Speaker 1: one hundred and three fever and I'm sorry, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: say it. You still killed it the whole episode, so
Speaker 1: thank you. Yeah, it was well, it was hard not
Speaker 1: to because we had such great folks, you know, we
Speaker 1: had Dylan and we had Julia, and Julia was you know,
Speaker 1: obviously she was talented, but it was great. We just
Speaker 1: we just had to eliminate somebody. So today again we
Speaker 1: had our first winner. But yeah, Dylan, Dylan from Dylan
Speaker 1: from Louisiana, our first moving on to the Round of

Speaker 1: Spoken like a true glass is half empty kind of person, like,
Speaker 1: wait a minute, I know, but like but really though,
Speaker 1: I think, I think when when you care about something
Speaker 1: and you put the work in um and and again,
Speaker 1: it does come down to community. We have such a
Speaker 1: great community. And speaking of community, I just wanted to
Speaker 1: shout out to Troy for Vicky, who has been hitting
Speaker 1: you know, the Last of Us publicity trail. I've been
Speaker 1: seeing him pop up everywhere and it's been so wonderful
Speaker 1: to see him, um take to the live action portion
Speaker 1: of Last of Us because I'm a fan of the
Speaker 1: actual show and he's like really just parts of him
Speaker 1: and his interviews have mentioned about how when he was
Speaker 1: in the studio growing up in Texas, he said something like,
Speaker 1: oh well I just say baby girl, and then that
Speaker 1: literally made it to the live action show. You know,
Speaker 1: that's cool. He's not on the live action show, right,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. I don't watch it and I don't haven't played. Okay,
Speaker 1: he is he is. Oh that's awesome. Yeah, he mentioned
Speaker 1: that in our interview too, and I I was so
Speaker 1: excited to see him finally pop up and he had
Speaker 1: this little arc or whatever, and it was that's great,
Speaker 1: really though. It was really cool to be like, I
Speaker 1: know him and he law. I'm not going to give
Speaker 1: any spoilers away, yeah, don't no spoilers, no spoilers, because
Speaker 1: I will watch it, especially now that Okay, he's a
Speaker 1: really good actor. Man. Oh, he's a great actor. He's
Speaker 1: super talented, super talented. And that reminded me of the fact.
Speaker 1: And also there's a lady who's Bokaton right um, and
Speaker 1: she apparently was um. Bokaton, I guess is a character
Speaker 1: in the Star Wars universe, right, okay, and the Mandalorian
Speaker 1: and she she's a she's okay, well, she's a Mandalor
Speaker 1: and she's kind of a rogue royal Mandalor. Well, Mandalor's
Speaker 1: a place, Mandalorian is the people, Mandalora's the planet. Yeah, perfect,
Speaker 1: thank you. I'm nerd enough to know that. And she
Speaker 1: I guess I just realized this too, that she was
Speaker 1: also a voice actress who made it to live action.
Speaker 1: And you know, John Favreau is super excited to have her,
Speaker 1: and it's so cool to see our community sort of
Speaker 1: because of the level of talent and acting that and
Speaker 1: also just a professionalism, right like she wouldn't want to
Speaker 1: they wouldn't want to work with Troy and and and
Speaker 1: her if like it was like they weren't a difficult thing. Yeah, no, no,
Speaker 1: I agree. I think it's great. Um, and we're gonna
Speaker 1: find the next one, and we're looking for the next
Speaker 1: one to join our community, which I'm so excited about,
Speaker 1: I really am. I first want to once again very

Speaker 1: But first of all, we have to meet our celebrity
Speaker 1: judge for the day. He is one of the best
Speaker 1: in the business ever, not exaggerating that in any way,

Speaker 1: Thank you firstly for having me back and secondly for
Speaker 1: giving me this opportunity to help and something that is
Speaker 1: so exciting. This is so cool. We are so just
Speaker 1: over the moon that you're here to help us for
Speaker 1: round two. So just a little bit so you know
Speaker 1: what's going on. We bring we bring in the two contestants.
