Can you tell us 84 00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:26,279 Speaker 1: how you got into v O. Uh, well, do you 85 00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:28,640 Speaker 1: know the term blackmail and extortion? Have you heard of 86 00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:34,039 Speaker 1: these two things? Yes? Yea, How did I get into 87 00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:39,440 Speaker 1: voice over? Um? Okay, Well, when I was about five 88 00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:44,080 Speaker 1: years old, my older brother Mike used to do this 89 00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:50,040 Speaker 1: impression of Jackie Stewart, who was a Scottish racecar commentator 90 00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:52,000 Speaker 1: back in the day. He used to be a driver, 91 00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:55,680 Speaker 1: but he turned into a commentator on his entire thing 92 00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:59,760 Speaker 1: was would be very excitable, right, so I mean commentate 93 00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:01,440 Speaker 1: to the relation. Of course, in those days the races 94 00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:03,359 Speaker 1: were just cars going round and around around around it circles, 95 00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:07,040 Speaker 1: as much as they are today as a matter fact, 96 00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:14,920 Speaker 1: that's still the same anyway. So what would invariably happen 97 00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:16,600 Speaker 1: is that one of the cars would blow a tire, 98 00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:18,800 Speaker 1: spin out, hit the wall and explode. And so as 99 00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:22,960 Speaker 1: Jackie was, you know, uh talking about this, he very excited. 100 00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:25,360 Speaker 1: Oh no, look at care forty three is coming around 101 00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:27,880 Speaker 1: the Bandy's looking good. Oh no, don't. He's hit the 102 00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:30,040 Speaker 1: wall and he set the flames. And that was a 103 00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:32,440 Speaker 1: big thing in Burthon fight. So he would My brother 104 00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:35,160 Speaker 1: would do this thing around the dinner table where he'd 105 00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:38,080 Speaker 1: have like he'd say, hey, pass the catchup and mustard 106 00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:40,640 Speaker 1: and catch So it's a great deal forays. Today we've 107 00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:42,920 Speaker 1: got cot Shop on mustard. Oh look at this cot 108 00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:44,880 Speaker 1: Shop pulls out in nth and you do this whole 109 00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:47,800 Speaker 1: thing and then oh no, that mustard hits at bar 110 00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:52,000 Speaker 1: sent the flames. So everyone and I saw this, and 111 00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:54,000 Speaker 1: I said, everybody laughing at this le voice, and I thought, 112 00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:58,320 Speaker 1: it's my gateway to total power and domination. One day 113 00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:00,359 Speaker 1: I just kind of did the punchline and he was 114 00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:03,960 Speaker 1: doing the set up, but everyone oh, and I thought, oh, 115 00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:07,600 Speaker 1: perhaps I could do something with it. And yeah, so 116 00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:09,880 Speaker 1: I just started doing voices and accents and stuff. But 117 00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:13,440 Speaker 1: it wasn't for years and years and years years later 118 00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:18,719 Speaker 1: that I realized it could be a you know, a job. Well, 119 00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:21,800 Speaker 1: you're also in Canada, so there's not a lot of 120 00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:24,320 Speaker 1: opportunity for jobs, and there was in vancous. I was 121 00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:26,159 Speaker 1: living in Vant to the time, which was the big 122 00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:30,200 Speaker 1: the theatrical capital of the western hemisphere of the country 123 00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:33,240 Speaker 1: as it is me. But I with the filmmaker at 124 00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:34,520 Speaker 1: the time as well, a director, So I went to 125 00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:38,880 Speaker 1: Vancouver because that was Hollywood North and uh went north 126 00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:43,120 Speaker 1: That's that's what they called it. Yeah, because especially at 127 00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:44,640 Speaker 1: that time, man, because that was the days of the 128 00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:47,920 Speaker 1: Hex Files and like everything was being shot up there, 129 00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:52,479 Speaker 1: you know, and we got there right, Oh yeah, sure Disney. 130 00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:54,520 Speaker 1: Disney would always do whenever we did a Disney movie, 131 00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:56,200 Speaker 1: it would be like, hey, you're shooting a movie that 132 00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:57,800 Speaker 1: takes place half a mile from your house, Let's go 133 00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:01,279 Speaker 1: to Vancouver. So that's pretty much what you do Vancouver 134 00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:04,680 Speaker 1: or Toronto. Yeah. So, so we had there was a 135 00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:07,560 Speaker 1: there was a big animation industry there, um and so 136 00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:10,480 Speaker 1: I I went and I didn't even think because I 137 00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:12,960 Speaker 1: went there to be a filmmaker and director, and within 138 00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:15,560 Speaker 1: six months I had sort of fallen backwards into this 139 00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:18,480 Speaker 1: strange world where people were talking to each other and 140 00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:21,000 Speaker 1: silly voices and doing things and that was that. And 141 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:23,640 Speaker 1: that was two years ago. So that sounds like you 142 00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:25,640 Speaker 1: were inspired by a lot of the folks around you 143 00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:34,640 Speaker 1: at that time. Well no, well, okay, so the thing 144 00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:36,320 Speaker 1: is is that, you know, I grew up, you know, 145 00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:38,640 Speaker 1: like a lot of people who may age, I grew 146 00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:41,400 Speaker 1: up you know, watching uh, you know, Bugs, Bunny and 147 00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:44,480 Speaker 1: of course all that stuff was great, and but I 148 00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:48,560 Speaker 1: didn't actually think that voiceover for cartoons was was a thing. 149 00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:52,560 Speaker 1: This is how this is how dim I am. When 150 00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:54,160 Speaker 1: someone said to me, A friend of mine said to me, 151 00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:55,640 Speaker 1: when I moved to Vancouver, he said to me, you 152 00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:57,160 Speaker 1: know you should get into a voice over. I said, 153 00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:58,320 Speaker 1: what do you mean. He said, well, you know, like 154 00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:00,800 Speaker 1: cartoon voices and tough and I was like, oh, yeah, 155 00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:05,920 Speaker 1: those are actors. You know. The next thing I thought 156 00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:08,480 Speaker 1: was in and this cartoon was you know, drawn in 157 00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:11,239 Speaker 1: front of a live studio audience. I'm just didn't quite 158 00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:14,280 Speaker 1: make the connected. Yeah, their their hands get very tired, 159 00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:17,760 Speaker 1: very quickly when they have to draw live. Yeah. But 160 00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:19,720 Speaker 1: when I started to work, what I discovered was the 161 00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:21,280 Speaker 1: same thing I would go on to discover in l 162 00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:24,640 Speaker 1: A in that it's a very tiny little community, a 163 00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:28,440 Speaker 1: very dedicated kookie people who love their jobs and they 164 00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:31,600 Speaker 1: take their job seriously, but they don't take themselves particularly seriously. 165 00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:35,600 Speaker 1: And that so happy. Um. Yeah, so in that sense, 166 00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:37,560 Speaker 1: I was inspired by the people I worked with immediately 167 00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:39,720 Speaker 1: was it was Yeah, it was a great world to 168 00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:42,440 Speaker 1: be part of. Now, was that when when you started 169 00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:44,160 Speaker 1: v O was at it? Were you like, this is it? 170 00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:46,400 Speaker 1: This is what I'm doing? Or were you still saying, hey, 171 00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:48,240 Speaker 1: vo is great and this will be awesome until my 172 00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:51,440 Speaker 1: acting and directing career takes off. When I did my 173 00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:56,160 Speaker 1: first job, it was September and it was with Sue Blue. 174 00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:59,400 Speaker 1: She was my first director, and uh, it was it 175 00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:01,400 Speaker 1: can't be any twenty and can't be seen IM sorry, 176 00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:05,640 Speaker 1: So what I was like, wait a second, and I 177 00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:08,920 Speaker 1: did a show together before I didn't even realize. I 178 00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:11,400 Speaker 1: was that's how did there it is? That's the brain 179 00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:17,319 Speaker 1: works U and he was two thousand it was, and 180 00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:19,600 Speaker 1: uh it was a great that we did like twenty 181 00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:22,200 Speaker 1: six episodes and three months it was like pop, get 182 00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:24,520 Speaker 1: him out. And the show never made it to air 183 00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:27,080 Speaker 1: because they ran it a funding, which kind of sucks 184 00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:29,840 Speaker 1: because it was really cool. But up in Canada we 185 00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:31,920 Speaker 1: were paid with a buyout system, so we got we 186 00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:35,800 Speaker 1: got all the money up front, so that actually worked out. Yeah, exactly, 187 00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:37,719 Speaker 1: that's why they couldn't afford the show. They had to 188 00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:42,120 Speaker 1: pay us anyway. Anyway, we did the show and the 189 00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:44,200 Speaker 1: whole time I thought, Okay, well this is great. That's 190 00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:46,160 Speaker 1: more money than I've ever seen in my life before. 