Where did it start? 0:00:12.039 --> 0:00:14.280 It started? It's so funny. It started in my legs. 0:00:14.520 --> 0:00:17.160 I start, I thought my legs are super achy and sore, 0:00:17.200 --> 0:00:20.080 and I thought that it was from running. And then 0:00:20.239 --> 0:00:22.880 I had oysters, which I almost never do, so then 0:00:22.920 --> 0:00:24.840 I thought I had food poisoning, and then it's just 0:00:24.880 --> 0:00:26.840 been three or four days of just solid flu. 0:00:27.080 --> 0:00:29.640 So yeah, no, it was it started in your legs, 0:00:29.680 --> 0:00:32.599 Like is this like that sounds like something that happens 0:00:32.600 --> 0:00:34.960 with like the day of polio, right. 0:00:34.960 --> 0:00:35.120 Is that? 0:00:35.240 --> 0:00:38.240 No, it started just my legs being super sore and achy. 0:00:38.280 --> 0:00:40.760 That was the first kind of symptom that I had. 0:00:41.280 --> 0:00:43.080 And then I was just kind of aching everywhere, and 0:00:43.080 --> 0:00:45.600 then yeah, it's been it's been fun. 0:00:46.240 --> 0:00:46.960 That's not fun. 0:00:47.120 --> 0:00:48.839 I'm sorry. So how are you? 0:00:49.560 --> 0:00:50.120 I'm fine? 0:00:50.320 --> 0:00:52.680 Yeah. Forever reason I get up and run out of 0:00:52.720 --> 0:00:55.040 the room as we're recording, that's the only reason why. 0:00:55.000 --> 0:00:56.360 It has nothing to do with you. Because you look 0:00:56.360 --> 0:00:58.480 beautiful today, well you always look beautiful, but look are 0:00:58.520 --> 0:00:59.200 you all done up? 0:00:59.520 --> 0:01:02.120 I am all gussied up you are. 0:01:02.560 --> 0:01:04.280 I won't ask why in case it's something that you're 0:01:04.319 --> 0:01:06.160 not allowed to talk about, but it looks like it's 0:01:06.160 --> 0:01:06.720 an interview. 0:01:06.840 --> 0:01:09.480 It's an interview I think for some Israeli talk show 0:01:09.560 --> 0:01:13.679 or something, so that's fun. But yeah, I mean there's 0:01:13.680 --> 0:01:16.920 two Christie's, as you know Will, there's the makeup Christie 0:01:16.920 --> 0:01:18.319 and then there's just normal Christie. 0:01:18.319 --> 0:01:20.160 But makeup Christie is a whole other level. 0:01:20.560 --> 0:01:22.920 I would argue there's more than two from how long 0:01:22.959 --> 0:01:24.680 I've known you, but that's but those are the two 0:01:24.680 --> 0:01:27.360 that you present. But I've known several Christie, like there 0:01:27.360 --> 0:01:29.880 are several Wills. I think that's I think that's normal 0:01:29.920 --> 0:01:32.760 of most people. I think that's normal for most people. 0:01:32.880 --> 0:01:35.560 But we are all here once again for this super 0:01:35.640 --> 0:01:38.560 awesome contest. The voice actor. 0:01:38.840 --> 0:01:41.240 Over the weekend, I saw the Mario brother movie, the 0:01:41.280 --> 0:01:42.560 Super Mario Brother Movie. 0:01:42.600 --> 0:01:44.679 How was it look I thought of you. 0:01:44.760 --> 0:01:48.520 I thought of what we originally had said about the 0:01:48.520 --> 0:01:53.280 general conflict of celebrities sort of coming into the space 0:01:53.600 --> 0:01:58.000 of the animation world. And I tried to be as 0:01:58.080 --> 0:02:00.960 like non biased as possible, because as a voice actor, 0:02:00.960 --> 0:02:03.000 I think you your mind tends to go there. 