Speaker 1: Hey, everybody, how are you doing? We have an amazing
Speaker 1: episode of I Hear Voices today. I am very excited
Speaker 1: for a number of reasons. But first a thing that
Speaker 1: I'm bummed about. I am bummed that I am flying
Speaker 1: solo today. My friend, co host and partner in crime
Speaker 1: is a very very busy woman always, but especially these
Speaker 1: days with having the kids and her podcasts and everything
Speaker 1: else she has to do.
Speaker 2: And she actually got trapped flying somewhere. So I am
Speaker 2: flying solo. So there you go.
Speaker 1: I had two flyings in a row. We'd like to
Speaker 1: use the word flying as often as we can. So
Speaker 1: that's the bummed part. The good part, the great part
Speaker 1: is the episodes that are the episode that we're going
Speaker 1: to be recording for you today, because not only are
Speaker 1: we going to be finalizing the finals.
Speaker 3: So this is why I'm seeing a theme for today.
Speaker 1: I am just going to be saying the same word
Speaker 1: over and over, hoping it means different things, finalizing the
Speaker 1: finals and flying to fly, But we are. We are
Speaker 1: locking in our final two to finish the super awesome
Speaker 1: contest to become the next big voiceover actor. I can't
Speaker 1: believe we're here after all this time, it's unbelievable. If
Speaker 1: the amount I know, we keep saying the number you know,
Speaker 1: over four thousand, close to forty five hundred. But until
Speaker 1: you see that in your inbox, and until you know
Speaker 1: that they're all up to two minute auditions that we
Speaker 1: listen to every single one, the sheer volume of entries
Speaker 1: we got was truly spectacular, slash overwhelming, slash amazing.
Speaker 2: It really was. It was great.
Speaker 1: But here we are three left, and after today we
Speaker 1: will be down to the final two. Before I announced
Speaker 1: who's going to be joining us as our guest adjudicator today,
Speaker 1: I do like to give my customary shout outs to
Speaker 1: everybody who made this contest possible, and there is a
Speaker 1: long list of people that made this possible. First and
Speaker 1: foremost of course our friends over there at Prime Video
Speaker 1: who helped make the contest possible, and of course our
Speaker 1: friends who we work with all the time at Critical
Speaker 1: Role Goal. Checkout season two of The Legend of ox Maketing,
Speaker 1: which is available for download now.
Speaker 2: It is a phenomenal show.
Speaker 1: And I always say it's not because I'm on it,
Speaker 1: but let's be honest, after all this time together, folks,
Speaker 1: it's because of me.
Speaker 2: It's really not. It's because of the rest of the
Speaker 2: cast that I just get to play. But I love
Speaker 2: to be able to say that.
Speaker 1: We'd also like to thank our friends, my friends, the
Speaker 1: most amazing voiceover agency on the planet is CESD, who,
Speaker 1: of course, it's like the grand prize, our winner who
Speaker 1: we're going to find out who very soon, you know,
Speaker 1: the next week or two is going to get a
Speaker 1: one year contract with CESD to really get to go
Speaker 1: and start their voiceover career again. Anybody who has been
Speaker 1: following this podcast from the beginning knows that any time
Speaker 1: we mention this to anybody in the know, their mouth
Speaker 1: drop open. And it is a phenomenal gift that we
Speaker 1: are so excited to be able to give out. And
Speaker 1: we're only able to do that because of the people
Speaker 1: over there at CESD, and then, finally, last, but certainly
Speaker 1: not least, because we love them so much. Our parent
Speaker 1: company over here at iHeart, who really made the entire
Speaker 1: thing possible. When we went to them and said, hey,
Speaker 1: we'd love to do this, they said, let's do it,
Speaker 1: and they gave us everything we could to make it happen.
Speaker 1: So Christy and I cannot thank iHeart enough for doing
Speaker 1: all of that for us. Now that being said, here
Speaker 1: we are the Final Four, the final episode of the
Speaker 1: Final Four, and we have one person in the finals already.
Speaker 1: Everybody who listened last week know that Hannahbama once again
Speaker 1: moved forward.
Speaker 3: It is getting tougher and tougher and tougher.
Speaker 1: And this week we have Haley from Texas and Mia
Speaker 1: from Florida who are going to be vying to see
Speaker 1: who joins Hannabama in the finals. It's getting harder and
Speaker 1: harder every single week. We are now nitpicking these voice
Speaker 1: actors to see who is going to move forward. But
Speaker 1: nobody is going to be able to help more than
Speaker 1: our guest judge adjudicator, as Christy likes to say, who
Speaker 1: we have with us this week. She is not only
Speaker 1: one of my oldest and dearest friends, but is arguably,
Speaker 1: and this is not hyperbole, one of, if not the
Speaker 1: greatest voiceover director in history.
Speaker 2: Again not an exaggeration. Her credits are thirty one years long.
Speaker 2: We're talking.
Speaker 1: We're starting at Hanna, Barbara with Duck Tails, Chippendale Rescue Rangers,
Speaker 1: Tiny Toon Adventures, Batman, the animated series, another little show
Speaker 1: called Batman Beyond twenty three direct videos Emmy's galore. They're
Speaker 1: all over her house dressed in Barbie clothes. That is
Speaker 1: not an exaggeration, and it's not it's unbelievable. And I
Speaker 1: called and I said, can you please please come and
Speaker 1: help us solidify the finals, And because she is the
Speaker 1: most amazing person in the world, she agreed to do
Speaker 1: just that. So everybody out there today, we are privileged
Speaker 1: to have with us.
Speaker 2: Andrea Romano, I'm here, yea.
Speaker 4: Hi, Darle, how are you good. I'm all the happier
Speaker 4: to see you now and later this week too, which
Speaker 4: makes me positively thrilled.
Speaker 2: I am so excited too.
Speaker 1: Yes, you're going to be judging for us today, helping
Speaker 1: us judge today, and then we just get to hang.
Speaker 2: Out on Wednesday, which will be love that. I'm so excited.
Speaker 1: So before we jump into our contest today, I was
Speaker 1: just talking a little bit about your career, which is ridiculous,
Speaker 1: thirty one years you've been in the industry. And if
Speaker 1: you don't mind, I so anytime I see your name
Speaker 1: coming up in the credits, I obviously get very excited.
Speaker 3: And I haven't been able to see that for a while.
Speaker 1: And then a new animated movie came out not too
Speaker 1: long ago, and I see, Andrea Romano, did you do
Speaker 1: a Superman movie recently?
Speaker 4: I didn't make one weekly, but they could have re
Speaker 4: released something that I did. Are you sure it was
Speaker 4: my name?
Speaker 2: One hundred percent positive? Yeah, so it was. It was.
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm on that Warner Brothers list where they
Speaker 1: send me the new videos, and it was like three
Speaker 1: weeks ago and I pop it on and there's Andrea Romano.
Speaker 4: Wow, can you tell me the name of it?
Speaker 2: I can't.
Speaker 1: I don't remember what it was, but it was a
Speaker 1: Superman movie. I will make sure that I'll let you
Speaker 1: know what it is on Onnesday. So, oh, man, I
Speaker 1: was hoping you had come out of retirement and you
Speaker 1: had directed something again.
Speaker 4: You know, I'm always willing to do that if the
Speaker 4: gig is the right gig and if a deal can
Speaker 4: be made. I've never said absolutely not, I will never
Speaker 4: do it again. That said, I'm enjoying my retirement very much.
Speaker 2: I can't imagine, so it would have to.
Speaker 4: Be something really special for me to come out, but
Speaker 4: I'm totally willing to do a session.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 1: Got I got a lot of your care. Obviously, you
Speaker 1: can't get all your credits because it's an hour long show.
Speaker 1: But I got a lot of your credits. But the
Speaker 1: one thing, how many Emmys?
Speaker 2: Is it? I have eight eight Emmy Awards?
Speaker 4: Have I lost count of nominations after thirty three? I
Speaker 4: have thirty three nominations that I have certificates for and everything.
Speaker 4: But I know there's a handful more than that. I
Speaker 4: just lost count.
Speaker 2: That's unbelievable.
Speaker 1: So are you like Tom Brady where you don't? You
Speaker 1: don't think about the six super Bowls you won? You
Speaker 1: think about the two you lost.
Speaker 4: No, No, I'm so grateful for each one of these
Speaker 4: that I won, and for almost all of them, I
Speaker 4: was there in person to accept them, which is, I mean,
Speaker 4: just a great party, and to walk away with one
Speaker 4: of those little golden ladies is just a beautiful thing.
Speaker 4: And especially because for an Emmy Award, you're being judged
Speaker 4: by your peers, you know, everything is a peer group decision.
Speaker 4: That made me really happy to think that other people
Speaker 4: thought I did a good job too.
Speaker 2: It's unbelievable.
Speaker 4: Nice.
Speaker 1: Well, again, we could talk about your You've been on
Speaker 1: the show before, so we've done kind of a version
Speaker 1: of this already, I thought.
Speaker 2: So, however, this is much higher stakes. So to bring you.
Speaker 1: Up to date, we launched the Super Awesome Contest to
Speaker 1: become the next Big Voice Actor. Okay, and we had
Speaker 1: forty five hundred entries across the United States. Because the US,
Speaker 1: just the US, we were only allowed to do the US.
Speaker 2: We are now down to this.
Speaker 1: Well, after today we will determine our final two. Going
Speaker 1: to the finals, the winners get flown out to Los Angeles.
Speaker 1: They will have lunch with Christy and I. They get
Speaker 1: a thousand dollars spending money. They get to do a
Speaker 1: quick voiceover training session with Mary McGlynn and Sam Regal
Speaker 1: from Critical Role, and they sign a one year contract
Speaker 1: with CEESD, my voiceover agent. Oh my gosh, so a right,
Speaker 1: A very big prize. The winner gets to sign with
Speaker 1: a huge agency for a year and gets to go
Speaker 1: and try.
Speaker 2: To start their career.
Speaker 4: Fantastic.
Speaker 1: We have put them through the ringer to start to
Speaker 1: ask you. So, the first game we did was a
Speaker 1: game that was called by the Numbers.
Speaker 2: So what by the numbers was? Is you?
Speaker 3: We wrote some dialogue, I wrote I'll take credit.
Speaker 2: I wrote some dialogue. But they didn't know what.
Speaker 1: Their characters were and the characters were broken down into
Speaker 1: different numbers and different categories. It was like size, age,
Speaker 1: what are you in a special attribute? And then our
Speaker 1: guest judges, who were voiceover actors, would come on and
Speaker 1: randomly pick these numbers which would create the character on
Speaker 1: the spot that the voiceover actor then had to create
Speaker 1: and use those lines of dialogue. They did those two
Speaker 1: and then we give them a third that they had
Speaker 1: to do. They had to read cold.
Speaker 4: Okay.
Speaker 1: So we then went from our that was our first sixteen.
