Speaker 1: Hi Will, How are you doing today?
Speaker 2: I am day three of the flu, which has nicely
Speaker 2: settled in my stomach, which is fun.
Speaker 1: Settled in your stomach? Where did it start?
Speaker 2: It started? It's so funny. It started in my legs.
Speaker 2: I start, I thought my legs are super achy and sore,
Speaker 2: and I thought that it was from running. And then
Speaker 2: I had oysters, which I almost never do, so then
Speaker 2: I thought I had food poisoning, and then it's just
Speaker 2: been three or four days of just solid flu.
Speaker 3: So yeah, no, it was it started in your legs,
Speaker 3: Like is this like that sounds like something that happens
Speaker 3: with like the day of polio, right.
Speaker 4: Is that?
Speaker 2: No, it started just my legs being super sore and achy.
Speaker 2: That was the first kind of symptom that I had.
Speaker 2: And then I was just kind of aching everywhere, and
Speaker 2: then yeah, it's been it's been fun.
Speaker 1: That's not fun.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry. So how are you?
Speaker 1: I'm fine?
Speaker 2: Yeah. Forever reason I get up and run out of
Speaker 2: the room as we're recording, that's the only reason why.
Speaker 2: It has nothing to do with you. Because you look
Speaker 2: beautiful today, well you always look beautiful, but look are
Speaker 2: you all done up?
Speaker 1: I am all gussied up you are.
Speaker 2: I won't ask why in case it's something that you're
Speaker 2: not allowed to talk about, but it looks like it's
Speaker 2: an interview.
Speaker 3: It's an interview I think for some Israeli talk show
Speaker 3: or something, so that's fun. But yeah, I mean there's
Speaker 3: two Christie's, as you know Will, there's the makeup Christie
Speaker 3: and then there's just normal Christie.
Speaker 1: But makeup Christie is a whole other level.
Speaker 2: I would argue there's more than two from how long
Speaker 2: I've known you, but that's but those are the two
Speaker 2: that you present. But I've known several Christie, like there
Speaker 2: are several Wills. I think that's I think that's normal
Speaker 2: of most people. I think that's normal for most people.
Speaker 2: But we are all here once again for this super
Speaker 2: awesome contest. The voice actor.
Speaker 3: Over the weekend, I saw the Mario brother movie, the
Speaker 3: Super Mario Brother Movie.
Speaker 2: How was it look I thought of you.
Speaker 3: I thought of what we originally had said about the
Speaker 3: general conflict of celebrities sort of coming into the space
Speaker 3: of the animation world. And I tried to be as
Speaker 3: like non biased as possible, because as a voice actor,
Speaker 3: I think you your mind tends to go there.
Speaker 5: Sure, And like I think that I think that these
Speaker 5: actors who are approaching these characters are aware of how
Speaker 5: they are taking the jobs from other people, because it.
Speaker 1: Seems to me that they are making more of.
Speaker 3: An effort to act, you know what I mean, not
Speaker 3: just like portray themselves. Sure, but it definitely seems like
Speaker 3: it almost seems like in tandem with the casting itself
Speaker 3: saying to themselves, well, we do need to make sure
Speaker 3: that this because there's so much criticism from the fans.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know that.
Speaker 3: I think they answer to the fans, and the fans
Speaker 3: are the ones that are so you know, almost like
Speaker 3: they police the community too right that they want the
Speaker 3: top quality, They want the top quality voice talent. And
Speaker 3: I don't even think they care if that's really you know,
Speaker 3: a celebrity actor or not.
Speaker 2: No, they don't at all. They want the best they
Speaker 2: can do. And as I've said, every actor, you know,
Speaker 2: a list actor, to the people that are just you know,
Speaker 2: really trying to get there, everybody should try voiceover because
Speaker 2: it's a ton of fun. So I'm not saying that,
Speaker 2: you know, somebody shouldn't go and be a void, but
Speaker 2: I think as an a list actor, you you have
Speaker 2: the power to say, Hey, I definitely will do this role,
Speaker 2: but I want to make sure at least fifty percent
Speaker 2: of the cast are just voiceover actors and that's how
Speaker 2: everybody works. So but speaking of that, we're gonna find
Speaker 2: the next one. We are in the middle of finding
Speaker 2: the next big one on the Super Awesome Contest to
Speaker 2: find the next Big Voice Actor. You know, we always
Speaker 2: like to start with our thank you shout outs, and
Speaker 2: we certainly want to think everybody who's helped make this
Speaker 2: contest possible. From our friends over at Prime Video, our
Speaker 2: friends over ceesd are friends over at Critical Role, don't
Speaker 2: forget the check out season two of Vox mocking at
Speaker 2: Out Now are our friends at iHeart everybody, our parent
Speaker 2: company at iHeart everybody who's really worked and helped to
Speaker 2: make this happen. We are getting great feedback from the fans.
Speaker 2: A friend of mine who does another podcast called mash Matters,
Speaker 2: which I love so much, which is just all about
Speaker 2: and I've actually gone on and just talked about mash.
Speaker 2: Can you believe that he hit me up the other
Speaker 2: day with a picture of him listening to episode four
Speaker 2: of the contest, and he just wrote he said, I
Speaker 2: cannot believe how emotionally invested in this I am. He's like,
Speaker 2: this is such a great show and I'm so emotionally
Speaker 2: invested in the contest. I cannot wait to see who wins.
Speaker 2: So shout out to Ryan Patrick for listening to the
Speaker 2: podcast and loving it. And I think people are invested
Speaker 2: and they want to know who's going to win. And
Speaker 2: that me too.
Speaker 4: Me too.
Speaker 2: We've had some amazing, amazing, amazing celebrity guest judges come
Speaker 2: in and today is no exception. Who do we have
Speaker 2: joining us once again, Christy.
Speaker 3: Well, I'm really excited that we have Brock Powell on
Speaker 3: today with us. They are going to be an amazing judge.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they've been on before and Brock was an awesome
Speaker 2: judge in the past, so well, an awesome guest in
Speaker 2: the past, and we asked them to join us and
Speaker 2: here they are, so I can't wait. We should bring
Speaker 2: them on. Hey, Hey, Brock, Brock, thank you so much
Speaker 2: for joining us as our celebrity guest judge today. This
Speaker 2: is the super awesome contest to become the next big
Speaker 2: Voice actor. We are really excited that you're here.
Speaker 6: I am so so stoked to help.
Speaker 4: Judge feels like a weird word, but to adjudicate, I
Speaker 4: guess adjudicate feels less scared.
Speaker 2: Adjudicator, Okay, a judicator you're helping to adjudicate. I like
Speaker 2: judge because I think it's as exactly what it is.
Speaker 2: You are judging who's going to be next. And by
Speaker 2: the way, whoever you don't vote for going through is
Speaker 2: not going to be a fan of yours anymore. That's
Speaker 2: just how it works. That's it, that's it done. That's
Speaker 2: actually not how it is. We've got the best contestants
Speaker 2: in the world. One of the things we talk about
Speaker 2: is that it's been so hard for us to adjudicate.
Speaker 2: I will use that word, because everybody's so good. You know,
Speaker 2: we went from forty two hundred down to sixteen, and
Speaker 2: we said right from the beginning that the sixteen that
Speaker 2: made the finals, all of them could be signed. I
Speaker 2: mean really all of them could be signed. So it's
Speaker 2: we've been picking has been really really difficult. I mean
Speaker 2: really really difficult. There are some people that obviously they
Speaker 2: it's like the other contestant kind of runs into a
Speaker 2: buzzsaw because they're so good. But it's rare most weeks.
Speaker 2: It's really really close.
Speaker 4: Yeah. Wow, Well I'm I'm just I'm so excited to
Speaker 4: be here and I can't wait to hear and see
Speaker 4: what we what. We haven't started that, so it's going
Speaker 4: to be great.
Speaker 2: Well, we're going to jump right into it. So I
Speaker 2: don't know if you've been listening, but so what we're
Speaker 2: doing this for this first round to get to the
Speaker 2: from the Sweet sixteen, which is a name I came
Speaker 2: up with, to the Elite Eight, which is another name
Speaker 2: I came up with, you go to the Final four.
Speaker 1: I didn't catch.
Speaker 2: By the way, for everybody out there, these are all
Speaker 2: basketball terms for March madness. I came up with none
Speaker 2: of this, but hilarious going from the Sweet sixteen to
Speaker 2: the Elite Eight. The first game we are going to
Speaker 2: play is we play a game called by the Numbers.
Speaker 2: So what we're going to be doing is we bring
Speaker 2: our contestants on and brack. If it's okay with you,
Speaker 2: you are going to be picking random numbers from four categories.
Speaker 2: The categories that we have are size, what are you, age,
Speaker 2: and a wacky attribute. With the numbers that you pick,
Speaker 2: a character will be created and the contestants will have to.
Speaker 2: They've been given two lines of dialogue that we're written.
Speaker 2: They've had a night to study these two lines of dialogue.
Speaker 2: We will go through a couple characters with these two
Speaker 2: lines of dialogue, and then the third round and final
Speaker 2: round is a line they have not yet seen. So
Speaker 2: it is a cold reading with a new character that
Speaker 2: we've created. It is a ton of fun. It leads
Speaker 2: to some nutty and wacky voices, and it really is
Speaker 2: a blast to kind of see kind of who is
Speaker 2: doing what and where? So we can't we love it?
Speaker 4: No, this is great, And I mean, yeah, I have
Speaker 4: been listening and it sounds like you've been covering all
Speaker 4: the principles of what you know we voice actors deal
Speaker 4: with like on the job all the time. And I'm excited.
Speaker 2: Let's throw them in here we go. So, I think
Speaker 2: our first contestant, we don't know who came in first.
Speaker 2: We always like to see who came in first, and
Speaker 2: I think our first contestant usually pops up here. Yes,
Speaker 2: our first contestant is going to be Paul from Pennsylvania. Yay,
Speaker 2: Hey Paul, how are you hi?
Speaker 4: I'm good.
Speaker 2: Oh, listen to that voice right off the bast I
Speaker 2: love that.
Speaker 1: Thank you, my goodness.
Speaker 2: So, Paul, welcome to the super awesome Contests to become
Speaker 2: the next big voice actor. Congratulations on making the top sixteen.
Speaker 7: Thank you so much.
Speaker 2: It's who look at that? I'm telling you that is crazy.
Speaker 2: I'm well, this is Christy and our celebrity guest judge
Speaker 2: for the day is a guest adjudicator, is what we're calling.
Speaker 2: That is Brock Powell, and Brock you know, is from
Speaker 2: Hamster and Gretel and a whole bunch of other stuff.
