Speaker 1: Hey, Christy, Hi, Will, how are you? I am amazingly awesome,
Speaker 1: but I hear you are a little under the weather today.
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter. We're moving forward with this contest no
Speaker 1: matter what. Is taken so long, and we're here and
Speaker 1: we are on around one. It's here, Christy, it's guys
Speaker 1: four thousands, okay, Like I also did make it. Will
Speaker 1: was cheering me on. I mean, we're here, We're excited.
Speaker 1: But honestly, the people that we have are just I
Speaker 1: feel so good about it, don't you, Will, I do.
Speaker 1: I'm amazed. We have thousands of entries. And here's the
Speaker 1: thing that I love. Any one of these sixteen could win. Truly.
Speaker 1: There was not a single person where I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: I don't know if that person could win, or that
Speaker 1: person's definitely going to win. It was that any one
Speaker 1: of these people could be signed, could step into a
Speaker 1: booth and could be a voiceover actor. Absolutely. I also
Speaker 1: think that the people can surprise you, you know, like
Speaker 1: I think sometimes when we think about us as voice actors,
Speaker 1: you send in a real and that's a lot of times.
Speaker 1: What these folks did was they sent us a reel
Speaker 1: of a bunch of different voices that they did, and
Speaker 1: it was it was very effective for us to see
Speaker 1: a sliver of their talent. But what we're doing on
Speaker 1: the contest is giving them an opportunity to really almost
Speaker 1: grow and through the challenges, you know, and really show
Speaker 1: their passion and interest and abilities. And the problem is everybody,
Speaker 1: So we're just going to jump ahead of this right now.
Speaker 1: We know we don't have a ton of time. That's
Speaker 1: the problem. We wish we could spend an episode with
Speaker 1: each one of these contestants, but we just can't. We've
Speaker 1: got to whittle it down and whittle it down. So
Speaker 1: we're going to play some fast games in the first
Speaker 1: round to get it to then the Elite eight, not
Speaker 1: to steal a phrase, um, and then when we start
Speaker 1: getting down to eight and down to four and down
Speaker 1: to two, we will be able to spend more time
Speaker 1: with them. But we're going to play some fast games
Speaker 1: today for our very first episode of the Super Awesome
Speaker 1: Contest to become the next Big White Actor. It's here,
Speaker 1: Super Awesome Contest to become the next Big Voice Actor.
Speaker 1: Let's do it, Christy, I love that. Oh, I'm so happy.
Speaker 1: So as everybody knows, we are going to jump into this.
Speaker 1: But every week, obviously Christy and I can't be the
Speaker 1: only ones picking who's going to move forward. That is
Speaker 1: not fair and that is not right, and that is
Speaker 1: also fun and uh it's also we're an even number,
Speaker 1: so we every week are going to be bringing on
Speaker 1: a very special guest. Some have been on the podcast,
Speaker 1: some have not been on the podcast, but some of
Speaker 1: the best voiceover actors in the world are going to
Speaker 1: help us run through these games. They're going to do
Speaker 1: a little bit of coaching to help the voiceover actors
Speaker 1: if maybe we want to get another take of something
Speaker 1: that they're doing and them, we're gonna pick, and we're
Speaker 1: gonna move on. And I'm so excited our voice, our

Speaker 1: So we're excited. That's amazing. We cannot wait. This is excited.
Speaker 1: I am so excited. Here we go. Everybody. Here is
Speaker 1: our first contestant ever in the Super Awesome contest to
Speaker 1: become the next big voiceover actor. Please help us. Welcome
Speaker 1: Dylan from Louisiana. Come on in, Dylan, O yay, Dylan, Hi,
Speaker 1: Dylan Day, let's see you. How are you. I'm doing
Speaker 1: just fine. How are you all? We're doing very well.
Speaker 1: Thank you. Congratulations on making it to the final sixteen
Speaker 1: out of thousands of entries, literally thousands of entries in
Speaker 1: the final sixteen, my friends, so congratulations, thank you so much. Goodnesscribtion, Wow,
Speaker 1: that's amazing. Congrats eg Daily of course she needs no introduction,
Speaker 1: and she will be our guest judge and mentor for
Speaker 1: the week, and we'll be helping you and your fellow
Speaker 1: contestant out. So, just very briefly, Dylan can tell us
Speaker 1: a little bit about how or why you want to
Speaker 1: become a voice actor, how you fell in love with it. Um, Okay, Well,
Speaker 1: I've been doing some voice acting stuff, mainly like indie
Speaker 1: stuff for about six years. But I kind of fell
Speaker 1: in love with this whole thing when I was fifteen,
Speaker 1: Like a lot of people like who I'm sure you know,
Speaker 1: start their journeys. I watched a lot of cartoons. I
Speaker 1: watched watched a lot of anime, played a lot of
Speaker 1: video games, and I was like, Wow, people do this
Speaker 1: for a job. I like to do that for a job. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I just I kinda I looked for as much as
Speaker 1: I could to try to improve that skill. I just
Speaker 1: kind of hung around theater from middle school to college
Speaker 1: and yeah, and I found out about online voice acting
Speaker 1: auditions and I just tried to give it a shot.
Speaker 1: That's phenomenal, And it's so important that you mentioned that
Speaker 1: not only were you just doing voices, but you were
Speaker 1: studying acting. You're hanging around theater you were doing what
Speaker 1: you because as we've always said, we're looking for actors
Speaker 1: who can do some voices, not people that can do
Speaker 1: voices that can act, which is two very different things.
Speaker 1: And you know, honestly, like I did this voiceover seminar,
Speaker 1: and one of the tools and tips that I put
Speaker 1: on there was because some people don't have the money
Speaker 1: to do all the classes and courses. But what I
Speaker 1: did say was, you can learn everything you need to
Speaker 1: just from your own house, your own laptop. You go on,
Speaker 1: you go on and you watch commercials on YouTube, or
Speaker 1: you watch television and you listen to the commercials and
Speaker 1: you listen to the voices, and you go on and
Speaker 1: you watch cartoons and you listen all the different characters.
Speaker 1: Pretty soon you can start identifying who's doing what voice, like, oh,
Speaker 1: that's Jim Cumming, so that's you, that's Tar Strong. So
Speaker 1: one of the things I always say is like, you
Speaker 1: can learn so much just from listening and watching TV.