Speaker 1: We went from forty five hundred to pick the fine
Speaker 1: the top sixteen. We then got to our eight, our
Speaker 1: elite eight. Then did something called Extra Extra Read all
Speaker 1: about It, which is all adreads because we know that
Speaker 1: as a voiceover actor, actually the vast majority of things
Speaker 1: you're auditioning for are ad reads. So I created a
Speaker 1: whole bunch of products that didn't exist. Then they had
Speaker 1: to do thirty second commercials and then one cold. Now
Speaker 1: we are to what we call get in the Booth,
Speaker 1: and what we are doing is a straight up voiceover
Speaker 1: session with a script that has I think we sent
Speaker 1: you the script, so it is a four page script
Speaker 1: like a and I will set this up for the
Speaker 1: audience because we did this last week like a voiceover session.
Speaker 1: We are not going to be reading the direction or
Speaker 1: any of that kind of stuff. We are going to
Speaker 1: read it straight through as we would in the booth.
Speaker 1: So if it's okay with you, what we'll do is
Speaker 1: we won't say anything to our first contestant and our
Speaker 1: second contest Obvious, we're not giving somebody advantage, but we
Speaker 1: won't tell anybody anything.
Speaker 2: We'll say, just take a crack at it. I will
Speaker 2: be playing one character.
Speaker 1: They will be playing one character, and we will just
Speaker 1: run through and then if you would, you can give
Speaker 1: them notes and direct them, and then we will go
Speaker 1: to the second contestant and do the same thing.
Speaker 4: So we'll do a second run, a second pass with.
Speaker 1: We will we will be doing a second past and actually,
Speaker 1: if we get to the point where it's too close
Speaker 1: what we're going to be what we're going to do,
Speaker 1: then we're going to each give them two takes at
Speaker 1: it after you give them some notes, and.
Speaker 3: Then we are going to switch characters, so.
Speaker 1: They once now they have to do the other character
Speaker 1: and I will go from there.
Speaker 3: Again, we are not going to make this easy on
Speaker 3: them because the prize is so good.
Speaker 1: And then you and I will discuss, you know, and
Speaker 1: nitpick and see who gets to move on to the finals. Cool,
Speaker 1: So if that's okay with you, I would love Now
Speaker 1: the first one we bring in is always the first
Speaker 1: one who just shows up, okay. So the first one
Speaker 1: to show up today is Mia from Florida. And if
Speaker 1: we can bring Mia in, that would be great.
Speaker 2: There's Mia. Hi, Mia, how are you. I'm good, how.
Speaker 5: Are you today?
Speaker 4: So it's nice to meet you.
Speaker 6: Nice to meet you too.
Speaker 5: My name's Mia.
Speaker 2: Mia.
Speaker 1: Congratulations once again on making it to the final four.
Speaker 2: We're so excited to have you back.
Speaker 5: Thank you. I'm excited to be here.
Speaker 2: And you know, we're just introducing everybody right now.
Speaker 1: So this is of course Andrea Romano, who directed everything
Speaker 1: that's ever done in the history of animation essentially, and
Speaker 1: she is going to be our guest judge today and
Speaker 1: helping you through the process of get into the booth
Speaker 1: where you are going to be reading for the start
Speaker 1: of the role of Cardinal in the script that I
Speaker 1: sent you. So if you're ready, we will get to
Speaker 1: you in a second, and you can just take a
Speaker 1: moment and we will be right back with you.
Speaker 2: If that's all.
Speaker 5: Right, all righty, thanks so much all.
Speaker 2: Thank you, Mia. We'll see you in a second. Thanks
Speaker 2: so much.
Speaker 1: The other thing, Andrea, I should tell you before, not
Speaker 1: that this is going to influence you in any way,
Speaker 1: but just to give her a little bit of time.
Speaker 2: Mia is visually impaired.
Speaker 1: Okay, so she needs a little bit more time sometimes
Speaker 1: reading the script or if we you know, throw something
Speaker 1: cold at her.
Speaker 2: But she's been rock solid.
Speaker 4: Isn't that the greatest that this is an industry where
Speaker 4: that can certainly be dealt with and should not hold
Speaker 4: anybody back from his work.
Speaker 1: She has been just every week just nailing it everything
Speaker 1: we've thrown at.
Speaker 3: Her, as has Haley from Texas.
Speaker 2: Is Haley with us as well? Ha, there's Haley.
Speaker 4: Hi.
Speaker 2: How are you welcome back? Yeah?
Speaker 4: Thank you?
Speaker 6: How are you?
Speaker 2: I'm great?
Speaker 1: Thanks once again, congratulations on making it to the final four.
Speaker 2: One more step for y'all. We're seeing what's you and
Speaker 2: your fellow contestant.
Speaker 3: Today, and this is.
Speaker 1: The incredible Andrea Romano who has so graciously agreed to
Speaker 1: help direct you today.
Speaker 2: Did you get your script?
Speaker 6: I did?
Speaker 1: It is right there and you know that you will
Speaker 1: be playing Cardinal yep, wonderful. So your fellow contestant got
Speaker 1: here first, so you were up in second, second position
Speaker 1: today and we will be right back with you.
Speaker 2: Sounds good, all right?
Speaker 3: Hell I see in a second, see in a minute.
Speaker 4: Hate will before we do that. Yeah, yes, she's not
Speaker 4: hearing Mia. She won't hear me.
Speaker 2: No no, no, no, they will not hear each other. They
Speaker 2: will not know each other or there.
Speaker 1: And now for everybody else listening, So here's what we
Speaker 1: did last week to make sure that you know what's
Speaker 1: going on in the scene since we are just going
Speaker 1: to be doing the actual dialogue. Essentially, we're going to
Speaker 1: be coming up in the middle of this big superhero
Speaker 1: fight in the middle of a city. There's laser blasts
Speaker 1: all over the place, there's other superheroes being slammed to
Speaker 1: the ground, and these two, you know, one superhero and
Speaker 1: one villain.
Speaker 2: Are going to meet for a big final battle.
Speaker 1: So, once again, as we did last week, we're going
Speaker 1: to make sure that the script is up on our
Speaker 1: Instagram page so you will be able to follow along
Speaker 1: when we get there. But in the meantime, as we said,
Speaker 1: we're going to keep this as real as jumping into
Speaker 1: a booth as you can possibly get. So we don't
Speaker 1: sit there and read all the direction and stuff we're
Speaker 1: in the booth. We just read the dialogue like a
Speaker 1: straight radio play from the thirties, and that's what we're
Speaker 1: going to be doing today. So big superhero fight, lots
Speaker 1: of stuff going on, and let's bring Mia back and
Speaker 1: see what she does.
Speaker 2: With her character of Cardinal.
Speaker 3: Hi, how are you?
Speaker 7: You know?
Speaker 5: Pretty good? You know it's been five minutes. You know
Speaker 5: what can happen?
Speaker 3: Exactly?
Speaker 2: All right? Mia? So here we go.
Speaker 1: As we said the first time, no notes, no direction,
Speaker 1: no anything. We're just gonna have you read it and
Speaker 1: see how we do. I will be reading against you,
Speaker 1: and I will be playing Mega Guy and the Blast.
Speaker 2: So okay, here we go, and thus the end of
Speaker 2: Mega Guy. You know, when I came to this planet,
Speaker 2: I was told the Hero Crew of the most powerful
Speaker 2: beings in the entire universe. I must admit that I
Speaker 2: am disappointed. There's no one here who can best me.
Speaker 5: Judging by the looks of things, you're doing a wee
Speaker 5: bit of redecorating.
Speaker 2: And who exactly are you?
Speaker 5: Well, I suppose it would be implied to give you
Speaker 5: a butt whooping without properly introducing myself. First, my name
Speaker 5: is Cardinal. I'm new in town and you are.
Speaker 2: I am the blest offspring of King Tylod and the
Speaker 2: seventeenth disciple to hold the Monocle of Danubis.
Speaker 5: Hmm, that sounds nice. I'm from Louisiana and my mom's
Speaker 5: name is Flow.
Speaker 7: Now.
Speaker 2: I have studied all the members of the Hero Crew,
Speaker 2: and you are not listed amongst their ranks.
Speaker 5: Well, that's true, and I love that word. A monks,
Speaker 5: by the way, doesn't get used nearly often enough. You see,
Speaker 5: I was actually on my way here to Vector City
Speaker 5: to let try out for that nice, cool superhero team
Speaker 5: when I read the gone Fishing sign on the front
Speaker 5: of their headquarters.
Speaker 2: Gone Fishing.
Speaker 6: Okay, that was a lie.
Speaker 5: The sign actually said gonna fight some weird looking creep
Speaker 5: with a single nasty piece of glass in their bright
Speaker 5: red eye. You've seen anyone like that around here?
Speaker 2: You dare mock the Monocle of d Nubis?
Speaker 5: Yeah, I dare.
Speaker 2: For huh. That was but a taste of my power.
Speaker 2: I would have ended you. But I hope you don't
Speaker 2: mind if I make this last. I really want to
Speaker 2: savor this victory.
Speaker 5: No, you gotta be the victor first.
Speaker 6: There sport.
Speaker 2: How is that possible? Even at low power? You shouldn't
Speaker 2: be able to stand after a blast like that.
Speaker 5: I had a lot of waities that might have something.
Speaker 2: To do with it. Ah, I do not understand the reference.
Speaker 5: No, I imagined you wouldn't.
Speaker 6: But that's okay.
Speaker 5: If you don't mind so much, I'm just gonna send
Speaker 5: you back to wherever it is you came from.
Speaker 2: I wish you the best of luck with that.
Speaker 5: Why would you waste me look to kick your butt?
Speaker 2: I do not know. Oh enough of this. You can
Speaker 2: go first with the various sounds.
Speaker 5: Thank you?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 5: Yeah, And this is just about.
Speaker 6: Wrap it up?
Speaker 2: What's it going to be cardinal me or all of
Speaker 2: these people on the bridge? I thought so.
Speaker 5: Capsulator? Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 6: That.
Speaker 4: Great.
Speaker 2: That was fun.
Speaker 4: It's great.
Speaker 3: Now, Andrea, I have a question for you.
Speaker 1: Would you would you rather go and hear the other
Speaker 1: contestants cold read and then do notes and notes or
Speaker 1: would you rather do notes first?
Speaker 7: Now?
Speaker 4: Let's stay notes now, because she's she's more. She's got
Speaker 4: it right, you got it? So can I just dive
Speaker 4: did and get some notes?
Speaker 2: Absolutely?
Speaker 4: Very good? So here's something that I noticed, Miya. Yes,
Speaker 4: everything that you're doing, every speech that you gave, practically
Speaker 4: every line that you had pretty much had the same energy.
Speaker 4: And I want to find some places where it's maybe
Speaker 4: she's just a little bit more confident and quiet, and
Speaker 4: then she could be bigger and broad, just something so
Speaker 4: that it's not all the same. Note, do you know
Speaker 4: what I'm saying? Okay, so let's look at this from
Speaker 4: the very I'm looking at your first line right is
Speaker 4: the bottom of page one, correct, judging by the looks
Speaker 4: of things. Okay, so let's give yourself a better entrance.