Speaker 2: So Brock is a voiceover actor extraordinary and they're going
Speaker 2: to be helping us out today with the whole rounds
Speaker 2: and everything going on and playing Round one, which is
Speaker 2: of course called by the numbers. But before we get
Speaker 2: into that, Paul, can you tell us a little bit
Speaker 2: about your journey. What made you decide to take a
Speaker 2: shot at becoming a voiceover actor?
Speaker 7: Sure? Sure, So. I was a theater kid in high
Speaker 7: school and I still remember the moment that I knew
Speaker 7: performing was was the career path for me what I
Speaker 7: wanted to do. So I decided to pursue musical theater.
Speaker 7: Took steps to pursue that. I auditioned for colleges. First
Speaker 7: time didn't go so well. Second time got into a
Speaker 7: good school, and while I was there, I became more
Speaker 7: aware of a voiceover as a potential career path and
Speaker 7: it really intrigued me, you know. And around the same time,
Speaker 7: I also I found critical role and all the voice
Speaker 7: actors on there are sure so inspiring.
Speaker 2: So here you are.
Speaker 7: Yeah, it was for me.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, is this your real voice? I can't believe it.
Speaker 2: Wow, huh, that is awesome. All right, Paul, Well you
Speaker 2: were awesome. You were here first, so we started by
Speaker 2: introducing you, but we are going to now introduce our
Speaker 2: second guest. We will be back to you to start
Speaker 2: round one. Do you have your two lines of dialogue?
Speaker 4: Yes?
Speaker 2: I do, all right, perfectly. We'll be right back with
Speaker 2: you in one second. Paul, Thank you so much.
Speaker 4: Wow.
Speaker 2: Well, guys, I almost wish we weren't playing by the
Speaker 2: numbers this week and we were, you know, playing our
Speaker 2: next game, which I'm not going to tell you what
Speaker 2: that is, but we'll get into that later. But wow,
Speaker 2: how about that rock? What do you think of that?
Speaker 2: Right off the bat?
Speaker 8: First impressions, Well, one, I think the natural voice, in
Speaker 8: the natural instrument of an act is always super important,
Speaker 8: but the personality is always what we're looking for.
Speaker 6: And Paul just seems like such a sweet human being, So.
Speaker 4: Can he also narrate my life exactly exactly?
Speaker 2: Brock wakes up in the morning, exactly this morning, they
Speaker 2: walked to the bathroom. Yeah, no, that's perfect. Love that
Speaker 2: all right. Let's bring in our second contestant. Who is
Speaker 2: Haley from Texas? From Austin, Texas, No way, yes, which
Speaker 2: I think we know.
Speaker 1: Is my neighbor.
Speaker 2: Hi, Haley, how are you.
Speaker 4: Esa? I know?
Speaker 9: Hi?
Speaker 10: I saw I saw you post somewhere about like a
Speaker 10: nail place recently, and I was like, I've always wanted
Speaker 10: to go there.
Speaker 1: Oh, you should definitely go there. Look at look at
Speaker 1: the merged very cool. Yes I do. I do my
Speaker 1: own at the moment. But they're gorgeous.
Speaker 10: They're they're not as fun and fabulous as like flowers.
Speaker 2: I would show you my nails, but you would think
Speaker 2: there was something wrong with me us. Haley, welcome to
Speaker 2: the show.
Speaker 11: Thank you.
Speaker 2: I'm well. That's Christy and Brock Powell is our celebrity
Speaker 2: adjudicator for the day. They have said adjudicator because that
Speaker 2: is the way we have to go from now on.
Speaker 1: I love it's like coming up, there's an adjudicator and.
Speaker 6: It's very john Wick girl. Absolutely, it makes.
Speaker 10: You sound very like like it's it's legit.
Speaker 2: It also took some of it. It takes some of
Speaker 2: the what did you call it? It was the I
Speaker 2: don't know, the onus off of like you're you're not
Speaker 2: judging somebody, You're helping to move them to the next and.
Speaker 6: Yeah about momentum.
Speaker 4: But also, my powdered wig is at the drag cleaners,
Speaker 4: so if it was here, I would absolutely be a judge.
Speaker 2: Is that is that? How do you actually dry clean
Speaker 2: a powdered wig? Is that how that works?
Speaker 4: Well, maybe that's why it's taking so long.
Speaker 2: That could be.
Speaker 1: Wouldn't that just get.
Speaker 2: I have no welcome and congratulations now before we get
Speaker 2: into round one very quickly, what made you want to
Speaker 2: become a voiceover actor?
Speaker 1: Well, I I sort of do.
Speaker 10: Regular acting, which is a horrible way putting it, but
Speaker 10: I've done stage acting for my whole life.
Speaker 9: They've been living in the UK.
Speaker 1: For the last like decade or so, and.
Speaker 10: I've been doing immersive theater and cabaret over there, and
Speaker 10: then you know the apocalypse hit and theater had to
Speaker 10: close down, and not only that, but I lost my visa,
Speaker 10: so I had to come back to the US.
Speaker 11: And come up with something to do.
Speaker 10: That you know, was artistically fulfilling and maybe at some
Speaker 10: point made some money. And voiceover had always been in
Speaker 10: the back of my head because I'm a video game
Speaker 10: kid and an animation kid, as I'm sure probably all
Speaker 10: of was involved in this R because it's wonderful, of course,
Speaker 10: and I had done a couple of classes and stuff
Speaker 10: in the past, and I have all the equipment for singing,
Speaker 10: so I just went you know what. It had been
Speaker 10: in my head as like a when the time comes,
Speaker 10: when I have a minute, when I'm settled, I'll look
Speaker 10: into t VO. And then finally the world had kind
Speaker 10: of stopped and I was like, well, now's the time.
Speaker 10: So I took a couple more classes, and I sent
Speaker 10: out a bunch of auditions on ACX to do audiobook narration.
Speaker 9: I said, I think I sent out.
Speaker 10: Like nine auditions and I booked like eight of them,
Speaker 10: and I was like, okay, well, there's the next year
Speaker 10: of my life learning how to do audio books. So
Speaker 10: that was sort of what I did for a while,
Speaker 10: and now I'm loving it and really ready to kind
Speaker 10: of do the the even more funds.
Speaker 2: Right, but you're not refled, right, you don't have you
Speaker 2: don't have a rep. Okay, good, so then you can
Speaker 2: come into the contest, which is good. Don't worry.
Speaker 10: I read I read the rules like I've only been
Speaker 10: here in the US for a couple of years, back
Speaker 10: in the US for a couple years, and I haven't
Speaker 10: actually been worked professionally over here.
Speaker 2: Okay, Well, here we go, Well welcome, Here we go,
Speaker 2: and your fellow contestant actually got here first, so we
Speaker 2: are going to be starting with them, but we will
Speaker 2: come right back to you for round one. Do you
Speaker 2: have your two lines ready?
Speaker 12: All right there?
Speaker 2: All right, here we go. We'll be right back with you, Haley.
Speaker 2: Here we go. We're bringing Paul back in, all right,
Speaker 2: and we are going to be starting round one. There
Speaker 2: he is, okay, Paul, Round one, Round one of are
Speaker 2: wonderful by the numbers contest, as you know, Paul. For
Speaker 2: everybody out there listening, we are going to be selecting,
Speaker 2: and by we I mean Brock is going to be
Speaker 2: selecting a character for you based on four different categories. Size,
Speaker 2: what are you age and a wacky attribute? And then
Speaker 2: you will read the line of dialogue in the character created. So, Brock,
Speaker 2: if you would please a number between one and six.
Speaker 4: We're gonna go with five.
Speaker 2: Well, five, And now a number between one and twelve.
Speaker 6: We're gonna go too.
Speaker 2: And a number between one and seven.
Speaker 6: Ooh three.
Speaker 2: And finally, please a number between one and eleven.
Speaker 4: All right, Paul, we're gonna go to eleven.
Speaker 1: Okay, Christy, what are we ready for this?
Speaker 3: You're a tiny cat who's ten years old and you're
Speaker 3: an athletic coach. Oh okay, so you're an athletic coach,
Speaker 3: you're ten years old and you're a tiny cat.
Speaker 7: All right?
Speaker 1: Anything before this? Just let him go for it.
Speaker 2: I think we just let him go break your break
Speaker 2: your voice, Paul, line one, at your pleasure, please.
Speaker 7: All right, lather rinse, repeat, lather rinse repeat. It's been
Speaker 7: three weeks in this shower. Someone.
Speaker 2: Okay, Brock, do you have any notes?
Speaker 4: Okay? So off the bat? Some risks.
Speaker 6: I love the tape, but since it's a cat, maybe.
Speaker 4: It's riskers like whiskers. I do a lot of creature work,
Speaker 4: and so I really appreciate when someone takes the because
Speaker 4: a lot of animals talking. Animation obviously really kind of
Speaker 4: hard to watch a show without any talking at all.
Speaker 4: But I love when we pepper in the things that
Speaker 4: make the animal the animal, and so the vocalizations were
Speaker 4: really great, really great choice there. And also just the
Speaker 4: cadence of the voice felt very cat like to me,
Speaker 4: in the way that we have quite a few cats
Speaker 4: at our house, and so the way the cats often
Speaker 4: you know, perr and the ebb and the flow. It
Speaker 4: felt very flowy. So that was the first thing. The
Speaker 4: second thing was I loved the risk of taking the
Speaker 4: pitch up because obviously we're thinking ten year old and
Speaker 4: we're thinking tiny. I think it was a great choice
Speaker 4: if you, if you were to have a second take
Speaker 4: or a second opportunity. One thing that's always kind of
Speaker 4: interesting is taking so ten years old in human years
Speaker 4: maybe different than ten years old in catyres, because a
Speaker 4: ten year old cat is actually kind of old, right,
Speaker 4: So there might be an opportunity to do something kind
Speaker 4: of unexpected, which is always what I think as artists
Speaker 4: we're looking to do, which is to entertain and surprise ourselves.
Speaker 4: But overall, I really loved the interpretation of the first pass,
Speaker 4: and I thought it was really really fun.
Speaker 2: Christy, Well, are you going to say no?
Speaker 3: That's why I wanted to say something before, But I'm
Speaker 3: glad we waited it. It is a recurring concept of
Speaker 3: ten years old. Do you play it in animal years
Speaker 3: or do you play it in the actual or do
Speaker 3: you play it for real?
Speaker 1: But you know, and we always say, you make the
Speaker 1: as actors.
Speaker 3: You make the bold choice, and it's showing people that
Speaker 3: you can go big is great because then you can
Speaker 3: always scale back, right. It's a lot harder for them
Speaker 3: to pull it out of you. But I mean, I
Speaker 3: personally loved that. I even loved the hiss at the end.