0:02:03.080 --> 0:02:08.160 Sure, And like I think that I think that these 0:02:08.800 --> 0:02:14.040 actors who are approaching these characters are aware of how 0:02:14.560 --> 0:02:17.079 they are taking the jobs from other people, because it. 0:02:17.120 --> 0:02:19.880 Seems to me that they are making more of. 0:02:19.840 --> 0:02:23.120 An effort to act, you know what I mean, not 0:02:23.200 --> 0:02:26.920 just like portray themselves. Sure, but it definitely seems like 0:02:27.240 --> 0:02:30.399 it almost seems like in tandem with the casting itself 0:02:31.080 --> 0:02:33.480 saying to themselves, well, we do need to make sure 0:02:33.480 --> 0:02:36.400 that this because there's so much criticism from the fans. 0:02:36.720 --> 0:02:38.120 Yeah, you know that. 0:02:38.480 --> 0:02:41.560 I think they answer to the fans, and the fans 0:02:41.639 --> 0:02:45.120 are the ones that are so you know, almost like 0:02:45.360 --> 0:02:47.880 they police the community too right that they want the 0:02:47.919 --> 0:02:51.880 top quality, They want the top quality voice talent. And 0:02:51.919 --> 0:02:54.000 I don't even think they care if that's really you know, 0:02:54.040 --> 0:02:55.080 a celebrity actor or not. 0:02:55.200 --> 0:02:56.880 No, they don't at all. They want the best they 0:02:56.919 --> 0:02:59.640 can do. And as I've said, every actor, you know, 0:03:00.080 --> 0:03:03.080 a list actor, to the people that are just you know, 0:03:03.160 --> 0:03:05.880 really trying to get there, everybody should try voiceover because 0:03:05.880 --> 0:03:08.080 it's a ton of fun. So I'm not saying that, 0:03:08.160 --> 0:03:10.760 you know, somebody shouldn't go and be a void, but 0:03:10.919 --> 0:03:14.760 I think as an a list actor, you you have 0:03:14.840 --> 0:03:17.200 the power to say, Hey, I definitely will do this role, 0:03:17.480 --> 0:03:18.919 but I want to make sure at least fifty percent 0:03:18.960 --> 0:03:22.200 of the cast are just voiceover actors and that's how 0:03:22.240 --> 0:03:25.040 everybody works. So but speaking of that, we're gonna find 0:03:25.040 --> 0:03:27.000 the next one. We are in the middle of finding 0:03:27.000 --> 0:03:28.960 the next big one on the Super Awesome Contest to 0:03:28.960 --> 0:03:30.760 find the next Big Voice Actor.

He's like, 0:04:14.560 --> 0:04:16.240 this is such a great show and I'm so emotionally 0:04:16.240 --> 0:04:18.800 invested in the contest. I cannot wait to see who wins. 0:04:19.120 --> 0:04:21.720 So shout out to Ryan Patrick for listening to the 0:04:22.279 --> 0:04:25.280 podcast and loving it. And I think people are invested 0:04:25.320 --> 0:04:26.760 and they want to know who's going to win. And 0:04:27.200 --> 0:04:29.279 that me too. 0:04:29.600 --> 0:04:30.000 Me too. 0:04:30.000 --> 0:04:36.280 We've had some amazing, amazing, amazing celebrity guest judges come 0:04:36.320 --> 0:04:38.719 in and today is no exception. Who do we have 0:04:38.800 --> 0:04:40.800 joining us once again, Christy. 0:04:40.920 --> 0:04:43.560 Well, I'm really excited that we have Brock Powell on 0:04:43.760 --> 0:04:47.200 today with us. They are going to be an amazing judge. 0:04:47.760 --> 0:04:51.520 Yeah, they've been on before and Brock was an awesome 0:04:51.600 --> 0:04:53.680 judge in the past, so well, an awesome guest in 0:04:53.720 --> 0:04:56.640 the past, and we asked them to join us and 0:04:56.880 --> 0:04:59.680 here they are, so I can't wait. We should bring 0:04:59.720 --> 0:05:05.240 them on. Hey, Hey, Brock, Brock, thank you so much 0:05:05.240 --> 0:05:08.560 for joining us as our celebrity guest judge today. This 0:05:08.680 --> 0:05:10.840 is the super awesome contest to become the next big 0:05:10.880 --> 0:05:13.159 Voice actor. We are really excited that you're here. 0:05:14.680 --> 0:05:17.320 I am so so stoked to help. 0:05:17.760 --> 0:05:20.840 Judge feels like a weird word, but to adjudicate, I 0:05:20.839 --> 0:05:22.800 guess adjudicate feels less scared. 