191 00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:48,800 Speaker 1: I'm gonna pay off my big student on which I 192 00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:50,840 Speaker 1: had and that'll be that I'm gonna keep a little 193 00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:52,880 Speaker 1: for a rainy day and assume that this will never 194 00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:57,679 Speaker 1: happen again, because it probably won't. And and the next 195 00:09:57,760 --> 00:09:59,640 Speaker 1: week they said, hey, you're on another show, and I 196 00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:04,000 Speaker 1: went o, well, this will never happen again. And then hey, 197 00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:05,480 Speaker 1: you want to do this on the show. Okay, but 198 00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:09,559 Speaker 1: this and to this day when I get a job, 199 00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:11,960 Speaker 1: I'm still well, this is nice, but that's never gonna 200 00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:14,360 Speaker 1: happen again. That's such an actor thing. We still always 201 00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:16,800 Speaker 1: do that we're doing we're I remember so Trevor and 202 00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:19,040 Speaker 1: I did Guardians to the Galaxy together and he was 203 00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:22,360 Speaker 1: Rocket and I was star Lord, and we would look 204 00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:24,640 Speaker 1: at each other even by second and third season be like, 205 00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:27,920 Speaker 1: this show is not gonna go It's like, wait, it's 206 00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:29,480 Speaker 1: been on the air for two years. Yeah, now this 207 00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:32,400 Speaker 1: this isn't going anywhere. I mean, that's show you got away. 208 00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:35,360 Speaker 1: Such an actor thing. I mean, it's every actor has 209 00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:39,920 Speaker 1: imposter syndrome. Every actor is completely and totally insecure about 210 00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:42,439 Speaker 1: themselves in their career. And if you meet an actor 211 00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:45,080 Speaker 1: that's like I'm gonna work all the time, you're like, 212 00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:48,320 Speaker 1: you are not really in this business? Are you? Because 213 00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:50,960 Speaker 1: you just don't you don't meet those people. I was. 214 00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:52,680 Speaker 1: I was in a I was in a bar, a 215 00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:55,000 Speaker 1: pub after a session this many years ago back in Vancouver, 216 00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:57,760 Speaker 1: and there was a colleague of mine who shall remain nameless, 217 00:10:57,800 --> 00:10:59,720 Speaker 1: who was sitting there at the bar with me, and 218 00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:01,520 Speaker 1: we were just coming off the high of having this 219 00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:04,199 Speaker 1: great session and you know, playing multiple characters blah blah 220 00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:07,680 Speaker 1: blah blah blah. And he said, you know right now, 221 00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:10,480 Speaker 1: how everything's great. We're all on like six shows, you 222 00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:14,400 Speaker 1: and I. Right now, this it's never gonna get this 223 00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:16,559 Speaker 1: is it's just gonna keep getting better and better. And 224 00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:21,160 Speaker 1: I was like, no, that are you out of your mind? There? 225 00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:27,480 Speaker 1: Listening every time every time I'm in the car with 226 00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:29,480 Speaker 1: my wife and she's like, wow, no traffic. I'm like, 227 00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:32,080 Speaker 1: are you kidding me? What are you doing? What are 228 00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:34,160 Speaker 1: you It's not gonna rain on our picnic day? Hey? 229 00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:38,040 Speaker 1: What are you thinking? Don't think they're listening there, You're 230 00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:51,920 Speaker 1: absolutely right there listening. You mentioned bugs, Bunny and stuff 231 00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:54,320 Speaker 1: like that. So, having kind of fallen into the voice 232 00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:57,280 Speaker 1: overside of the industry, were you not a huge animation 233 00:11:57,280 --> 00:12:00,800 Speaker 1: fan growing up? Well? No, I mean, like I said, 234 00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:06,800 Speaker 1: I love Bugs Bunny. Uh, But it didn't really occur 235 00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:09,280 Speaker 1: to me that this was the cartoons that I watched 236 00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:12,760 Speaker 1: as a kid. Bugs Bunny. Uh. What the hell was 237 00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:15,840 Speaker 1: the Battle of the Planets, which was the the anime 238 00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:19,160 Speaker 1: thing that was a rip off of something I don't know. 239 00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:23,040 Speaker 1: We was some gotcha, well it was. It was some 240 00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:26,640 Speaker 1: giant Japanese anime that they turned into a different version 241 00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:30,320 Speaker 1: called Battle of the Planets, and I watched that today. 242 00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:33,120 Speaker 1: By the way, it's unwatchable. We actually, I'm sure we 243 00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:35,120 Speaker 1: were like, let's check this out and see it. Holds up? 244 00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:41,120 Speaker 1: Hold up? But that or like like, um, this is 245 00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:43,520 Speaker 1: the old Spider Man cartoon that like back he did 246 00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:46,040 Speaker 1: and stuff like that stuff. I love that stuff. But 247 00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:48,800 Speaker 1: I didn't really watch a lot of cartoons as a kid. 248 00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:50,640 Speaker 1: I was I was too busy playing with my toys 249 00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:54,079 Speaker 1: and giving them my own voices. You know, I didn't, Yeah, 250 00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:58,040 Speaker 1: so it um, I didn't. I didn't know it was 251 00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:00,520 Speaker 1: a job, like I honestly didn't know it was a 252 00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:03,360 Speaker 1: career choice. It didn't even occur to me. Honestly. Doing 253 00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:06,040 Speaker 1: voices was a way to try and impress girls at parties, 254 00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:08,920 Speaker 1: which was only marginally successful. So I was gonna say, 255 00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:12,120 Speaker 1: you went to way different parties than I did. I 256 00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:18,800 Speaker 1: can only apologize in so many dialects. That's well, can 257 00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:21,959 Speaker 1: you remember the first voice you ever did? Yes? Oh 258 00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:23,920 Speaker 1: you the first voice I ever did? Or when you 259 00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:25,720 Speaker 1: even as a kid, Now, the first voice you ever 260 00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:28,960 Speaker 1: did as a kid, you remember it might have been 261 00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:30,880 Speaker 1: It might have been the Scottish because you know that 262 00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:33,520 Speaker 1: that accent has. It's certainly the first one I ever learned. 263 00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:36,199 Speaker 1: And uh, to this day, like when I when I 264 00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:38,040 Speaker 1: book a job with that accent, I'm just there's there's 265 00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:39,959 Speaker 1: a part of me that's like, oh, thanks Broke. He's 266 00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:42,480 Speaker 1: he's passed on now. So it's a little like thanks Mike. 267 00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:45,920 Speaker 1: You know that was the thing that always amazed me 268 00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:48,920 Speaker 1: about you was so And this is a perfect example 269 00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:51,079 Speaker 1: of talking about the different kind of aspects of the 270 00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:53,480 Speaker 1: voice over world, because there are people we've talked about 271 00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:57,520 Speaker 1: how somebody like me, for instance, or Christie, we we 272 00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:00,319 Speaker 1: don't do fifty voices. We just can't do fifty voices. 