Speaker 3: Usually we have the curaks our contestants to incorporate that,
Speaker 3: and I mean I almost wonder if he did. I mean,
Speaker 3: are we doing another take two for him? It would
Speaker 3: just be for fun. I would think for him to
Speaker 3: really lean into the cat part of it.
Speaker 1: But I think it was great.
Speaker 2: The only thing I would add is, and I know this,
Speaker 2: I don't even know how I would give this note.
Speaker 2: I would just add I'd like to hear a little
Speaker 2: bit more of the athletic coach h That's right.
Speaker 1: I totally forgot about that.
Speaker 2: I don't even know how you would incorporate that, but
Speaker 2: I'd love to hear a little bit more of the
Speaker 2: athletic coach. But that being said, I like the rest
Speaker 2: of the notes too. But it was a great first
Speaker 2: Take good choices, and let's give you another pass and
Speaker 2: see what happens. So Paul Uh once again, line one,
Speaker 2: actual pleasure, lather.
Speaker 7: Rinse, repeat, lava, rinse repeat. It's been three weeks in
Speaker 7: this shower.
Speaker 13: Someone helped me.
Speaker 2: That was great, good choices. We will be right back
Speaker 2: with your really good adjustments.
Speaker 1: I thought he's got the confidence too. I think he
Speaker 1: must be.
Speaker 3: Both of them seem very confident and capable, and that's
Speaker 3: really wonderful.
Speaker 2: You can tell us from theater.
Speaker 4: Absolutely yeah. Background really really helps, and I hope everyone
Speaker 4: listening at home, you know, at least with these two
Speaker 4: contestants today, and you have that stage theatrical background.
Speaker 6: But what's interesting is where you come from theater.
Speaker 4: I find often in the medium of voiceover, people forget
Speaker 4: how much heavy lifting you have to do because you're
Speaker 4: creating the set and your scene partner and your costume,
Speaker 4: and so you're looking to create all those vocal dynamics
Speaker 4: that when you're on.
Speaker 6: The stage you just have to worry about projecting just
Speaker 6: one elements.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 4: So the second take, I really noticed that there was
Speaker 4: a little more movement, and especially well when you had mentioned,
Speaker 4: oh hey, let's just there's this fun bit with the
Speaker 4: athletic coach. I feel like you nailed that. I thought, yeah, absolutely, yeah,
Speaker 4: and the kind of and and I find when you
Speaker 4: have three things to focus on, that's a lot to juggle,
Speaker 4: especially for an audition, right, So I usually picked two.
Speaker 4: So if I were to do do two takes just
Speaker 4: like Paul did, I would focus on my interpretation of
Speaker 4: the age and my interpretation of the situation. And the
Speaker 4: second one I might lean more into my extrapolation of Okay,
Speaker 4: what was my peach like in school?
Speaker 2: Sure?
Speaker 4: Or like what or what would be the funniest coaching
Speaker 4: job a cat could have?
Speaker 6: And there was something about to me.
Speaker 4: Paul's version of the second one was definitely coaching water polo.
Speaker 6: And I could hear it. I could hear this frustration
Speaker 6: of you know, I'm a cat.
Speaker 4: I think that's good time.
Speaker 2: Well, let's see a tough act to follow. Let's see
Speaker 2: you bring Haley in from round number one here and
Speaker 2: see where we can go from there. Haley, how are you?
Speaker 2: We are here for round number one and Brock is
Speaker 2: going to be picking your character for you. So Brock,
Speaker 2: if you would please a number between one.
Speaker 4: And six okay, let's go too.
Speaker 2: And now a number between one and twelve. Nine, and
Speaker 2: now a number between one and seven six sick stick,
Speaker 2: and finally a number between one and eleven please. Oh Christine,
Speaker 2: I like this.
Speaker 3: Okay, You're a sixty year old, proper British alien who
Speaker 3: is big. So you are a big alien who is
Speaker 3: sixty years old and who has a proper British accent.
Speaker 2: I wonder how that's going to work you having lived
Speaker 2: in England for as long as you did, no.
Speaker 10: Right, it would be all all of my friends in
Speaker 10: England if I don't do this.
Speaker 2: Well, are you ready, Haley?
Speaker 9: Yes, I am, thank you.
Speaker 2: Okay, so line number one please at your pleasure.
Speaker 11: Lovat repeat lava.
Speaker 9: It's been Rick in the shower someone.
Speaker 4: Oh what.
Speaker 2: Brock any notes?
Speaker 4: I mean, I love the choice to do the kind
Speaker 4: of glottal placement because you know, there's so many versions
Speaker 4: of the British accent, and I'm a big monted Python
Speaker 4: fan and that's sort of like very time. Yeah, that's
Speaker 4: absolutely such a great caricature. I feel like doesn't get
Speaker 4: us used enough. I love the risk taking. I loved
Speaker 4: the you know I could. I always try to picture
Speaker 4: the character when someone's performing. So that alien had a
Speaker 4: couple arms and some loofahs and was definitely you know,
Speaker 4: conditioning and shampooing.
Speaker 6: I thought it was great.
Speaker 4: My only note would be for a second take. I'd
Speaker 4: love to hear some more. When I think big, I
Speaker 4: want to hear something that.
Speaker 14: Feels like fills the room a little more, you know,
Speaker 14: so maybe taking it in the direction of a Judy
Speaker 14: Dantra Helen Mirren, just a big presence, like a very
Speaker 14: over the.
Speaker 9: Top, absolutely something like that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Christie, Yeah, I loved.
Speaker 3: I loved the glottle thing too, But you would you
Speaker 3: could also if you're doing the Judy Dench opera singer type,
Speaker 3: you know, big woman, you could not be confined to
Speaker 3: just that to show us that you're an alien. I
Speaker 3: don't know if it's Sometimes people will improve like beat
Speaker 3: boops if they're.
Speaker 1: You know, a robe or you know could.
Speaker 3: We love seeing the bold choices because it shows us
Speaker 3: your range and we know, we.
Speaker 1: Know you have it, so show us, show us please, I.
Speaker 2: Would say, yeah, I would say just play. I liked
Speaker 2: all your choices. I just want to see you take
Speaker 2: another sing in it. Frankly, all right, So Haley, here
Speaker 2: we go somewhere completely different anyway, whatever you want to do,
Speaker 2: it's completely up to you. So line number one again,
Speaker 2: please at your pleasure.
Speaker 9: Repet It has been three weeks in this show. Someone, Oh,
Speaker 9: that was great.
Speaker 2: We'll be right back with you. Thank you, man, oh man,
Speaker 2: good job.
Speaker 3: This could be flipping hard. This could be a tough week, honestly,
Speaker 3: chrise summer. We had a tough one with Kree, right, yeah,
Speaker 3: was that our tough and.
Speaker 1: This one's tough too. I mean they're all tough. Everyone's amazing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, this could be really tough, though some are.
Speaker 3: More ready right because we did such a large papering
Speaker 3: of how many candidates we had. These are two folks
Speaker 3: that truly could be working beside us.
Speaker 13: Right.
Speaker 2: It's also one of those things where you I look
Speaker 2: at it like they could also be doing different things
Speaker 2: because she could go out and easily do exactly what
Speaker 2: she just did. You know, a character like that where
Speaker 2: he could go out and be the next voice of
Speaker 2: Hyundai or Toyota or something. So they could be doing
Speaker 2: two completely separate things in the voiceover industry and both
Speaker 2: be incredibly successful doing it. So it leads to leads.
Speaker 3: To I'm glad you're here today because I do feel
Speaker 3: like that you're judicating has been really nuanced in a
Speaker 3: way that is really helpful to when we're going to
Speaker 3: be going to move forward with this decision. Obviously, range
Speaker 3: is really important, but like like you said, personality is
Speaker 3: a big thing, but they both have great personalities.
Speaker 4: Yeah, right, so great personalities, And then the other thing
Speaker 4: for those playing at home, direct ability is always the
Speaker 4: big thing, and acting.
Speaker 2: They can both, Yes, they can.
Speaker 4: Both act, and they can take directions super well and
Speaker 4: extrapolate upon the direction, which is always the thing that
Speaker 4: you think are like, oh, well, if someone takes direction better,
Speaker 4: I'm always going to lean towards choosing that person. But
Speaker 4: they both took the direction and ran with it, which
Speaker 4: is what you look for.
Speaker 2: So yeah, well here's what I would ask right now.
Speaker 2: I don't think one is leading over the other, but
Speaker 2: that's my own opinion. Does anybody else have one who says, hey,
Speaker 2: this person is slightly better than the other because right
Speaker 2: now I have them tied tied so far.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think we're pretty neck and neck to be honest.
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, let's move on to round too and
Speaker 2: see what we got here. So let's bring Paul back in.
Speaker 2: This is here we go. Hey, Paul, welcome back.
Speaker 15: Hi.
Speaker 2: We are moving on too, right.
Speaker 1: It doesn't get on every time he does.
Speaker 2: Not.
Speaker 3: I get like shivers in my money than you.
Speaker 4: Yeah, my noise canceling headphone, My entire skull is like
Speaker 4: it is.
Speaker 2: Okay, So we are moving onto line number two, and
Speaker 2: once again, Brock is going to pick your character for you. So, Brock,
Speaker 2: if you would please a number between one and six.
Speaker 4: Let's go two.
Speaker 2: You did that last round. Let's pick a different one.
Speaker 4: Oh we did. I'm so sorry. Uh let's go one.
Speaker 2: Uh huh that's and work. And now number between one
Speaker 2: and twelve. Uh.
Speaker 4: Ten.
Speaker 2: And now a number between one and seven.
Speaker 4: It's really good. Seven.
Speaker 2: And now a number between one and eleven. A.
Speaker 1: Oh wow, this is a good one. Are you ready
Speaker 1: for this?
Speaker 7: Yes?
Speaker 1: You are a giant giant robot. Robot ninety five years old.
Speaker 7: Ninety five years old.
Speaker 9: Wait, what was that last one.
Speaker 3: Oh, yes, you've been stuck in traffic for six hours?
Speaker 2: All right, so Paul, you got a ninety five year
Speaker 2: old giant robot who's been stuck in traffic for six hours.
Speaker 2: Line number two, at your pleasure.
Speaker 7: We are now to the mixing portion of the recipe.
Speaker 7: You'll notice that I have used fish gots instead of sugar. Gotcha.
Speaker 7: That was a mistake. So let's go ahead and throw
Speaker 7: this all.
Speaker 1: That was crazy.
Speaker 2: That was a crazy take any notes.