0:05:22.800 --> 0:05:28.039 Adjudicator, Okay, a judicator you're helping to adjudicate. I like 0:05:28.120 --> 0:05:30.000 judge because I think it's as exactly what it is. 0:05:30.040 --> 0:05:32.840 You are judging who's going to be next. And by 0:05:32.880 --> 0:05:37.160 the way, whoever you don't vote for going through is 0:05:37.200 --> 0:05:38.720 not going to be a fan of yours anymore. That's 0:05:38.760 --> 0:05:42.320 just how it works. That's it, that's it done. That's 0:05:42.360 --> 0:05:44.360 actually not how it is. We've got the best contestants 0:05:44.360 --> 0:05:46.679 in the world. One of the things we talk about 0:05:46.800 --> 0:05:50.360 is that it's been so hard for us to adjudicate. 0:05:50.440 --> 0:05:54.279 I will use that word, because everybody's so good. You know, 0:05:54.360 --> 0:05:56.839 we went from forty two hundred down to sixteen, and 0:05:56.880 --> 0:06:00.200 we said right from the beginning that the sixteen that 0:06:00.240 --> 0:06:03.520 made the finals, all of them could be signed. I 0:06:03.560 --> 0:06:05.479 mean really all of them could be signed. So it's 0:06:05.560 --> 0:06:09.080 we've been picking has been really really difficult. I mean 0:06:09.240 --> 0:06:12.400 really really difficult. There are some people that obviously they 0:06:12.880 --> 0:06:14.719 it's like the other contestant kind of runs into a 0:06:14.720 --> 0:06:19.560 buzzsaw because they're so good. But it's rare most weeks. 0:06:19.720 --> 0:06:21.880 It's really really close. 0:06:22.760 --> 0:06:26.320 Yeah. Wow, Well I'm I'm just I'm so excited to 0:06:26.320 --> 0:06:28.200 be here and I can't wait to hear and see 0:06:28.240 --> 0:06:30.520 what we what. We haven't started that, so it's going 0:06:30.560 --> 0:06:30.960 to be great. 0:06:30.960 --> 0:06:32.760 Well, we're going to jump right into it. So I 0:06:32.800 --> 0:06:34.599 don't know if you've been listening, but so what we're 0:06:34.600 --> 0:06:37.120 doing this for this first round to get to the 0:06:37.560 --> 0:06:40.000 from the Sweet sixteen, which is a name I came 0:06:40.080 --> 0:06:42.000 up with, to the Elite Eight, which is another name 0:06:42.040 --> 0:06:43.520 I came up with, you go to the Final four. 0:06:44.080 --> 0:06:44.599 I didn't catch. 0:06:46.240 --> 0:06:48.440 By the way, for everybody out there, these are all 0:06:48.480 --> 0:06:51.120 basketball terms for March madness. I came up with none 0:06:51.160 --> 0:06:55.159 of this, but hilarious going from the Sweet sixteen to 0:06:55.200 --> 0:06:57.720 the Elite Eight. The first game we are going to 0:06:57.760 --> 0:07:00.359 play is we play a game called by the Numbers. 0:07:00.400 --> 0:07:01.880 So what we're going to be doing is we bring 0:07:01.880 --> 0:07:05.440 our contestants on and brack. If it's okay with you, 0:07:05.440 --> 0:07:09.680 you are going to be picking random numbers from four categories. 0:07:10.000 --> 0:07:14.160 The categories that we have are size, what are you, age, 0:07:14.240 --> 0:07:17.120 and a wacky attribute. With the numbers that you pick, 0:07:17.440 --> 0:07:22.120 a character will be created and the contestants will have to. 0:07:22.360 --> 0:07:24.920 They've been given two lines of dialogue that we're written. 0:07:25.000 --> 0:07:28.120 They've had a night to study these two lines of dialogue. 