273 00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:03,680 Speaker 1: Will never do fifty voices. It's just not in our DNA. 274 00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:06,760 Speaker 1: And then there's some actors that can do fifty sounds, 275 00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:09,400 Speaker 1: fifty cartoon voices make it sound like, you know, there 276 00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:11,520 Speaker 1: are robots or whatever, and then there's actors like you 277 00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:12,880 Speaker 1: that can do a little bit of everything. But then 278 00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:16,360 Speaker 1: when it comes to dialects, you can kind of do 279 00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:20,280 Speaker 1: them all. So was there was that something that you 280 00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:23,280 Speaker 1: gravitated tours? Was was listening to other people's voices and 281 00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:26,440 Speaker 1: kind of trying to mimic them, because it's not necessarily 282 00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:29,360 Speaker 1: the same as doing a cartoon voice quote unquote. You're 283 00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:31,280 Speaker 1: not going in going hey, how does everybody go that? 284 00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:33,840 Speaker 1: It's more like you're doing a real Scottish thing. And 285 00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:35,160 Speaker 1: the thing that I love is I would always do 286 00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:36,640 Speaker 1: it next to you and it would go about thirty 287 00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:39,040 Speaker 1: seconds and you go, please please stop doing that, please 288 00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:42,400 Speaker 1: please please stop. It's not there. And I'm like, what 289 00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:44,680 Speaker 1: are you talking about? I am Irish. You're like, oh god, 290 00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:47,960 Speaker 1: please please do please cut it out, please stop. So 291 00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:52,520 Speaker 1: where did the dialects come from? Um? It is a 292 00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:56,560 Speaker 1: bit of imitation. Uh. But also growing up in Canada. 293 00:14:56,600 --> 00:14:57,920 Speaker 1: I was just talking about this with a colleague one 294 00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:00,920 Speaker 1: the other day. Growing up in Canada, we were exposed 295 00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:04,120 Speaker 1: to a lot of British programming, the BBC in particular, 296 00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:07,640 Speaker 1: so I grew up with BBC News One, and I 297 00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:09,480 Speaker 1: grew up with Monty Python, and I grew up with 298 00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:12,520 Speaker 1: all of that stuff. So those accents were prevalent in 299 00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:15,640 Speaker 1: my childhood. I just heard them all the time, and 300 00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:19,240 Speaker 1: they were easy and fun to imitate. And you know, 301 00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:21,360 Speaker 1: when you when you're exposed to a dialect at a 302 00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:23,560 Speaker 1: very young age, obviously you develop an ear for it 303 00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:25,000 Speaker 1: and you can you know, sometimes you don't even know 304 00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:28,240 Speaker 1: you're doing it. Uh But where's a lot of American 305 00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:31,920 Speaker 1: friends of mine. They don't have that same experience, you know, 306 00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:35,600 Speaker 1: because everything was was about American stuff, an American dialect. 307 00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:39,200 Speaker 1: So I think I think that helped me. But yeah, 308 00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:44,000 Speaker 1: it's weird because I can't describe how Like I can't 309 00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:47,240 Speaker 1: teach a dialect. I couldn't say, oh, this is how 310 00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:50,720 Speaker 1: you do dialect x. I just it just kind of 311 00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:52,880 Speaker 1: comes to me. Well, I mean, will you remember the 312 00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:56,760 Speaker 1: story where we were at? Uh? So, for me, the 313 00:15:57,200 --> 00:15:59,800 Speaker 1: South African accent was always this holy grail of accents. 314 00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:02,360 Speaker 1: That's like all that. It's such a weird one, right, 315 00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:04,680 Speaker 1: and it's like the combinations of different sounds, and I 316 00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:06,880 Speaker 1: just like, I'm never gonna be able to get that one. 317 00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:10,000 Speaker 1: And then one day I'm doing my laundry and I'm 318 00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:12,760 Speaker 1: hanging my shirts to dry because I I don't want 319 00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:16,160 Speaker 1: to shrink them, so I hang them and as I'm 320 00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:18,320 Speaker 1: doing that, I'm talking to them, because of course I am. 321 00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:21,400 Speaker 1: And uh. Then I realized that I'm talking to them 322 00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:24,640 Speaker 1: in a Johannesburg accent, and I was like, how did 323 00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:27,400 Speaker 1: this happen? I'm hanging the wash right now, what are 324 00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:29,680 Speaker 1: you doing up here? You missed their shirts? Look at 325 00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:31,520 Speaker 1: you hanging there like it? And I was like, what 326 00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:33,840 Speaker 1: the hell? So I went to session the next day 327 00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:36,720 Speaker 1: and we were in the in the booth and I 328 00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:40,000 Speaker 1: started to talk to everybody, luck lucky just all of 329 00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:42,720 Speaker 1: a sudden time of time to me from on or 330 00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:46,520 Speaker 1: something like it. And then Harrison, the producer, said, do 331 00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:49,000 Speaker 1: you do that accent? I said, I guess so. And 332 00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:51,720 Speaker 1: then you think asked me as Claw and Avengers, just 333 00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:56,960 Speaker 1: like all right, yeah, that is the joy of our 334 00:16:57,040 --> 00:17:00,320 Speaker 1: business is you sit there in the room and like 335 00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:03,560 Speaker 1: you said, everyone's not taking themselves very seriously, so you're 336 00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:06,480 Speaker 1: just messing around with each other, and these other accents 337 00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:09,400 Speaker 1: or voices or something pop out. And then a producer 338 00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:11,080 Speaker 1: in the room or a director goes that's perfect for 339 00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:13,480 Speaker 1: something else, and then you're on another job. Yeah, I 340 00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:15,800 Speaker 1: mean we we said so Kim Possible. When we were 341 00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:19,280 Speaker 1: doing Kim Possible. John DiMaggio, who was Dragon, was always 342 00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:22,720 Speaker 1: doing these big mr drack you know, dr dracking. She 343 00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:25,199 Speaker 1: got all this kind of stuff, and then he just 344 00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:28,000 Speaker 1: started doing this rock and roll gut out and the 345 00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:30,080 Speaker 1: next week they had written this guy named motor Ed 346 00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:33,600 Speaker 1: and that's the voice he did, And it was just 347 00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:35,919 Speaker 1: something they came up within the room. And it's just 348 00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:39,320 Speaker 1: that happens almost nowhere else in the industry, where you're 349 00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:41,560 Speaker 1: not in the middle of shooting a film and all 350 00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:44,119 Speaker 1: of a sudden you're like doing another character while you're 351 00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:46,120 Speaker 1: doing the film. They're like, hey, we're going to write 352 00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:49,000 Speaker 1: another film for you. I mean, that just never happens. 353 00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:52,640 Speaker 1: It only happens in in the voice over industry, where 354 00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:56,359 Speaker 1: it's just all creatively driven. Well, let me ask you 355 00:17:56,400 --> 00:17:59,600 Speaker 1: this as the actor like, and especially this is coming 356 00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:02,760 Speaker 1: from someone doesn't do fifty voices. But I definitely done 357 00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:07,320 Speaker 1: voice matching. I have a few dialects, but nothing like you, sir, 358 00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:13,440 Speaker 1: sir tror Um. But yes, I've certainly does it behoove 359 00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:17,280 Speaker 1: you as the actor to be playful and kind of 360 00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:22,199 Speaker 1: almost like showcase these aspects of your talent. Two producers 361 00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:24,480 Speaker 1: in the room and like kind of like you're saying, 362 00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:26,600 Speaker 1: like you walked in and you did that. This is 363 00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:28,520 Speaker 1: also for our fans in case they want to just 364 00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:33,240 Speaker 1: experiment in different ways. Yeah, I think that's crucial. Uh, 365 00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:36,320 Speaker 1: it's it's crucial to constantly have a sense of playfulness 366 00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:38,960 Speaker 1: about it. The trick is, of course, not pushing it 367 00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:44,120 Speaker 1: too far and become irritating. You know, it's a balanceance. 368 00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:47,960 Speaker 1: There are moments, and we've all been in these rooms 369 00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:51,680 Speaker 1: where there's that point where an actor has gone too 370 00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:54,520 Speaker 1: far and it's like, all right, we got it. You 371 00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:57,800 Speaker 1: can do this silly voice. We got it. Due payments 372 00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:00,800 Speaker 1: a mata gascar When I was that room, we've all 373 00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:02,960 Speaker 1: talked about at least the shaffer has talked about it. 374 00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:07,040 Speaker 1: Those guys are crazy.