Speaker 4: Let's give yourself a bigger entrance to start that off
Speaker 4: with just a good superhero, nice strong entrance. And then
Speaker 4: I'm looking at page two the blasts, who exactly are you? Well,
Speaker 4: I suppose it would be impolted to give you a
Speaker 4: butt whooping. So you say, my name is Cardinal, have
Speaker 4: a little more ego about it, Okay, Okay, just my
Speaker 4: name is. I'm going to tell you who I am,
Speaker 4: And here's who I am. And so then you continue
Speaker 4: that conversation just below that, he says, I'm the blast
Speaker 4: offspring of King blah blah, blah, and I would like
Speaker 4: to just do a really technical thing nia, and that
Speaker 4: is that sounds, and then take a second before you
Speaker 4: say the word ne okay. You know, there could be
Speaker 4: so many other words that you're going to say after
Speaker 4: that sounds, and then you make the decision to use
Speaker 4: the word ice. So give yourself that little moment. I'm
Speaker 4: looking down on that same page he says, gone fishing,
Speaker 4: and then you say, Okay, that was a lie. The
Speaker 4: sign actually said. Your pace has been very consistent. I'm
Speaker 4: thinking if we do okay, that was a lie the
Speaker 4: sign actually said, and then move through this next part
Speaker 4: a little bit faster. The god to fight this weird,
Speaker 4: vastly looking creep. Just move through that a little bit faster.
Speaker 4: Just again, what are the many ways that we can
Speaker 4: area performance is with tempo, is with speed. So in
Speaker 4: this particular instance, let's try to just speed her up
Speaker 4: for that line.
Speaker 5: Okay, all right, so slow at the beginning for just
Speaker 5: the first minute, and then get speedier when she's reciting,
Speaker 5: like the note on what's in quotes?
Speaker 4: Yes, the part of that's in quotes exactly? Can you
Speaker 4: see that well enough? You know it's part of Okay,
Speaker 4: through a bright red eye. Perfect, Thank you. Then both
Speaker 4: of you guys, when we get to the impacts of
Speaker 4: the fight stuff.
Speaker 5: I think I went to early too. I'm so sorry.
Speaker 4: I like that's on page four. What I like to
Speaker 4: do is I want you to alternate. So will you
Speaker 4: throw a punch? That means, Mia, you take a punch?
Speaker 4: Will you you know? Whatever you do, so Mia, your reaction,
Speaker 4: your sound is going to be dependent upon what Will
Speaker 4: has done. And then after maybe two or three different
Speaker 4: things that he does, then you take the lead and
Speaker 4: you throw the punch. And then will with take the punch.
Speaker 4: It's just so we have that. So Will, why do
Speaker 4: we say three things that you instigate and then we'll
Speaker 4: switch it up and let her instigate?
Speaker 2: Sounds great and.
Speaker 4: Me and did you have any questions for us?
Speaker 5: Not right now?
Speaker 4: Those is OK?
Speaker 6: Fun script, It is so.
Speaker 4: So what I want you to do is look at variety,
Speaker 4: giving us some variety within it, and if you stumble
Speaker 4: is to make a mistake, just go back to the
Speaker 4: beginning of that section and start again without Oh.
Speaker 5: I have one question. Actually, do you guys want me
Speaker 5: to keep the Louisiana accent? I just kept it because
Speaker 5: she's you know, she says, She's from.
Speaker 2: I like it too, like it.
Speaker 3: I thought it was your fun choice.
Speaker 1: And now what we're going to do is we'll let
Speaker 1: you sit with the notes and then we'll be back
Speaker 1: with you. Okay, So I'm excited you we'll see in
Speaker 1: a big thank you. I told you there's just so
Speaker 1: much energy and yeah, they're great. So let's bring in
Speaker 1: Haley from Texas and see what Haley can do.
Speaker 6: Hi, Haley, Hello again? How are you excited?
Speaker 1: What we're gonna do is like we've done before. We're
Speaker 1: not going to no notes, know anything. We're not gonna
Speaker 1: get in your head. We're just gonna run it through
Speaker 1: straight and we're gonna see you know, I'll be playing
Speaker 1: the Blast and you're gonna be playing Cardinal and we're
Speaker 1: just gonna see what you do with it. And then
Speaker 1: Andrea is going to give you some notes and we'll
Speaker 1: come back and do a take two.
Speaker 6: Huzza.
Speaker 2: All right, So here we go.
Speaker 3: I will be starting with Mega Guy and going from there.
Speaker 2: And thus the end of Mega Guy. You know, when
Speaker 2: I came to this planet, I was told the Hero
Speaker 2: Crew were the most powerful beings in the entire universe.
Speaker 2: I must admit that I am disappointed. There is no
Speaker 2: one here that confessed.
Speaker 6: Me judging father looks at things. You're doing a wee
Speaker 6: bit of redecorating.
Speaker 2: And who exactly are you?
Speaker 6: Well, I suppose it would be impolite to give you
Speaker 6: a butt whooping without properly introducing myself. First, my name
Speaker 6: is Cardinal, I'm new in town, and you are.
Speaker 2: I am the blast offspring of King Thailand and the
Speaker 2: seventeenth disciple to hold the Monocle of Danubis.
Speaker 6: That sounds nice.
Speaker 8: I'm from Louisiana and my mom's.
Speaker 2: Name is Flow. I have studied all the members of
Speaker 2: the Hero Crew, and you were not listed amongst their ranks.
Speaker 6: Well that's true. I love that word amongst. Doesn't get
Speaker 6: used nearly enough. Anyway. Was actually on my way here
Speaker 6: to Vector City to try out for that cool superhero
Speaker 6: team when I read the gone fishing sign on the
Speaker 6: front of their headquarters.
Speaker 2: Gone fishing.
Speaker 6: Okay, you got me. That was a lie. Now, the
Speaker 6: sign actually said gone to fight some weird looking creep
Speaker 6: with a single nasty piece of glass in their bright
Speaker 6: red eye.
Speaker 5: You've seen anyone like that around here?
Speaker 2: You dare mock the monocle of Danubis.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I dare.
Speaker 2: Ah, that was but a taste of my power. I
Speaker 2: would have ended you. But I hope you don't mind
Speaker 2: if I make this last. I really want to savor
Speaker 2: this victory.
Speaker 6: Yeah, you gotta be the victim first, there sport.
Speaker 2: How is that possible? Even at low power? You shouldn't
Speaker 2: be able to stand after a blast like that.
Speaker 6: You know, I do eat a lot of wheedies. That
Speaker 6: might have something to do with it.
Speaker 2: I do not understand the reference.
Speaker 6: Oh no, oh, I imagine you wouldn't. But hey, that's okay.
Speaker 6: Now if you don't mind too much, I'm just gonna
Speaker 6: send you back to wherever it is you came from.
Speaker 2: Well, I wish you the best of luck with that.
Speaker 6: Wait, why would you wish me luck to kick your butt?
Speaker 2: I do? I don't know enough of this, Ah true?
Speaker 2: Just so, what's it going to be, Cardinal me or
Speaker 2: all of the people on the bridge? I thought? So
Speaker 2: catch you later?
Speaker 4: All right, good, very good? And yes please if I.
Speaker 6: May, yes please?
Speaker 4: Uh. The very first line that you have, judging by
Speaker 4: the looks of things, you had a little tiny stumbled.
Speaker 4: Do you remember that at the very beginning? Yeah, Judge,
Speaker 4: that would buy gout whenever that happens, whether it's on
Speaker 4: that line or anything else, take the second to go
Speaker 4: back to the top of that line and do it again.
Speaker 4: Get rid of that mistake, because I'm guessing when you
Speaker 4: were half a page beyond that, you were still thinking
Speaker 4: about the fact that you would screwed up that first line.
Speaker 4: You know what I mean. It's hard to forget screwed
Speaker 4: up something. That's it, and then you can let it
Speaker 4: go worry about it, Okay, So just don't be afraid
Speaker 4: to make that correction the top top of page too,
Speaker 4: will even more confrontational to her, who's so that she
Speaker 4: has a better response to that I'm or absolutely do
Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying there? Heley, your response, so
Speaker 4: listen to him and follow that.
Speaker 6: Okay.
Speaker 4: I love the funny, very funny idea about doing the
Speaker 4: voice for I'm from Louisiana on Mon's names flow. It's
Speaker 4: a very funny idea.
Speaker 6: Good for you, such a good voice, exactly.
Speaker 4: See watch your clarity on the next section. Well, that's true,
Speaker 4: and I love the word amongst by the way, So
Speaker 4: there's two different thoughts there, right, Haley. Well that's true
Speaker 4: and I just love right. So I want to get
Speaker 4: a little bit different thing from your addressing him. And
Speaker 4: then don't you just love the word shrubbery. I love
Speaker 4: saying whatever something that just just take that out of
Speaker 4: it a little bit and then.
Speaker 6: Come back into this totally different energy.
Speaker 2: Got it.
Speaker 4: On the section. Okay, that was a lie. The sign
Speaker 4: actually said, mock him a little bit more, he says.
Speaker 4: His line following says, you dare mock the monocle of
Speaker 4: the Nubis, So give him something to react to. Mock
Speaker 4: him even more on that line before it, find some
Speaker 4: way to mock him. Okay. And then three, uh, the impacts.
Speaker 4: When we get to the page four, the fight back
Speaker 4: and forth, Will is going to do three sounds. He's
Speaker 4: going to throw a punch. You take the punch. He's
Speaker 4: going to kick you take the kick. He's going to
Speaker 4: do a third something that is an attack on you.
Speaker 4: You respond, and then after three you're going to do
Speaker 4: the attacking. He's going to respond. So the sounds that
Speaker 4: we're going.
Speaker 6: To do there, okay, amazing, thank you.
Speaker 4: And then the very last line and even says in
Speaker 4: the stage direction, car voice, Starry voice rings out, Yeah,
Speaker 4: make that a better exit loud. Yeah, you know enjoy
Speaker 4: a little more, and and just in general, it's very
Speaker 4: good in general trying to find just some more variety,
Speaker 4: whether it's volume, whether it's pace, whether it's attitude. Make
Speaker 4: sure that you've got a bunch of different things that
Speaker 4: you're showing in this scene. Okay, did you have any
Speaker 4: questions for us?
Speaker 6: What did the was the accent?
Speaker 2: Okay?
Speaker 6: I was trying to give her a bit of a
Speaker 6: what do you in a country bumpkin?
Speaker 2: I did either. I thought it was a good choice.
Speaker 2: I liked it. Okay, okay, all right, well, thank you.
Speaker 2: We will be back with you. You can sit with
Speaker 2: the notes and we'll be back to do it. Take
Speaker 2: to really thank you so much.
Speaker 1: So one of the things we like to do in
Speaker 1: between is just see if somebody kind of one round one.
Speaker 2: Do you think that somebody is standing out yet?
Speaker 4: I don't yet.
Speaker 3: I don't either.
Speaker 2: I don't either. I'll make interesting choices for you know what.