0:07:28.240 --> 0:07:30.080 We will go through a couple characters with these two 0:07:30.120 --> 0:07:33.320 lines of dialogue, and then the third round and final 0:07:33.400 --> 0:07:35.600 round is a line they have not yet seen. So 0:07:35.680 --> 0:07:38.280 it is a cold reading with a new character that 0:07:38.320 --> 0:07:40.600 we've created. It is a ton of fun. It leads 0:07:40.640 --> 0:07:44.080 to some nutty and wacky voices, and it really is 0:07:44.120 --> 0:07:46.680 a blast to kind of see kind of who is 0:07:46.720 --> 0:07:49.640 doing what and where? So we can't we love it? 0:07:50.200 --> 0:07:52.600 No, this is great, And I mean, yeah, I have 0:07:52.680 --> 0:07:54.680 been listening and it sounds like you've been covering all 0:07:54.720 --> 0:07:57.760 the principles of what you know we voice actors deal 0:07:57.800 --> 0:08:01.720 with like on the job all the time. And I'm excited. 0:08:01.800 --> 0:08:04.920 Let's throw them in here we go. So, I think 0:08:05.440 --> 0:08:07.840 our first contestant, we don't know who came in first. 0:08:07.880 --> 0:08:10.520 We always like to see who came in first, and 0:08:10.600 --> 0:08:14.440 I think our first contestant usually pops up here.

So I decided to pursue musical theater. 0:09:33.800 --> 0:09:37.319 Took steps to pursue that. I auditioned for colleges. First 0:09:37.320 --> 0:09:39.520 time didn't go so well. Second time got into a 0:09:39.720 --> 0:09:43.400 good school, and while I was there, I became more 0:09:43.400 --> 0:09:48.120 aware of a voiceover as a potential career path and 0:09:48.120 --> 0:09:51.280 it really intrigued me, you know.

It takes some of 0:12:29.960 --> 0:12:34.480 the what did you call it? It was the I 0:12:34.480 --> 0:12:36.960 don't know, the onus off of like you're you're not 0:12:37.200 --> 0:12:42.600 judging somebody, You're helping to move them to the next and. 0:12:44.760 --> 0:12:46.280 Yeah about momentum. 0:12:46.280 --> 0:12:48.960 But also, my powdered wig is at the drag cleaners, 0:12:48.960 --> 0:12:52.199 so if it was here, I would absolutely be a judge. 0:12:52.559 --> 0:12:56.080 Is that is that? How do you actually dry clean 0:12:56.080 --> 0:12:57.520 a powdered wig? Is that how that works? 0:12:58.600 --> 0:12:59.959 Well, maybe that's why it's taking so long. 0:13:00.080 --> 0:13:00.440 That could be. 0:13:02.120 --> 0:13:03.080 Wouldn't that just get. 0:13:03.960 --> 0:13:09.640 I have no welcome and congratulations now before we get 0:13:09.640 --> 0:13:12.679 into round one very quickly, what made you want to 0:13:12.720 --> 0:13:13.760 become a voiceover actor? 0:13:14.720 --> 0:13:17.040 Well, I I sort of do. 0:13:18.520 --> 0:13:20.400 Regular acting, which is a horrible way putting it, but 0:13:20.440 --> 0:13:23.560 I've done stage acting for my whole life. 0:13:24.720 --> 0:13:26.360 They've been living in the UK. 0:13:26.320 --> 0:13:28.760 For the last like decade or so, and. 0:13:28.720 --> 0:13:32.640 I've been doing immersive theater and cabaret over there, and 0:13:32.679 --> 0:13:38.040 then you know the apocalypse hit and theater had to 0:13:38.040 --> 0:13:40.480 close down, and not only that, but I lost my visa, 0:13:40.840 --> 0:13:42.800 so I had to come back to the US. 0:13:43.120 --> 0:13:46.400 And come up with something to do. 0:13:46.400 --> 0:13:52.080 That you know, was artistically fulfilling and maybe at some 0:13:52.120 --> 0:13:54.600 point made some money. And voiceover had always been in 0:13:54.600 --> 