Speaker 1: We bring them in one of the time, okay, and
Speaker 1: we play a little game. In our first game for
Speaker 1: everybody out there who joined us last week, it is
Speaker 1: the same game but with different lines. So the game
Speaker 1: we play is called by the Numbers, and what we
Speaker 1: are going to do with your help, Rob is you
Speaker 1: are going to pick numbers from several categories. We have
Speaker 1: a size category, what are you category, an age category,
Speaker 1: and a wacky attribute category. By picking random numbers, we're
Speaker 1: going to take those four numbers that you picked and
Speaker 1: that will create the characters that then our contestants have
Speaker 1: to voice. Two of their three lines were given to
Speaker 1: them ahead of time, so they have the lines, but
Speaker 1: they don't yet have the characters they're going to be doing,
Speaker 1: which will be creating on the spot. Then as a
Speaker 1: fun third round, they are thrown a line they have
Speaker 1: not seen and we'll have to do a cold reading
Speaker 1: with a new character that we create. And then we
Speaker 1: would love for you, just because of your amazing expertise
Speaker 1: in the industry, We would love for you after each
Speaker 1: round if you want to give them some notes, maybe
Speaker 1: tell them a few things they need to do to
Speaker 1: focus or slow down or what you know, whatever you
Speaker 1: think it's going to be, and then we'll give them
Speaker 1: a chance to read the line again and we will
Speaker 1: then deliberate and see who moves on. Last week we
Speaker 1: had Dylan from We had two amazing contestants last week,
Speaker 1: and Dylan from Louisiana absolutely just killed it with everything

Speaker 1: thank you very much. Rob Any notes on Hayden's route
Speaker 1: first take. I just have Hayden if you wouldn't mind
Speaker 1: doing it again, buddy, take a breath and do it
Speaker 1: again them This is a little bit of you know, pressure,
Speaker 1: because you're it's it's something that's not sort of usually
Speaker 1: in your wheelhouse. I think we owe it to you
Speaker 1: to take a breath and get just get another crack
Speaker 1: at it. Not that that wasn't good, Christian and will
Speaker 1: will know this. I've not yet metacasting person or director
Speaker 1: who's had a problem if I start working and I
Speaker 1: was stumbling all over myself or my mind's going and
Speaker 1: getting ahead of my voice, and I say, I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: do you mind if I start over? Not ever have
Speaker 1: I had anybody hold that against me. So uh, frankly,
Speaker 1: you owe it to us and yourself to be as
Speaker 1: on point as possible, and if that means taking a breath,
Speaker 1: do that. So I just would love to have you
Speaker 1: get another shot at it. Okay, Christy, do you have
Speaker 1: any notes with there your emotional state. I think you
Speaker 1: definitely nailed your emotional state. And then I think I
Speaker 1: think sometimes too when we when we choose to do
Speaker 1: bold choices as these characters, like a five year old
Speaker 1: could creatively not sound like a five year old, you know,
Speaker 1: like we could do a five year old mere person,
Speaker 1: but it sounds like a you know, forty year old veteran,
Speaker 1: like you know, smoking a cigarette. But you know, make
Speaker 1: that choice. We love bold choices. Okay, okay, I agree.
Speaker 1: I would say, you know, I'm gonna go with both
Speaker 1: the notes that both Rob and Christy just gave you,
Speaker 1: and I think you do. Just need to take a
Speaker 1: breath and give it one more shot and remember to
Speaker 1: hit your beats and I think that's after that, I
Speaker 1: think you're going to be good. So let's give it
Speaker 1: one more shot, all right, Hayden? You ready, I think,
Speaker 1: So take a breath and at your pleasure. So what's
Speaker 1: the deal with airlines? These stays? Am? I right? People?

Speaker 1: are a tiny dog. You are five years old, well
Speaker 1: in dog years. Okay, again, she can plan however she likes.