Speaker 1: The thing that you used to always tell me and
Speaker 1: you tell I've heard you tell another of Pece. You
Speaker 1: know thousands of people, frankly is people often forget the
Speaker 1: actor part of voice actor. And so one of the
Speaker 1: things we're really looking for is an actor, and.
Speaker 2: They're they're both good. They both had some interesting choices and.
Speaker 1: And uh yeah, I'm I'm curious to see how now
Speaker 1: they take the direction and take the notes and go
Speaker 1: from there too.
Speaker 3: So let's bring me a back and see see what
Speaker 3: she's doing.
Speaker 2: Hello, Hi, Mia, how are you?
Speaker 9: I'm good?
Speaker 6: How are you?
Speaker 3: I'm good?
Speaker 2: Thanks?
Speaker 1: So we are going to, uh you know, with those notes,
Speaker 1: we will go and do these again, and don't forget
Speaker 1: when we get to the impacts.
Speaker 3: I'll start three and then you start three.
Speaker 1: So we'll do six sounds total six well six go arounds,
Speaker 1: I guess is where it would be six couplets.
Speaker 2: And we have one question really, yes, of course.
Speaker 5: So after you do an impact sound, should I make
Speaker 5: like a dodging type sound like after your three? Or
Speaker 5: do you want to do just three straight up? And
Speaker 5: then I'll do three.
Speaker 4: Back and forth? And all right, So will throws a punch?
Speaker 4: You take the punch I'll throw as a kick, You
Speaker 4: take the kick. Well, there's a spinning something you and
Speaker 4: then then just the opposite you'll get the chance to
Speaker 4: do that kind of physical action where you are doing
Speaker 4: the aggressive part of it. And he's going to be
Speaker 4: a reaction to it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and we'll do that. We'll do that right back
Speaker 2: to back, so we'll do those all those sounds together.
Speaker 2: It'll be great.
Speaker 5: Alrighty, all right?
Speaker 4: Any other questions I wanted to ask you before you
Speaker 4: went it again? Sitting there with those notes? Did anything else?
Speaker 5: I had fun?
Speaker 2: All right?
Speaker 4: Her?
Speaker 3: Fun is good. Fun is good.
Speaker 1: You can't have fun recording stuff like this, then pick
Speaker 1: another business exactly.
Speaker 2: So here we go, and thus the end of Mega Guy.
Speaker 2: You know, when I came to this planet, I was
Speaker 2: told that the Hero Crew were the most powerful beings
Speaker 2: in the entire universe. I must admit that I am disappointed.
Speaker 2: There is no one here who confessed me.
Speaker 5: Judging by the looks of things, you are doing a
Speaker 5: wee bet of.
Speaker 6: Re decorating men.
Speaker 2: Who exactly are you?
Speaker 4: Well?
Speaker 5: I suppose it would be impolite to give you a
Speaker 5: butt whoopan without properly introducing myself. First, my name is Cardinal.
Speaker 5: I'm new to town and you are.
Speaker 2: I am the blast offspring of King Tylod and the
Speaker 2: seventeenth disciple to hold the Monocle of Danubis.
Speaker 5: Hmm, that sounds nice. I'm from Louisiana and my mom's
Speaker 5: name is Flow.
Speaker 2: I have studied all of the members of the Hero Crew,
Speaker 2: and you were not listed amongst their ranks.
Speaker 5: Well, that's true, and I love that word amongst, By
Speaker 5: the way, doesn't get used nearly enough.
Speaker 10: You see.
Speaker 5: I was actually on my way here to Vector City
Speaker 5: to try out for that cool superhero team when I
Speaker 5: read the gone fishing sign on the front of their headquarters.
Speaker 2: Gone fishing.
Speaker 6: Okay, that was a lie.
Speaker 5: The sign actually said. God, if i'd some weird looking
Speaker 5: creep with a single nasty piece of glass and the
Speaker 5: bright red eye. You've seen anyone like that around here?
Speaker 2: You dare mock the monocle of Danubis.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I dare.
Speaker 2: That was but a taste of my power. I would
Speaker 2: have ended you. But I hope you don't mind if
Speaker 2: I make this last. I really want to savor this victory.
Speaker 5: No, you gotta be the victor first. There, sport.
Speaker 2: How is that possible? Even at low power? You shouldn't
Speaker 2: be able to stand after a blast like that.
Speaker 5: I had a lot of waitnies that I might have
Speaker 5: something to do with it.
Speaker 2: I do not understand the reference.
Speaker 5: Hmm, No, I imagine you wouldn't. But that's Okay, if
Speaker 5: you don't mind too much, I'm just gonna send you
Speaker 5: back to wherever it is you came from.
Speaker 2: I wish you the best of luck with that.
Speaker 5: Uh, why would you wish me love to kick your boat?
Speaker 2: I do not know. Okay, enough of this, Yeah, no,
Speaker 2: and this is just about wrapping up. What's it gonna be,
Speaker 2: Cardinal me or all of the people on the bridge?
Speaker 5: Hm hmm, I thought so, casulator alligator.
Speaker 4: No, it was so great, really nice adjustments that you made.
Speaker 4: I heard those choices. I could tell that you were
Speaker 4: messing with the rhythm and the time and the volume.
Speaker 4: And you follow my notes so nicely.
Speaker 2: We can, Andrea, we can do pickups. It's just what
Speaker 2: I was a pickups.
Speaker 4: Absolutely excellent. Oh. I loved what you did with that first.
Speaker 4: I suppose it would be impolite to give you a
Speaker 4: butt will be without properly introducing myself. My name is
Speaker 4: Cardinal a Newtown sweet. Loved it. You're writing that sequence
Speaker 4: faster that I asked you to make me laugh out loud. God,
Speaker 4: I've made me laugh out loud, really really good. I
Speaker 4: wanted to do a pickup, please on. I want to
Speaker 4: do the two impacts of a top of page three.
Speaker 4: So you get you get hit in the chest by
Speaker 4: a blast that he fires, and then you hit the building.
Speaker 4: So I want the first one to be imagine, if
Speaker 4: you will, the sound of getting hit in the chest,
Speaker 4: so and then a bigger but still that same kind
Speaker 4: of impact as your body hits a right, So maybe
Speaker 4: it's that. Will you just do those who sounds for me?
Speaker 6: Yes?
Speaker 5: So just the two impacts, not like sign through the
Speaker 5: air or anything.
Speaker 4: Well, you don't have to make a sound during that.
Speaker 4: Let's just say yeah, gotcha, alrighty, really good, do both
Speaker 4: of them bigger? Okay, that's it, that's it, very good.
Speaker 4: On that same section, you say you gotta be you
Speaker 4: got to be the victor first bear sport. I want
Speaker 4: to do three in a row, three takes of the
Speaker 4: same line. Yes, and I want it to just exude confidence.
Speaker 4: You are so absolutely sure that you have You're going
Speaker 4: to best the sky absolutely no problem. But make sure
Speaker 4: that each of those three takes are different. Find a
Speaker 4: way to marry each of those three. Do three in
Speaker 4: a row? ABC, You're ready?
Speaker 7: All right?
Speaker 5: So you said you wanted confident, but is maybe is
Speaker 5: it okay? If I like start off because I think
Speaker 5: she's like getting a off the ground after being slammed
Speaker 5: into this building, right.
Speaker 4: That's right? That would thank you.
Speaker 5: You gotta be the victor first. There, Sports, you gotta
Speaker 5: be the victor there. First, sports, you gotta be the
Speaker 5: victor first there.
Speaker 4: Sports, all three good options. Then the next time you
Speaker 4: have after that. I eat a lot of wheaties. I
Speaker 4: had a clarity problem. I just couldn't understand the word wheaties.
Speaker 4: And so let's do three of those in a row
Speaker 4: just for clarity. Okay, I'm sorry, before you do it,
Speaker 4: excuse me? Well, would you read her into it once?
Speaker 3: Absolutely?
Speaker 4: And then you just do three in a row after
Speaker 4: he reads you in once?
Speaker 2: How is that possible? Even that low power. You shouldn't
Speaker 2: be able to stand after a blast like that.
Speaker 5: I ate a lot of wheaties. That might have something
Speaker 5: to do with it. I ate a lot of waiters
Speaker 5: that might have something to do with it. I eat
Speaker 5: a lot of wheaties. I might have something to do
Speaker 5: with it.
Speaker 4: In my choice, how I pick.
Speaker 1: I was just gonna say, I know you well enough,
Speaker 1: andreda where I've just heard you say, see.
Speaker 4: Okay, you handled the alternate fighting thing just great. Wonderful
Speaker 4: and uh, I don't have another pickups? Will? Did you
Speaker 4: have anything then? No?
Speaker 2: I think it's great.
Speaker 4: Cool.
Speaker 2: We will be back with you in a bit.
Speaker 3: May or Hermia Ah, thank you bye.

Speaker 1: We're gonna just jump right in with with the notes
Speaker 1: and see if we can go from there.
Speaker 2: Are you good? Yep?
Speaker 3: All right, here we go.
Speaker 2: And thus the end of Mega Guy. You know, when
Speaker 2: I came to this planet, I was told that the
Speaker 2: Hero Crew were the most powerful beings in the entire universe.
Speaker 2: I must admit that I am. I'm disappointed. There is
Speaker 2: no one here who can bessed me.
Speaker 7: No.
Speaker 6: Judging by the looks of things, you're doing a wee
Speaker 6: bit of redecorating.
Speaker 2: And who exactly are you?
Speaker 6: Well, I suppose it would be impolite to give you
Speaker 6: a butt whooping without properly introducing myself.
Speaker 2: First.
Speaker 6: My name is Cardinal, i'mnu in town and you are.
Speaker 2: I am the blest offspring of King Taylod and a
Speaker 2: seventeen disciple to hold the monocle of Danubis.
Speaker 6: Well that sounds nice. I'm from Louisiana and my mom's names. Oh.
Speaker 2: I have studied all of the members of the Hero Crew,
Speaker 2: and you were not listed amongst their ranks.
Speaker 6: Well, now that's true. I love that word amongst. By
Speaker 6: the way, does not get used nearly enough. Anyway. I
Speaker 6: was actually on my way here to Victor City to
Speaker 6: try out for that cool superhero team when I read
Speaker 6: the gone fishing sign on the front of their headquarters.
Speaker 2: Gone fishing.
Speaker 6: Okay, okay, you called me that was a lie. Now
Speaker 6: the sign actually said gone to fight some weird looking
Speaker 6: creep with a single nasty piece of glass in their
Speaker 6: bright red eye. You uh seeing anyone like that around here?
Speaker 2: You dare mock the monocle of Danubis?
Speaker 6: Yeah, I dare.
Speaker 5: Ah ah.
Speaker 2: That was but a taste of my power. I would
Speaker 2: have ended you, But I hope you don't mind if
Speaker 2: I make this last. I really want to savor this victory.
Speaker 11: Oh, you gotta be the victor first there, sport.
Speaker 2: How is that possible? Even at low power? You shouldn't
Speaker 2: be able to stand after a bless like that.
Speaker 6: I need a lot of wheedies that might have something
Speaker 6: to do with it.