Speaker 1: Like you did. You know, it's not always just a
Speaker 1: class you absorb. And then there's also a voice bank.
Speaker 1: You can go and listen all people's demos and see
Speaker 1: how their demos sounds. So you can really see like
Speaker 1: how many different voices each person has on a voice
Speaker 1: reel and what your competition is. So it's pretty powerful. Love,
Speaker 1: that's all. This is what we love, Dylan is everybody.
Speaker 1: We picked sixteen people, and Christy and I've been saying this,
Speaker 1: we picked sixteen people that we think could start working tomorrow.
Speaker 1: We don't know who's gonna in. Nobody's I know. I'm
Speaker 1: telling is I want that booth man? What is that
Speaker 1: your home? Like? What is this? This is a whisper
Speaker 1: room booth. I kind of like, you know, I can.
Speaker 1: I started off with a YETI blue mic, and I
Speaker 1: was like, I probably should invest in this. I actually
Speaker 1: want to, you know, make this a proper profession. So
Speaker 1: I went the whole nine yards. I got a I
Speaker 1: got a solid state logic, I got a annoyment. I
Speaker 1: got a whisper room booth. I'm trying to I'm trying
Speaker 1: my best to seem like a professional, like I know
Speaker 1: what I'm doing. Well, that's what can I tell you?
Speaker 1: Can I just let you in on something. That's all
Speaker 1: we all are ever doing is just pretending that we
Speaker 1: know what we're doing and moving day to day. That's
Speaker 1: all we got Dylan. So if you believe, if you
Speaker 1: believe that's what acting is, right exactly, we believe you believe.
Speaker 1: That's another way of saying that is fake it till
Speaker 1: you make it. That's just so thank you, Dylan. We're
Speaker 1: going to put you back in the waiting room right
Speaker 1: right now while we meet your fellow contestant, and then
Speaker 1: we're gonna bring you back out for a round one
Speaker 1: of the game. You got your lines right, got him?
Speaker 1: All right? Here we go. We're seeing a minute, Dylan. Thanks, wow,
Speaker 1: all right, so here we go. Contestant number two is

Speaker 1: Thank you. Oh yeah, thanks out of literally thousands literally
Speaker 1: faust Yeah, Like, it's so funny. My friend Live she's
Speaker 1: a big fan of Critical Role, and she ended up
Speaker 1: telling me about this, and after I heard about it
Speaker 1: from her, I was hearing about it everywhere. So it
Speaker 1: was crazy. That's just the scale and the popularity that
Speaker 1: this whole thing got it's I'm just so honored to
Speaker 1: be a part of it. So we well, we're excited
Speaker 1: to have you here. We really are. We we combed
Speaker 1: through everybody and they were for the record. For the
Speaker 1: people that did weren't weren't contacted to be in the
Speaker 1: final sixteen. Thank you so much for putting everything out there.
Speaker 1: You did amazing. We heard one after another and it
Speaker 1: was really difficult to pick. But Julia, here you are
Speaker 1: and well earned, well earned. Thank you. This is eg Daily,
Speaker 1: who is of course voice in the business. It's so crazy.
Speaker 1: I'm just two seconds ago i was hyping myself up
Speaker 1: listen to some music, and now I'm just in a
Speaker 1: zoom room with all of you guys. I'm just the
Speaker 1: cool Hi. It's so nice to me. Ready to work
Speaker 1: to go? Right? Oh yeah, ready, okay, So now question
Speaker 1: we just very briefly, can you tell us a little
Speaker 1: bit about why you love voice over and why this
Speaker 1: is what you want to do for a career. Yeah, sure, Well,
Speaker 1: I'll try to make this brief. When I was in
Speaker 1: high school, my best friend and I we were like
Speaker 1: in our school's band, and I always loved like voice,
Speaker 1: like performing with my voice, performing in general and her
Speaker 1: professor in college. She ended up being a TA four.
Speaker 1: He does commercial voice overwork on the side, so I
Speaker 1: did stop with him. He helped me so much, and
Speaker 1: I was started just doing it kind of part time,
Speaker 1: and I was on track to get my clinical psyche PhD.
Speaker 1: And I moved to Virginia to go do that, and
Speaker 1: I kind of realized for a few different reasons that
Speaker 1: it wasn't exactly what I wanted to do, and I
Speaker 1: was kind of like, well, I don't really know what
Speaker 1: I want to do. And I realized that one of
Speaker 1: the reasons too I wanted to do it was because
Speaker 1: I was just in a psychology program. I was interesting enough,
Speaker 1: and I kind of took a step back and was thinking,
Speaker 1: what do I want to do? Like what am I
Speaker 1: excited to do when I wake up every day? And
Speaker 1: I'm like, hey, this voiceover thing pretty cool? So that yeah,
Speaker 1: and I've been doing since September mostly full time, and
Speaker 1: here I am so so you know what they say,
Speaker 1: they say, don't make your b job your a job.
Speaker 1: You have to keep your A job your a job,
Speaker 1: and don't even have a bee job sometimes yeah, and
Speaker 1: so otherwise you'll you know, it's so easy to fall
Speaker 1: into it. A good job girl. Nice. Yeah. Plus, frankly,
Speaker 1: I think you know most of the voiceover actors I
Speaker 1: know myself included. We could always use a clinical psychioagrist,
Speaker 1: so it'll be perfect anyway. So thank you so much.
Speaker 1: So we're going to be jumping into our first game,
Speaker 1: which is called by the Numbers. You have the lines, right, Okay, great,
Speaker 1: So we're gonna put you back in the waiting room.
Speaker 1: We're gonna bring Dylan in because Dylan got here first,
Speaker 1: and we're going to run through a game with him.
Speaker 1: And then we're gonna run through a game with you,
Speaker 1: and we're gonna be bopping back and forth, and eg
Speaker 1: is gonna be helping you out, and we're gonna be
Speaker 1: just kind of, you know, doing this together. We're we're
Speaker 1: waiting through this together, Julia. So we'll we'll get there.
Speaker 1: But thank you so much and we'll see in a bit.
Speaker 1: Great sounds good, So yeah, thank you, all right, everybody,
Speaker 1: Before we bring in our first contestant, Dylan. Again, just
Speaker 1: a little bit about what we're going to be doing.