Speaker 4: I mean, you definitely nailed like iron giant asque, big
Speaker 4: booming robot. I'm picturing some you know, in a way
Speaker 4: too tiny car. I would love to hear something that
Speaker 4: honors It can almost be difficult when we do something
Speaker 4: like this because you're we're throwing so many random spices
Speaker 4: onto some text and maybe doesn't match. But I think
Speaker 4: you have the ability to make the text connect a
Speaker 4: little more. So maybe we could play it like the
Speaker 4: giant robot has lost his mind, or he's been in
Speaker 4: traffic so long, he's uh, you know, now has a
Speaker 4: camera aperture, and he's doing a cooking show in the car.
Speaker 4: So I think we can combine all those things and
Speaker 4: also make it clear of why the text is happening,
Speaker 4: and that might speed up the speech a little bit,
Speaker 4: which I love the choice of the monotone automaton, but
Speaker 4: I think that the character might be able to have
Speaker 4: a little more personality, a little more connectedness.
Speaker 7: Okay, I mean, if.
Speaker 3: You've heard what AI can do these days with like
Speaker 3: they do all the different voices and they simulate them.
Speaker 3: I actually think that what we think of as like
Speaker 3: the serie voice and stuff is definitely changing.
Speaker 1: Right, so I wouldn't be feel as restrained to the.
Speaker 3: Typical robot voice. But because also too, it's like not
Speaker 3: doing Yeah, that's I don't I don't want to overdirect.
Speaker 4: That's great.
Speaker 1: I like like what Rock said.
Speaker 4: I do.
Speaker 2: I agree with what Brox said. I think we need
Speaker 2: to hear a little more stuck in traffic, And by
Speaker 2: that I mean maybe he's starting to short circuit a
Speaker 2: little bit.
Speaker 1: Yes, literally, what happens if.
Speaker 2: There is a short circuit in there? So let's give
Speaker 2: it one more try line too, at your pleasure.
Speaker 7: We are now to the mixing portion of the recipe.
Speaker 7: You'll notice that I have have have have have have
Speaker 7: used fish guts instead of sugar. That was a mistake,
Speaker 7: So let's go ahead and just throw all this out.
Speaker 4: That's terrifying.
Speaker 1: That was terrifying to me.
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 2: I loved it. Good adjustments though, loved it.
Speaker 6: Yeah, great copy and paste too. That was really fun.
Speaker 2: Thank you very much. We'll be right back with you
Speaker 2: for round three.
Speaker 7: All right, thank you very much.
Speaker 1: I mean, his voice is butter it is, it really is.
Speaker 2: I mean it, and he's got the acting. So that's
Speaker 2: where it's one of those things where it's there's times
Speaker 2: where we play this game for him.
Speaker 6: Though.
Speaker 3: That was a challenging round, and you know, because it
Speaker 3: was a giant character, I kind of thought he would.
Speaker 1: Really bring it home more.
Speaker 3: But you know, like you said, I think it is
Speaker 3: difficult to like shake yourself out of just the narration
Speaker 3: like this.
Speaker 1: Is what I did really well.
Speaker 2: So yeah, I felt like that for the first time. Yeah,
Speaker 2: for the first time. I felt like in that round
Speaker 2: the acting was lacking just a little bit. Some of
Speaker 2: the pauses were a little too long, some of the
Speaker 2: choices were a little off, But that does not change
Speaker 2: the fact that his voice is phenomenal. It's really I mean,
Speaker 2: it's just it's really really good. And when you have
Speaker 2: that kind of instrument going in and he obviously has
Speaker 2: the basics of the acting down. He really does. It's
Speaker 2: just that round. I didn't think it was great, but
Speaker 2: the choices that he then took in the direction that
Speaker 2: he then took took it in a different direction, and
Speaker 2: I thought it was I thought it was good. I mean,
Speaker 2: I just want to hear him. I just want to
Speaker 2: hear this guy. Do ad read though, I mean all
Speaker 2: day or movie announcing, because it's I mean, how do
Speaker 2: you not want this guy announcing the next Marvel film?
Speaker 2: Souh such a good voice, but.
Speaker 3: I'm like he needs to be like Disney rides, you know,
Speaker 3: like please get off of the you know exit.
Speaker 4: Yeah, well you can do. That was the interesting thing though,
Speaker 4: like we gave him a robot and it almost for
Speaker 4: that second round that almost hurt him a little bit
Speaker 4: because it was so in the wheelhouse of oh I
Speaker 4: should be able to do this because I have this instrument,
Speaker 4: and I think, you know, it's so easy for us
Speaker 4: to sit here and be like, oh, here's the choice
Speaker 4: I would have made. This is so hard and so
Speaker 4: difficult man.
Speaker 2: To imagine being at home crazy.
Speaker 4: You know, because we do work from home and we
Speaker 4: record and often you know, you'll be recording for Disney
Speaker 4: or Marvel or whoever, and it's stressful. It's just it.
Speaker 4: It can be really hard. So I have all.
Speaker 6: Just all the respect for Paul and everybody because.
Speaker 4: I think everyone's doing great to what we're really listening
Speaker 4: for is that acting. So that I think that third
Speaker 4: round is going to be the make or break for
Speaker 4: me with my with my selection for Paul.
Speaker 2: Well let's see, let's see, yeah we still have. We
Speaker 2: still got round two with Haley, so let's see if
Speaker 2: somebody just can just run away with it. But so
Speaker 2: far they're both great. So here we go. Let's bring
Speaker 2: Haley back in. Hi, Haley, I think you're muted. Oh no,
Speaker 2: there you are. Now you're good. Oh you just made
Speaker 2: it see with your acting and you made you said hello,
Speaker 2: but you say, there you go. So here we go
Speaker 2: with round two, line too and Brock, if you would
Speaker 2: please a number between one and six?
Speaker 4: Yes, I think I have not picked three for this
Speaker 4: one yet, have I three?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 4: Three?
Speaker 2: And now a number between one and twelve?
Speaker 4: Uh eight?
Speaker 2: And now a number between one and seven five, and
Speaker 2: finally a number between one and eleven.
Speaker 4: Two.
Speaker 2: Oh you go Christaves, what have we got?
Speaker 3: You're a medium fish who's thirty years old and is Scottish.
Speaker 12: I feel like there's something happening here that, like the
Speaker 12: world knows that I should just get all.
Speaker 9: The accent ones.
Speaker 1: Appreciate that.
Speaker 9: Thanks.
Speaker 2: There you go, right in your wheelhouse.
Speaker 9: Menada and Dolly had a baby.
Speaker 6: A medium fish, A medium.
Speaker 1: Fish, medium fish fish, and she's.
Speaker 2: Thirty A thirty year old medium sized fish at Scottish obviously.
Speaker 9: A Scottish law.
Speaker 4: There you go it.
Speaker 2: So line number two nine, number nine, number two actually.
Speaker 1: Really well will good job, right, good job. No, she's
Speaker 1: actually quite fierce.
Speaker 11: Then all the way, okay, we are now to the
Speaker 11: mixing portion of the recipe.
Speaker 12: You'll notice that I've used fish guts instead of sugar.
Speaker 9: Okay, no, that was a mistake. So let's just go
Speaker 9: ahead and throw all this away.
Speaker 12: And again, Okay, that sounds like cannibally some of the
Speaker 12: get to buy wants that really do they.
Speaker 2: Brock any notes?
Speaker 4: So funny?
Speaker 6: I really, I really love it.
Speaker 4: I the only thing I want to think of, like
Speaker 4: a little a little more, just to keep your reads different,
Speaker 4: because we heard what you did in the first round
Speaker 4: was awesome. I would love to, and doesn't necessarily mean
Speaker 4: the timber thing like you have to go higher, but
Speaker 4: I would love to because you you just did a
Speaker 4: sixty five year old alien, So I would love to
Speaker 4: hear a more clear delineation of what a thirty year
Speaker 4: old fish sounds like. I'm thinking, like, you know, a younger,
Speaker 4: more unsure of themselves.
Speaker 6: Kind of kind of thing.
Speaker 4: I love the cannibalism ad lib. I am.
Speaker 6: I'm crazy for improv. I think your prov is so
Speaker 6: important because it could shore you move in the.
Speaker 4: Character, right, yeah, and you get the character. So I
Speaker 4: would just love to hear some more.
Speaker 1: Just so go further in there.
Speaker 2: Okay, great, I think so Christy will Christy?
Speaker 3: I think that's I think I really to almost like
Speaker 3: expand on what Brock was just saying about her being
Speaker 3: like this thirty year old certain sort of more uncertain
Speaker 3: of herself. It's it's I know what you're saying, Rock,
Speaker 3: but I also wonder if she knows what you're saying.
Speaker 1: Do you know what they're saying?
Speaker 10: I think the idea that the last one so sort
Speaker 10: of just just play less. I tend to play sort
Speaker 10: of foot forward powerful characters, so to kind of play
Speaker 10: more of a.
Speaker 6: Does she made a mistake?
Speaker 4: Yeah, imper energy, you know, like not worldly if you
Speaker 4: are in a Scottish lock and you don't really know
Speaker 4: you're in this little lake the world, right and maybe and.
Speaker 3: Maybe it's more too like you're you're you're really just
Speaker 3: improv improvising the cooking and then you and then the
Speaker 3: fish cuts is more of a surprise. You're like, oh,
Speaker 3: this is what I've got. Well, we're yeah, and you're
Speaker 3: almost it's like, we're not gonna do that. We're gonna
Speaker 3: throw it all the way.
Speaker 4: I like that.
Speaker 1: I like that.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Okay, so you're saying less less lady Mary more made
Speaker 2: scullery maid kind of thing.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think so exactly.
Speaker 10: It's the pilot episode of a cooking show, not season fourteen.
Speaker 1: We're not sure it's going to get picked up.
Speaker 2: Perfect. I say, just take another swing and see what happens,
Speaker 2: Haley at your pleasure.
Speaker 11: Okay, okay, we are known to the mixing portion of
Speaker 11: the recipe. Oh you'll notice that that you've done, Oh no,
Speaker 11: fish cuts instead of sugar. Well, sorry, cramb all, that
Speaker 11: was a mistake.
Speaker 9: Let's just throw all this gus.
Speaker 2: That was great. We will be right back with you. Job.
Speaker 4: Good job. Wow.
Speaker 2: See that to me was that showed a different level
Speaker 2: of acting. Frankly, you know, just he was great.
Speaker 4: I don't want to say blows the other performance out
Speaker 4: of the water, but I'm just going for the pun.
Speaker 4: I'm not saying literally no.
Speaker 2: But no, but it is now Paul is really good.
Speaker 2: He's got that if he's got the instrument. I mean,
Speaker 2: nobody could say he does not have the instrument, but
Speaker 2: the improv the confidence, I mean, that's all the stuff.