Speaker 1: She's five years old. However, you however you want, and

Speaker 1: when she was raising her voice or being more Yes,
Speaker 1: we we had this same problem last time. Some of
Speaker 1: the mics are not picking up the higher registers the
Speaker 1: way that we did it. Hush and maybe maybe just
Speaker 1: play it a little bit off Mike and a little
Speaker 1: farther back, and we'll see if we can get because
Speaker 1: I don't think we have any notes at this point,
Speaker 1: because we want to make sure that we hear the

Speaker 1: this character performs. So I would like to hear you
Speaker 1: do one that's as big as you can do it.

Speaker 1: nose lug up if you have hay fever. You know,
Speaker 1: people who do it can be miserable and that can
Speaker 1: be reflected in the sound of the character. Okay, I
Speaker 1: would also add, just very quickly, I would also add,
Speaker 1: and we didn't I didn't push you on this last time,
Speaker 1: but I'd like to see a little more of the
Speaker 1: range of the care of the age. Okay, so let's
Speaker 1: see if we can see a little bit of the
Speaker 1: ten you here, a little bit more of the ten
Speaker 1: year old this time in this take. How about you Christian?
Speaker 1: And then Hayden, like your your you have a really
Speaker 1: great microphone that you're using today. Could you please just
Speaker 1: like talk into the microphone and don't worry about looking
Speaker 1: at us for first round? Okay, sure, yeah, just really
Speaker 1: use that microphone so we could really hear your tone
Speaker 1: and don't worry about looking at us or seeing us.
Speaker 1: Just kind of get lost in like what we've heard
Speaker 1: in your audition. That's a great that's a very point.
Speaker 1: And often especially with with on camera folks who come
Speaker 1: into do cartoons, um for obvious reasons, they're used to
Speaker 1: engaging characters to the left or to the right, and
Speaker 1: sometimes something as simple as the director or the engineers saying, um, hey, Rob,
Speaker 1: you know what we'll take care of that. Um, if
Speaker 1: you wouldn't mind, just please keep your head forward. You
Speaker 1: can move around and gesticulate all you want, but we'll
Speaker 1: handle it. So you really, everybody wants you to be
Speaker 1: dealing with what is best for Hayden. Okay, great, great point,
Speaker 1: CHRISTI sure, thank you allre you ready, Hayden, And take
Speaker 1: a bar before you go. Yeah, don't rush into it,
Speaker 1: all right, perfect, at your pleasure. So this guy wasts
Speaker 1: into a bar bartendersis No, wait, that's not it. So
Speaker 1: this this this horse he walks into the bar with
Speaker 1: the duck unders arm. No, that's not it either. Let's
Speaker 1: try this again. Sorry, this this horse walks into a
Speaker 1: bar to get to the other side. There we go.
Speaker 1: That was great. You took all the direction very well,
Speaker 1: I thought, there, Hayden, thank you, thank you. All right,
Speaker 1: we'll be right back with you. That was great, Christy,
Speaker 1: because he did he played, he played into the microphone
Speaker 1: more and we were able to hear it more and
Speaker 1: hear his tone a little better. And that was a
Speaker 1: great note. Yeah, I think so much of this has
Speaker 1: to do with being able to understand booth at a kid,
Speaker 1: and yeah, sure you know. And yeah, I think I
Speaker 1: couldn't agree with you more, and we are back. Hello, Danielle.
Speaker 1: So we're throwing a little wrinkle here. If you look
Speaker 1: at you your chat, you have a new line there
Speaker 1: that we're gonna that you have not had a chance
Speaker 1: to rehearse yet. We were gonna throw one at your
Speaker 1: cold Okay, We're gonna do one last round with you,
Speaker 1: mister Paulson, one last time, sir. A number between one
Speaker 1: and six? Did I do five yet? And now let's
Speaker 1: do five? Five sounds good? Okay? How about between one
Speaker 1: and twelve? Okay? Three? You got all right? A number
Speaker 1: between one and seven four? Four works? And then a
Speaker 1: number between one and eleven ten? Nice Christy. You want
Speaker 1: to take it? You want me to read it? I
Speaker 1: what was the first? One? Five? Five would make you
Speaker 1: any mouse? That is? What was the age? Fifteen? Fifteen?