Speaker 1: We have comp with a game called by the Numbers,
Speaker 1: and what we have done is we've broken everything into
Speaker 1: a whole bunch of different categories, and the categories are size,
Speaker 1: what are you age? And a wacky attribute. And what's
Speaker 1: going to happen is just randomly, EG is going to
Speaker 1: pick a whole bunch of different numbers, and through those numbers,
Speaker 1: we are going to create a character. The contestants were
Speaker 1: sent two lines that we have written here at I
Speaker 1: hear voices, so they've been able to practice with the lines,
Speaker 1: but they have absolutely no idea the character that they
Speaker 1: have to create to actually do these lines. So we'll
Speaker 1: run through it once. EG or Christy or I will
Speaker 1: give them some notes, we will allow them to run
Speaker 1: through it again, and then we will pop to our
Speaker 1: other contestant who will do that. We're going to do
Speaker 1: that a couple times because they each have two lines,
Speaker 1: so we're going to see back and forth we go.
Speaker 1: It's going to be a fun, fun journey. So here
Speaker 1: is our first game ever. By the way, every level
Speaker 1: we get to when we go to the Elite eight,
Speaker 1: un of the Final four and then the Final two,
Speaker 1: of course, every the games are going to change as
Speaker 1: they go, and then when we get to the finals,
Speaker 1: you're going to need skills in every single game to
Speaker 1: finally win the super awesome contest to become the next
Speaker 1: big Voice actor. So if we want to bring our
Speaker 1: first guest back in, we bring Dylan in. Here we go, Dylan.
Speaker 1: So you got that first line there, right, I do.
Speaker 1: We are now going to create the character with which
Speaker 1: you have to say that line. So, Eg, if you
Speaker 1: could do me a favor, could you first pick a
Speaker 1: number between one and six Devin? Oh, sorry, one and six, four? Four?
Speaker 1: All right? Now, can you pick a number between one
Speaker 1: and twelve eleven? And now pick a number between one
Speaker 1: and seven two, And finally, if you can pick a
Speaker 1: number between one and eleven d three. Okay, Dylan, Oh
Speaker 1: my gosh, your first character. So we are going first.
Speaker 1: Your first category is size. EG picked four, so you
Speaker 1: are small. The second categories what are you? EG picked
Speaker 1: number eleven, so you are a murr person. You live underwater?
Speaker 1: Number the third categories age. She picked number two you
Speaker 1: are five years old. And the last attribute is just
Speaker 1: a wacky attribute. And she picked number three, so you
Speaker 1: are German. You are a five year old small German murmurers.
Speaker 1: No one said it was going to be easy, Dylan,
Speaker 1: and we are going to run and here's the thing
Speaker 1: you don't. You're not just gonna get one chance to
Speaker 1: do this. We'll give you a shot at it and
Speaker 1: then you know, eg, Christy and I will talk you
Speaker 1: through it a little bit, figure out maybe we can
Speaker 1: tweak it. You get to do it again, and then uh,
Speaker 1: well we'll go back and see what your content, your
Speaker 1: fellow contestant has to offer, and they will be they
Speaker 1: will buy the right, by the way, be picking a
Speaker 1: completely new character. Um, so here we go again. Remember
Speaker 1: you were a small five year old mer person who
Speaker 1: is German. And now if you could give us that
Speaker 1: first line at your pleasure, sir, well you'll see will
Speaker 1: be where alone. That was really good. That was good.
Speaker 1: My first note I would say, is you got to
Speaker 1: make sure we hear the dialogue though. Yeah, anybody else
Speaker 1: want to want to give notes? Yeah, yeah, because I
Speaker 1: see you go go oh yeah, I didn't. I liked
Speaker 1: his uh interpretation of the kind of I felt like
Speaker 1: he was underwaters. He's definitely a mirror person, so I
Speaker 1: really got that. And I also, yeah, I felt the
Speaker 1: young person. But yes, I just didn't hear the I
Speaker 1: didn't know what the dialogue was, and that's important. Yeah, Well,
Speaker 1: and accents always can pick people up, um and you know,
Speaker 1: and so sometimes I try to place a character when
Speaker 1: I get these, you know, directions for auditions, and I'll
Speaker 1: try to remember a character from a Bond movie or something,
Speaker 1: you know, to kind of locate in my mind that So,
Speaker 1: do you have a German voice in mind? Maybe I
Speaker 1: do have a German voice in mind. I coincidentally, I
Speaker 1: play some D and D with friends and I had
Speaker 1: to play a German character to try to kind of
Speaker 1: work with that. Yeah, so add a little more of
Speaker 1: that and just keep it small and young. And remember,
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, when you're doing any
Speaker 1: sort of animated series or a specially when you're doing
Speaker 1: something like ad copy, they're gonna want to make sure
Speaker 1: they can hear what they've written if you're especially if
Speaker 1: you're selling a product or something like that. So let's
Speaker 1: take do one more take. I love the Underwater. I
Speaker 1: thought that was that really sold and I thought the
Speaker 1: age was right too. It was a good it was
Speaker 1: a good tone for the age of the character. I
Speaker 1: would work a little bit more on just enunciating the
Speaker 1: words and make sure we can hear the dialogue. You
Speaker 1: go ahead, Take two, lever one believing in our factor
Speaker 1: will be about four hours Prosen on an alcohold of
Speaker 1: eight Fotben flying suit bart Riller, I didn't draw the flock.
Speaker 1: Hey wait, that was great. That was great. That was great.
Speaker 1: That was great. Great. You took all a lot of
Speaker 1: the notes. I would say three. That was the other thing,
Speaker 1: Dylan is you took the direction very well. So okay,
Speaker 1: that's round und one. Dylan, thank you so much. We're
Speaker 1: gonna put you back in the waiting room and go
Speaker 1: from there. Oh good, Dylan, good job. That was That
Speaker 1: was great. I can also see how this is going
Speaker 1: to be exceptionally difficult, and I can't wait to see
Speaker 1: the interpretations that people are having. It's going to be
Speaker 1: so much fun. I sure hope that there's a reddit
Speaker 1: page about these about these folks online. Please somebody create
Speaker 1: a Reddit page for I hear voices and uh man,
Speaker 1: I'm good for your favorite contestant, you know, because they
Speaker 1: deserved beloved. That was great. I mean that that was
Speaker 1: a lot. That was young, a lot German underwater mer
Speaker 1: person and the dialogue. It was really great, good, easy,
Speaker 1: And you know, I know there's fans out there going
Speaker 1: like you guys, try that you do it, and I'm
Speaker 1: sure I could do that as well as he just did. Honestly,
Speaker 1: I mean that was phenomenal. Um. Okay, So that's that's
Speaker 1: round one in the books. Let's bring in Julia from
Speaker 1: Virginia and create her character. Hey, Julia, how are you good?