So can you 412 00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:08,240 Speaker 1: tell us what it was like to to enter the 413 00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:10,880 Speaker 1: world of Star Wars, which apparently was a long time 414 00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:14,679 Speaker 1: ago in a galaxy far far away, if you believe 415 00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:19,400 Speaker 1: the propaganda. And yeah. So my first for a into 416 00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:21,639 Speaker 1: the Star Wars universe as a as a voice actor 417 00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:24,520 Speaker 1: was for Lego and it was a project when I 418 00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:27,040 Speaker 1: was still back in Vancouver called The Yoda Chronicles, which 419 00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:30,400 Speaker 1: was a series um that was kind of set in 420 00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:33,919 Speaker 1: the prequel era, but it was a comedy version of 421 00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:36,400 Speaker 1: it with all the Lego characters and they were casting 422 00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:39,000 Speaker 1: for you know how they'll they'll send outsides and it'll 423 00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:42,359 Speaker 1: you know, it's like this is you know, King Joe, 424 00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:44,800 Speaker 1: but we all know, okay, this is demperate Palpatine. We 425 00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:47,439 Speaker 1: hear exactly, yeah, like okay, so I'm hearing and you 426 00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:49,639 Speaker 1: hear the ref and you're like, okay, alright, I get it. 427 00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:53,720 Speaker 1: Code names this secret. So I did the auditions for 428 00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:56,119 Speaker 1: a bunch of them, Obi Wan and stuff like that. 429 00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:58,280 Speaker 1: Eventually they called and said, well, you're going to be 430 00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:00,359 Speaker 1: Emperor Palpatine. And I was like, oh wow, that that 431 00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:03,200 Speaker 1: that's kind of Mike and like the the eight year 432 00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:06,800 Speaker 1: old and me was going yeah. But we went into 433 00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:09,439 Speaker 1: session and I very quickly realized that this was the 434 00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:11,720 Speaker 1: comedy version. It was written by Michael Price, who was 435 00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:14,240 Speaker 1: a Simpsons writer, and it was gone on to become 436 00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:16,280 Speaker 1: one of my good friends. Actually, he's also the producer 437 00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:18,600 Speaker 1: of Effes for Family, which is a big show that 438 00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:21,280 Speaker 1: he brought me in on several years back with Bill 439 00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:23,840 Speaker 1: Burr and and but this is the first time I 440 00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:25,600 Speaker 1: met him. And he was a Simpsons writer and he 441 00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:27,800 Speaker 1: was also a massive Star Wars fan. And you could 442 00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:30,359 Speaker 1: tell because in the script there was all these little 443 00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:33,560 Speaker 1: easter eggs that only true fans would get, and I 444 00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:37,320 Speaker 1: recognized that immediately and went, oh, this guy knows his stuff. 445 00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:40,480 Speaker 1: This guy know the Star Wars. So when I started 446 00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:42,960 Speaker 1: coming in, you know, I remember the first day we 447 00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:45,479 Speaker 1: all came in, and you know, I was trying to 448 00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:51,880 Speaker 1: do the Palpatine seemed very siztle veda, right, but gradually 449 00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:54,320 Speaker 1: it turned into oh, eight a minute, this is basically 450 00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:59,199 Speaker 1: kind of playful, yes, okay, and then my Palpatine became 451 00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:06,160 Speaker 1: across between Mark Camell's Joker and Stuie Griffin little get 452 00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:10,320 Speaker 1: out of my face anyway, So he quickly became this 453 00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:14,680 Speaker 1: like total favorite, and the producers kept going, we need 454 00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:16,840 Speaker 1: to bring you back, and so they would write all 455 00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:19,159 Speaker 1: these specials where Palpatine would just show up and I'm like, 456 00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:23,000 Speaker 1: but he's like dead Dad, that's Cannon, that's like some 457 00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:27,119 Speaker 1: non Star Wars canon. So it was it was tremendous. 458 00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:29,520 Speaker 1: Man we did.

It was this weird, 496 00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:24,680 Speaker 1: obscure thing that you know, James Gunnen brought to life 497 00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:26,199 Speaker 1: because of the movie. But I remember when we were 498 00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:28,760 Speaker 1: recording the show, I was auditioning for the show. For 499 00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:33,320 Speaker 1: our show, the trailer came out shortly after my audition, 500 00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:35,320 Speaker 1: and my friend Sam he showed me this trailer and 501 00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:39,000 Speaker 1: I was like, oh, this is a deal that, Oh 502 00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:41,040 Speaker 1: my god, this is a look at this. This is 503 00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:43,080 Speaker 1: a real thing. And so when we started doing the 504 00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:45,959 Speaker 1: show and I realized that, you know, the Rocket Raccoon 505 00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:49,680 Speaker 1: was becoming this cultural phenomenon of the time. I thought, 506 00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:52,120 Speaker 1: this is this is a this is a pretty big 507 00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:53,960 Speaker 1: privilege to be in this room, and not only just 508 00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:55,560 Speaker 1: to be playing that character, but be in the room 509 00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:57,280 Speaker 1: with you guys as well. Obviously that was because that 510 00:25:57,359 --> 00:26:02,040 Speaker 1: was my first big group show in a Yeah. Yeah, 511 00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:03,480 Speaker 1: I mean I've done a bunch of stuff up to 512 00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:05,119 Speaker 1: that point, but that was the first time that I 513 00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:08,000 Speaker 1: really got a chance to like dive in with with 514 00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:09,920 Speaker 1: you folks. So there was a it was a big deal. 515 00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:11,840 Speaker 1: Well that was I mean, that was a fun cast. 516 00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:15,000 Speaker 1: Is there a different tone in working in animation in 517 00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:18,680 Speaker 1: Canada than there is in Hollywood? No, it's the same thing. 518 00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:22,280 Speaker 1: It's uh, it's people, Yeah, exact same. Do you think 519 00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:25,439 Speaker 1: that is? Well, Ray more polite in Canada, aren't they 520 00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:31,160 Speaker 1: that's the illusion? Uh? They they are the exact same 521 00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:33,320 Speaker 1: kind of people. You could put the Canadian voice actors 522 00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:36,040 Speaker 1: and the American voice actors in the room and the 523 00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:38,600 Speaker 1: same there there there. Like I said, they're people who 524 00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:41,600 Speaker 1: are really really good at their jobs, but they don't 525 00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:44,159 Speaker 1: take themselves particularly seriously. They take their work seriously, but 526 00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:48,159 Speaker 1: not themselves. So it's great, Yeah, totally man. And that's like, 527 00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:50,280 Speaker 1: that's why I never really got on with the the 528 00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:53,119 Speaker 1: on camera side of things. One of the reasons is 529 00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:54,720 Speaker 1: I never liked the world. The world to me was 530 00:26:54,720 --> 00:27:00,360 Speaker 1: always very judge and and and selfish and bath and 531 00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:04,760 Speaker 1: in vo It wasn't that at all. It was just empowering. 532 00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:08,320 Speaker 1: And it's also just so much more conducive to creativity. 