Speaker 1: And you are afraid of your own shadow? We'll see
Speaker 1: that's definitely not Danielle, take it away. Okay. So this
Speaker 1: guy walks into a bar and the bartender says, no, no, no, no, weight,
Speaker 1: that's not it. Oh. So this horse walks into a
Speaker 1: bar with a duck under its dark. No, Oh, that's
Speaker 1: not it either. Let me try again. This horse walk
Speaker 1: into a bar to get to the other bag. Dail.
Speaker 1: That was That was great, Danielle, really really good. One
Speaker 1: thing I would like to to hear um just I
Speaker 1: would add some I remember, you're afraid of your own shadow.
Speaker 1: Let's add a little bit of fear um into the reading.
Speaker 1: But other than that, I got nothing else. Rob yeah,
Speaker 1: I uh, Sam as well, just pig because we can.
Speaker 1: Would you throw your choice your choice some sort of
Speaker 1: not necessarily a dialect, but something that might be specific
Speaker 1: to a certain area of the country or another country
Speaker 1: or whatever. The only reason I say that is because
Speaker 1: I've had more than a number of characters in which
Speaker 1: I've been able to work and get jobs simply because
Speaker 1: and I know this has happened to Christie and Will.
Speaker 1: We're not limited by what we think the people on
Speaker 1: the other side of the glass want. And I say
Speaker 1: that specifically with respect to Pinky, and Pinky was one
Speaker 1: of those that I had all kinds of stuff to try.
Speaker 1: I was a big fan of the pythons. They were
Speaker 1: very instrumental in developing my sense of human my desire
Speaker 1: to work on dialects and weird things and placements and
Speaker 1: all that. And it turned out to be a nice gig.
Speaker 1: So those are that may be something you come up
Speaker 1: without the bat. But this is a good opportunity when
Speaker 1: when a producer says, man, Danielle, you're giving us everything
Speaker 1: we like we want. We're diving it like Weill said,
Speaker 1: you did everything we asked for. Have you got anything?
Speaker 1: So whatever it is that this is an opportunity, you say, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna try this, and you never know if that's
Speaker 1: going to separate you from the pack a bit. I
Speaker 1: got you, all right. So this guy walks into a
Speaker 1: box and the box and just said, no, no, wait,
Speaker 1: god's not Oh. So this horse walked into a bar
Speaker 1: with a duck under its honor. No, no, oh, let
Speaker 1: me try agenda. This horse walked into a bar to
Speaker 1: get to the other. That's great. Yeah, I mean yeah,
Speaker 1: that's great. Great, And and it sounds all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: we got a mouse from Boston. Yeah, exactly, it sounded
Speaker 1: like is its Archie Bunker's wife just gonna say it
Speaker 1: sounded exactly like. Yeah, it sounded just like you. That
Speaker 1: is a voice. That's a voice I developed when I
Speaker 1: played Audrey a little. That's exactly so because there's a
Speaker 1: different there's a difference between Bath and ba you know
Speaker 1: what I mean. Archie would say, well where's the bar Edith,
Speaker 1: but Billy or somebody from Boston will say, where's the
Speaker 1: back back? Yeah? Thank you, daniel I appreciate it. We'll
Speaker 1: be right back with you. All right, Okay, there we go.
Speaker 1: It is time to deliberate. We're open and honest with
Speaker 1: with what we hear and what we've talked about, and
Speaker 1: we with the contestants that are coming it is it's
Speaker 1: so awesome that they've made it to the top sixteen.
Speaker 1: They're all uber talented. We said at the beginning, all
Speaker 1: sixteen of the people that we picked could be signed tomorrow.
Speaker 1: Forty two hundred people. Yeah, it was crazy. It was
Speaker 1: absolutely crazy. Ok. You got that alone. Is a herculean
Speaker 1: task that you guys took on. It was a lot
Speaker 1: and we listened to every single entry, so both it
Speaker 1: was a lot. It did, but it was worth it.