Speaker 1: I'm just sitting in this zoom roll being like I
Speaker 1: cannot believe that that just happened. So I've to work mode.
Speaker 1: But I'm doing exactly Now it's time to work. Here
Speaker 1: we go. So the game, I think I told you
Speaker 1: it's going to be called by the numbers, and you
Speaker 1: have your lines of dialogue there, and now eg by
Speaker 1: picking random numbers is going to be creating the character
Speaker 1: with which you have to say the dialogue. So your
Speaker 1: four categories are size, what are you? Age, and a
Speaker 1: wacky attribute and they can get whacky and the ages
Speaker 1: can get weird. And we just saw from round one
Speaker 1: you never know what's going to happen, all right, So
Speaker 1: here we go, four Julia, EG a number between one
Speaker 1: and six, please five, And now a number between one
Speaker 1: and twelve, please two. And now a number between one
Speaker 1: and seven, please six. And finally, a number between one
Speaker 1: and eleven eight. Okay, So Julia, your character, your size,
Speaker 1: You are tiny, Okay, you are a cat. Okay, so far,
Speaker 1: so good. You are sixty years old, okay, and for
Speaker 1: your wacky attribute, you have been stuck in traffic for
Speaker 1: six hours six all right, okay, chat that's old and
Speaker 1: annoyed from being stuck in traffic. Well, I didn't say annoyed.
Speaker 1: I also didn't say annoyed. I just said stuck in traffic.
Speaker 1: Everybody reacts in traffic differently. So we're gonna have you
Speaker 1: read the first line we gave you there with that character,
Speaker 1: and then we're gonna all kind of critique it and
Speaker 1: give you some notes and give you a chance to
Speaker 1: do it again. Okay, all right, so here you go,
Speaker 1: take it away, Julia Action. Welcome aboard everyone. This is
Speaker 1: your captain speaking. Our flight today will be about four
Speaker 1: hours cursing at an altitude of eight feet. We'll be
Speaker 1: flying over most people, the blad earth, and the places
Speaker 1: where the aliens live. So sit back, we'll atax and
Speaker 1: enjoy the flune. That was good, clear read, I thought
Speaker 1: it was clear. I got um little. I felt little.
Speaker 1: I felt her version of what traffic was maybe just
Speaker 1: a little annoying, but without it, without it taking over,
Speaker 1: you were still giving your instructions and I could hear
Speaker 1: all your lines beautifully. I thought it was great. Would
Speaker 1: you would you have her do anything different? Eigium? It
Speaker 1: was little. It was in traffic, was the other notes?
Speaker 1: It was cat. She was a cat. Yeah, I too, cat.
Speaker 1: I would add a little bit more some kind of cat. Yeah,
Speaker 1: maybe a little like a purring or yeah, some sort
Speaker 1: of additives for a little bit of it. You can
Speaker 1: say a line like it's time torlex and right, you
Speaker 1: know whatever, I'll give it a try. That's a great
Speaker 1: no Christy anyway, so you said a little more cat.
Speaker 1: I agree. I love that. I thought. I just think
Speaker 1: that everything else, Yeah, that's it. Injects of fun in
Speaker 1: it and check the wacky. Yeah, I'm gonna try. But
Speaker 1: your tone is your tone is wonderful. The read was great,
Speaker 1: So the acting was good. Okay, um, which again is
Speaker 1: the most important thing. And yeah, I think maybe play
Speaker 1: with it a little bit um and find, you know,
Speaker 1: if you can find some of those moments that EG
Speaker 1: was talking about and to interject a little cat there,
Speaker 1: I think you would take it to the next level. Okay,
Speaker 1: all right, We'll try to put a little cat there
Speaker 1: is to you. And remember cats, cats can make different sounds.
Speaker 1: They can go, they do weird little other sounds too.
Speaker 1: That's not just purring, you know. Okay, all right, so
Speaker 1: here we go, Julia, take two at your pleasure. Okay,
Speaker 1: welcome aboard everyone. This is your captain speaking. Our flight
Speaker 1: today will be about four hours cruising it on an
Speaker 1: altitude of eight feet. We'll be flying over most of
Speaker 1: the flat earth and the places where the aliens live.
Speaker 1: So sit back, relax hands, and enjoy the flight. I
Speaker 1: was having trouble. No one were to put the cat
Speaker 1: sounds in, but sure, sure, no that makes sense. But no,
Speaker 1: that was good. We got two good takes and that
Speaker 1: was great. So if you'll give us a moment, and
Speaker 1: now we will come back for round two with your
Speaker 1: second line. We'll be building a whole new character. So
Speaker 1: it's going to be fun. Thank you very much. I
Speaker 1: love a tone of your voice. By the way. Good job.
Speaker 1: Oh man, So she's in the guest room right, yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know it's sad because I really wish that they
Speaker 1: could if they like when we're in the booth, we're
Speaker 1: always like, you know, give me one more, and we
Speaker 1: generally have time to like, just give somebody one more.
Speaker 1: Do you want to be doing that? If we can't.
Speaker 1: That's the thing is I think we're giving each the
Speaker 1: two takes. It's tough because we want to see a question.
Speaker 1: We also want to see. Yeah, you want to see
Speaker 1: them incorporating the little sound. She kind of lost some
Speaker 1: of the things in the second take she did. Yeah,
Speaker 1: she lost some of the irritation or the being in traffic,
Speaker 1: and she she lost some of the small small I thought.