0:13:56.560 the back of my head because I'm a video game 0:13:56.679 --> 0:13:59.839 kid and an animation kid, as I'm sure probably all 0:13:59.880 --> 0:14:03.040 of was involved in this R because it's wonderful, of course, 0:14:03.840 --> 0:14:05.600 and I had done a couple of classes and stuff 0:14:05.600 --> 0:14:08.040 in the past, and I have all the equipment for singing, 0:14:08.520 --> 0:14:10.800 so I just went you know what. It had been 0:14:10.840 --> 0:14:13.960 in my head as like a when the time comes, 0:14:13.960 --> 0:14:16.040 when I have a minute, when I'm settled, I'll look 0:14:16.080 --> 0:14:19.000 into t VO. And then finally the world had kind 0:14:19.000 --> 0:14:21.240 of stopped and I was like, well, now's the time. 0:14:21.400 --> 0:14:23.920 So I took a couple more classes, and I sent 0:14:23.960 --> 0:14:27.520 out a bunch of auditions on ACX to do audiobook narration. 0:14:29.240 --> 0:14:30.400 I said, I think I sent out. 0:14:30.320 --> 0:14:32.640 Like nine auditions and I booked like eight of them, 0:14:32.640 --> 0:14:34.560 and I was like, okay, well, there's the next year 0:14:34.600 --> 0:14:37.480 of my life learning how to do audio books. So 0:14:38.280 --> 0:14:40.280 that was sort of what I did for a while, 0:14:40.320 --> 0:14:43.880 and now I'm loving it and really ready to kind 0:14:43.880 --> 0:14:47.200 of do the the even more funds. 0:14:47.400 --> 0:14:49.320 Right, but you're not refled, right, you don't have you 0:14:49.360 --> 0:14:51.200 don't have a rep.

Size, 0:15:50.120 --> 0:15:53.080 what are you age and a wacky attribute? And then 0:15:53.120 --> 0:15:56.960 you will read the line of dialogue in the character created. So, Brock, 0:15:57.000 --> 0:15:59.880 if you would please a number between one and six. 0:16:01.480 --> 0:16:02.560 We're gonna go with five. 0:16:02.960 --> 0:16:07.000 Well, five, And now a number between one and twelve. 0:16:08.080 --> 0:16:08.920 We're gonna go too. 0:16:10.080 --> 0:16:12.080 And a number between one and seven. 0:16:14.920 --> 0:16:16.200 Ooh three. 0:16:17.160 --> 0:16:20.320 And finally, please a number between one and eleven. 0:16:21.680 --> 0:16:24.360 All right, Paul, we're gonna go to eleven. 0:16:25.800 --> 0:16:27.960 Okay, Christy, what are we ready for this? 0:16:28.200 --> 0:16:31.760 You're a tiny cat who's ten years old and you're 0:16:31.800 --> 0:16:36.160 an athletic coach. Oh okay, so you're an athletic coach, 0:16:36.480 --> 0:16:39.360 you're ten years old and you're a tiny cat. 0:16:41.160 --> 0:16:41.520 All right? 0:16:43.680 --> 0:16:46.880 Anything before this? Just let him go for it. 0:16:46.960 --> 0:16:52.760 I think we just let him go break your break 0:16:52.800 --> 0:16:56.040 your voice, Paul, line one, at your pleasure, please. 0:16:55.920 --> 0:17:10.240 All right, lather rinse, repeat, lather rinse repeat. It's been 0:17:10.560 --> 0:17:17.399 three weeks in this shower. Someone. 0:17:20.800 --> 0:17:23.040 Okay, Brock, do you have any notes? 0:17:23.800 --> 0:17:26.479 Okay? So off the bat? Some risks. 0:17:26.520 --> 0:17:28.720 I love the tape, but since it's a cat, maybe. 