Speaker 1: And I'm going to be totally honest because we've said
Speaker 1: from the beginning that doing voices is wonderful, but first
Speaker 1: and foremost, you're a voice actor, and I have to
Speaker 1: say that overall, Danielle just is a better actor. Yes,
Speaker 1: That is not to say that Hayden is not could
Speaker 1: not learn, because you know, I think he if he
Speaker 1: takes some classes and kind of works a little bit
Speaker 1: more on his acting, he might have something because especially
Speaker 1: his natural speaking voice is great. And I've I've often
Speaker 1: said I don't do fifty voices. I am not that guy.
Speaker 1: I can't do fifty voices, And a lot of the
Speaker 1: voices I do are very similar to my own voice.
Speaker 1: So you can have a very good career soundunding like yourself.
Speaker 1: But those opportunities to know how to step outside yourself
Speaker 1: and fully invest yourself into a character are things that
Speaker 1: traditionally have happened as a result of live performance. She
Speaker 1: I think was clearly the better contestant today. Yea, And
Speaker 1: the winner of this round is Danielle from Tennessee. Who Okay, So,
Speaker 1: why don't we why don't we bring in Well, let's
Speaker 1: bring in Hayden first. Why don't we Why don't we
Speaker 1: do that? Hey, Hayden, how are you good? How you
Speaker 1: guys doing not too bad? You asked that question. How
Speaker 1: are you from the last seven minutes we've not seen? Yeah,
Speaker 1: just a little bit better. Yeah, but that's the idea.
Speaker 1: Just get better and better. Hey, did we want to
Speaker 1: congratulate you so much on making it this far. You
Speaker 1: did a great, great job today. But unfortunately this is
Speaker 1: going to be the end of the line in the
Speaker 1: contest for you or the person and you were up against.
Speaker 1: She was just really wonderful today. Um. But please please
Speaker 1: do not stop. Yeah, because you're you're very good at
Speaker 1: what you do. Your natural voice, your natural register, that
Speaker 1: the pipes that you were gifted with are phenomenal. Um.
Speaker 1: Do you have any background performance wise, I mean apart
Speaker 1: from a desire to do voice work, and you're clearly
Speaker 1: a bright young man with it, as as Will said,
Speaker 1: a gifted instrument. Um, I don't, actually, it's just honestly
Speaker 1: just doing voices for friends. Over the years. Um, I've
Speaker 1: had a few jobs where I've like announced things to people,
Speaker 1: like racetracks. I was calling races out and stuff like that.
Speaker 1: Your voice is so clear and your enunciation your articulate
Speaker 1: to the extent you would like to pursue this, and honestly,
Speaker 1: this is the right now. The best reason to do
Speaker 1: it is because it makes you so happy. That is
Speaker 1: the most the noblest of reasons to pursue it. However,
Speaker 1: should you just I had to pursue this, I would
Speaker 1: definitely avail yourself if you're interested of maybe doing either
Speaker 1: finding or putting together an improv group where you learn
Speaker 1: to think on your feet and create characters on the
Speaker 1: spur of the moment. That experience will never not serve
Speaker 1: you well. When you're able to think and speak extemporaneously,
Speaker 1: your ability as an actor, thinking on your feet will
Speaker 1: make you at ease, and it will also make you
Speaker 1: a better actor. But man, I'll tell you what for
Speaker 1: somebody who just says, hey, this sounds like fun. Yeah,
Speaker 1: really great, pal, Yeah, I really appreciate that. Guys, thank you.
Speaker 1: Now we said, we said from the beginning Hayden that
Speaker 1: the sixteen people that we picked and again from over
Speaker 1: thousands to sixteen all could be signed. You really, this
Speaker 1: is not something. If this is something you want to pursue,
Speaker 1: Rob is right, you should, and I would look into
Speaker 1: an acting class. I would look into an improv class
Speaker 1: because you've got the natural. You've got something that can't
Speaker 1: be taught, which is the natural pipes. Um So, I
Speaker 1: think if you work a bit on on the acting
Speaker 1: and the improv, I think you know, sky's the limit.