Speaker 2: I do not understand the reference.
Speaker 6: Oh now, I imagine you wouldn't. But hey, that's okay.
Speaker 6: Now if you don't mind too much, I'm just gonna
Speaker 6: send you back to wherever it is he came from.
Speaker 2: Now, I wish you the best of luck with that.
Speaker 6: Why would you wish me luck to kick your butt?
Speaker 2: I do not know? Okay, enough of this.
Speaker 4: H h.
Speaker 6: Hell this, She just about wrap it up.
Speaker 2: What's it gonna be, Cardinal me or all of the
Speaker 2: people on the bridge? I thought so pat later, Okay, right,
Speaker 2: all right.
Speaker 4: Good, good, good, A lot of really good stuff there
Speaker 4: there there's a what did you want to say? Anything?
Speaker 4: Will before? No?
Speaker 1: No, no, no, no, We're gonna now we're gonna Andrea is
Speaker 1: going to walk you through some pickups.
Speaker 6: Okay.
Speaker 4: One general note. I noticed that you come up off
Speaker 4: the script a lot and are kind of looking out
Speaker 4: into the world and everything. You don't have to do that,
Speaker 4: and it takes you out of the moment. It makes
Speaker 4: you take a little bit longer exactly. You got the
Speaker 4: sense of it. So that's one of the joys of voiceover,
Speaker 4: is that words in front of you all the time, and.
Speaker 2: That the it's your theater. That's I get it.
Speaker 4: You book. You don't have to ever be off book. Okay,
Speaker 4: I love that. So look at your very first line.
Speaker 4: That's the first that we get to know you, your character whatever.
Speaker 4: I think you need to give us a stronger entrance. Okay,
Speaker 4: it kind of just came in kind of conversationally and stuff.
Speaker 4: Somehow you need to grab us and let us hear.
Speaker 4: So will you do three in to row of that
Speaker 4: first line? Yeah, you'll be three different versions anyway you
Speaker 4: want to mess with it, But just give me something
Speaker 4: that says I'm here, deal with me now.
Speaker 6: Yeah, okay, And is it cool if I sort of
Speaker 6: maybe drop the accent some do a couple with the
Speaker 6: accent and couple without. Is that just to try different things?
Speaker 3: Pick it and don't forget your only audience is that microphone?
Speaker 6: That one right there? Right Well, judging by the looks
Speaker 6: of things, you're doing a wee bit of a redecorating.
Speaker 6: Judging by the looks of things, you're doing a wee
Speaker 6: bit of redecorating. Judging by the looks of things, you're
Speaker 6: doing a wee bit of a redecorating.
Speaker 4: Good those are three indeed different ones. I'm looking at
Speaker 4: the stage direction before it. It says, as the smoke clears,
Speaker 4: young superhero hovers in the air, looks around, it takes
Speaker 4: in the distrestruction. So I just think there's something that
Speaker 4: kind of very first word has to get our tech
Speaker 4: judging by I mean something, because there's this big sky
Speaker 4: and there's you, and there's all these buildings knocked down,
Speaker 4: and so give me three more bigger, okay, bigger.
Speaker 5: Yeah, judging by the looks of things.
Speaker 6: You're doing a wee bittery decorating.
Speaker 12: Judging by the looks of things, you're doing a wee
Speaker 12: bittery decorating. Judging by the looks of things, you're doing
Speaker 12: a wee bit of redecorating.
Speaker 4: I like the first one of those three. Well done.
Speaker 4: Good for you.
Speaker 2: Go to.
Speaker 4: Page two, one, two, three, four, four lines down. That
Speaker 4: sounds nice. I'm from Louisiana. My mom's name is flow.
Speaker 4: The word flow dropped out. It just fell out of
Speaker 4: your voice. He didn't my mom's name name is.
Speaker 6: It just went weird, weird, So so it might have
Speaker 6: been there, that might have been.
Speaker 5: I just think it.
Speaker 4: Sometimes it happens that people lose their energy before the
Speaker 4: end of the line, and so everything else is being
Speaker 4: recorded perfectly fine, straight, and then that last word just
Speaker 4: dies out. Okay, right, so you give me a roll
Speaker 4: that the performance was fine. Just give me three.
Speaker 6: That sounds nice.
Speaker 8: I'm from Louisiana and my mom's name is Flow.
Speaker 6: Oh that sounds nice.
Speaker 8: I'm from Louisiana and my mom's name is flow.
Speaker 6: Ooh that sounds nice. I'm from Louisiana and my mom's name.
Speaker 4: Nice. You start touching on something there that I want
Speaker 4: to do. Will would you meet her into it again?
Speaker 4: Of course you're in your most evil and then Haley
Speaker 4: this time like so sweet all the way through, just
Speaker 4: the sweetest thing. He's going to be evil. You're going
Speaker 4: to be a contrasted That's just one past of that,
Speaker 4: both you guys.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I am the blessed offspring of King Thailand and
Speaker 2: a seventeen disciple to hold the monocle of Danubis.
Speaker 6: Oh that sounds nice. I'm from Louisiana and my mom's
Speaker 6: name is flow.
Speaker 4: I love that. I love that very funny. That's how
Speaker 4: you talk to an evil guy. Hey, something I want
Speaker 4: to play the next peak you have there, the line
Speaker 4: that's kind of parenthetical or the lines are yes, and
Speaker 4: I love that word amongst, by the way, doesn't get
Speaker 4: used nearly enough. So what I want you to do
Speaker 4: is I want you to do one take, not saying
Speaker 4: that line at all. Go from Well, that's true, you see,
Speaker 4: I actually was on my way. I want you just
Speaker 4: to write, and then I want you a second take,
Speaker 4: acknowledging that center line, which has a different energy. Right, yeah,
Speaker 4: well that's true, and then back to business. Right, okay,
Speaker 4: so the two texts of that speech will read here,
Speaker 4: and would you just he's gonna read you in once.
Speaker 2: Of course, thank you. I have studied all the members
Speaker 2: of the Hero Crew and you were not listed amongst
Speaker 2: their ranks.
Speaker 6: Well that's true, you see. I was actually on my
Speaker 6: way here to Vector City to try out for that
Speaker 6: cool superhero team when I read the gone fishing sign
Speaker 6: on the front of their headquarters. Well that's true. You know.
Speaker 6: I do love that word amongst, by the way, does
Speaker 6: not get used nearly enough. You see. I was actually
Speaker 6: on my way here to Vector City to try out
Speaker 6: for that cool superhero team when I read the gune
Speaker 6: fishing sign on the front of their headquarters.
Speaker 4: That's good, that was nice, you see. The difference to
Speaker 4: see why when you do that, there's a different energy
Speaker 4: for that.
Speaker 6: Yeah, parenthetical, proper beat that I don't think I was
Speaker 6: giving it before, Haley.
Speaker 4: The next line, when you did the the second pass
Speaker 4: all the way through when we first came back from
Speaker 4: the break, you didn't do the villain voice for I'm
Speaker 4: from Louisiana. My mom's name is slow. You didn't. And
Speaker 4: that was a fine choice, that was okay, But in
Speaker 4: doing that, it seemed to me maybe this line, okay,
Speaker 4: that was a lie. The sign actually said, now when
Speaker 4: you get to gone to fight, that could use Will's
Speaker 4: scary voice. Yeah, yeah, yeah, so we'll read it with
Speaker 4: gone fishing and let her try that.
Speaker 2: Would you sure gone fishing?
Speaker 6: Okay, that was a lie. The sign actually said.
Speaker 8: Gone to fight some weird looking creep with a single
Speaker 8: nasty piece of glass in the bright red eye.
Speaker 6: You seen anyone like that around here?
Speaker 4: Nice? Very nice variety, very good. And there was one
Speaker 4: other thing. Oh yeah, go to the line on page three.
Speaker 4: You gotta be the victor there, you gotta be the victory.
Speaker 4: And you know if victor there first. If you want
Speaker 4: to invert those works, fine, but three of those and faster.
Speaker 4: It just was moving too slow. Okay, I just need
Speaker 4: some more, some more. You're in the middle of a fight,
Speaker 4: and it was kind of conversational and so tough and
Speaker 4: strong and faster. Three of those.
Speaker 11: You got to be the victor first their sport. You
Speaker 11: gotta be the victor first there sport.
Speaker 4: Good.
Speaker 6: Well, you gotta be the victor first their sport.
Speaker 4: Well, that's nice. I like that last one, too good
Speaker 4: for you? Uh yes, and those are my notes.
Speaker 2: Okay, Helly, we will be back with you, Thank you much,
Speaker 2: thank you.
Speaker 3: Okay, so after round two, what do you think.
Speaker 2: It's tough?
Speaker 4: It is tough. They they both. I love their energy
Speaker 4: and their enthusiasm. My god, that goes such a long way.
Speaker 4: I almost feel like Mia. The accent works well for
Speaker 4: what she's doing. I don't know that Haley needs to
Speaker 4: use the accent. I'd like to hear her do a
Speaker 4: whole version of this without the accent, okay, because I
Speaker 4: feel like her her acting. She doesn't think about the
Speaker 4: acting as much. She's thinking about the accent more right,
Speaker 4: I would like to hear I'd like to her to
Speaker 4: pay a little bit more attention to what's going on.
Speaker 4: I think Mia did a very good job of taking
Speaker 4: the notes we gave her before the break. I thought
Speaker 4: so too, and addressing them in her next version.
Speaker 1: And it's so strange because for the first time, I
Speaker 1: always saw Haley's on stage kind of stage presence as
Speaker 1: a positive and for the first time, I'm kind of
Speaker 1: seeing the negative sides of it. When it comes to
Speaker 1: the vo world. She's not working the microphone the way
Speaker 1: that she used to do. She's kind of all over
Speaker 1: the place a little bit. I saw that, and so
Speaker 1: it's this is kind of the first time we're really
Speaker 1: seeing that.
Speaker 3: And again, you know, as not to bring down the room.
Speaker 1: But as Kevin taught me the first time sitting in
Speaker 1: the booth, it was all about the microphone and this.
Speaker 1: He's like, this is your best friend while you're in here.
Speaker 1: It's not me, it's not the people next to you.
Speaker 1: It is this thing right in front of you. And
Speaker 1: you know, Mia is right there on the mic the
Speaker 1: whole time, and Haley is acting, which is great, but
Speaker 1: it's pulling her away from kind of working the microphone,
Speaker 1: which is a you know, that's big.
Speaker 4: It is it also, as I mentioned to her, it
Speaker 4: slows her down. Yeah, it goes off here somewhere, and
Speaker 4: then she's got to come back and find the script
Speaker 4: and find this. So so you know how animation who's
Speaker 4: so quickly and stuff. She's she's pondering the much.
