Speaker 1: I'm gonna. I'm going with itfy id your your room.
Speaker 1: But I like but in a weird way. I like
Speaker 1: the way that it makes my voice sound more womanly. Really,
Speaker 1: you think makes you sound more womanly? Weirdly, I feel
Speaker 1: like more sexy. Is that what you think? It sounds ephemeral?
Speaker 1: What does that word mean? Even? I feel like I
Speaker 1: know what that word you're asking. Ephemeral. Ephemeral is the
Speaker 1: largest bone in your leg. I broke. I broke my
Speaker 1: ephemeral when I was a kid. I'm kidding. Hold on now,
Speaker 1: I really want to Now you want to know what
Speaker 1: it is? I would tell you, but I'm not going wrong.
Speaker 1: Hold on if I actually got this, yeah, no lasting
Speaker 1: for a very short time. Fashions are ephemeral, ethereal. Then
Speaker 1: that's what I meant. Don't use words you don't know
Speaker 1: what they mean. I do that every now and then.
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm sorry. I'm just looking back as my
Speaker 1: as my career as a lover, and being called ephemeral,
Speaker 1: I realized was not was not the compliment I thought
Speaker 1: it was. I was like, man, was totally aphemeral, And
Speaker 1: she had to tell me quickly um oh no, that's
Speaker 1: so funny. How are you so you're are you not sick?
Speaker 1: You're not sick. I don't know. I'm mom sick, which
Speaker 1: basically means like, especially like our producer can share our
Speaker 1: sentiment as well, Um yeah, I'm mom sick, which means
Speaker 1: you really can't get sick. It's like you're sick, but
Speaker 1: like you laugh at it because you have to keep
Speaker 1: going and pretend like it's not really happening. Yeah. My
Speaker 1: wife Sue says that I'm one of those people where
Speaker 1: I sneeze once and I've got to be in bed
Speaker 1: for a month, or it's like don't don't come here
Speaker 1: of yourself, take care of yourself. That's important, honestly. But no,
Speaker 1: I get that. Like we we've been doing a lot
Speaker 1: of different podcasts, both of us have separately from each other,

Speaker 1: great clam chowder? First of all, you're talking to a
Speaker 1: guy from New England. Don't ever bring up West Coast
Speaker 1: chowder to talking to somebody who you're from. You, by
Speaker 1: the way, are from Connecticut. You should be all about
Speaker 1: New England white real clam chowder. This is what they
Speaker 1: serve though at the wharf Fisherman's work they serve both
Speaker 1: types of chowder. I'm sure. I'm sure they're trying to
Speaker 1: get it just as good as in the New England
Speaker 1: clam chowder, and they don't. My friend canceled, canceled without
Speaker 1: the chowder. Fly your Connecticut flag high. You gotta fly
Speaker 1: your Connectic So I'm very excited about today's guests. Are

Speaker 1: I was right, you know will Okay, I'm still still
Speaker 1: I've been with C E. D. S D for twenty years.
Speaker 1: But I don't want to skip over the club in
Speaker 1: l A story. So I don't, you know, I don't
Speaker 1: know young people in l A. Whatever. Do you guys
Speaker 1: still live in l A? I feel like neither of
Speaker 1: you do. I'm basing that on. I do nothing I
Speaker 1: don't live in l A and I don't go to club.
Speaker 1: It's so sad that I live in l A and
Speaker 1: I've never been to a club in my life. Good choices, yeah,
Speaker 1: because I know, but I'm now I want to get
Speaker 1: to do it. What was the last I don't know.
Speaker 1: He was literally like lood do or some I mean
Speaker 1: like back, Oh my gosh, day. I think Olivia and
Speaker 1: I hung out like all the time that day. I
Speaker 1: think we like. I think yes, and I miss you
Speaker 1: in my life. We are the cup. You're in Austin.
Speaker 1: Oh oh that's right. Yeah, as I moved to Austin, Texas.
Speaker 1: How do you like training here? It's beautiful. I've been
Speaker 1: your two and a half years. I've found a beautiful
Speaker 1: house as well now, um that I just moved to.
Speaker 1: So I'm really comfortable and my girls are really you know,
Speaker 1: I have two kids, Olivia crazy crazy, I have to
Speaker 1: no club time. You don't need to do that. You
Speaker 1: really don't the babysitters club more like it. But yes,
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, this is so cool. I'm so happy
Speaker 1: to see your face, happy to see well, thank you
Speaker 1: for joining us, thanks for having me. Happy to be here.