Speaker 1: Really I agree. My final thought too, is it's just
Speaker 1: making those bold choices and and and really having fun
Speaker 1: with it going forward. And yeah, just this, this doesn't
Speaker 1: have to be the end of the line for you.
Speaker 1: It's just a matter of your next step. Thank you, Hayden. Yeah,
Speaker 1: thank you guys. It's great opportunity. I will definitely take
Speaker 1: all the notes in critiques and I will continue my
Speaker 1: craft that way, I can work alongside you guys. One
Speaker 1: day you should. I'm sure it'll happen. I'm sure it'll
Speaker 1: happen here. Thank you, great guy, great great. His natural
Speaker 1: pipes are amazing. Yeah. Oh Danielle, Oh, Danielle, we liked
Speaker 1: you kind of um, but what a kind of maybe,
Speaker 1: I don't know. No, you are congratulations. You are going
Speaker 1: onto the next round of the contest. Yes, you're going
Speaker 1: to not yet, not yet, so congratulations going to the
Speaker 1: top eight for the next round, which will get harder.
Speaker 1: Our suggestion for you would be, can you can you
Speaker 1: find a mic or snowball or something to use. We
Speaker 1: just want to make sure that we give all of
Speaker 1: our contestants the best opportunity to make the most of
Speaker 1: the opportunity that they have. So congratulations. It was gonna
Speaker 1: start getting more difficult, but I'm our past round one
Speaker 1: and Rob, do you have any overall notes you would
Speaker 1: like to give Danielle as she moves forward in the contest.
Speaker 1: You're obviously very talented and you are you jump in
Speaker 1: with both feet your background in theater. That really was
Speaker 1: a really wonderful thing for people who are listening to
Speaker 1: the podcast to see two people who are talented, but
Speaker 1: the one who has the experience that allows you to
Speaker 1: become yes and become unself conscious. That is to say,
Speaker 1: Danielle has nothing to do with the character that I'm
Speaker 1: There's no I hope this is. There's no. You're not reticent.
Speaker 1: You go for it, and that's because you have you
Speaker 1: have training, you have acting jobs, you have experience, and
Speaker 1: that will serve you really well. Great job, Thank you,
Speaker 1: And if I'm wrong, I can be totally confident in
Speaker 1: my wrongness. It's fine, forgive me. But I gotta say
Speaker 1: this because when these guys are nice enough to I've
Speaker 1: been I'm an old Hollywood dog and the number of
Speaker 1: times I've gotten a job where at the end of
Speaker 1: the audition the producers got anything else. As I said,
Speaker 1: I sure do Boom boom boom, boom boom. Great, thanks Rob,
Speaker 1: and then I'll get a call Rob, you didn't get
Speaker 1: the job because what you did was really not right
Speaker 1: for this. However, your choices were so clear, and we're
Speaker 1: going to stash this away. And this has happened three
Speaker 1: times I can think of over my career where literally
Speaker 1: a year, sometimes too later, will the producer call my
Speaker 1: agents say, hey, wanted Rob come and read this. I'm
Speaker 1: not working. I was at Disney when I met him before.
Speaker 1: Now I'm at Warner Brothers. I think I got something
Speaker 1: for him. Hey Rob, remember but no, I don't here.
Speaker 1: This is what you did that was wrong? Can you
Speaker 1: do that again? Sure? And I get the job. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So those opportunities are are You're not, as they say,
Speaker 1: you're not auditioning just for that particular job. Yeah, oh exactly.
Speaker 1: So you know, thank you, thank you, congratulations on making
Speaker 1: it to the next round contest to become the next
Speaker 1: big voice actor. So that's uh, it's great. We can't
Speaker 1: we can't wait to see where it goes from here.
Speaker 1: Thank you so much for joining us, and we will
Speaker 1: see you next round the job kiddo, than you welcome, Daniel.
Speaker 1: I think that there are no mistakes there, there's no accidents,
Speaker 1: right like, so the fact that you guys just happened
Speaker 1: and totally independently chat there today, it is a really
Speaker 1: it's why we wanted folks like you to, you know,
Speaker 1: try to see if we could, if you could fit