Speaker 2: That's not to say Paul is in confidence, because he
Speaker 2: certainly is. But she's got this open kind of working
Speaker 2: with you to find the character kind of vibe. I mean, again,
Speaker 2: we're looking for somebody. We've always said Brock that the
Speaker 2: second they win could be in the recording booth with
Speaker 2: one of us the next day.
Speaker 4: So I think the thing that that again every round,
Speaker 4: I'm kind of getting more of a vocabulary of what
Speaker 4: I think I'm looking for. And tell me if this
Speaker 4: is what if you guys agree with this. A sense
Speaker 4: of ease because it isn't just about confidence. It's also
Speaker 4: the sense of like you're capable, but you're not cocky.
Speaker 4: It's a very fine line and we all kind of
Speaker 4: right line of just be easy to work with and
Speaker 4: poacities and beauties.
Speaker 6: Yeah, Hailey was.
Speaker 4: Funny and also the pop culture reference thing I would
Speaker 4: say in sessions that I've directed and been directed in
Speaker 4: one of the common denominators is we talk in pop culture.
Speaker 4: We're making cartoons, and the scripts that we're reading are
Speaker 4: often going to be like, oh, it's like Indiana Jones
Speaker 4: and this and so if you don't watch a lot
Speaker 4: of movies, and this is for everyone listening at home,
Speaker 4: and you don't watch a lot of TV and you
Speaker 4: want to get into voiceover, this is the time. This
Speaker 4: is the time to cross off Lord of the Rings
Speaker 4: and Back to the Future and all those like outlier
Speaker 4: nerdy things, because they come up with a lot.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, it's a to me. It was you know,
Speaker 2: it was just the second round. She just kind of
Speaker 2: edged out the acting a little bit straight up.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was pretty pretty wonderful to see that.
Speaker 2: Great adjustments. Now that being said, the characters were also
Speaker 2: picking for her are right in her wheelhouse, whereas the
Speaker 2: ones it does. Whereas the ones we're picking for Paul,
Speaker 2: it's like, you know, it aren't as perfectly suited for him,
Speaker 2: as you know if it was, Hey, you're now a
Speaker 2: fifty five year old suave man who is the movie announcer.
Speaker 2: And then the line starts.
Speaker 4: Within a world.
Speaker 2: He's gonna come off as the greatest thing in the world.
Speaker 2: So there's a lot of different factors that we have
Speaker 2: to put in there. But let's go to round three
Speaker 2: and see what happens. So bring let's bring Paul back
Speaker 2: in for round three. Hey, Paul, how are you hie goill?
Speaker 7: Doing pretty good?
Speaker 2: All right? So here we are with round three. Now,
Speaker 2: if you will look at your chat, you will see
Speaker 2: a new line being sent in for you. Do you
Speaker 2: see it?
Speaker 4: There? Uh?
Speaker 7: Yes, I do? Okay, perfect, move this into a better
Speaker 7: place on my screen.
Speaker 2: There you go, and while you take a moment with it,
Speaker 2: we're gonna pick your character for you. And by we,
Speaker 2: I mean Brock because we have nothing to do with this.
Speaker 2: It's all Brocks, so you can blame them for.
Speaker 1: Everything he's adjudicating. It's all him.
Speaker 4: It's all audicator.
Speaker 2: All right, Brock, here we go, if you would please,
Speaker 2: there we go a number between one and six.
Speaker 4: All right, and then we'll just so know, am I
Speaker 4: trying to avoid any of the numbers I called.
Speaker 2: Before, if you can, great, we'd like to not repeat
Speaker 2: if possible, but that is completely up to you. You're
Speaker 2: the adjudicator. My friend he was one.
Speaker 8: Yeah, so let's do sixty, and now numbers one through.
Speaker 4: Twelve, one through twelve. Let's go.
Speaker 2: Three, and now, if you would please, the number between
Speaker 2: one and seven one, and finally a number between one
Speaker 2: and eleven. Keen. Interesting, Christy, what.
Speaker 1: Do you You've had this? I feel like we've had
Speaker 1: this pairing before.
Speaker 2: Have we? We had this combo? Here we go?
Speaker 1: Not on this episode, not on this episode.
Speaker 3: So all right, you you will be a microscopic mouse
Speaker 3: who is ancient and you're a free of your own shadow.
Speaker 2: Okay, that seems to lend itself perfectly to the baritone
Speaker 2: in your voice. I'm gonna tell you, Paul, you've walked
Speaker 2: into some characters today that are very difficult for you.
Speaker 2: That is obviously the nature of guessing the character. But
Speaker 2: I just have to say that out loud, because there
Speaker 2: are some that probably are not perfectly situated to where
Speaker 2: you are in your tambourister. Yeah, we will. We will
Speaker 2: go from there, and that's you never know what characters
Speaker 2: are going to be reading for and that's part of
Speaker 2: part of what it is.
Speaker 7: So it's when you subvert expectations exactly exactly.
Speaker 2: So line three, please at your pleasure.
Speaker 15: If you remove one wheel from a tricycle, you get
Speaker 15: a bicycle. But what happens when you remove one wheel
Speaker 15: from a bicycle? Man, no one's thought of that. Wait,
Speaker 15: you in a cycle again? I said, anything, Rock, you
Speaker 15: go first?
Speaker 4: You're no, No, Christy, please please please.
Speaker 3: No, Honestly mine, just like I had to say it
Speaker 3: because I just think that was so there and it
Speaker 3: was so fun and the acting was really it was
Speaker 3: really good. What I'm looking for personally would be you
Speaker 3: removing the spaces in between all of those moments so
Speaker 3: that it flows like almost fifty percent faster.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's it. That's all I'm looking for.
Speaker 3: But everything else was fun, and I just want to
Speaker 3: see that from you, great Rock.
Speaker 4: I felt very George Carlin inspired, So I'm obviously on
Speaker 4: board with that. That was really great. I was very
Speaker 4: surprised by the interpretation I get.
Speaker 6: I think it's a great choice.
Speaker 4: The only thing I would say, and this might be
Speaker 4: a different direction than than you know, resonates with you.
Speaker 4: Paul and I always say go with your gut, don't
Speaker 4: you know, take the direction as best you as best
Speaker 4: you can, but go through gut. I would love to
Speaker 4: hear a little more like Dumbledoreian kind of ancient Chriscot.
Speaker 4: So I want to play on that a little more
Speaker 4: because I think you have this almost like this guy
Speaker 4: is pretending to be wise, which is like, you know,
Speaker 4: like basically he's reciting the big Mac recipe and be
Speaker 4: like have you ever thought about the system? See? So
Speaker 4: it's like I don't know. So maybe something like that
Speaker 4: would be fun to hear on the second take. But again,
Speaker 4: go with your guy.
Speaker 2: You are a critical role fan, so I will say, Gandalf,
Speaker 2: go a little more Gandalf. That being said, also, I
Speaker 2: think we lost a little afraid of your own shadow.
Speaker 7: Oh right, right, right, right, right right right.
Speaker 2: So I know, and again again it's one of those
Speaker 2: things where a lot of times you can't throw in
Speaker 2: everything that that that the numbers give you. You just can't.
Speaker 2: You can't do tiny little ancient mouse that is also afraid.
Speaker 2: I mean, sometimes you just can't do all the things.
Speaker 2: So I liked the choice you made, frankly, but I
Speaker 2: think let's see if you can just switch it up
Speaker 2: for the second round. I thought the first take was great.
Speaker 2: Let's see what you can do with the second take,
Speaker 2: and I see if you can play a little bit
Speaker 2: more of if Gandolf was really really scared, and see
Speaker 2: if we go from there and at your pleasure.
Speaker 13: Okay, if you'll remove one wheel from a tricycle, you'll
Speaker 13: get a bicycle. But what happens when you remove one
Speaker 13: wheel bicycle? Hm, no one's thought of that. Oh wait,
Speaker 13: you in a cycle? Okay he said anything.
Speaker 2: That was great? Thank you so much, Paul. We will
Speaker 2: be right back with you. That second read was I mean,
Speaker 2: you know who he reminds me of a little bit,
Speaker 2: but well, you know he's a critical role fan. So
Speaker 2: but that second read really reminded me of Travis Willingham.
Speaker 4: That was the first thing I thought of when he
Speaker 4: jumped into that was Travis.
Speaker 2: He sounded like Travis.
Speaker 4: Yeah, great, great direction, by the way, Well you really canct.
Speaker 4: I thought the Gandalf Touchstowe was real obviously really resonated. Yeah,
Speaker 4: and it shows the power of something when you know
Speaker 4: both the director and the actor are on the same page.
Speaker 4: Because he got the nuance of what you were looking for.
Speaker 2: I thought, yeah, he switched it up. It was man,
Speaker 2: that second take I thought was really good. They're just
Speaker 2: so differently. I didn't really, I didn't really no, Okay, okay.
Speaker 1: I wasn't. I kind of I don't know. Let's just okay.
Speaker 2: No, no, no, that's that's fair. I mean, you gotta no,
Speaker 2: I mean, this is what we're.
Speaker 3: You know why because he didn't take my note, but
Speaker 3: he took your guys his notes. But it's not because
Speaker 3: I care about him taking my note. What I cared
Speaker 3: most about was seeing him act in a fluid motion.
Speaker 3: And so obviously with animation, we can cut it up
Speaker 3: any way we want. And I think if we were
Speaker 3: to cut that up in studio and push it all together,
Speaker 3: they would have probably erased some of the breathing in
Speaker 3: between it, you know. And he did do better than
Speaker 3: the first time around, but he also it's still not
Speaker 3: as fluid. And that's what's standing out to me about
Speaker 3: the other contestant is just how fluid her acting is.
Speaker 2: I know, I don't disagree. I don't don't necessarily disagree
Speaker 2: with you. He's you know, she does have an ease
Speaker 2: about her dialogue. The way she's coming off he uh,
Speaker 2: I loved. What I loved about the second take was
Speaker 2: taking the direction, uh with the with the last one
Speaker 2: that Paul did, because I do think he switched it
Speaker 2: up and went the gandolf route, which is exactly what
Speaker 2: we asked for. But no, I don't. I don't disagree
Speaker 2: with what you're saying, necessarily, Christy, that she does have.
Speaker 2: There's there's a fluidity to her cadence.
Speaker 3: That is Brock had mentioned that earlier too, some sort
Speaker 3: of a fluidity, right, yeah.
Speaker 6: So well, the connectiveness.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm excited to hear Haley's last one here. Let's see.
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's see what Haley.
Speaker 4: Let's see.