Speaker 1: But I agree where I thought. Dylan actually incorporated what
Speaker 1: we said to the second take better than she did. Yeah. Okay,
Speaker 1: but hey, that's round one. We're going to see. Let's
Speaker 1: go to round two if we can. Dylan, come on back,
Speaker 1: all right, Dylan, Here we go round two, my friend,
Speaker 1: you've got your second line. Yes, I do, all right,
Speaker 1: e g once again, if you will please, a number
Speaker 1: between one and six two, now, a number between one
Speaker 1: and twelve, eleven, and now I take ten instead of
Speaker 1: I'm gonna allow that change. I'm gonna allow that change
Speaker 1: because he would have been a mer person. Again, a
Speaker 1: number between one and seven, five, and now, finally, a
Speaker 1: number between one and eleven five. Okay, So for your
Speaker 1: next character, Dylan, you are big. You are a big
Speaker 1: robot that is thirty years old that just won the lottery.
Speaker 1: Oh I think, so how to take of that? What
Speaker 1: you will, my friend, but line too at your pleasure.
Speaker 1: You are a big, big, thirty year old robot that
Speaker 1: just won the lottery. Anytime, I'd like a double triple
Speaker 1: ice top mokea grande ventidcap with oak phone whip cream
Speaker 1: and a straw to go, please, but I'll be drinking
Speaker 1: it here. I felt it, I felt I felt large,
Speaker 1: I felt I felt all of it. Yeah, that was excitement. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was excitement, but still just the monotonic. Great, that
Speaker 1: was great. Does anybody have any notes on that? No notes?
Speaker 1: E g. Yeah, I really felt like he captured all
Speaker 1: of it in that one. I don't disagree. I wouldn't
Speaker 1: you know, why don't we do one more take for you? Bigger,
Speaker 1: a little bit bigger. Yeah, And as we would say
Speaker 1: sometimes in the booth, uh, you know, when you've played
Speaker 1: and they think they've got it anyway, Dylan, they would say,
Speaker 1: this one's just for you, so go ahead. Every year.
Speaker 1: That sounds good. I'd like a double triple ice hot
Speaker 1: mokea grande vent decaf with oatmolk foam whip at a
Speaker 1: straw to go please, but I'll be drinking it here.
Speaker 1: Boom perfect, Thank you, Dylan. Than Round two is in
Speaker 1: the books. Oh, we'll be back with you in a second. Button. Wow.
Speaker 1: I thought that first take was great. It's great, and
Speaker 1: even the second it's very consistent. Creative, quick, quick, and creative.
Speaker 1: Right away. I agree one hundred percent. Okay, let's go
Speaker 1: back to Julia. Okay, all right, Julia, here we are
Speaker 1: round two. We are going to create a character for
Speaker 1: you one more time. You got your second line of dialogue. There,
Speaker 1: here we go eg one more time. Please a number
Speaker 1: between one and six four, and now a number between
Speaker 1: one and twelve nine, and now a number between one
Speaker 1: and seven four, and finally a number between one and
Speaker 1: eleven ten. Okay, just so, Julia, very interesting for your character.
Speaker 1: For your second line of dialogue. You are small. You
Speaker 1: are a small alien that is fifteen years old, and
Speaker 1: you're afraid of your own shadow. So again, a small
Speaker 1: alien fifteen years old, afraid of your own shadow. At
Speaker 1: your pleasure, Julie, anytime, right, it's call those lines. Look
Speaker 1: what I'd like a double triple I stuff hot Mocha
Speaker 1: brande BENI tacap with old milk foam whip and a
Speaker 1: straw war to go blis. But I'll be drinking it here.
Speaker 1: Good job, nice say. I was like trying to make
Speaker 1: those things together somewhere to the first one. Sure, no,
Speaker 1: of course, yeah, ag, do you have any any direction
Speaker 1: or notes? Um, I would just like to hear you do,
Speaker 1: or even a little smaller. But I liked. I liked
Speaker 1: how you added some fear and some afraid of your
Speaker 1: own shadow. I think the voice could even be a
Speaker 1: little bit more whispy, like uh, you know, like somebody news.
Speaker 1: Oh no, maybe I'll have a you know, a little
Speaker 1: bit a little more timid. But you can even add
Speaker 1: because your voice is so sweet, that little bit of
Speaker 1: a whispy tone, that fearful kind of like oh yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: a little more breathfree because you have that beautiful tiny tone,
Speaker 1: and yeah, just try that. Yeah, that's why I'd say
Speaker 1: the same thing. Just add another little aggor of fear
Speaker 1: as you as you're in there in ordering a cup
Speaker 1: of coffee, you just are this the first time you've
Speaker 1: you've been off your planet in your entire life and
Speaker 1: then out of the RV you lived in when you
Speaker 1: got here, so you are in public for the first
Speaker 1: time ever. What would that be like? Okay, is there
Speaker 1: anything about like the Aliens? Because I was like, I'll
Speaker 1: put in a blur up. I don't know, are good.
Speaker 1: I liked it. My suggestion is if these things feel motivated,
Speaker 1: so like in the middle of that sentence, if you
Speaker 1: get so worked up by being scared that a blurk
Speaker 1: comes out, so make it feel motivated. Okay, that's my suggestion.
Speaker 1: That makes sense. That makes sense. I'll give it another shot. Yeah,
Speaker 1: please take two at your pleasure. Um, I like a
Speaker 1: double triple. I used a hot Loca Grande David dentacut
Speaker 1: with oh mil what cleman and a straw to go please,
Speaker 1: but I'll be drinking it here. Okay, it was great, No,
Speaker 1: that was great. I thought you take all the direction
Speaker 1: really well. Yes, thanks, I like that take too, Thank
Speaker 1: you very much. Right back with you. Good job, bro,
Speaker 1: great job. Okay, I thought that. I thought she took
Speaker 1: the direction really well that time, better than she did
Speaker 1: the first time. Yeah, I thought she was missing a
Speaker 1: little bit of the breathy thing. But sometimes people can't
Speaker 1: grab that bit. But I still think she's taking the notes. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and she's just a little fearful. Yeah, because she's nervous.
Speaker 1: I think so too. And now um, we go to
Speaker 1: our special round three. All right, let's do it very quickly,
Speaker 1: and let's bring Dylan back in. Hey Dylan, Hi Dylan,
Speaker 1: how are you everybuddy? Oh we can't hear you, I muted.
Speaker 1: Oh there you go. Now you're good. Oh you're good.