533 00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:11,320 Speaker 1: That's the thing. I mean, the on camera world there's 534 00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:14,320 Speaker 1: times where it is, but it's rare. It's rare that 535 00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:16,479 Speaker 1: I mean, it's more you've got to be the actor, 536 00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:18,240 Speaker 1: and you've got and whereas you don't get to play, 537 00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:19,960 Speaker 1: you don't get to play nearly as much. And so 538 00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:22,320 Speaker 1: many creative things we talked about that have come out 539 00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:25,199 Speaker 1: of just to play that happens in the room. Uh, 540 00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:26,840 Speaker 1: that it does. It just takes it to an entirely 541 00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:39,840 Speaker 1: new level. So Trevor, forgive, forgive this question. But you 542 00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:43,080 Speaker 1: said there was a lot of time in between, you know, 543 00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:46,320 Speaker 1: you realizing that you enjoyed voices too, when you made 544 00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:49,480 Speaker 1: it a career. What were you doing in that time frame. 545 00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:52,800 Speaker 1: I was a theater guy for a long time and 546 00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:54,920 Speaker 1: I went to University of the University of Alberta, and 547 00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:57,679 Speaker 1: I became a theater director and that's how I became 548 00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:00,399 Speaker 1: a filmmaker as well. As I was moving very much 549 00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:02,359 Speaker 1: into the directing side of things. It was very successful. 550 00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:04,840 Speaker 1: Everything was going great, and like I said, when I 551 00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:07,440 Speaker 1: went to Vancouver ninety eight, it was to be to 552 00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:10,120 Speaker 1: work on the sets. I had friends that were, you know, uh, 553 00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:14,040 Speaker 1: production designers and stuff like that, and so I went thinking, 554 00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:15,320 Speaker 1: this is what I was gonna do, and I was 555 00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:18,760 Speaker 1: gonna work my way up through the director's guild and 556 00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:23,760 Speaker 1: do that whole thing. But when I got there, uh, 557 00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:25,280 Speaker 1: like I said, a friend of mine from back home 558 00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:26,919 Speaker 1: it said, you should, you should do voice work. And 559 00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:28,480 Speaker 1: I was like, I don't even I don't even know 560 00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:31,919 Speaker 1: what that means. So I I said to my agent, um, 561 00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:34,240 Speaker 1: you know, I do these voices and accents and stuff. 562 00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:37,080 Speaker 1: Is there is there anything we can do with that? 563 00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:39,600 Speaker 1: And he said, he gave me the speech that a 564 00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:41,400 Speaker 1: lot of a lot of agents give a lot of actors, 565 00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:44,640 Speaker 1: which is true. But you know, he said, well, you 566 00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:46,120 Speaker 1: know the thing about the voice world is that you 567 00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:48,200 Speaker 1: have to be you have to be extremely versatile. You 568 00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:49,600 Speaker 1: have to be the best in the world. You have 569 00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:51,520 Speaker 1: to be bah blah blah blah blah. And I'm like, okay, 570 00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:55,280 Speaker 1: well yeah, uh huh. So I went home back to 571 00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:57,400 Speaker 1: Abington for Christmas or something, and I knew guys that 572 00:28:57,440 --> 00:28:59,480 Speaker 1: worked at the campus radio station, and I thought I 573 00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:01,160 Speaker 1: gotta put to gather a demo. I didn't even know 574 00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:02,680 Speaker 1: what a demo was. I just thought, I'm just going 575 00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:04,880 Speaker 1: to a bunch of nonsense into a microphone and see 576 00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:07,000 Speaker 1: what happened. So I I go in there and my 577 00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:09,600 Speaker 1: my friend j Who's like, we'll get you in the booth, 578 00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:12,520 Speaker 1: you record wherever you want it to be good. I 579 00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:14,520 Speaker 1: went in there and I literally fifteen minutes of just 580 00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:17,880 Speaker 1: doing stuff, fifteen minutes long. No edits. Of course, why 581 00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:21,320 Speaker 1: would you edit? And so I brought this tape back 582 00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:22,640 Speaker 1: to my age and I was like, you mean like 583 00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:25,320 Speaker 1: this and you listened to it the whole thing, good 584 00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:30,240 Speaker 1: on good agent, and he said, well, it's a little long, 585 00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:33,480 Speaker 1: but he said, I think you might have what it takes. 586 00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:35,880 Speaker 1: And so he got me an audition for a show 587 00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:41,400 Speaker 1: called Spider Man, uh, for the role of Spider Man. 588 00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:46,440 Speaker 1: And I was so green. I never heard of it, 589 00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:48,600 Speaker 1: and I was so green I didn't know to put 590 00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:50,040 Speaker 1: the headphones in the booth so I could hear the 591 00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:52,239 Speaker 1: director on the other side. I knew nothing, and so 592 00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:54,680 Speaker 1: it was a disaster. But luckily a month after that, 593 00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:56,680 Speaker 1: I got an audition for this chow called The Lost Continent, 594 00:29:56,720 --> 00:29:58,240 Speaker 1: which I booked, and that was the one that we 595 00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:00,600 Speaker 1: did episode and three months and and I was off 596 00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:03,959 Speaker 1: the races. Your second audition, you booked a series regular. 597 00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:09,760 Speaker 1: That's amazing. Yeah, I was. I've been lucky man hey 598 00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:12,640 Speaker 1: side note, um, Trevor, I I got married in Bants. 599 00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:19,280 Speaker 1: Oh okay, that's my home province of field Love.

N I uh. 602 00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:30,920 Speaker 1: Side note, I I sometimes shop at albert sins Um, 603 00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:35,760 Speaker 1: so very very similar. Uh kind of stuff. Okay, So 604 00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:39,280 Speaker 1: I want to eventually get into your geekdom, your nerdom, 605 00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:41,320 Speaker 1: because that's one of the things you and I have 606 00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:43,560 Speaker 1: always bonded over. But before we do that, there's something 607 00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:46,360 Speaker 1: very interesting, because you have kind of an interesting perspective 608 00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:48,720 Speaker 1: that I'd like to talk to you about. Um, because 609 00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:51,360 Speaker 1: a lot of people that listen to our show are 610 00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:54,320 Speaker 1: you know, amateur or want to be that's the wrong 611 00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:56,080 Speaker 1: way to say it, but voice over actors, so they're 612 00:30:56,320 --> 00:30:58,880 Speaker 1: kind of looking for direction, and you know what they 613 00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:01,160 Speaker 1: can do in different things, they can learn in different techniques. 614 00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:03,640 Speaker 1: And one of the things that I'm we're trying to 615 00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:05,920 Speaker 1: impart to them is that you no longer need to 616 00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:08,560 Speaker 1: be in Los Angeles, or need to be in New York, 617 00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:10,560 Speaker 1: or need to be in one of the mecca as 618 00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:13,200 Speaker 1: a voiceover, and you do in the last couple of years. 