Speaker 1: Now I have to know. Are you in l a A. Yeah,
Speaker 1: raise if I die Hills, girl, if I die here,
Speaker 1: I'll be really disappointed myself. But you know it's probably
Speaker 1: gonna Did both of you grew up in l a too, No,
Speaker 1: we're actually both from Connecticut randomly, Yeah, but you were
Speaker 1: like kid actors. I feel like you're only a kid actor. Well,
Speaker 1: I guess kids come out for pilot season, then they
Speaker 1: do that whole. That's what we did. So I was
Speaker 1: in the UID in New York and I would take
Speaker 1: the bus down, she would take the train, and then
Speaker 1: when Boy MEA's World started, I moved out here, so
Speaker 1: that I've been here since I was sixteen. Um, so
Speaker 1: I'm essentially have been a California person forever at this point. Well,
Speaker 1: and that makes sense Connecticut but really New York City. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so that's how that happens. Yeah, we were New York
Speaker 1: kids that came west. Yeah, that's kind of our vibe.
Speaker 1: But I'm not a Beverly Hills. It says Beverly Hills
Speaker 1: on my like I AMDB, which is like unchangeable because
Speaker 1: I was like born at I grew up in Hollywood
Speaker 1: and then moved to Burbank and I'm still in Burbank,
Speaker 1: so but it is interesting because you don't meet a
Speaker 1: lot of people that are like from Beverly Hills or
Speaker 1: l A. You know. Um, both my daughters were born
Speaker 1: in One of them was born in Beverly Hills and
Speaker 1: then the other one was born in Newport when we
Speaker 1: moved down to Orange County. But it is it is
Speaker 1: fun to see like somebody who's like from l A.
Speaker 1: What's a different vibe. Like my favorite people are the
Speaker 1: people that grew up here, because it's like, oh, that's
Speaker 1: that's why like you, because you're just relaxed into it,
Speaker 1: you know, because I think you meet a lot of
Speaker 1: people and they come to l A and they try
Speaker 1: and be l A whatever that is in their mind
Speaker 1: that they grew up watching or think that, you know,
Speaker 1: but I don't know that the locals are a little
Speaker 1: bit more you know. Well, and Olivia always you've always
Speaker 1: struck me as and this is funny because this will
Speaker 1: trans this will transition into sort of just the sentiment
Speaker 1: of using your voice and whatnot. But like you have
Speaker 1: like a more East Coast sensibility to you, Like if
Speaker 1: if somebody would be like, hey, look at this actress.
Speaker 1: Where would you cast her being from I think somebody
Speaker 1: would be like, oh yeah, she's kind of like sassy,
Speaker 1: and I feel like she could be more East Coast
Speaker 1: than people have asked me if I'm from New York.
Speaker 1: But it's just it's direct, like I have very male energy,
Speaker 1: which is just kind of I'm just more. I'm just direct.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't like, who is time for
Speaker 1: anything else? I like that. I like that. So let
Speaker 1: me ask you a question. Then, how do we talked
Speaker 1: about being child actors? How did you start in the industry?
Speaker 1: I mean I literally it was like three years old.
Speaker 1: Started in commercials like all kid actors do, as as
Speaker 1: you do, you know, and then I started doing TV
Speaker 1: and then movies and all that stuff. Um. And that's
Speaker 1: why it's so funny because fans, you know, I do
Speaker 1: a lot of comic cons, and so the question is
Speaker 1: always like, how did you how did you start, you know,
Speaker 1: voice acting? And the look on their face is just
Speaker 1: so disappointed when I tell my story, because I think
Speaker 1: there's a lot of especially anime actors and things that
Speaker 1: have these like I was just an office assistant and
Speaker 1: then I became a voice actor or whatever. And it's
Speaker 1: like for me, like my first animated series was a
Speaker 1: show called Hey Arnold, and I think I started that
Speaker 1: when I show it. You know, when you do something
Speaker 1: though you don't know, it's like what I have ever
Speaker 1: heard of Hey Arnold? If I wasn't on it, I
Speaker 1: don't know. You know, when you do a project, it's weird,
Speaker 1: but uh, but yeah, I started doing that when I
Speaker 1: was like, I think I had just turned twelve and so,
Speaker 1: and I've done a little bit of voiceover before that,
Speaker 1: and so it's like not this origin story where as
Speaker 1: an adult I just started doing voiceover. So it's always
Speaker 1: a little I feel disappointing two fans that I don't
Speaker 1: have this like you can do it too story because
Speaker 1: I've just been doing it forever. I don't know, but
Speaker 1: there's part of me that thinks that's that, in a way,
Speaker 1: is even a more interesting story because it's more rare.