0:17:28.520 --> 0:17:33.840 It's riskers like whiskers. I do a lot of creature work, 0:17:33.880 --> 0:17:37.240 and so I really appreciate when someone takes the because 0:17:37.240 --> 0:17:40.800 a lot of animals talking. Animation obviously really kind of 0:17:41.119 --> 0:17:44.680 hard to watch a show without any talking at all. 0:17:45.119 --> 0:17:47.320 But I love when we pepper in the things that 0:17:47.359 --> 0:17:50.800 make the animal the animal, and so the vocalizations were 0:17:50.840 --> 0:17:54.280 really great, really great choice there. And also just the 0:17:54.359 --> 0:17:56.760 cadence of the voice felt very cat like to me, 0:17:57.280 --> 0:17:59.480 in the way that we have quite a few cats 0:17:59.480 --> 0:18:01.600 at our house, and so the way the cats often 0:18:02.119 --> 0:18:04.359 you know, perr and the ebb and the flow. It 0:18:04.400 --> 0:18:07.840 felt very flowy. So that was the first thing. The 0:18:07.880 --> 0:18:13.159 second thing was I loved the risk of taking the 0:18:13.200 --> 0:18:15.359 pitch up because obviously we're thinking ten year old and 0:18:15.400 --> 0:18:19.520 we're thinking tiny. I think it was a great choice 0:18:20.359 --> 0:18:22.080 if you, if you were to have a second take 0:18:22.160 --> 0:18:24.320 or a second opportunity. One thing that's always kind of 0:18:24.320 --> 0:18:28.200 interesting is taking so ten years old in human years 0:18:28.359 --> 0:18:31.320 maybe different than ten years old in catyres, because a 0:18:31.320 --> 0:18:33.720 ten year old cat is actually kind of old, right, 0:18:33.920 --> 0:18:37.680 So there might be an opportunity to do something kind 0:18:37.680 --> 0:18:40.560 of unexpected, which is always what I think as artists 0:18:40.560 --> 0:18:43.919 we're looking to do, which is to entertain and surprise ourselves. 0:18:44.800 --> 0:18:48.399 But overall, I really loved the interpretation of the first pass, 0:18:48.480 --> 0:18:50.120 and I thought it was really really fun. 0:18:50.600 --> 0:18:54.000 Christy, Well, are you going to say no? 0:18:54.119 --> 0:18:57.240 That's why I wanted to say something before, But I'm 0:18:57.280 --> 0:19:02.399 glad we waited it. It is a recurring concept of 0:19:02.760 --> 0:19:05.760 ten years old. Do you play it in animal years 0:19:05.880 --> 0:19:07.439 or do you play it in the actual or do 0:19:07.440 --> 0:19:08.080 you play it for real? 0:19:08.160 --> 0:19:11.040 But you know, and we always say, you make the 0:19:11.200 --> 0:19:11.800 as actors. 0:19:11.840 --> 0:19:16.679 You make the bold choice, and it's showing people that 0:19:16.720 --> 0:19:19.639 you can go big is great because then you can 0:19:19.680 --> 0:19:22.320 always scale back, right. It's a lot harder for them 0:19:22.359 --> 0:19:24.760 to pull it out of you. But I mean, I 0:19:25.400 --> 0:19:29.080 personally loved that. I even loved the hiss at the end. 0:19:29.200 --> 0:19:32.560 Usually we have the curaks our contestants to incorporate that, 0:19:33.680 --> 0:19:35.479 and I mean I almost wonder if he did. I mean, 0:19:35.520 --> 0:19:38.200 are we doing another take two for him? It would 0:19:38.240 --> 0:19:40.040 just be for fun. I would think for him to 0:19:40.080 --> 0:19:42.720 really lean into the cat part of it. 0:19:42.800 --> 0:19:44.880 But I think it was great. 0:19:44.960 --> 0:19:46.639 The only thing I would add is, and I know this, 0:19:46.720 --> 0:19:48.359 I don't even know how I would give this note. 0:19:48.400 --> 0:19:49.880 I would just add I'd like to hear a little 0:19:49.920 --> 0:19:53.560 bit more of the athletic coach h That's right. 0:19:53.680 --> 0:19:54.800 I totally forgot about that. 0:19:54.840 --> 0:19:56.720 I don't even know how you would incorporate that, but 0:19:56.720 --> 0:19:57.920 I'd love to hear a little bit more of the 0:19:57.920 --> 0:20:00.800 athletic coach. But that being said, I like the rest 0:20:00.800 --> 0:20:02.440