Speaker 1: And now the question the question I would add I
Speaker 1: would I would pose is because we talked about I
Speaker 1: made this analogy I think it was last week, because
Speaker 1: now we are nitpicking. There's an old analogy in baseball
Speaker 1: that two people run to first base and they both
Speaker 1: get there at the same time. One of them has
Speaker 1: perfect form, one of them has bad form. Which one
Speaker 1: do you take? And the answer from the coach is
Speaker 1: you take the one with bad form, because if you
Speaker 1: teach them good form, they're going to eventually beat the
Speaker 1: other person who had the perfect form. So the question is,
Speaker 1: do you take somebody where they're not working the microphone right,
Speaker 1: but maybe they're slightly better actors and teach them how
Speaker 1: to work the microphone. Would that, in the long run
Speaker 1: make them better or do you make do you take
Speaker 1: the person who is working the microphone right but maybe
Speaker 1: doesn't have the same acting chops.
Speaker 4: You know, this is the same thing that I used
Speaker 4: to deal with when we were in taking acting classes
Speaker 4: in college. I'm like, how do you grade? Do you
Speaker 4: grade them because when they started they were really crap
Speaker 4: and now they're passable? Or do you take the person
Speaker 4: who was a really good actor from the beginning and
Speaker 4: it is equally as good an actor at the end.
Speaker 4: Who gets the better grade? Who it's the same issue.
Speaker 4: It's for your purposes. You. It seems to me you
Speaker 4: were intending to take these people somewhere meaning growth, sure,
Speaker 4: wanting them to perceive what it is to get direction
Speaker 4: and how to use it. Yeah, intimidating you. So I
Speaker 4: really want can we run one more pass from both
Speaker 4: of them?
Speaker 2: We can, sure.
Speaker 1: I think one of the other things that we've we've
Speaker 1: always said, and we've been keeping this in our mind
Speaker 1: as well, trying to find somebody that can win this
Speaker 1: contest on Monday and be in a professional booth working
Speaker 1: on Tuesday.
Speaker 2: So that's the other thing.
Speaker 4: That what negative these ladies have for you in that goal?
Speaker 2: I don't at this point, it's not so much.
Speaker 3: I mean, again, if I'm if we're nitpicking.
Speaker 1: I thought that Haley's second round was not nearly as
Speaker 1: good as her first.
Speaker 2: I thought some of the choices she made slowed her down.
Speaker 1: I thought the energy was a little bit lacking where
Speaker 1: I thought some I thought Mia took the directions that
Speaker 1: you gave her and it upped the performance the second round.
Speaker 1: So you know that, I mean again, that's that would
Speaker 1: be the only negative I would take away is I think, Hailey,
Speaker 1: it's almost and again this is from theater. You're you
Speaker 1: almost start overthinking the performance and then you're trying to
Speaker 1: force beats that aren't necessarily there.
Speaker 4: There's that will and there's also she's doing physical things
Speaker 4: that when you look at it, it works, but of
Speaker 4: course when we only get the vocal track afterwards, it's
Speaker 4: not there.
Speaker 2: Sure so sure all.
Speaker 4: Her gesturing and all of her stuff that she's doing,
Speaker 4: unless it actually comes through in the voice, it's it's extreme.
Speaker 3: Right if you're I mean again, I go to Mark Hamill.
Speaker 1: You see the way that Mark Hamill is is working
Speaker 1: the microphone and he's just he's gesticulating all over the.
Speaker 2: Place, but everything is into the microphone.
Speaker 1: So it adds to the performance as opposed to now
Speaker 1: you're over here and now my face is this way,
Speaker 1: and now so it's you know, Matt Mercer, you know,
Speaker 1: towards the end of ThunderCats, was was nailing the performance
Speaker 1: while all over the I mean you'd have we'd move
Speaker 1: our chairs away because we thought we'd be punched in
Speaker 1: the face. So it's you can find the combination of
Speaker 1: the two. I just don't think that last take showed
Speaker 1: it for her.
Speaker 4: I agree, So I mean depending, I don't know how
Speaker 4: what your next plan is after this, but I mean
Speaker 4: we could just run another paths just with Haley having
Speaker 4: her do it without accent.
Speaker 2: We can't.
Speaker 1: I mean, normally, what we would do right now is
Speaker 1: we would switch and have them both through the blast.
Speaker 1: But but again, we're trying to find the best person here.
Speaker 1: So if you want to go back and you would
Speaker 1: rather run it with them one more time each, you're
Speaker 1: the guest judge.
Speaker 2: I have no problem.
Speaker 4: Don't mind moving on and making that change if you
Speaker 4: want to. I just think that I think she can
Speaker 4: do it better. That's all right. I really don't have
Speaker 4: any additional notes for me on it, and Meia took
Speaker 4: the notes and did exactly what I wanted. And I
Speaker 4: just think Haley she could do a better job. I
Speaker 4: think she can do better. Then we can tell them
Speaker 4: we'll have a better gauge of.
Speaker 2: Who's so is that what you'd want to do.
Speaker 1: I'm wondering if we're being so essentially, the only reason
Speaker 1: we're not doing this and giving me a more.
Speaker 2: Direction is because she doesn't need it correct.
Speaker 1: So she did the best version of that performance, and
Speaker 1: we can judge on that. And now you want to
Speaker 1: see if you want to if Haley can get that.
Speaker 2: I do, Okay, No problem is.
Speaker 4: Will you bring up a really good point, which is,
Speaker 4: you know, sometimes you'd sit there in a cast of
Speaker 4: you know, six, seven, eight people around you, and somebody
Speaker 4: got a whole bunch of notes and somebody didn't get
Speaker 4: any notes, and they were like, why why didn't I
Speaker 4: get any notes? Because you did it right right, because
Speaker 4: it got so I don't want her to feel like
Speaker 4: we're punishing her for getting it right. But we don't
Speaker 4: have to do the whole thing with Haley. We can
Speaker 4: just do let's just do page two.
Speaker 2: Okay, you got no again.
Speaker 1: We're trying to find the best person here, so you
Speaker 1: know we're we we want the best version of everybody
Speaker 1: so we can judge it properly.
Speaker 3: I don't have a problem with that at all.
Speaker 1: So, yeah, why don't we bring Haley back in real
Speaker 1: quick and We're just going to run page two with
Speaker 1: her again and then you flip right, Hey, Haley, hell, hey,
Speaker 1: we want to do one more thing with you, if
Speaker 1: that's all right?
Speaker 3: Yeah, please, Andrea, please take it away.
Speaker 4: Yes, I want you to run just page two, and
Speaker 4: this time I want to do the performance without the accent. Yes,
Speaker 4: just to hear what it sounds like if you just
Speaker 4: play the scene with your own voice, essentially, but with
Speaker 4: superhero energy. Yeah, just take the scene.
Speaker 6: The same notes and everything is before, Yeah, exactly, all
Speaker 6: the same notes.
Speaker 4: I just want to run it from just all page two. Ye.
Speaker 4: So will you start us off?
Speaker 2: Yeah, yes, ma'am, here we go.
Speaker 4: Ready, Yeah, that's do it.
Speaker 2: And who exactly are you?
Speaker 6: Well, I suppose it would be impolite to give you
Speaker 6: a butt woman without properly introducing myself. First. My name
Speaker 6: is Cardinal, I'm new in town, and you are.
Speaker 2: I am the blast offspring of King Thailand and the
Speaker 2: seventeenth disciple to hold the Monocle of Danubis.
Speaker 6: That sounds nice. I'm from Louisiana and my mom's name
Speaker 6: is Flow.
Speaker 2: I have studied all of the members of the Hero Crew,
Speaker 2: and you were not listed amongst their ranks.
Speaker 6: Well, yeah, that's true. Oh I love that word amongst
Speaker 6: by the way, doesn't get used nearly enough.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 6: You see, I was actually on my way here to
Speaker 6: Vector City to try out for that cool superhero team
Speaker 6: when I read the gone fishing sign on the front
Speaker 6: of their headquarters.
Speaker 2: Gone fishing.
Speaker 6: Okay, you got me. That was a lie. Now the
Speaker 6: sign actually said gone to fight some weird looking creep
Speaker 6: with a single nasty piece of glass in their bright
Speaker 6: red eye. Have you seen anything like that around here?
Speaker 2: You dare mark the Monica of d Nubis.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I dare.
Speaker 4: Nice, nice, very good, A valid read just I wanted
Speaker 4: to hear without the accent.
Speaker 3: All right, thank you, we'll be back.
Speaker 4: Okay, you didn't quite get there.
Speaker 2: I agree.
Speaker 3: Performing for the camera, I agree for the live audience,
Speaker 3: I agree. And and again it's it's a uh, it's
Speaker 3: a theater thing.
Speaker 4: It is. It is. It is typically theater actors because
Speaker 4: they're they're willing to boost the energy of things for
Speaker 4: on stage work. You get the energy for animation better.
Speaker 4: It's just that she's focusing on the wrong things.
Speaker 1: Yes, and again that's this is where the disconnect happens,
Speaker 1: because that can be taught. But that's not necessary. We're
Speaker 1: not looking for a diamond in the rough. We're looking
Speaker 1: for somebody that can jump in the booth. Day one.
Speaker 1: Let's do a run where we're gonna flip them. But
Speaker 1: what we're gonna do because we don't want to just
Speaker 1: keep going back and forth, I'd like you to say
Speaker 1: heads are tails if you would, And I'm going to
Speaker 1: be using Boy Meets World season five, which excellent Rider
Speaker 1: Strong on the cover, and we're going to see so
Speaker 1: heads will be Mia and tails will be Hailey. So
Speaker 1: heads are tails, please hails? It is heads?
Speaker 4: All right? Then?
Speaker 2: So I think that was Mia? Was it not said?
Speaker 2: All right? Let's bring Mia in every time.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I see Rider Strong's luscious locks and I
Speaker 1: cannot think of anything.
Speaker 2: All right, here we go, Hi, Miash, Hello, how are
Speaker 2: you fine? How are you? So? If you gotta do that,
Speaker 2: you gotta occasionally got to have your own sound effects
Speaker 2: when you come into the room.
Speaker 1: We are going to throw a little curveball at you,
Speaker 1: if that's okay, Yeah, yeah, And we are going to
Speaker 1: switch rolls.
Speaker 6: Nah, I get to be the villain, so you.
Speaker 2: Are the blast. We are just going to run it
Speaker 2: one time and then maybe if there's a pickup we
Speaker 2: need to do, but it is going to be quick through.
Speaker 2: You are the blast.
Speaker 1: I would also say that this is important since maybe
Speaker 1: you might not be as familiar with the material. If
Speaker 1: you do stumble the line, just stop and do the
Speaker 1: line again, so we're we're not kind of rushing through,
Speaker 1: and then you can get the performance that you want
Speaker 1: fair enough.
Speaker 5: Would you like me to Mega Guy too?
Speaker 2: Please?
Speaker 1: Okay, that would be wonderful. So yes, whatever you want
Speaker 1: to do, and we will go from there.
Speaker 6: Okay, a.
Speaker 7: End, Thus the end of Mega Guy. You know, when
Speaker 7: I came to this planet, I was told that the
Speaker 7: Hero Crew were the most powerful beings in the entire universe.
Speaker 7: I must admit that I am disappointed.