Speaker 1: The A lot of the people that we're meeting are
Speaker 1: not people. I mean, you meet child actors that started
Speaker 1: on camera exactly the way you're talking about it. We
Speaker 1: all did commercials, so we kind of started or we
Speaker 1: started on stage and then you transition, you know, if
Speaker 1: you're back East, you do a law in order. You know,
Speaker 1: it's every that kind of thing you always exactly so
Speaker 1: everybody does that kind of stuff. And then as you're older,
Speaker 1: you get maybe your first voiceover gig if you're you're
Speaker 1: lucky enough to transition into voiceover. So to meet somebody
Speaker 1: that has been doing voice over since they were young,
Speaker 1: I think is more rare in the industry. I can
Speaker 1: right now the people that have at least been on
Speaker 1: this show. I can think of you. I can think
Speaker 1: of Marsden, Jason Marsden, um, and that's kind of it.
Speaker 1: We were young right when you were doing v O
Speaker 1: or not that we're not all super I mean I
Speaker 1: was like sixteen, so that's um no, no, I'm sorry
Speaker 1: it's seventeen with Kim. But but but I do find
Speaker 1: interesting with Hey Arnold was and then maybe you can
Speaker 1: speak to this experience. But it seems like with Hey Arnold,
Speaker 1: they really want wanted, like real kid voices. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: that's why it's so cool. Like people always say like, oh,
Speaker 1: what's your favorite animated project, and they want me to
Speaker 1: say Avatar because that's so popular and Avatar is great
Speaker 1: and everything. Um, now that I finally watched that show
Speaker 1: after twenty years but another little tiny showy but but hey, Arnold,
Speaker 1: I was a kid doing it and it wasn't all
Speaker 1: kid cast, which was really rare for that time because,
Speaker 1: as you know, they don't want to do kids because
Speaker 1: school and time and spans and all that stuff. Um,
Speaker 1: and you know, and voices change, like we had yeah yeah,
Speaker 1: so you know the girls, Allen and Arnold. Yeah, Philip
Speaker 1: van Dyke was another Arnold, um all these yeah. Well,
Speaker 1: and there's like a real sweet spot I think for
Speaker 1: boys where they have this like they've got this rasp
Speaker 1: and they have this certain I don't know, and then
Speaker 1: it's like twelve years old, and twelve years old is
Speaker 1: right when it you know, flips so flip instantly. I
Speaker 1: had that happened because I sang as a kid. I
Speaker 1: sang and you know, and you know, I got the
Speaker 1: lead and everything in the third grade and fourth grade
Speaker 1: rolls around and then your voice starts to warble and
Speaker 1: that's it. You're like, now you better learn how to
Speaker 1: sing in a lower key, which I didn't. I discovered smoking,
Speaker 1: which I liked way better. Got to be such a
Speaker 1: weird thing like women, it just changes. But again, I
Speaker 1: never thought I was going to be a voice over actor.
Speaker 1: But that's the thing that was so cool about Hey
Speaker 1: Arnold is it was not just a great show, but
Speaker 1: it seemed to kind of be taking the next evolution
Speaker 1: or step from the origin Charlie Brown stuff because that
Speaker 1: was all kids too, and one of the very rare
Speaker 1: things where they said, no, we're just going to use
Speaker 1: all children. So to kind of piggyback on that, Hey
Speaker 1: Arnold said, we're going to do the same thing. It
Speaker 1: might have been one of the last shows all kids
Speaker 1: was Recess because Recess wasn't all kids. I feel like
Speaker 1: they do it stren now it's a little like more
Speaker 1: of a hipper thing to do. Um. But yeah, I
Speaker 1: don't know. I yeah, that show is just really special.
Speaker 1: I think it's really ahead of its time. Like and
Speaker 1: to speak on your point about like the whole Charlie
Speaker 1: Brown thing, like yeah, I mean, if you go back
Speaker 1: and you watch that show, there's like an episode where
Speaker 1: this it's called Chocolate Boy, but he's like addicted chocolate
Speaker 1: and really he's a drug addict and like helda his
Speaker 1: mother through the whole series. If you really are watching it,
Speaker 1: like she's an alcoholic she's always making these smoothies in
Speaker 1: the morning and it's barely awake, and you know, there's
Speaker 1: episodes where like Arnold gets mugged, or their city kids
Speaker 1: and they grew up in the city. And so yeah,
Speaker 1: there's a lot of people come up to me all
Speaker 1: the time and talk about that show because it, I
Speaker 1: don't know, it dealt with like very topical issues as
Speaker 1: opposed to now a lot of animation is very a
Speaker 1: d D and just kind of you know, in your face.
