speaker 1: Come up with the best recipe you can for whatever
Speaker 1: whatever it is you do, and hone that recipe. Because
Speaker 1: the people that you're admiring and want to be like
Speaker 1: have been doing this for forty years. I mean we
Speaker 1: talked about Frank Welker, who's been voicing Fred on Scooby
Speaker 1: Doo since nineteen sixty something. Yeah, he's been around since
Speaker 1: it was Old Hampshire. Like, the guy's been here forever.
Speaker 1: So yeah, he's amazing. So just focus on the craft
Speaker 1: of it and don't don't fall for the trap that
Speaker 1: all of us do, which is social media following is
Speaker 1: so important. Um, engaging with fans is important, but you
Speaker 1: got into because you love the work. So don't ever
Speaker 1: trade the love of the work for the love of
Speaker 1: the admiration for the work, because you can't control that. Nice, nice,
Speaker 1: good ad. That's just interesting. Just to piggyback on that. Um,
Speaker 1: I'm I'm now almost three years without social media. Oh
Speaker 1: you are, really and it's the best ever. You don't.
Speaker 1: You don't use it at all at all. Nothing, No Twitter,
Speaker 1: no Instagram, no TikTok, no anything. I have no social
Speaker 1: media presence and it's wonderful. Well, I mean, you know
Speaker 1: what they're saying about me on the internet because I don't,
Speaker 1: and it's the best. Well, but then you're focused on
Speaker 1: this and then you don't have to Yeah, that's cool.
Speaker 1: It's just it's it's for my own mental health. I
Speaker 1: just couldn't do it anymore. I could not do it. It
Speaker 1: It made me anxious every day and I just couldn't
Speaker 1: do it anything. I get that. I get that. I
Speaker 1: don't think people talk about that enough. But I love,
Speaker 1: I love your advice. Focus on the work. At the
Speaker 1: end of the day, we're not voice over actors, were actors,
Speaker 1: So that's that's focus on that. Brock, You're the best.
Speaker 1: This is totally cool and now and now here's a
Speaker 1: bad segue. But we're on social media. Can everybody find
Speaker 1: you hilarious? Well, I'm I'm at Wilfred down because you
Speaker 1: know that domains open Partiday. That's what that voice, you
Speaker 1: know the other I discovered new voices all the time
Speaker 1: through my own anxiety, and so if you're talking about
Speaker 1: your inner critic, that voice is like whenever my my
Speaker 1: fiance is an amazing driver. I have major control issues
Speaker 1: though with road stuff because every accident I've ever been
Speaker 1: in someone else was driving. And so whenever I'm in
Speaker 1: the passenger seat, that's the voice of hello, jeez, I
Speaker 1: don't know where. Slow it down, Slow it down. Your
Speaker 1: fiance will be driving, and then you'll just you'll just
Speaker 1: start to speak like just like that. I think that
Speaker 1: was a yield yellow. I get that. We're there ever, um,
Speaker 1: you can find me on Instagram at Brock Talks, which