Speaker 1: Oh no. So we are now moving on to our
Speaker 1: super secret round three, which you don't know about my friend,
Speaker 1: um and so our lovely producer Lorraine is going to
Speaker 1: share her scream with you and we are going to
Speaker 1: be throwing a line at you that you have not
Speaker 1: had a chance to rehearse or practice. Same thing as before.
Speaker 1: We're going to create a character for you. But this
Speaker 1: is a line that you need to see on your
Speaker 1: do on your own. Can you see it? Yes? I can? Okay, perfect,
Speaker 1: So here we go. So this is we're going to
Speaker 1: play one more round and this is one you have
Speaker 1: not have not practiced yet, So eg one more time
Speaker 1: for us, if you would please a number between one
Speaker 1: and six five, and now a number between one and
Speaker 1: twelve eleven? How did I pick the same one you did? Okay,
Speaker 1: let me change it? Even is a favorite number? Seven?
Speaker 1: Number seven? You got it? Number a number between one
Speaker 1: and seven, two, and finally a number between one and eleven? Ten?
Speaker 1: Did I do that one already? Again? You did what
Speaker 1: you did? A ten? Okay, then let's do Can I
Speaker 1: see eleven? I love there was between eleven? No? There
Speaker 1: you go. Okay, So for your final round, Dylan, you
Speaker 1: are tiny. You are a tiny flower that is five
Speaker 1: years old, but you're also an athletic coach. Okay, very conflicting, right, yes,
Speaker 1: so give us that third line at your pleasure, sir.
Speaker 1: Don't you just hate riding on elevators? No one says
Speaker 1: nothing to nobody? Am I right? Hello? And someone plush
Speaker 1: three for me. That's a great character. That is a
Speaker 1: great character. The only thing I'm missing is the he's
Speaker 1: the coach. Yeah, I'm missing a little bit of the
Speaker 1: like instructional coach in that little cute voice. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: I would make the voice a little tinier, like you
Speaker 1: can still be a conve right, like you could still
Speaker 1: be aggressive but small. Yeah. Imagine if Patton was a
Speaker 1: five year old flower? All right? Go full Chihuahua, gotcha
Speaker 1: go ahead anytime? Oh, I think you might. I think
Speaker 1: he blew out your mic, my friend, we didn't get
Speaker 1: we didn't get some of that. It was kind of
Speaker 1: it was kind of breaking down. I wonder why, Yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: let me try again. Yeah about us? So it's never
Speaker 1: battle Hello, that's straight unny. I think that was great.
Speaker 1: That was definitely better, definitely better. Yeah. Oh goodness, big choices,
Speaker 1: and you know that was that was really hard and
Speaker 1: it's crazy hard. And I love the variety of your voice,
Speaker 1: the fact that you can go low and deep and thick,
Speaker 1: and then you can go tiny and and a little
Speaker 1: reprimanding but tiny. I really felt that it's a good job.
Speaker 1: Thank you, Thank you so much, Dylan. I appreciate you coming.
Speaker 1: And we're gonna put you in the waiting room for
Speaker 1: a second. This is so hard, and again, most of
Speaker 1: I couldn't do a lot of these characters. But that's
Speaker 1: really not what we're looking for. We're not looking for
Speaker 1: the perfect five year old flower. We're seeing if they
Speaker 1: can take direction. We're seeing the tambur their voice, we're
Speaker 1: seeing well the judging criteria. Do we talk about the Okay,
Speaker 1: so the judging criteria is on clarity of speech, uniqueness
Speaker 1: of voice, volume, and expression. So we're looking for those
Speaker 1: things right equally, okay, right, right, but we're also looking
Speaker 1: for the acting the X factor. Can you take direction
Speaker 1: all the kind of things that are very very important. Um,
Speaker 1: that's you know, that's what you need. Yeah, you want
Speaker 1: to be able to turn on a dime. I mean,
Speaker 1: I've had jobs come where they were they would literally
Speaker 1: outdo it, and then they'd say, like, we want to
Speaker 1: take them a totally different body size, Like we want
Speaker 1: to make him instead of this little skinny kid a
Speaker 1: little bit fatter, chunky kid. So you know, the fact
Speaker 1: that they can switch it on a dime and not
Speaker 1: get too flustered is a big deal. Yeah, it's also
Speaker 1: I mean, how many times have we been in a
Speaker 1: booth where you're sitting next to another actor and your
Speaker 1: voice sounds similar enough to the person next to you
Speaker 1: that they say, hey, okay, you're now old and German exactly,
Speaker 1: you know, and you need to not get flustered, and
Speaker 1: you just turned the whole thing around. It's gonna go okay,
Speaker 1: let's figure it out and you work it out in
Speaker 1: the booth. So that's kind of the stuff we're looking for,
Speaker 1: because for the record, I don't think I could do
Speaker 1: a five year old coach 's a flower. That was
Speaker 1: that was really good. That was very good. And we
Speaker 1: are going back one more time to Julia for our
Speaker 1: last round. Pick. Here we go, Hi, Julia Hire. You
Speaker 1: are you good? You're good? Yeah, I just like you
Speaker 1: kind of stoodn't here and waiting like, okay, let's see,
Speaker 1: let's see what it's going to be when yeah, yes,
Speaker 1: I know, but you're doing great, you really are. That's
Speaker 1: actually what it feels like when you're in the studio
Speaker 1: and they you can't hear anything in the booth and
Speaker 1: they're deciding and talking about different directions in there outside
Speaker 1: of the glass. Sometimes not so yeah, when you're working
Speaker 1: from home now, you don't see anything. You're just put
Speaker 1: in a waiting room. Yeah. Yeah, So you're doing great though,
Speaker 1: And we've got one more little twist we want to
Speaker 1: throw at you. Okay, So we have a third line
Speaker 1: that we're sending you right now that you have not
Speaker 1: had a chance to practice with. So because as Eg
Speaker 1: was just saying, when when you were in the waiting room,
Speaker 1: you never know what they're what were What were you saying, eg,
Speaker 1: I was saying. Um. Sometimes you could be in the
Speaker 1: booth and you get a character that they give you
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden they realize that you and
Speaker 1: the person next you sound very similar. So they might
Speaker 1: all of a sudden change the game on you and say, actually,
Speaker 1: you guys sound too similar. We want to lower your voice,
Speaker 1: we want to raise your voice higher. So there's a
Speaker 1: difference between the characters. So it's good to be ready
Speaker 1: for any kind of shift that might happen at the
Speaker 1: spur of the moment and not let it throw you,
Speaker 1: will you just dive in and jump into another one. Yeah,
Speaker 1: So we're gonna our wonderful producer Lorraine is going to
Speaker 1: send you a line right now. It's not long, don't worry.