Speaker 1: So there was a little more nuanced with that show
Speaker 1: that I think. Really, Yeah, the eighties and the eighties
Speaker 1: and the nineties did this thing where because we're talking
Speaker 1: about it when we're going back and looking at a
Speaker 1: lot of nineties shows, even the on camera shows, they
Speaker 1: did these things where they were for multiple audiences. So
Speaker 1: you know, a kid would watch Hey Arnold and see
Speaker 1: one thing, an adult would watch Hey Arnold to see
Speaker 1: something else in somebody seventeen would watch Hey Arnold and
Speaker 1: see something else. And the eighties and the nineties really,
Speaker 1: especially the nineties, really had that going where it was
Speaker 1: that kind of again, like you said, the kids and alcohol.
Speaker 1: The mom's an alcoholic, but you're you're eight years old
Speaker 1: watching that. You're never going to pick that up unless
Speaker 1: your mom is also an alcohol and your mom is
Speaker 1: also but exactly, I mean it is. It's one of
Speaker 1: those things where it kind of appealed to a whole
Speaker 1: range of people, which is why Hey Arnold was one
Speaker 1: of those shows you would hear about college kids like, well,
Speaker 1: we'd wake up and we just watched Hey Arnold, and
Speaker 1: they would watch it completely differently than the kids that
Speaker 1: would wake up in the morning and do it. Was
Speaker 1: very Nickelodeon back in the day was doing stuff that
Speaker 1: was very cutting edge in that sense. Nicolodeon, do you
Speaker 1: know what they I got slimmed. So that's how long
Speaker 1: ago I was on Nickelodeon. I've heard different things about
Speaker 1: like is it pudding? Is it like corn start? Like
Speaker 1: did it taste? How did it taste? It was, well
Speaker 1: the thing. So I got slimmed on the set of
Speaker 1: the original. You can't do that on television. Oh no,
Speaker 1: I was, I was nic I was, I was, I
Speaker 1: was on Nickelodeon. I started hosting a show on Nickelodeon
Speaker 1: in nighties seven called what Don't Just Sit There? Oh
Speaker 1: my gosh, best it was the best. It was a
Speaker 1: you were a young Saturday Night Live. There was four
Speaker 1: of us hosting. We had a band, we had special
Speaker 1: kids like we had you know, new kids in the
Speaker 1: Block came on and Freddy Krueger came on and we
Speaker 1: will Wheaton's where I met Wheaton for the first time.
Speaker 1: So we were shooting in New York. And it's so
Speaker 1: funny because I know and well you we just had
Speaker 1: a reunion. We just had a don't just sit the
Speaker 1: reunion for the first time since at my house two
Speaker 1: weeks ago. It was great, it was but it's people
Speaker 1: I hadn't seen since I was twelve. Did they write
Speaker 1: in your bathroom? They did? They did? Actually I have
Speaker 1: I'm sorry that for for the audience listening. I have
Speaker 1: a bathroom that is off a little screening room and
Speaker 1: there's pens everywhere, and you write up your favorite movie
Speaker 1: quote on the wall. So it's just the whole wall
Speaker 1: is just covered with with your favorite movie quotes. Will
Speaker 1: when you sell your house someday, that's going to be
Speaker 1: like valuable, Yeah, well, well we'll see. But that's why
Speaker 1: we're gonna We're gonna triple the price of just that room. Um,
Speaker 1: but if so, they flew me up to the set
Speaker 1: of You Can't Do That on Television to interview all
Speaker 1: them for don't just sit there. And part of the
Speaker 1: thing was I had to actually do one of the
Speaker 1: skits and I got to say I don't know, and
Speaker 1: I grew up obviously, you know, a year or two
Speaker 1: before that, just watching You Can't Do That on television
Speaker 1: the original opening the lockers like, hey Lucy, Hey, alistair,
Speaker 1: it was the coolest thing in the world. And then
Speaker 1: to kind of be there and there's just a guy
Speaker 1: on a ladder smoking a cigarette with a bucket and
Speaker 1: it's the thing that makes it all stringy is is
Speaker 1: baby shampoo. So it's like they're just dumping this like
Speaker 1: slimy oatmeally baby shampoo, and they were teaching me how
Speaker 1: to do it. It's like you're supposed to first get
Speaker 1: hit on the top of the head, and then when
Speaker 1: you feel like it hit, you're supposed to look to
Speaker 1: this guy like I can't believe this is happening, so
Speaker 1: then it covers your whole face. Um, it was a
Speaker 1: whole Yeah, it was a whole thing, but it was