Speaker 4: There is no one.
Speaker 2: Here who can beat me. Ah well, judging by the
Speaker 2: looks of things, you're doing a wee bit of redecorating.
Speaker 7: And who exactly are you?
Speaker 2: Well, I suppose it would be impolite to give you
Speaker 2: a butt weapon without properly introducing myself. First, my name
Speaker 2: is Cardinal and I'm new in town and you.
Speaker 7: Are I am the blast, offspring of King Thailand in
Speaker 7: seventeenth disciple to hold the monocle of Danubis.
Speaker 2: That sounds nice. I'm from Louisiana. My mom's name's Flow.
Speaker 7: I have studied all the members of the Hero Crew,
Speaker 7: and you were not listed amongst their ranks.
Speaker 2: Well that's true.
Speaker 3: I mean, I guess.
Speaker 2: I love that word a monks. By the way, it
Speaker 2: doesn't get used nearly enough.
Speaker 1: You see, I was actually on my way here to
Speaker 1: Vector City to try out for that cool superhero team
Speaker 1: when I I'm gonna see I'm.
Speaker 2: Gona do that again. Well, that's true, and I love
Speaker 2: that word a monks. By the way, it does not
Speaker 2: get used nearly enough anyway.
Speaker 1: Yes, you see, I was actually on my way here
Speaker 1: to Vector City to try out for that cool superhero
Speaker 1: team when I read the gone fishing sign on the
Speaker 1: front of their headquarters.
Speaker 7: Gone fishing?
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, that's that was a lie. The sign
Speaker 2: actually said gone to fight some weird looking creep with
Speaker 2: a single nasty piece of glass in their bright red eye.
Speaker 4: You seen anyone like that around here?
Speaker 7: You damn up the monocle of danubish Yeah, dare no.
Speaker 2: Hah.
Speaker 7: That was but a taste of my power. I would
Speaker 7: have ended you, but I hope you don't mind if
Speaker 7: I make this last. I really want to savor this victory.
Speaker 2: Ah. Yeah, you gotta be the victor first their sport.
Speaker 6: How is that possible?
Speaker 5: Even at low power? You shouldn't be able to Let
Speaker 5: me try again?
Speaker 2: Yep?
Speaker 6: How is that possible? Even at low power?
Speaker 5: You shouldn't be able to stand after a blast like that.
Speaker 2: I eat a lot of wheaties that might have something
Speaker 2: to do with it.
Speaker 7: I do not understand.
Speaker 2: I do it again.
Speaker 7: I do not understand the reference.
Speaker 2: Yeah, go ahead, I'm sorry.
Speaker 7: No, I do not understand the reference.
Speaker 3: No, I imagine you wouldn't.
Speaker 2: But that's okay. Now, if you don't mind too much,
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna send you back to wherever it is
Speaker 2: you came from.
Speaker 5: I wish you the best of luck with that.
Speaker 2: What now? Why why would you wish me luck to
Speaker 2: kick your butt?
Speaker 6: I do not know well enough of this.
Speaker 2: Yeah, dah, and this should just about wrap it up.
Speaker 7: Yeah, what's it gonna be, Cardinal me or all of
Speaker 7: these people on the bridge?
Speaker 9: Hmmm?
Speaker 2: I thought so.
Speaker 3: Catch it later.
Speaker 6: Allegated goods variety a completely different character for you than
Speaker 6: what you did before.
Speaker 4: I want to do two little pickups. One is oh,
Speaker 4: page Barber, page two, You dare mock the Monocle of Danubis.
Speaker 4: I want to do three in a row, and I
Speaker 4: want to use that nice deeper part of your range
Speaker 4: that you were using right at the very beginning at
Speaker 4: this copy. I want to have the anger you're insulted,
Speaker 4: and I want to get three different versions of how
Speaker 4: dare you?
Speaker 13: Essentially three in a row already, you dare mock the
Speaker 13: Monocle of Danubis.
Speaker 7: You dare mock the Monocle of Danubis. You dare mock
Speaker 7: the Monocle of Danubis.
Speaker 4: That I love that very good. And then there was, oh, oh,
Speaker 4: the LINEY gave you trouble. I do not understand the reference.
Speaker 4: When we very first started doing the take, it was
Speaker 4: a very William Shatner read. It was I do not understand,
Speaker 4: and I like that.
Speaker 9: I liked what I was going.
Speaker 4: And then you stumbled or you didn't finish with the reference.
Speaker 2: I cut it off.
Speaker 5: I have my game blown up on a specific way.
Speaker 5: I literally cut off the last two words, so I
Speaker 5: thought that was the whole line.
Speaker 4: I was like, I get it, I get it, but
Speaker 4: I loved where you were going because it was it's
Speaker 4: not wrong for it to be a William Shatner eskue.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, please, so will would you read.
Speaker 4: Her into it? Please?
Speaker 5: With that?
Speaker 4: Might I eat a lot of and then again, I
Speaker 4: want you to do three and at least one of
Speaker 4: them with that hesitant to read you know what I mean? Yes,
Speaker 4: so he's gonna read you once. You're gonna do it
Speaker 4: three times.
Speaker 3: I eat a lot of wheaties. That might have something
Speaker 3: to do with it.
Speaker 7: I do not understand the reference. I do not understand
Speaker 7: the reference. I do not understand the reference.
Speaker 4: What did you? I like it? We'll be back with you,
Speaker 4: you bet? How fun?
Speaker 2: Totally different?
Speaker 4: Shocked me when she spoke the first line. I was like,
Speaker 4: this is a girl with a character voice. She's got
Speaker 4: a cute little voice. She's got more variety than I thought.
Speaker 3: Yeah, great, great, like teen superhero sound too.
Speaker 4: Absolutely and variety within it. You know.
Speaker 2: Well, let's see what We'll see what he can do.
Speaker 2: We'll bring Haley back in. Hey, Hey, Haley, hello, how
Speaker 2: are you all right?
Speaker 1: So we're gonna throw something at you real quick, okay,
Speaker 1: and you and I are going to switch rolls. So
Speaker 1: you're gonna be the You're gonna be the blast and
Speaker 1: I am going to be Cardinal amazing.
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, I love that.
Speaker 1: All right, So can you start with Mega Guy and
Speaker 1: we will read it straight through once?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Sure, anytime, go ahead.
Speaker 6: And thus the end of Mega Guy. You know, when
Speaker 6: I came to this planet, I was told that the
Speaker 6: Hero Crew were the most powerful beings in this entire universe.
Speaker 6: I must admit that I'm disappointed. There is no one
Speaker 6: here who can best me.
Speaker 2: Judge you. By the looks of things, you're doing a
Speaker 2: wee bit at redecorating.
Speaker 6: And who exactly are you?
Speaker 2: Well, I suppose it would be impolite to give you
Speaker 2: a butt whoopon without properly introducing myself. First, my name
Speaker 2: is Cardinal. I'm new in town, and you are.
Speaker 8: I am the blast spring of King Thailod and seventeenth
Speaker 8: disciple to hold the monocle of the New bas Well.
Speaker 2: That sure sounds nice. I'm from Louisiana. My mom's name's Flow.
Speaker 6: I studied all the members of the Hero Crew, and
Speaker 6: you were not listed amongst their ranks.
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, that's true, and I love that word amongst
Speaker 2: By the way, it doesn't get used nearly enough. You see,
Speaker 2: I was actually on my way here to Vector City
Speaker 2: to try out for that cool superhero team. When I
Speaker 2: read the gun fishing sign in the front of their headquarters.
Speaker 6: Gone fishing.
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, that was a lot, and actually said gona
Speaker 1: fight some weird looking creep with a single nasty piece
Speaker 1: of glass in their bright red eye.
Speaker 2: Seen anyone like that around here?
Speaker 6: You dah mock the monocle of Denubis?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I dare a. Oh ah, that was but a
Speaker 2: taste of my power.
Speaker 6: I would have ended you, but I hope you don't
Speaker 6: mind if I make this last. I really want to
Speaker 6: savor this victory.
Speaker 2: Noah, you gotta be the victor first their sport.
Speaker 6: Is this possible?
Speaker 2: Even at low power?
Speaker 6: You shouldn't be able to stand after a blast like that.
Speaker 2: I eat a lot of wheaties. That might have something
Speaker 2: to do with it. I do not understand that reference. No, No,
Speaker 2: I imagine you wouldn't. But that's okay. If you don't
Speaker 2: mind too much, I'm just gonna send you back to
Speaker 2: wherever it is you came from.
Speaker 6: I wish you the best of luck with that.
Speaker 2: Why Why would you wish me luck to kick your butt?
Speaker 6: I don't know, I don't know.
Speaker 9: Yeah, and it should just about wrap it up.
Speaker 6: Mm hmmm, well is it going to be a cardinal
Speaker 6: or all those people on the bridge? I thought so,
Speaker 6: catchu later?
Speaker 12: Really good, Hailey Good usually play the bad guy instantaneously.
Speaker 4: You thought bad guy British.
Speaker 6: And I thought bad guy Alien.
Speaker 4: It just works.
Speaker 3: Just look at everyone in the Star Wars world.
Speaker 4: I don't know where that works so well, but it does.
Speaker 4: There was something you did that I want to just
Speaker 4: do as a pickup this stage one. Yes, a blast
Speaker 4: at there's no one here who can best me. I
Speaker 4: want to do a nice, loud version of that, and
Speaker 4: then a big insane signature laugh for this character, which
Speaker 4: gets interrupted by the impacts. You kind of did that naturally,
Speaker 4: and I want to just make sure that we do
Speaker 4: it where it doesn't sound it kind of just happened,
Speaker 4: but you actually intended so yeah, and then impacted.
Speaker 8: Okay, okay, yes, there is no one here who confessed me.
Speaker 4: Do it again. That's the right idea. A little bit faster,
Speaker 4: a little bit louder. I know you're trying to work
Speaker 4: with the microphone there, but you can do it. So
Speaker 4: it's it's really I want you to support the voice more.
Speaker 4: It's not so much volume as heft presence. Yes, get
Speaker 4: let me do all by itself. Just do your evil laugh. Okay, okay, great,
Speaker 4: so do it with the line now and the impacts after.
Speaker 8: There is no one here who confess me.
Speaker 4: Good. Everybody has to have an evil laugh who wants
Speaker 4: to work in animation. Of course, very good, well.
Speaker 2: Done, Thank you very much. We'll be right back with you.
Speaker 4: Than you, sarbye.
Speaker 1: I wanted to have the best evil laugh in the world,
Speaker 1: and then again I did Return of the Joker, and
Speaker 1: I was like, I'm not.
Speaker 2: Even gonna try anymore. So better I thought so too.
Speaker 1: This is also, i mean, the perfect, the quintessential example
Speaker 1: of how important casting is, because you know, she it
Speaker 1: was a much better villain than she was a superhero.
Speaker 4: Absolutely, so that couts to be part of the question too.