Speaker 16: I think she's got this slight edge right now, but
Speaker 16: who knows. Yeah, alright, let's bring Haley back in. Oh no,
Speaker 16: it's we won't even get into that yet.
Speaker 4: A couple.
Speaker 2: That's the least of it. So yes, we're getting there.
Speaker 2: Let's bring Haley back. I don't think Brock nos did
Speaker 2: you hear I'm like day four of a stomach flu
Speaker 2: So it's been.
Speaker 4: Fund I'm so sorry.
Speaker 2: It's fine. I blame Haley. Oh wait here she is.
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, I'm sorry.
Speaker 9: I gave you fish cut cookies.
Speaker 2: You did it happened, all right, Haley. We are in
Speaker 2: round three now, and if you will look at your comments.
Speaker 2: You got your get in your chat. You got the line.
Speaker 2: Uh huh, read it now immediately. No, I'm kidding, while
Speaker 2: you while you take a second with it. We are
Speaker 2: going to have Brock pick your character. Brock, if you
Speaker 2: would please a number between one and six.
Speaker 6: I don't think we've done six yet.
Speaker 3: That we've done six yet, not for her, but we
Speaker 3: did it in the last round, but not for her,
Speaker 3: so that work?
Speaker 1: Yeah, right, okay, right, that actually is helpful to be honest.
Speaker 2: And number between one and twelve?
Speaker 4: Oh boy, nine, we've done nine in this one.
Speaker 2: We have none?
Speaker 1: Yes?
Speaker 2: Did we? Oh?
Speaker 4: Yes we did?
Speaker 2: Yes, we did.
Speaker 4: What I meant to say was seven.
Speaker 2: Yes, we have not done. There we go and now
Speaker 2: number between one and seven.
Speaker 6: Uh four?
Speaker 2: And finally a number between one and eleven.
Speaker 4: Uh have we done three?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 3: We have?
Speaker 2: Oh, Haley, Haley keeps keeps getting these How is that
Speaker 2: you possible?
Speaker 1: Okay, answer Brock? Is that your final answer?
Speaker 2: It? We're sticking with that because I want to hear it.
Speaker 1: All right, I'm cool, all right, you are all right,
Speaker 1: So I'm cool with it. It's lucky, all right.
Speaker 3: You're a microscopic flower that's fifteen years old and German.
Speaker 2: Thanks Roy all the accents. You keep getting all the
Speaker 2: accents I.
Speaker 9: Know, which is great. Actually, just a little sidebar. I'm
Speaker 9: in my D and D campaig right now.
Speaker 10: I'm playing a change link specifically because I wanted to
Speaker 10: have a bunch of different like character faces that had
Speaker 10: different accents in it. So it's just been like I've
Speaker 10: spent the last year just practicing a bunch of different accents.
Speaker 2: So you're welcome once again. What is it again, Christy A.
Speaker 3: You are a microscopic flower, she's fifteen years old, and
Speaker 3: yeah she's German.
Speaker 2: Here we go, Haley, line three, at your pleasure.
Speaker 12: If you rumble from the tricycle, you get a bicycle.
Speaker 12: But what happened then you'll remove one wheel from a bicycle.
Speaker 9: Hat No one thought about that.
Speaker 12: Oh wait, it's no forget.
Speaker 2: Don't said anything, brockety notes.
Speaker 4: My one note, Haley is I love the character interpretation.
Speaker 4: I don't have any note. It's about the composition. I
Speaker 4: think it's really really fun. I want to hear the
Speaker 4: because you're in the scene with two other people or
Speaker 4: several other characters. And there's a beat there that I
Speaker 4: think we're not hitting, which is, uh, you know, a bicycle,
Speaker 4: a tricycle becomes a bicycle, and a bicycle becomes what
Speaker 4: would it loses a tire? So they're on the oh unicycle,
Speaker 4: forget I said that, So invent the line before. Who's
Speaker 4: saying who's saying that? What's your relationship with that character?
Speaker 4: I want to hear a little reaction to someone going
Speaker 4: and so you can so that. And again, because we
Speaker 4: got our own scene partners, this is a really really pivotal.
Speaker 6: Beat for me.
Speaker 2: Yeah, gotcha, Christy, No.
Speaker 4: I don't.
Speaker 3: I really just listen to Brock at this point because
Speaker 3: he's got great direction.
Speaker 2: Sweet, I uh for the second take, and I thought
Speaker 2: the first one was great. I'd like to and I'm
Speaker 2: going to make since you said these are in your wheelhouse,
Speaker 2: I'd like to push the German accent a little bit farther,
Speaker 2: even even farther. Yeah, that's what I would like to say.
Speaker 2: So let's see what she'll do with that. So line three.
Speaker 3: Wait, wait, wait, okay, I have no Okay, So I
Speaker 3: feel like we're very heady with her, and I know
Speaker 3: Brock said the composition of it, your character was really good.
Speaker 3: So Brock, maybe you can push back on me on this,
Speaker 3: but I wasn't getting the fifteen year old girl a
Speaker 3: part of that, and we've heard a lot of range
Speaker 3: from her so far, but it would be really great
Speaker 3: to hear that.
Speaker 2: That's also that's also important because if you can go
Speaker 2: in and you can nail teenage girl or younger girl
Speaker 2: or younger person, we should even say it's not just
Speaker 2: a girl boy anything. That's all that will. You know,
Speaker 2: we are all friends with people who have phenomenal careers
Speaker 2: and they've never played anybody over the age of twelve,
Speaker 2: so you know, it seems yeah, so yeah, it's that.
Speaker 2: I think Christy's right if we can hear teenage person,
Speaker 2: because even if it comes off as a teenage boy,
Speaker 2: it doesn't mean I want to hear teenage right and
Speaker 2: push the accent a little farther. Let's see what you can.
Speaker 7: Do with that.
Speaker 12: Okay, Okay, so be super truman and like a teenage Yeah,
Speaker 12: like you're from Berlin, Like you're from Berlin, you know
Speaker 12: absolutely everything.
Speaker 2: Okay, perfect, let's give that a shot.
Speaker 12: Go ahead, So if you're remove one feel from the tricycle,
Speaker 12: you get a bicycle.
Speaker 9: Yeah, everybody knows this. But but what happens.
Speaker 12: When you remove one deal from a bicycle. No one
Speaker 12: knows about that, have they?
Speaker 7: N Oh?
Speaker 9: But but.
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 11: No, Okay, fine, forget to said anything, forget it.
Speaker 2: Thank you very much, Haley. We'll be right back with you.
Speaker 2: Who This is gonna be a tough one.
Speaker 1: I hate my life right now.
Speaker 2: I hate my life too. And I think paul Is
Speaker 2: is really good. And I think this is one of
Speaker 2: those weeks where had maybe he been up again somebody
Speaker 2: it is my opinion now, just talking for me, had
Speaker 2: he been up against somebody else, he might have moved
Speaker 2: forward the way.
Speaker 1: Can we please do a tie if it's a tie.
Speaker 2: If it's a tie, I don't think this was Frankly,
Speaker 2: I think I think first round was. I think she
Speaker 2: started to edge forward in round two, and I think
Speaker 2: by now I think I think she's just a better
Speaker 2: actor at this point. I could be wrong, but that
Speaker 2: I mean.
Speaker 4: Well, you're not, You're not wrong. The other thing is
Speaker 4: it is such a gamble and and I think for
Speaker 4: everyone listening and you know, competing as borice actors in general,
Speaker 4: it is a luck of the draw. You just don't
Speaker 4: know sometimes what you're going to get. And I will
Speaker 4: say it really quick aside super super fast. I saw
Speaker 4: a very famous voice actor who I love very much
Speaker 4: of court work together. I think we both worked with
Speaker 4: Their name rhymes with Hark Mammal and there was a
Speaker 4: session where something had happened on a casting level, and
Speaker 4: you know, we get utility roles sometimes and we get
Speaker 4: handed parts and someone needs to cover something. I watched
Speaker 4: Mark Park go through a one hour session voicing a
Speaker 4: seven year old Newsy like a little New Yorker seven year.
Speaker 6: Old Newsy character.
Speaker 4: And when you see a master struggle with something that
Speaker 4: sometimes we just it's not in our wheelhouse and to
Speaker 4: be able to push through it and have the grace,
Speaker 4: and that's the big thing I will say watching Paul
Speaker 4: to day, I have so much respect for He went
Speaker 4: for it. I didn't ever feel like like he didn't
Speaker 4: push back. He wasn't like, hey could maybe brock pick
Speaker 4: some other numbers because they don't know what they're doing.
Speaker 4: He just ran with it and I and you know,
Speaker 4: to that end, I think Paul's going to have a career.
Speaker 2: His voice is so good, I mean, is so good.
Speaker 2: How do you not want this guy reading every fantasy novel?
Speaker 2: I want that voice reading every fantasy novel that I read.
Speaker 2: Want I want to hear him selling me. I'm gonna.
Speaker 2: I mean, it was just he's he's great, but I
Speaker 2: see exactly he's really his voice is so I mean
Speaker 2: that instrument. You can't teach that, because you know you
Speaker 2: are talking about Hark, But working you can say Mark,
Speaker 2: I think we can say Mark Hamill. Working with Mark
Speaker 2: it is watching a masterclass. I mean, he's absolutely phenomenal.
Speaker 2: And there's times where you get phenomenal people that it's
Speaker 2: just you're just wrong for the character. It happens all
Speaker 2: the time. You know, the first two weeks of Back
Speaker 2: to the Future we're shot with Eric Stultz. Eric Stultz
Speaker 2: is a phenomenal actor. He just wasn't Marty McFly. That's okay.
Speaker 2: So you know, Paul is is very you know, is
Speaker 2: very very very very very good. Do we need to
Speaker 2: go to a to a tiebreaker? Would you would you
Speaker 2: like to do Chris Christy, do you want to go
Speaker 2: to a tiebreaker?
Speaker 9: I'll do it.
Speaker 2: Well, I'm just saying, do you want to go to
Speaker 2: a tiebreaker? Do you think we need a tiebreaker this week.
Speaker 2: I do Okay, well, if you do that, the.
Speaker 1: Folks, I think at the folks at home.
Speaker 3: I think Brock is fantastic at weighing in on these things,
Speaker 3: and I think that the folks at home deserve a
Speaker 3: tiebreaker because I think if they're listening to him and
Speaker 3: they're saying he's.
Speaker 2: So good, I don't disagree he's so good.
Speaker 1: He's so good.
Speaker 3: I just want them to know that we did what
Speaker 3: we could. And this has been something that we haven't
Speaker 3: quite employed yet because we've had a couple near missive
Speaker 3: and not near miss, but near near things. So I
Speaker 3: just wanted to do it. Let's do it as a
Speaker 3: as a an experimentation.