619 00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:16,480 Speaker 1: I would argue, at the height of your voiceover career, 620 00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:19,680 Speaker 1: you up and moved out of Hollywood, and I'm wondering 621 00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:24,160 Speaker 1: how that has affected the work the record. I mean 622 00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:26,440 Speaker 1: just kind of basically your career. Has Has there been 623 00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:28,880 Speaker 1: any negative to saying, hey, you know what, I'm out 624 00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:33,360 Speaker 1: of Hollywood and I'm gonna go do my own thing. Uh, yes, 625 00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:36,760 Speaker 1: there has been a negative aspect of it, but it 626 00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:39,920 Speaker 1: doesn't have anything to do necessarily with the move out 627 00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:43,479 Speaker 1: of state. It was more the fact that when the 628 00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:47,360 Speaker 1: pandemic came and we were all suddenly relegated to our 629 00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:49,120 Speaker 1: home studios and a lot of people had to build 630 00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:52,040 Speaker 1: home studios. You know, luckily already had one so I was. 631 00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:55,120 Speaker 1: I was set for that. But what I what I 632 00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:58,560 Speaker 1: realized was that the thing I love the most about 633 00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:02,240 Speaker 1: the job was gone forever. Because what I love most 634 00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:05,719 Speaker 1: about the job is being in the room with my 635 00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:09,760 Speaker 1: fellow cast members and in between takes, those moments of 636 00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:12,880 Speaker 1: trying to make a joke so that you can't do 637 00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:15,240 Speaker 1: your next take because you're still laughing at the previous 638 00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:18,040 Speaker 1: joke that was that was my favorite. So that's how 639 00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:20,240 Speaker 1: unprofessional I am. My favorite part of the job is 640 00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:24,760 Speaker 1: screwing up the job for others. So but but I 641 00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:27,640 Speaker 1: realized that that really was that camaraderie, that that sense 642 00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:31,400 Speaker 1: of family which you really do have in our world, 643 00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:34,640 Speaker 1: that's gone. And will it ever come back. I don't know. 644 00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:36,400 Speaker 1: There's a lot of there's a lot of directors that 645 00:32:36,520 --> 00:32:38,960 Speaker 1: we both know very well who have suggested that, no, 646 00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:42,200 Speaker 1: it's not ever going to come back, because the diaspora 647 00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:46,080 Speaker 1: happened right where I looked around one and went, oh, 648 00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:49,040 Speaker 1: I'm like one of three voice actors left, and like 649 00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:53,040 Speaker 1: everybody just vanished. My own agent said to me too, 650 00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:54,959 Speaker 1: as well, it doesn't it doesn't matter where you live. Now. 651 00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:57,960 Speaker 1: The caveat to that is that it doesn't matter where 652 00:32:58,160 --> 00:33:03,120 Speaker 1: I live because I'm an established voice actor, right. I 653 00:33:03,160 --> 00:33:06,840 Speaker 1: honestly couldn't tell you if you were new and and 654 00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:09,120 Speaker 1: and starting out in this whether or not it behooves 655 00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:11,960 Speaker 1: you to live in the place. I suspect not anymore, 656 00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:15,680 Speaker 1: because everybody's so used to the remote records and certainly 657 00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:17,560 Speaker 1: the Romot remote auditions. I mean, that's been a thing 658 00:33:17,560 --> 00:33:19,640 Speaker 1: for a long time. There was a time when you 659 00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:21,720 Speaker 1: had to go into a studio to do an audition, 660 00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:23,280 Speaker 1: you know. That was the time when you saw a 661 00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:26,640 Speaker 1: lot of these other actors as well. But that's long gone. 662 00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:29,760 Speaker 1: So I don't know what the advantage is of someone 663 00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:31,440 Speaker 1: actually saying, well, you know, I should really move to 664 00:33:31,560 --> 00:33:35,000 Speaker 1: l A to get into the scene. You know, so 665 00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:37,080 Speaker 1: much of our world is about who you know, and 666 00:33:37,120 --> 00:33:40,760 Speaker 1: it's about your your your network, and your your contacts 667 00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:43,400 Speaker 1: and your friends and your colleagues. I think it would 668 00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:45,800 Speaker 1: be way harder to do that now that you're never 669 00:33:45,840 --> 00:33:49,080 Speaker 1: actually in the same physical location as a person, because 670 00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:52,400 Speaker 1: you don't get that human bond, right, So I think 671 00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:54,800 Speaker 1: it's gonna be harder for people to break in because 672 00:33:54,840 --> 00:33:57,720 Speaker 1: of that, um But it's also just the way it is, 673 00:33:57,960 --> 00:34:01,760 Speaker 1: so you know, I would say a embrace the fact 674 00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:04,200 Speaker 1: that this is the new technology, right, this is the 675 00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:09,160 Speaker 1: new way, and work within those work within those parameters 676 00:34:09,160 --> 00:34:12,120 Speaker 1: to try and maximize your chances, which just means always 677 00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:16,080 Speaker 1: make sure you're committing to the character, you're making interesting choices, 678 00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:21,480 Speaker 1: you're being consistent. You know all that actorly stuff, right, 679 00:34:21,560 --> 00:34:25,280 Speaker 1: that's so great actor stuff. You were good at taking 680 00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:27,879 Speaker 1: regular words and making them adverbs. You were always good 681 00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:33,200 Speaker 1: at that. No, I think that's really good advice. I 682 00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:35,759 Speaker 1: think that's true. Unfortunately too, I know that during the pandemic, 683 00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:38,839 Speaker 1: I still went into the studio every time, other than 684 00:34:38,880 --> 00:34:43,080 Speaker 1: the times I went to your studio I did. I 685 00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:46,400 Speaker 1: would go into the studio and just be by myself 686 00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:49,120 Speaker 1: because I still needed the vibe of the studio. But 687 00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:52,400 Speaker 1: it still wasn't the same. So I I'm still hoping 688 00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:54,879 Speaker 1: it's going to come back. But You're right, so many 689 00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:56,680 Speaker 1: people are so scattered to the wind that even if 690 00:34:56,719 --> 00:34:59,399 Speaker 1: does come back, what the cast that you're normally with 691 00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:01,319 Speaker 1: are still going to be in the room. Everybody else 692 00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:03,800 Speaker 1: is gone, right, And honestly, I think that's going to 693 00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:06,040 Speaker 1: be the future. I think it's gonna be a hybridization 694 00:35:06,320 --> 00:35:08,880 Speaker 1: of of sessions. You're going to have half the people 695 00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:10,640 Speaker 1: in the room, half the people remote, or have the 696 00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:12,880 Speaker 1: people just recording by themselves. So it's going to be 697 00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:15,400 Speaker 1: a much lonelier experience, I think than what it was, 698 00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:18,560 Speaker 1: which is a real shame. But it's just three years 699 00:35:18,560 --> 00:35:22,239 Speaker 1: of producers and technicians getting used to this setup, and 700 00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:24,840 Speaker 1: producers love it because they don't have to leave the house, 701 00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:28,120 Speaker 1: right and it's cheaper in the long run, the long run, 702 00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:31,440 Speaker 1: So the odds of us going back to the way 703 00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:33,480 Speaker 1: it was, because I was that was a big concern 704 00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:35,120 Speaker 1: of mine when I did move. I was like, well, 705 00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:36,880 Speaker 1: what if it what if it goes back? What if 706 00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:40,520 Speaker 1: it goes back? But I thought I'll be all right. 