Speaker 1: But we are then going to pick a third character
Speaker 1: for you for the final round here and we're going
Speaker 1: to go one more time. So I Lorraine, if you
Speaker 1: would please, that'd be great. Albeams Okay, yeah, I see it. Okay,
Speaker 1: So while you're studying that a little bit, EG, if
Speaker 1: you would one more time for me, please a number
Speaker 1: between one and six six, and now a number between
Speaker 1: one and twelve seven, and now a number between one
Speaker 1: and seven seven, and now a number between one and
Speaker 1: eleven nine. Okay, So for your new line here, Julia,
Speaker 1: you are a microscopic flower. You are ninety five years old,
Speaker 1: and you're shocked. Shocked. Oh man, Julia, Yeah, he voices today.
Speaker 1: It is we are we are just we. It's the
Speaker 1: luck of the draw. We never know we're gonna get.
Speaker 1: And that's the fun is you just get to play
Speaker 1: and throw at you and keep you on your toes.
Speaker 1: So again, you are a microscopic flower that is ninety
Speaker 1: five years old, that is shocked. Okay at your pleasure,
Speaker 1: no funny. Hello, So I'm touch straight for me. Unfortunately
Speaker 1: I only heard the end. I think you were we
Speaker 1: blowing out the mic? Is that what was happening? Oh
Speaker 1: maybe I think something about the timber or the tone
Speaker 1: up high. It happened to the other guy as well,
Speaker 1: So it's not you. It happens. It happens sometimes. So
Speaker 1: maybe tip. I'm wondering if you tip your head a
Speaker 1: little bit, your mouth a little bit away from the
Speaker 1: mic and see if that makes it better. But your
Speaker 1: approach was great. We just couldn't hear someone because it
Speaker 1: was like it was breaking up. Yeah, try playing playing
Speaker 1: off the mic a little bit and let's see if
Speaker 1: that works a little better. Sure, I turned to sway
Speaker 1: a bit. Yeah, try that, go ahead. Oh oh dear,
Speaker 1: don't you just page riding on Alma bags is? Sorry?
Speaker 1: Does it sound okay so far? Yeah? Yeah? Perfect? Perfect?
Speaker 1: No any cheer? Hello? Someone push you? Okay? I went through,
Speaker 1: so it did. Unfortunately it was crackling in the middle there.
Speaker 1: I'm wondering um again, it's there's something about the pitch
Speaker 1: I think is what is what is doing it? Because
Speaker 1: it was technical? Maybe why don't we try doing it
Speaker 1: one more time? Did you walk back? Yeah, and maybe
Speaker 1: step back a little and eg, do you have any
Speaker 1: any suggestions? I think yeah, just don't go directly to Mike.
Speaker 1: Just turn your head a little bit it and articulate.
Speaker 1: Maybe if you do a little articulation. But I like
Speaker 1: your little accent you're doing because it's adding the age
Speaker 1: to it. So they're definitely shocked. Yeah, okay, try it
Speaker 1: again and just tip your head your mouth not so
Speaker 1: the Yeah, playoff of the mic and I think back
Speaker 1: there a little bit. Let's give it another try and
Speaker 1: go ahead. Okay, Oh howdy about hello? There's someone pushed
Speaker 1: the ring for me? Was it getting it? Was? It
Speaker 1: was better? It was better. I think it's just for
Speaker 1: some reason the the is it that the volume or
Speaker 1: the pitch that you're picking is your microphone is having
Speaker 1: a little bit of trouble picking most of it. It's
Speaker 1: a very interesting thing. Yeah, I wonder what that is usual? Sorry?
Speaker 1: Did it? What if she what if she tried to
Speaker 1: do it hushed instead of yelling it. I think that's
Speaker 1: a great idea. Give that a try, give that a track.
Speaker 1: You want to make sure that we get we get
Speaker 1: it in there. We want everyone to hear it, ourselves included.
Speaker 1: So maybe give it another one now of course, of course, Okay,
Speaker 1: don't you just hate riding on? You know what? It
Speaker 1: says nothing to nobody? Am I right? Hello? Can someone
Speaker 1: plush th me for me? Like? That was perfectly perfect?
Speaker 1: That was also good direction taking the job. Yeah, a
Speaker 1: great direction taking. Nice work, Julia, Thank you so much
Speaker 1: and we'll be with you in a second. She was.
Speaker 1: I feel bad because I think the first character with
Speaker 1: with a you know, a better microphone set up, probably
Speaker 1: that loud would would have would have shown shot, would
Speaker 1: have read shocked a little more than what she actually did.
Speaker 1: But it's funny because it happened to his too, and
Speaker 1: he's got a pretty good setup. So I'm not sure
Speaker 1: exactly what that is because usually your Mike should be
Speaker 1: able to handle all that because we're doing different characters,
Speaker 1: so it's very interesting. Maybe it's zoom, Maybe it's the zoom. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it might just be the zoom. Um. Again, I thought
Speaker 1: she was great. Okay, it's time to deliberate. E G.
Speaker 1: What do you think if if you had to, if
Speaker 1: one of these people you wanted to put them forward
Speaker 1: to become your future colleague, who do you think had
Speaker 1: I feel like Dylan doesn't have like that nervous thing
Speaker 1: that happens. He literally just jumps in and he's very confident,
Speaker 1: and I feel like he's very his ability to move,
Speaker 1: change the voice. I feel like a lot of the
Speaker 1: voices in our girl was very kind of very similar,
Speaker 1: but again the age were a little bit similar. Um,
Speaker 1: And I do like her tone, but I think the
Speaker 1: variety in Dylan is clear, and also his ability to
Speaker 1: take direction and flip it and um, it's fascinating. He's
Speaker 1: he's really quite skilled that guy. And she's really good too.