Speaker 4: When you're casting something, you know what role you want
Speaker 4: them for. Ideally, and just like what happened with Clancy Brown,
Speaker 4: Clancy came in to read for Superman, did the voice
Speaker 4: of Superman? Would you read for Lex Luthorn? Yeah, that's
Speaker 4: your acting was brilliant on Superman, but you certainly sound
Speaker 4: like a Lex Luthor to me. Yeah, of course, you
Speaker 4: know it did so because you're looking at a more
Speaker 4: general thing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, do you have an opinion, I'm I'm I'm actually
Speaker 1: shocked with my opinion. I thought Haley was one of
Speaker 1: the stronger ones in the competition, and I still think
Speaker 1: she's pretty wonderful.
Speaker 2: I thought Mia killed it today too.
Speaker 1: I thought she was did everything and just like you,
Speaker 1: the second she opened her mouth to do the blast
Speaker 1: and it was a completely different. I'm also not only
Speaker 1: did that shock me, but I'm also thinking about the
Speaker 1: animation business where it is nowadays, and I think with
Speaker 1: her exuberance and with that tone and her just general tambour,
Speaker 1: I think she'd work all the time.
Speaker 4: I do too. I mean, we asked her to do
Speaker 4: two really different types of characters, one a young superhero,
Speaker 4: the other is an evil villains, and she I think
Speaker 4: was able to accomplish both of them. Whereas Haley I
Speaker 4: think was very good as the villain. But I thought
Speaker 4: her superhero, which you know, just listening to her talking
Speaker 4: you would have thought would have been better, but it
Speaker 4: just wasn't as good.
Speaker 1: So I agree, I think Mia, I don't disagree with
Speaker 1: you at all. I'm I'm actually kind of shocked, but
Speaker 1: I agree. I think Mia just absolutely crushed it today,
Speaker 1: and I thought Haley was a little bit in her
Speaker 1: head and I think maybe trying too much.
Speaker 2: And unfortunately this is you get.
Speaker 1: You know, sometimes you have you don't have a great day,
Speaker 1: and that's you know. It's one of the things we've
Speaker 1: talked about on this on this show is that.
Speaker 2: All actors have a bad day in the booth. I
Speaker 2: have them all the time.
Speaker 4: You just got on right, and oftentimes driving home the
Speaker 4: performance that they give out loud in the car is
Speaker 4: tend to better than what they did.
Speaker 1: And it is the It is the the actor equivalent
Speaker 1: of getting into a fight with somebody and driving home
Speaker 1: going that's what I should have said, it is, I
Speaker 1: have such a good comeback.
Speaker 2: Now, it's like, exactly exactly.
Speaker 1: So I agree with you. I think I think you know,
Speaker 1: Mia won the day. I really do think she won
Speaker 1: the day. Okay, great, well this and now we do
Speaker 1: the most awful thing in the world.
Speaker 4: I hate you have to tell them live now. Yeah,
Speaker 4: so can we tell them what to work on?
Speaker 2: You can, absolutely, I think, I think, because again, Haley
Speaker 2: is also moving to Los Angeles, and she's obviously talented
Speaker 2: to have gotten this far.
Speaker 1: Her villain was great. I mean it really was. Her
Speaker 1: villain was muy. I think you said it exactly right.
Speaker 1: Her villain was much better than her superhero, whereas both
Speaker 1: of MIA's were good, which is why I think she
Speaker 1: won the day. But okay, so why don't we bring
Speaker 1: Haley in?
Speaker 2: This is the worst?
Speaker 1: Hey Haley, how are you? It's We're good. So it
Speaker 1: has been you know, it's been a rough day. It's
Speaker 1: been a long day. There's a lot going on, and
Speaker 1: we are we are to the absolute knit picking stages
Speaker 1: of the contest. Everybody's good.
Speaker 3: So unfortunately this is as far as you're going to
Speaker 3: be going.
Speaker 6: Okay, but.
Speaker 2: You're great, I mean legitimately very very good. Uh and
Speaker 2: and a wonderful actor.
Speaker 1: So when when you're moving out to Los Angeles, I
Speaker 1: think you're going to be happy that you're coming here.
Speaker 4: I absolutely encourage you to continue to pursue this because
Speaker 4: if you do, you're going to get hired. You just
Speaker 4: need to continue to work on. Don't be nervous about
Speaker 4: or don't avoid taking classes voiceover class. And I say
Speaker 4: that because even the best voiceover actors who are making
Speaker 4: bazillions of dollars can benefit from a good. Oh voiceover class. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 4: it gives you an opportunity to do this stuff more,
Speaker 4: whereas if you're not getting hired and not getting auditions
Speaker 4: right away, you'll at least be, you know, practicing with
Speaker 4: your instrument and learning how to do it more. You
Speaker 4: had some really good stuff. Some of your instincts were
Speaker 4: very good. I think you might agree that your villain
Speaker 4: villainess was better than your hero. That said, I think
Speaker 4: you absolutely can do the hero roles too. I just
Speaker 4: think you need to find a better place for that
Speaker 4: in your vocal radio and and and and don't worry
Speaker 4: so much about performing it for the audience as much
Speaker 4: as performing it for that microphone.
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's the that's that theater background.
Speaker 1: I know, if that was your your achilles heel today,
Speaker 1: if I'm totally anes, that's what it was. Is that
Speaker 1: there's it's it's very different to perform just for your
Speaker 1: microphone than it is to perform either for the camera
Speaker 1: or for an audience. And and it's just you have
Speaker 1: to you boil Kevin Conroy. You used to tell me,
Speaker 1: this is your audience. This, this right right in front
Speaker 1: of you, is the only thing you need to impress.
Speaker 1: So and I did.
Speaker 3: I think it took a little bit away from your
Speaker 3: performance this today.
Speaker 1: And the only reason I'm telling you that is because
Speaker 1: I know that I'm going to be seeing you out
Speaker 1: in LA and I know you're going to be working,
Speaker 1: and I know you're going to be a voice actor
Speaker 1: as well, and I think you you're talented as hell.
Speaker 1: And we said the top sixteen all could have been signed.
Speaker 1: The final four really could all be signed. So I
Speaker 1: see the absolute probability of some agent somewhere listening to
Speaker 1: just what.
Speaker 2: You did today and saying we've got to sign this person.
Speaker 1: So you're gonna be have Yeah, no, you're you're going
Speaker 1: to be having an agent absolutely, and.
Speaker 2: You know, good luck out here. You know, look us up.
Speaker 2: We're gonna we're out here, so look us up.
Speaker 1: And you got you got a friend out in LA
Speaker 1: so you're not alone out here already, which is cool.
Speaker 6: Yeah, No, that's I just want to say thank you
Speaker 6: so much. I went from being a full time theater
Speaker 6: actor for seven years to not doing any performance for
Speaker 6: the last three and sort of applying for this on
Speaker 6: a whim literally the day it was due I heard
Speaker 6: about it, and getting to do this and to get
Speaker 6: back in the sort of performance muscles. I know this
Speaker 6: isn't something it's always something I've been interested in but
Speaker 6: haven't had a chance to do yet. So yes, classes
Speaker 6: are top of my list. But it really has given
Speaker 6: me sort of the confidence push to like, hey, I can't,
Speaker 6: I can't do this. It's it's where it's trying for.
Speaker 6: So yeah, so thank you, thank you, thank you, thank
Speaker 6: you so much for this.
Speaker 2: So much firing place. And it's the.
Speaker 4: Right place to be if you want to pursue voiceover.
Speaker 4: It just the right place to be drawing out here.
Speaker 6: It's got a cute little apartment that has a nice
Speaker 6: little nook that I'm going to turn into a whisper room.
Speaker 6: It's going to be on practice.
Speaker 4: Every day, just like whatever physical exercise you do every day.
Speaker 4: Put that as part of your program. Every day you
Speaker 4: work on your voice work.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Absolutely, I think you'll do really well the best. That's
Speaker 4: the best of luck to you.
Speaker 6: Thank you so much.
Speaker 1: And I know this sounds weird to say, but congratuates
Speaker 1: you went from forty five hundred to number three.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 6: Yeah, so she's insane and actually good. Three is my
Speaker 6: lucky number.
Speaker 2: I have three.
Speaker 6: Three tattoos.
Speaker 2: So here you go stilver.
Speaker 3: Lighting, and we'll see we will be seeing you in
Speaker 3: a booth someday, I promise.
Speaker 6: Thank you, so so thank you, hale enjoy the rest
Speaker 6: of it, bite you joy.
Speaker 4: She took very well.
Speaker 2: She did.
Speaker 1: She's and that's another sign of being an actor. You
Speaker 1: hear no ten thousand times. But again she made it
Speaker 1: from like forty five hundred number three. That's pretty great.
Speaker 2: All right, Mia, let's bring me in. Hi Mia, Hi
Speaker 2: hoi a yah, I'm fine. How are you?
Speaker 4: Yes?
Speaker 1: So you know it's been the competition is getting very stiff. Yes,
Speaker 1: and everybody is so good, and we come down to
Speaker 1: the little kind of nitpicky things and it was a
Speaker 1: rough day today and I just want to say that
Speaker 1: I'm sorry that you are going to be coming to
Speaker 1: the finals.
Speaker 6: No, you're joking.
Speaker 2: You are coming to the final.
Speaker 1: I know.
Speaker 2: So congratulations, you earned it. You did really well today.
Speaker 2: So much.
Speaker 4: You listen, you pay attention, you follow directions, you absorb
Speaker 4: that information and you bring it right back out. And
Speaker 4: you're more versatile than I even expected. When I first
Speaker 4: heard you do it your younger voice, I thought, Okay,
Speaker 4: this is an actress with a character voice. Her voice
Speaker 4: is always going to sound like that. We're going to
Speaker 4: always hear that. But when you then did the villain,
Speaker 4: it was like, well where did that voice come from?
Speaker 4: So well done. Keep learning to expand your repertoire so
Speaker 4: that you can use that deep lower fall part of
Speaker 4: your voice as well as the younger, very natural sounding
Speaker 4: kid voices. And I'm sure you know this. Kid voices
Speaker 4: that are done by women have a benefit that you
Speaker 4: don't age out of it. In other words, the hundreds
Speaker 4: of kids that have Charlie Brown on their resume because
Speaker 4: there were there was a new Charlie Brown every time
Speaker 4: a kid came out and his voice changed and he
Speaker 4: couldn't do it anymore. So women have a real advantage
Speaker 4: that way. And so what's lovely is that you can
Speaker 4: do that. And you also could do the mom voys
Speaker 4: in that same cartoon, ye and you know the waitress
Speaker 4: and not sound like the same person. Congratulations, well done,
Speaker 4: well done.
Speaker 2: Top two? What top two? Uh Mia? Remind me one
Speaker 2: more time? How old are you?
Speaker 7: I am nineteen.
Speaker 2: Nineteen years.
Speaker 1: So congratulations, go and celebrate you got you know you
Speaker 1: are in the finals of the Super Awesome Contest to
Speaker 1: become the next big voice actor.
Speaker 4: Congratulations, congratulations, Thank you for a good work, Thank you
Speaker 4: for a great direction. My pleasure.