707 00:35:40,760 --> 00:35:42,319 Speaker 1: Let me ask you this. Do you think that you've 708 00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:47,279 Speaker 1: actually gotten better over the years by being like, did 709 00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:51,239 Speaker 1: you grow more as an a voice actor when you 710 00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:56,640 Speaker 1: were with other people? If for no other reason than 711 00:35:57,120 --> 00:35:59,960 Speaker 1: you can immediately steal their best stuff and and towards 712 00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:06,799 Speaker 1: into a new version. You're basically just doing Kevin Kevin 713 00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:09,680 Speaker 1: Michael Richardson over and over. Because but but I mean 714 00:36:09,719 --> 00:36:12,719 Speaker 1: you asked me if I was inspired by people? You know, 715 00:36:13,080 --> 00:36:15,360 Speaker 1: I have so many sort of stock characters that that 716 00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:18,040 Speaker 1: immediately come out now, which are just blatant ripoffs of 717 00:36:18,080 --> 00:36:20,360 Speaker 1: stuff I've seen my colleagues do, Like he have this 718 00:36:20,440 --> 00:36:23,800 Speaker 1: short old man ntch head dude, and that's a complete 719 00:36:23,840 --> 00:36:26,520 Speaker 1: rip off of my friend Brian Drummond's a very successful 720 00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:28,960 Speaker 1: vacouper voice actor who did that once, and I was like, 721 00:36:29,080 --> 00:36:33,759 Speaker 1: that's awesome. I need to make it mine. Now. Of 722 00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:36,080 Speaker 1: course it evolves into its own thing, so it doesn't 723 00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:38,040 Speaker 1: sound anything like his. But that's the beauty of it. 724 00:36:38,200 --> 00:36:40,640 Speaker 1: Right now we can boast to two old men and 725 00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:46,080 Speaker 1: we don't stand anything Ali anyway. Yes, theft is good, 726 00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:47,920 Speaker 1: is what I'm saying. By the way, you both live 727 00:36:47,960 --> 00:36:49,759 Speaker 1: like an hour from each other. You guys live like 728 00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:51,279 Speaker 1: an hour from each other. I think. So it's no 729 00:36:52,160 --> 00:36:55,239 Speaker 1: you guys, stop it. You're in Texas. Yeah, I'm in 730 00:36:55,280 --> 00:37:00,200 Speaker 1: San Antonio. Stop I'm in I'm in Austin. Oh. Oh, 731 00:37:00,280 --> 00:37:05,000 Speaker 1: I could see you. I'll tell you. I love down here. 732 00:37:05,160 --> 00:37:09,320 Speaker 1: I gotta say, man, it's great. Not that there's a 733 00:37:09,320 --> 00:37:11,319 Speaker 1: whole lot of people that extra sound like this. You 734 00:37:11,320 --> 00:37:13,319 Speaker 1: gotta you go, you gotta go hunting for him, but 735 00:37:13,360 --> 00:37:16,000 Speaker 1: they do exist. Every you gotta go, you gotta go 736 00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:19,000 Speaker 1: to West Texas or we gotta go Yeah, you gotta 737 00:37:19,040 --> 00:37:22,399 Speaker 1: go in the So Austin. Austin is an interesting place 738 00:37:22,440 --> 00:37:28,000 Speaker 1: to live. How how why did you pick here Canada? Well, again, 739 00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:30,640 Speaker 1: with the whole pandemic madness that was happening, there was 740 00:37:30,760 --> 00:37:34,640 Speaker 1: at one point there was the the choice to perhaps 741 00:37:34,680 --> 00:37:38,040 Speaker 1: go home, right, to go back to Canada, but I 742 00:37:38,120 --> 00:37:41,000 Speaker 1: just didn't think. I didn't think that was the right 743 00:37:41,080 --> 00:37:43,839 Speaker 1: choice because I wasn't done with the American experience yet. 744 00:37:43,960 --> 00:37:45,719 Speaker 1: And then I wind up getting my citizenship. So I 745 00:37:45,760 --> 00:37:47,279 Speaker 1: was like, well, now I can come and go as 746 00:37:47,280 --> 00:37:49,279 Speaker 1: I please. Because I had the Green card before, which 747 00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:50,880 Speaker 1: means you had to live in the country, but now 748 00:37:50,880 --> 00:37:53,000 Speaker 1: as the US citizen. Ironically, now I'm a citizen, I 749 00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:57,680 Speaker 1: can say goodbye if I want. So there was that thought, 750 00:37:57,719 --> 00:38:02,040 Speaker 1: but I just thought, uh, it wasn't viable for some reason. 751 00:38:02,080 --> 00:38:03,319 Speaker 1: So it was like, Okay, well, I gotta get into 752 00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:06,120 Speaker 1: California for again a number of reasons. But the three 753 00:38:06,120 --> 00:38:10,799 Speaker 1: states that were discussed were Texas, Tennessee, and Florida. I 754 00:38:10,840 --> 00:38:13,120 Speaker 1: had never been to Florida. I had never been to Tennessee, 755 00:38:13,239 --> 00:38:15,080 Speaker 1: but I had been to Texas and I have a 756 00:38:15,120 --> 00:38:18,319 Speaker 1: sister in Katie, which is West Houston, not very far 757 00:38:18,360 --> 00:38:20,920 Speaker 1: from here. Uh, and then we've have friends in Dallas. 758 00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:22,880 Speaker 1: I didn't want to go to Dallas because I just 759 00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:25,680 Speaker 1: don't like the big concrete jungle of Dallas. Yeah, it's 760 00:38:25,680 --> 00:38:29,560 Speaker 1: basically a right. And I didn't want to go to 761 00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:33,640 Speaker 1: Houston for much the same reason. And I didn't want 762 00:38:33,640 --> 00:38:36,000 Speaker 1: to go to Austin because Austin really is l A. 763 00:38:36,120 --> 00:38:42,600 Speaker 1: In many, many weeks, Austin is so l A. It's 764 00:38:42,640 --> 00:38:44,560 Speaker 1: it's all the l A list that I was seeking 765 00:38:44,600 --> 00:38:52,439 Speaker 1: to flee called out right now. Oh, Austin fun to visit, man, 766 00:38:52,600 --> 00:38:59,920 Speaker 1: I love going there for four hours and then stabbed 767 00:39:00,160 --> 00:39:02,640 Speaker 1: in the heart. San Antonio is beautiful, though, I'm excited 768 00:39:02,680 --> 00:39:04,799 Speaker 1: to come and visit. For sure. It's good. And you 769 00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:09,000 Speaker 1: know what, it's boring, and I love that so boring here, 770 00:39:09,120 --> 00:39:11,799 Speaker 1: it's great. People are just they don't do anything. They're 771 00:39:11,840 --> 00:39:14,200 Speaker 1: just sitting around being nice to each other, eating great 772 00:39:14,239 --> 00:39:18,040 Speaker 1: Mexican food. It's the best thing ever. Its sounds pretty marvelous. 773 00:39:21,080 --> 00:39:23,960 Speaker 1: Al Right. So I'm known as a bit of a nerd, 774 00:39:24,600 --> 00:39:26,920 Speaker 1: and I thought I was a nerd until I really 775 00:39:26,960 --> 00:39:29,439 Speaker 1: started talking to you. And then I realized, oh, man, 776 00:39:29,640 --> 00:39:33,560 Speaker 1: if if the nerd, if there was military ranks in nerd, um, 777 00:39:33,600 --> 00:39:36,920 Speaker 1: I was like maybe a lieutenant if I was an officer, 778 00:39:37,120 --> 00:39:40,560 Speaker 1: And sir, yes, sir, you were up there as as 779 00:39:40,600 --> 00:39:44,560 Speaker 1: an absolute colonel or a general. Um. When did you start? 780 00:39:45,200 --> 00:39:47,920 Speaker 1: You're well, first of all, it's you're mostly table top, correct, 781 00:39:49,200 --> 00:39:52,040 Speaker 1: And so when did you find your nerdom? Where did 782 00:39:52,040 --> 00:39:55,600 Speaker 1: you start your nerdom? And what's your favorite nerdom right now? Well, 783 00:39:55,360 --> 00:39:58,640 Speaker 1: I played my first game of Dungeons and Dragons when 784 00:39:58,640 --> 00:40:02,200 Speaker 1: I was seven years old, uh, with a friend down 785 00:40:02,200 --> 00:40:05,160 Speaker 1: the street, Jason Peters, and he introduced me to this world, 786 00:40:05,239 --> 00:40:09,360 Speaker 1: which I immediately just went because I was also a 787 00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:11,680 Speaker 1: huge Tolkien fan. You know, my sister read me The 788 00:40:11,719 --> 00:40:14,680 Speaker 1: Lord of the Rings every night to go to sleep 789 00:40:14,719 --> 00:40:16,759 Speaker 1: while I was very very young, so that we thought, 790 00:40:16,760 --> 00:40:19,200 Speaker 1: we thought about those books several times, we have, we have, 791 00:40:19,719 --> 00:40:21,960 Speaker 1: but but the D and D experience was just something 792 00:40:21,960 --> 00:40:25,719 Speaker 1: that immediately captured my imagination and I fell head over 793 00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:28,759 Speaker 1: hills in love with it, uh, And that just went 794 00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:32,160 Speaker 1: on and on and on. But in the eighties, when 795 00:40:32,200 --> 00:40:35,000 Speaker 1: I was going through high school and such, it was 796 00:40:35,040 --> 00:40:38,520 Speaker 1: not exactly cool. You didn't talk about it. In fact, 797 00:40:38,680 --> 00:40:41,040 Speaker 1: we never publicly discussed the game. We didn't even call 798 00:40:41,040 --> 00:40:43,000 Speaker 1: it dn D. We called it the game. It was 799 00:40:45,080 --> 00:40:47,279 Speaker 1: oh yeah, yeah, yeah. I remember. There was this one 800 00:40:47,320 --> 00:40:49,880 Speaker 1: moment where we had all got this group of girlfriends 801 00:40:49,920 --> 00:40:52,320 Speaker 1: all at roughly the same time, and we're all in 802 00:40:52,680 --> 00:40:57,279 Speaker 1: my friend Trevor ladoes uh basement and we're playing this game, 803 00:40:57,320 --> 00:40:59,279 Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, the girls all on mask 804 00:40:59,360 --> 00:41:02,200 Speaker 1: decide to do the poppin, the poppin Jerry they did 805 00:41:02,239 --> 00:41:04,480 Speaker 1: the Poppin and we're like, oh my god. And our 806 00:41:04,520 --> 00:41:07,080 Speaker 1: first thought wasn't hey, let's introduce his girls to this thing. 807 00:41:07,080 --> 00:41:09,440 Speaker 1: It was no coverless stuff, hid the stuff. We know that. 808 00:41:09,800 --> 00:41:13,200 Speaker 1: How about the game? Ridiculous? Right? And then cut to 809 00:41:13,320 --> 00:41:15,920 Speaker 1: like twenty years later, thirty years later, Well, now everybody 810 00:41:15,920 --> 00:41:17,520 Speaker 1: in their and their grandma was playing D and D. 811 00:41:17,600 --> 00:41:19,400 Speaker 1: And it's it's all what all the cool kids are doing? 812 00:41:19,440 --> 00:41:26,640 Speaker 1: And I'm like, no, you people have no idea. I did. 813 00:41:26,640 --> 00:41:28,480 Speaker 1: By the time I found D and D. It was 814 00:41:28,719 --> 00:41:31,880 Speaker 1: really really cool fantasy novels I found very early. In 815 00:41:31,880 --> 00:41:34,040 Speaker 1: comic books I found very early, but D and D 816 00:41:34,080 --> 00:41:36,920 Speaker 1: I didn't find until it was awesome. See, that's fascinating 817 00:41:36,960 --> 00:41:38,560 Speaker 1: to me that you were a big fantasy kid and 818 00:41:38,680 --> 00:41:41,680 Speaker 1: never somehow found the road to D and D because 819 00:41:41,840 --> 00:41:44,520 Speaker 1: and my brother played.