Speaker 1: I just feel that she has a little more fear. Understandably,
Speaker 1: she's maybe a little more green, and he's been really
Speaker 1: tackling and harder. It feels like to me. Yeah, I guess,
Speaker 1: I guess that's very fair assessment. Um. I think she
Speaker 1: has what it takes terms of like once that you
Speaker 1: can't There's two things that I would say, A tone
Speaker 1: super important. You can't really some people just don't have it,
Speaker 1: or if they do, or if they do have it,
Speaker 1: I feel like they can they can jump to the
Speaker 1: feeble line faster, right, Yeah, you need that. But then
Speaker 1: but then yeah, like you're talking about making bold choices,
Speaker 1: being comfortable in the booth extremes. Yeah, hey everyone, Oh
Speaker 1: well that's not such a great idea. But I don't
Speaker 1: really like that very much. I don't care what you like.
Speaker 1: Go sit down a little girl, you know, jumping and extremes.
Speaker 1: That's you need to be able to do that and
Speaker 1: confident enough in your abilities to where you just you
Speaker 1: just throw it down when you have to. Yeah, you
Speaker 1: don't think I would. I would think if she keeps
Speaker 1: going to some voice acting classes and focuses on making
Speaker 1: bolder choices, that she can get there for sure. One
Speaker 1: hundred percent. Yeah, and I think she can do the
Speaker 1: different tones because she has a little bit lower speaking
Speaker 1: tone too. She does, so yeah, I agree to Okay.
Speaker 1: The first person to be moving on to the Elite
Speaker 1: eight in this super awesome contest to become the next
Speaker 1: big voice actor is Dylan from Louisiana. Congratulations, Hey, I
Speaker 1: love Julia. She's great again. We're I'm so so excited
Speaker 1: with the sixteen that we picked. And there there's you know,
Speaker 1: as my mom would say back in the day, there's
Speaker 1: not a stinker in the bunch. I mean, she she's
Speaker 1: great and she's a good actress too. Actress please, I
Speaker 1: just think he's a cut above um. So then why
Speaker 1: don't we bring her back in and let her know
Speaker 1: how awesome she is? But let her know that unfortunate
Speaker 1: she won't be more. I know this is terrible. You
Speaker 1: want me to say something? Sure? I okay, Julia. We
Speaker 1: all think you're really talented. You have a really great
Speaker 1: tone in your voice. I think for cartoons and animation,
Speaker 1: it's fantastic. We're thinking the other person might be might
Speaker 1: have won this particular competition here just because his um
Speaker 1: flipping from one thing to another was a little bit.
Speaker 1: There was a little bit more contrast, and he just
Speaker 1: dove in a little bit more, which is a good
Speaker 1: note for you to just be a little more fearless.
Speaker 1: It's there's no mistakes. You can jump in and make
Speaker 1: me crazy, and that's actually a good thing. But your tones,
Speaker 1: you're acting, your acting chops are really good. Your quality
Speaker 1: in your voice is really good. Like you can do
Speaker 1: cartoons right now, just in this competition. He won that
Speaker 1: particular round. But we want to encourage you to keep
Speaker 1: working on your variety, your contrast, Like you want to
Speaker 1: be able to switch it from like a tiny little
Speaker 1: voice to a really big low kind of or whatever,
Speaker 1: those contrasts, and you have that in your voice. We
Speaker 1: can hear it. Yeah you did, you really did great.
Speaker 1: And again we've been saying this from the beginning. All
Speaker 1: sixteen of you that made it to this round, all
Speaker 1: of you could easily do this as a profession. Really
Speaker 1: that's not a problem at all. You've got the acting,
Speaker 1: which is the most important thing, really is the most
Speaker 1: important thing, and you do you have a great tone.
Speaker 1: So I please keep going because this really this isn't
Speaker 1: again any one of you sixteen could be signed. I
Speaker 1: really believe that, and I really believe that you will.
Speaker 1: You can make it in this business because your tone
Speaker 1: is phenomenal, and especially the ad reads and the kind
Speaker 1: of the younger, younger girl voice. I really never go away.
Speaker 1: I mean everybody wants that all the time. So I
Speaker 1: think you're going to do great. I really do. Thank you.
Speaker 1: Thank you also, congratulations for making a past thousands of people. Thousands. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I know, thank you so much. So you're doing great,
Speaker 1: and please please please stick with it because yeah, you could.
Speaker 1: You could do very well in this business. And a
Speaker 1: lot of people are gonna be hearing this podcast, so
Speaker 1: you never know if you know, you get a call
Speaker 1: from an agent or send it to an agent, but yeah,
Speaker 1: you could this this could be a good thing for you. Yeah, honestly,
Speaker 1: don't think this is going to be your last opportunity
Speaker 1: to break into the business. If it's what you really want,
Speaker 1: you just keep keep plowing forward. Yeah, awesome, Thank you,
Speaker 1: Thank you, Julie, thank you for joining us. Bye bye bye,
Speaker 1: Juliet Rye. Oh that part's gonna suck. Now let's have
Speaker 1: a little fun with Dylan. Oh, this is gonna be fun, sweating,
Speaker 1: say kid, Let's bring Dylan in Hey, Hi, Dylan, hey man,
Speaker 1: can you hear us again? There we go? There, ah,
Speaker 1: there we go. Okay, So okay, um, you were great.
Speaker 1: We really we really loved having you on. Um. We
Speaker 1: think you've got a good possibility of doing this in
Speaker 1: the future. Unfortunately, your microphone kept kind of cutting out,
Speaker 1: which really led us to believe I'm kidding. Congratulations, you're
Speaker 1: moving on to the next round. Dylan, Hey, you did great. Listen.
Speaker 1: Your ability to take notes as fantastic, Your acting is fantastic,
Speaker 1: your setup is really great. You are really ready to go.
Speaker 1: Your competitor, your your your studio, everything is very competitive,
Speaker 1: and I just think that you don't overthink and you
Speaker 1: just dive in is one of your strongest suits. So
Speaker 1: really well done. Your contrast of voices is great. You

Speaker 1: don't give up sorry, it always feels like, oh, it's okay,

Speaker 1: the future. I think so too. I'm taking notes from eg.
Speaker 1: I just you know, I only know because I've been
Speaker 1: on those kind of shows where you're like, they say
Speaker 1: keep trying, you know you're gonna and it always feels
Speaker 1: so pathetic, like I hated it. But not anymore. I
Speaker 1: don't do that anymore, but when I was younger, when
Speaker 1: people say that, but it's just a good thing because