Speaker 2: No, I have no problem with that whatsoever. I really don't.
Speaker 2: Paul is administered so good. Yeah, I'll set it up.
Speaker 1: I'll even be honest with him.
Speaker 3: I don't know what I would say to him though,
Speaker 3: as as a sort of a helper in this moment.
Speaker 1: Do you have any idea how I could help him, Like.
Speaker 2: Well, let's bring him in and let's talk to him
Speaker 2: and we'll say we're going to a tiebreaker challenge here. Okay, yeah,
Speaker 2: all right.
Speaker 1: I wonder if they should pick the number.
Speaker 2: They're gonna But now here we go. All right, Hey, Paul,
Speaker 2: how are you.
Speaker 7: Patiently waiting?
Speaker 2: I know exactly all right. So here's the thing. We're
Speaker 2: going to be completely and totally honest with you.
Speaker 13: All right.
Speaker 2: We love your voice, We absolutely love your voice. You're
Speaker 2: a good actor. You've made some interesting choices. Your fellow
Speaker 2: contestant is a very strong actor as well. For the
Speaker 2: first time ever, we're going into something that Christie created
Speaker 2: as we were creating the show, which is we're going
Speaker 2: to go to a tiebreaker. Okay, okay, Christy created the
Speaker 2: tongue Twister tiebreaker challenge.
Speaker 7: Okay, So we.
Speaker 2: Are going to be creating the character for you. Well,
Speaker 2: Brock is going to be creating a character for you,
Speaker 2: just like we did. And then you are going to
Speaker 2: pick a number between one and five, and you are
Speaker 2: going to decide your own fate just like D and D.
Speaker 2: My friend, it's gonna be on the it's gonna be
Speaker 2: it's going to be for you to roll the dice.
Speaker 2: So here's what I would say to you, and then
Speaker 2: I'm going to throw it to my fellow a to
Speaker 2: caters again, you can't teach the voice you have it's phenomenal.
Speaker 2: We were talking about how I want I want you
Speaker 2: to narrate every book that I read. I want you
Speaker 2: to sell products. It's wonderful. Your acting's good, but some
Speaker 2: of the choices you make, some sometimes come off as
Speaker 2: maybe a little slow. So it's the cadence can be
Speaker 2: a little drawn out, and so your fellow contestant is
Speaker 2: a little more fluid. That being said, your voice is
Speaker 2: so good that we want to go to a tiebreaker
Speaker 2: to see what happens from there. Okay, okay, so I
Speaker 2: want to see you.
Speaker 3: I want to see you really good, like have fun
Speaker 3: with it in a way that doesn't feel so yeah,
Speaker 3: I want you to have fun with whatever this is.
Speaker 3: And I do think that the tongue twister is meant
Speaker 3: to do that, is meant to sort of shock you
Speaker 3: into being Okay, I'm gonna have fun with this, rather
Speaker 3: than get don't. I would warn you not to get
Speaker 3: stuck on the words. And these are also not like
Speaker 3: horrible tongue twisters.
Speaker 2: They're just a pretty horrible So no, no, no, If
Speaker 2: they're gonna choose one, they're gonna choose one each and
Speaker 2: they get to pick themselves. But first we're gonna pick
Speaker 2: your character for you like we normally would, And by
Speaker 2: we I mean Brock.
Speaker 1: Paul, You've never done this too.
Speaker 2: This is the first time, this is the first time
Speaker 2: it's ever come down this to this. So, Brock, if
Speaker 2: you would please one more time, a number between one
Speaker 2: and six.
Speaker 4: Okay, let's see one that we haven't done yet, one
Speaker 4: and six.
Speaker 3: Uh yeah, with him, you've done a lot of higher numbers,
Speaker 3: and you've done number one, and you've done one for him.
Speaker 2: Okay, so let's do two o two, all right? Now,
Speaker 2: number between one and twelve?
Speaker 6: Let's do three?
Speaker 1: I think we've done. Did we do that for him?
Speaker 1: Right now?
Speaker 2: Actually? You know what, why don't we stop this? I'm
Speaker 2: gonna stop this right now? Yeah, if we're gonna do
Speaker 2: if we're gonna do a tiebreaker challenge, why don't we
Speaker 2: not let fate decide? Why don't we, as judges picked
Speaker 2: the best possible character we can for.
Speaker 6: I would love to do that.
Speaker 2: Give Paul his best opportunity to do that. So would
Speaker 2: we all agree that it's a bigger character it is.
Speaker 1: It's either one or two, giant or big.
Speaker 2: Okay, So Paul, you're either giant or big size wise, okay, right,
Speaker 2: why don't we say something like a number? What a racehorse?
Speaker 1: A dog, dog or a racehorse?
Speaker 2: A robot works? We could do robot again, we could
Speaker 2: do alien. What about alien?
Speaker 1: Like that for him?
Speaker 6: I know I would do racehorse?
Speaker 2: Racehorse? Okay, you're a big racehorse. Let's keep it in
Speaker 2: your wheelhouse. You're thirty years old. You want to do sixty?
Speaker 2: Say thirty? Keep keep a natural register? Okay, uh, thirty
Speaker 2: because we heard we heard kind of gandolf, so we
Speaker 2: heard like a little older, which is nice.
Speaker 1: And do you do do you do accents?
Speaker 7: Yes? Yes I do?
Speaker 2: What's your favorite one? You prefer British, Scottish?
Speaker 8: German?
Speaker 4: You do Southern?
Speaker 6: Is there Southern?
Speaker 4: On there?
Speaker 2: No? No, but we can again. We want to get
Speaker 2: Paul the best opportunity.
Speaker 7: We'll let you create your character. Let's go with Southern.
Speaker 2: Sure, Southern. Okay, you are a big Southern racehorse who
Speaker 2: is between thirty and sixty years old. Your choice, and
Speaker 2: now here you go, Paul, if you would please a
Speaker 2: number between one and five, have fun with it.
Speaker 7: Let's go with five.
Speaker 4: Okay.
Speaker 7: I don't like that reaction.
Speaker 2: We will write it up in the chat for you.
Speaker 2: But your tongue, twister is I wish to wash my
Speaker 2: Irish wristwatch. Okay, and so as a Southern big race horse.
Speaker 2: All right, all right, ready, mm hmmm, at your pleasure.
Speaker 9: I wish to wash myris wistwatch.
Speaker 7: Wish to wash my wrist watch.
Speaker 2: Thank you so much, Paul. We're not even gonna do
Speaker 2: notes this round. Everybody's gonna get a couple of times.
Speaker 2: Appreciate that. We'll be right back with you.
Speaker 13: Thank you.
Speaker 2: That was pretty good. That was pretty good.
Speaker 1: He's yeah, he's got spirit.
Speaker 7: All right.
Speaker 2: Let's just go right into he did have fun with that.
Speaker 2: Let's go right into Haley. Yeah, Hey, Haley, are you
Speaker 2: did you actually say hello? Are you muted?
Speaker 9: I did? Actually my microphone just has a I guess.
Speaker 2: Okay, So we're we're playing the honesty game today. Okay.
Speaker 9: That's always a good game.
Speaker 2: It's a good game to play.
Speaker 4: Everybody win everybody.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we wish this particularly. I wish your fellow contestant.
Speaker 2: You and your fellow contestant are both phenomenal. You really
Speaker 2: are this week. He has an amazing voice. You have
Speaker 2: an incredible voice. The spirit, it's everything for both of you,
Speaker 2: is really good. We want to make sure you both
Speaker 2: have an opportunity. So for the first time ever, we
Speaker 2: have gone to what Christy has invented before we've started
Speaker 2: this game and we've never used before, which is the
Speaker 2: tongue twister tiebreaker challenge. Oh no, yes, So we are
Speaker 2: going to essentially let We're gonna help, but we're going
Speaker 2: to essentially let you kind of pick your character with
Speaker 2: some parameters, okay, and then we are going to have
Speaker 2: you pick a number between one and five, which will
Speaker 2: then give you your tongue twister and you can say it
Speaker 2: then a couple times, and then we're going to make
Speaker 2: our decision. Okay, Okay, So, uh, is there a size
Speaker 2: kind of creature that you would want to do?
Speaker 10: I mean, I feel like I haven't really lent into
Speaker 10: I haven't really lent into any of the like sizes,
Speaker 10: particularly if I'm honest this past. Okay, So either one
Speaker 10: of the extremes, either either something really big or really small.
Speaker 10: Probably either one.
Speaker 2: Let's do really big, you know, let's see, let's try that.
Speaker 2: And then is there a specific type of creature you
Speaker 2: would like to be Let's do for instance, I'm just
Speaker 2: gonna I'm gonna flat out tell you some of the
Speaker 2: other ones that haven't been picked. Nobody. Nobody picked teddy Bear,
Speaker 2: nobody picked merr person. Okay, we've done there, a bug,
Speaker 2: a flower, a fish, an alien. We've done with you.
Speaker 2: But is there one that we've done?
Speaker 9: A robot?
Speaker 10: Have we done the robot yet?
Speaker 2: I don't think you did the robot? Would you like
Speaker 2: to be sure?
Speaker 10: Let's go if we're doing tongue twister, I'm just trying
Speaker 10: to kick myself out and do something that might that's fair.
Speaker 2: You're a big lit robot. How about an age? Uh,
Speaker 2: you know what, No, I'm going to pick an age
Speaker 2: for you. You seem to have been doing a lot
Speaker 2: of the younger ages. Let's go older. Okay, so let's
Speaker 2: go between you know, sixty and ancient. Ohkury sounds good.
Speaker 2: And now how about an attribute? Is there something that
Speaker 2: you have not showcased yet that you'd like to a
Speaker 2: different dialect or something else you'd like to do, something
Speaker 2: that's in your real house.
Speaker 1: Let's see.
Speaker 10: But like a I haven't done I mean, I feel
Speaker 10: like I've only just done accents, so I should maybe
Speaker 10: do one of the other ones if to.
Speaker 2: Be fair, right, good call. So let's see something like hypothermic.
Speaker 1: You just the lottery, just lost the love of your life.
Speaker 10: Oh, that's kind of funny. Let's do a sad robot. Okay, perfect,
Speaker 10: Let's do a big saddle rod. That's a great battle before.
Speaker 2: You're a big saddle robot. Who's between sixty and ancient?
Speaker 2: And now to pick your own fate, Haley, a number
Speaker 2: between one and five.
Speaker 10: I think, considering I have so many tattoos of the
Speaker 10: number three, I think it would be wrong with me
Speaker 10: to not choose three.
Speaker 2: Three is fine. We will write it up in the chat.