Yeah, no, it made no sense. 821 00:41:47,120 --> 00:41:50,880 Speaker 1: I painted minish slightly because it was you know, it 822 00:41:50,960 --> 00:41:56,920 Speaker 1: was a direct kind of correlation to the um uh 823 00:41:57,160 --> 00:42:00,120 Speaker 1: model cars that my brothers used to build, so the 824 00:42:00,400 --> 00:42:02,600 Speaker 1: tester paint like all that kind of stuff where it 825 00:42:02,680 --> 00:42:06,240 Speaker 1: was basically lead uh that kind of paint, that stuff. 826 00:42:06,680 --> 00:42:09,160 Speaker 1: I was into that stuff as a kid. Um But yeah, 827 00:42:09,320 --> 00:42:11,759 Speaker 1: never found dn D until much later, obviously, And then 828 00:42:11,800 --> 00:42:13,360 Speaker 1: you and I started talking about all this stuff, and 829 00:42:13,360 --> 00:42:15,960 Speaker 1: then you kind of introduced me to Warhammer and some 830 00:42:16,040 --> 00:42:20,279 Speaker 1: of the other really cool just systems that are out there. 831 00:42:20,760 --> 00:42:25,480 Speaker 1: But you're still, oh there are. So I have this 832 00:42:25,560 --> 00:42:27,640 Speaker 1: YouTube channel called Meet Myself and Dict, and I was 833 00:42:27,640 --> 00:42:29,759 Speaker 1: gonna get into one of one of the things I 834 00:42:29,840 --> 00:42:32,680 Speaker 1: do is this is this series called the Stages Library, 835 00:42:32,760 --> 00:42:36,040 Speaker 1: which is me talking about my experiences with the literally 836 00:42:36,200 --> 00:42:39,120 Speaker 1: hundreds of games I have in my library. Because D 837 00:42:39,239 --> 00:42:41,960 Speaker 1: n D is but the starter set, I'm afraid it's 838 00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:45,120 Speaker 1: it is but the introduction to a much wider world 839 00:42:45,440 --> 00:42:48,440 Speaker 1: and I and I really want people to understand that 840 00:42:48,480 --> 00:42:51,480 Speaker 1: there are so many options out there for them to 841 00:42:51,520 --> 00:42:55,120 Speaker 1: try all kinds of genres and styles and systems in 842 00:42:55,200 --> 00:42:58,120 Speaker 1: the whole bit. Because I have a big passion for it. 843 00:42:58,160 --> 00:43:03,120 Speaker 1: But then the big passion Dandy Boopling, what are you 844 00:43:03,120 --> 00:43:07,640 Speaker 1: playing right now? Uh? Like five different? I'm I'm running 845 00:43:07,640 --> 00:43:10,440 Speaker 1: a Vampire the Masquerade game with the guys in my 846 00:43:10,560 --> 00:43:15,319 Speaker 1: local group down here, which is awesome. Vampires and the 847 00:43:15,400 --> 00:43:19,200 Speaker 1: Masquerade prior to the Masquerade, Yes, where you play vampires 848 00:43:19,239 --> 00:43:22,560 Speaker 1: in a modern day setting, and it's awesome because it's 849 00:43:22,600 --> 00:43:25,320 Speaker 1: all about politics. It's basically you take and Rice and 850 00:43:25,360 --> 00:43:27,400 Speaker 1: Game of Thrones and match them together and that's what 851 00:43:27,480 --> 00:43:30,000 Speaker 1: you get. It's so and so this is this the 852 00:43:30,040 --> 00:43:32,520 Speaker 1: thing that's taking up most of your time right now? Well, 853 00:43:32,520 --> 00:43:35,040 Speaker 1: the channel, the Channel, because I'm doing I'm doing a 854 00:43:35,080 --> 00:43:36,640 Speaker 1: whole bunch of stuff in the Channel right now, Like 855 00:43:36,680 --> 00:43:38,200 Speaker 1: I said, to do the Stages Liberry. I have my 856 00:43:38,280 --> 00:43:40,600 Speaker 1: main show where I play all these characters. But so 857 00:43:40,680 --> 00:43:42,759 Speaker 1: so solo role playing is the thing that I got 858 00:43:42,800 --> 00:43:45,600 Speaker 1: into for the Channel, which was a total gimmick. I 859 00:43:45,680 --> 00:43:48,400 Speaker 1: was like, because will you and I were talking about, 860 00:43:48,480 --> 00:43:50,440 Speaker 1: you know, well, maybe we'll do like a critical role thing, 861 00:43:50,440 --> 00:43:52,080 Speaker 1: we'll get some you know, when we had sort of 862 00:43:52,200 --> 00:43:57,400 Speaker 1: several well, we we got pretty tried along, yeah, and 863 00:43:57,480 --> 00:43:59,680 Speaker 1: just scheduling and such didn't work. So finally I thought, 864 00:43:59,719 --> 00:44:01,640 Speaker 1: you know what, I think I'm just gonna do this myself. 865 00:44:01,640 --> 00:44:04,439 Speaker 1: I'm gonna play all the characters. And so I did, 866 00:44:04,600 --> 00:44:06,360 Speaker 1: and I started this thing, and all of a sudden, 867 00:44:06,360 --> 00:44:08,520 Speaker 1: out of the woodwork, these people on YouTube are going, yes, 868 00:44:08,600 --> 00:44:13,120 Speaker 1: I've been playing solo for some time now, there's no friends, 869 00:44:13,160 --> 00:44:15,799 Speaker 1: and I'm like, what, but no, this is just a joke. 870 00:44:16,320 --> 00:44:18,279 Speaker 1: What do you what? But it turns out there's this 871 00:44:18,360 --> 00:44:22,120 Speaker 1: huge community, and especially in the pandemic when you're now, 872 00:44:22,440 --> 00:44:24,399 Speaker 1: they couldn't go over to their friend's house to play, 873 00:44:24,440 --> 00:44:26,960 Speaker 1: so they and there's whole new systems where you just 874 00:44:27,120 --> 00:44:30,720 Speaker 1: you know, you played by yourself essentially. So I started 875 00:44:30,719 --> 00:44:33,120 Speaker 1: doing I did like I don't know, seventy episodes of 876 00:44:33,239 --> 00:44:36,520 Speaker 1: like three different seasons worth, all following the same characters. 877 00:44:37,239 --> 00:44:40,440 Speaker 1: And right now I'm doing this tabletop mini adventure game 878 00:44:40,520 --> 00:44:42,799 Speaker 1: called five par Secs from Home, which is a sci 879 00:44:42,840 --> 00:44:45,239 Speaker 1: fi you know, battle game, but with a lot of 880 00:44:45,400 --> 00:44:47,520 Speaker 1: campaign elements and role playing elements and stuff. So it's 881 00:44:47,520 --> 00:44:51,480 Speaker 1: it's super fun. It's super fun. That's so cool, man, 882 00:44:51,560 --> 00:44:54,880 Speaker 1: I miss that. What do you miss?