Speaker 2: But it is a very classic How much Wood would
Speaker 2: would chuck chuck? If it would chuck? Could chuck?
Speaker 4: Would?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 1: Classy?
Speaker 11: Yeah, a big robot?
Speaker 1: Are you ready as as I'll everbee?
Speaker 2: All right, Haley, We're just we're gonna stay silent if
Speaker 2: you want to do it a couple times in a row.
Speaker 1: Just straight through, no notes.
Speaker 2: We're not going to give anybody any notes, and we
Speaker 2: will go from there, so at your pleasure.
Speaker 9: Oh much, would would I would chock chock?
Speaker 1: If I would chock?
Speaker 4: What?
Speaker 9: Sure?
Speaker 6: What?
Speaker 3: H m hm hm hm.
Speaker 9: Oh much Wood would would chock chock?
Speaker 2: What?
Speaker 9: Shock?
Speaker 4: Shock?
Speaker 2: Thank you very much, Thank you all right, we'll be
Speaker 2: right back with you.
Speaker 4: I mean, Brock, Well, the adjudicator does believe there's a
Speaker 4: clear there's a clear winner here. I thought Paul did
Speaker 4: an amazing job throughout. We obviously all had kind of
Speaker 4: the same concerns and things that we were hoping we
Speaker 4: could hear that fluidity, that connectiveness, and Paul can act.
Speaker 4: And I think it just really highlights that the instruments
Speaker 4: not enough on its own. But to me, the clear
Speaker 4: winner is Haley. You have the range, you had.
Speaker 6: Surprising choices, risk taking, direct ability.
Speaker 4: And kind of everything I'm looking for when I'm working
Speaker 4: with another actor and the kind of actor I always
Speaker 4: try to want to be.
Speaker 6: Really Brock.
Speaker 1: You have the instrument.
Speaker 3: You know, Brock has the instrument when it comes to
Speaker 3: Brock for those of you listening at home, he can
Speaker 3: and be all the characters and that you've never even
Speaker 3: thought of. And so if somebody who has an instrument
Speaker 3: knows that directability is so much, so important, then I'm
Speaker 3: going to defer to to Haley being the winner.
Speaker 2: I don't disagree. I think I think Paul is phenomenal.
Speaker 2: He's got a great voice. I think uh he will work.
Speaker 2: I think he's he's got to work a little bit
Speaker 2: on that. But she could, she could get into a
Speaker 2: booth today, and that's and that's the thing. Yeah, Yeah,
Speaker 2: she could step into a booth today. She really could.
Speaker 2: So I I I'm glad we did the tiebreaker challenge.
Speaker 2: I think it was necessary. I wanted to give Paul
Speaker 2: as much of an opportunity as possible because you can't
Speaker 2: teach that voice. I mean you can't, and hopefully for him, right.
Speaker 4: A full fair shot he did.
Speaker 2: So we're all in agreement. Then let's let's bring in Paul,
Speaker 2: unfortunately and give him the bad news. Not it?
Speaker 1: Not it?
Speaker 2: Hey, Paul, how are you good? So, first of all,
Speaker 2: congratulations I'm making the top sixteen and for making the
Speaker 2: first ever tiebreaker challenge. This was really really hard for us.
Speaker 2: It really was, still is it still is. We are
Speaker 2: on the fence about this one for a lot of reasons.
Speaker 2: Your voice is just phenomenal. We really love it. Unfortunately,
Speaker 2: this is as far as you're going to go in
Speaker 2: the contest. But man, please don't stop, because you know
Speaker 2: somebody's going to hear this, some agent somewhere, somebody's going
Speaker 2: to hear this and say I have to sign that voice.
Speaker 2: This is why we needed the tiebreaker challenge. We've been
Speaker 2: going back and forth, back and forth. Your voice is
Speaker 2: just so good, you can act, and it's we think
Speaker 2: this guy's the limit. We really do. It's just I
Speaker 2: don't even know what else to say. This has been
Speaker 2: so tough on us because from the second you came
Speaker 2: on and said Hi, I'm Paul, we were like, oh, man, like,
Speaker 2: it's just great. So yeah, rock you have anything you
Speaker 2: want to say?
Speaker 6: Yeah, all good things.
Speaker 4: Your voice puts you into competition and similar tones with
Speaker 4: David k and Chris Parnell.
Speaker 2: And Travis and Travis William.
Speaker 4: Travis, that's what answered Travis William.
Speaker 2: Your gand off. The second you started gandoff, I was like,
Speaker 2: that's Travis. It sounds like Travis. So yeah, it was great.
Speaker 4: So we just want to get We just want to
Speaker 4: encourage you to continue again. One of the piece of
Speaker 4: advice I always give that was given to me is
Speaker 4: don't let anyone tell you now and be so be
Speaker 4: so good they can't deny you you are great. Micro
Speaker 4: adjustments might be some of the connectedness and texts. Some
Speaker 4: improv would maybe be really helpful because improv helps you
Speaker 4: with those backgrounds of being able to Okay, great, I'm
Speaker 4: a ham Sandwich and I'm saying you you have the instincts.
Speaker 4: I just want to hear you begin to trust them
Speaker 4: even more. So I wish you all the best of luck,
Speaker 4: and I know I'm going to hear you again something
Speaker 4: well then.
Speaker 3: Chris, I I am sad, you know, I just I
Speaker 3: believe in your talent. And you know this is hard
Speaker 3: for us. You know, we're we're new to this. We're
Speaker 3: usually the ones that are in your position, Paul, and
Speaker 3: so you know we love you and we want you
Speaker 3: to continue to you know, keep going because you know
Speaker 3: we're hoping actually, and we're telling people that are listening
Speaker 3: to this episode, like if you are an agent or manager,
Speaker 3: you have to rep him.
Speaker 1: He is ready to go.
Speaker 3: And yeah, we we really support you and love you,
Speaker 3: and we we we hope.
Speaker 1: The best for you.
Speaker 7: Thank you all very much. This has just been a
Speaker 7: fantastic opportunity. Thank you all.
Speaker 2: Well, it won't be your last, that is absolutely for certain,
Speaker 2: and we will be working together sometime in the future.
Speaker 2: All I guarantee you'll see all of us look forward
Speaker 2: to it. So thank you so much for joining us.
Speaker 6: Paul, thank you.
Speaker 2: Oh I hate that so much. The yeah, let's bring
Speaker 2: in Haley and make her feel bad too. Oh no,
Speaker 2: it's fun parts fun. Yeah, I just don't want to
Speaker 2: tell her that. Oh hey, hi, Hi, Hi, it's this
Speaker 2: has been such a tough episode for us. I mean
Speaker 2: really has just been the toughest episode for us. So
Speaker 2: we've been going back and forth and we came to
Speaker 2: the tiebreaker challenge and your fellow contestant, his voice was
Speaker 2: just so phenomenal. I mean, it's like you heard it. It
Speaker 2: was like butter yeah, but you're going to be moving
Speaker 2: on to the next round. Yeah, yeah. Seriously, he was
Speaker 2: great and it was very very tough take out, but
Speaker 2: you did.
Speaker 1: He does the fake out.
Speaker 2: I know, I get a little bit of joy well after,
Speaker 2: you know, again talking to him, and it hurts so much, so.
Speaker 9: I can imagine it.
Speaker 3: Really, we're going to be an Austin Comic con, so
Speaker 3: you can you can kick him in the shin.
Speaker 1: You can come and kick him in the shin.
Speaker 4: Okay, you guys send me a video from Austin.
Speaker 6: We'll send a little Carboro cutout.
Speaker 2: Good wait is it?
Speaker 1: I feel like I need to go get tickets right now.
Speaker 2: I have no idea we find well find out. My
Speaker 2: congratulations you certainly deserved it was that a Is that
Speaker 2: a D twenty on your chair?
Speaker 9: I make, I make dice. This is my like maker.

Speaker 2: one for us. This was really really a tough one
Speaker 2: for us.
Speaker 14: Thank you.

Speaker 1: Do I leave?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 7: I leave?
Speaker 1: Is so crazy?
Speaker 2: Wow, that was fun. Well, it's nice to make somebody's
Speaker 2: day and I hate doing that, especially some of like Paul.
Speaker 10: It is just so good.
Speaker 2: Oh that one hurt.
Speaker 4: You know. Rejection is part of it, and I think
Speaker 4: it only just helps iron sharp AND's iron I think
Speaker 4: every no is just honestly is just redirection to the
Speaker 4: next Yes, So I think that's a great way.
Speaker 1: I mean, it is a business.
Speaker 3: This business is not an easy business, and the rejection
Speaker 3: has to be something that you can stomach.
Speaker 1: And honestly, you're right.
Speaker 3: I think like if that's if that's going to deter
Speaker 3: any one of these any one of these amazing contestants
Speaker 3: that we have, then then then you know this is not.
Speaker 1: Necessarily the and I don't think it will want to
Speaker 1: dedicate themselves to.
Speaker 2: I don't think it will deter Paul. I think he's
Speaker 2: going to use it.
Speaker 3: I don't think so either to couple people that I
Speaker 3: feel like might actually hang it up.
Speaker 1: But he's not one.
Speaker 2: He's gonna he's gonna go Brock.
Speaker 1: Thank you so much.
Speaker 3: You were a fantastic, fantastic adjudicator.

Speaker 2: had to hop off because you know, she's super important
Speaker 2: and does a lot of super cool things. But I
Speaker 2: am wrapping up what turned out to be just such
Speaker 2: a difficult episode of the contest, the Super Awesome Contest
Speaker 2: to become the next Big Voice Actor is emotionally draining
Speaker 2: because man Paul was so good and we had to
Speaker 2: say goodbye to him. So the competition is getting a
Speaker 2: lot stiffer and a lot more difficult. But Haley is
Speaker 2: moving on and rightfully so, and the Elite eight. I
Speaker 2: think we all have one week left and then the
Speaker 2: Elite Eight is finished, so we are definitely getting there.

Speaker 2: Prime Video Critical Role CESD. iHeart everybody who has just
Speaker 2: stepped up and said, hey, go do your contest and
Speaker 2: find the next awesome voice actor, and that's what we
Speaker 2: are doing. So thank you all again for joining us.
Speaker 2: We will do this one more time next week, and
Speaker 2: then we're moving on to a brand new game with
Speaker 2: all these same contestants that have made it to the
Speaker 2: next round. The games are going to get more difficult,
Speaker 2: the contest is going to get tighter. It is just
Speaker 2: getting crazy and crazy and crazy. So I'm so excited
Speaker 2: you're all here on this journey with us. Thank you
Speaker 2: again so much, Christy. I love you. I hope you're
Speaker 2: out there having fun and I will see you all