Speaker 1: like old school original, but it was some guy in
Speaker 1: Canada and Ottawa with a cigarette hanging out like Amy,
Speaker 1: We're gonna yeah. So it was, it was. It was interesting,
Speaker 1: but that's that was Nickelodeon back in the day. And
Speaker 1: to get back to what we were talking about, Hey
Speaker 1: Arnold was then the next generation of Nickelodeon, like one
Speaker 1: generation removed from the start where they really started to
Speaker 1: capture I think what kids were about UM because they
Speaker 1: were doing this kind of multi level writing where it
Speaker 1: did it meant something to one generation, something to the next,
Speaker 1: and something to the next. So I'm going through the
Speaker 1: same thing right now with the Nightmare before Christmas UM,
Speaker 1: which which works on those two levels. And my daughter
Speaker 1: is now obsessed with it and she wants it for
Speaker 1: her sixth birthday and it's kind of, you know, kind
Speaker 1: of kept me up last night because I was like,
Speaker 1: is it going to scare her friends? Is it? Or
Speaker 1: is it? Mostly just the tone of it. You can
Speaker 1: be enjoyed by the mayor in that movie Scary when
Speaker 1: I was young, but everything else is kind of I
Speaker 1: don't know, it's whimsical. Yeah, I think so too, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think so too. All right, all right, so you
Speaker 1: go from Hey Arnold, now I want to jump ahead
Speaker 1: a little bit because I see one word that always
Speaker 1: sticks out to me. I don't care what I'm reading
Speaker 1: or what I'm doing, but when I see the word jedi,
Speaker 1: oh yeah, yeah, just changes everything. So can you tell
Speaker 1: me a little bit about that? Are you? Is there
Speaker 1: a word for real? Quick? Is there a word for
Speaker 1: Star Wars fans like Star Trek fans or Trunk nerd
Speaker 1: or Star Wars fans not like anyone. I guess that's weird,
Speaker 1: okay a nerd? Yeah, that was cool because when you
Speaker 1: do that show, hey, it's just cool, right. And when
Speaker 1: you do that show, you work with this guy, Dave Feloni,
Speaker 1: who's kind of be like, you know, okay, the guru
Speaker 1: of Star Wars. I don't like the next George. Basically
Speaker 1: he's kind of in charge of and he's very hands
Speaker 1: on and so and every Star Wars fan when they
Speaker 1: see his name attached, including to a live action show,
Speaker 1: they know it's going to be awesome because they know
Speaker 1: that he loves the source material. So it's you know,
Speaker 1: you're gonna get It's not going to be some random
Speaker 1: person like I'm going to try a Star Wars project.
Speaker 1: You see Feloni's name and you're like Okay, this is
Speaker 1: gonna be handled well, yeah, it's very cannon and you know,
Speaker 1: and so he was really instrumental now, so he was
Speaker 1: there for all the records, and you know, he's kind
Speaker 1: of like, I'm the direct line to George Lucas. You
Speaker 1: can ask me anything, you know. And I'm sitting there
Speaker 1: with like Greg Sipes. I don't know if you know
Speaker 1: him voice you think, so, do Jedis have sex? And
Speaker 1: he's like, you know, Jedi's actually are allowed to have sex,
Speaker 1: and there's like a whole story about that, you know.
Speaker 1: And of course that and like you know, you'll be
Speaker 1: doing a scene and he's like, now, George for this scene,
Speaker 1: sat me down in the screening room and he showed
Speaker 1: me this movie from nineteen two and the scene is
Speaker 1: going to be like that scene and did a little
Speaker 1: like he's so involved in it, you know. And the
Speaker 1: thing that was like cool and also unfortunate about that
Speaker 1: arc is that it's like a very specific arc because
Speaker 1: it was the first time that they explained like how
Speaker 1: lightsabers are made. Uh oh with the ki crystal, Yeah exactly.
Speaker 1: And Jesus, I'm a total nerd what so many things
Speaker 1: I've it's blue um, you think it's blue. I don't
Speaker 1: know you Yes you do, yes you do. But but
Speaker 1: that whole the reason they gave us such an important storyline,
Speaker 1: if you will, is that was supposed to be a
Speaker 1: whole spinoff series of like Young Jedi's Padderwans or whatever.
Speaker 1: And then right is I mean, it wasn't like production
Speaker 1: and how to budget and stuff. And then right then
Speaker 1: Disney bought Star Wars and their thing was that any
Speaker 1: TV show that was going to get made had to
Speaker 1: fuel the movies and be tied in with that, and
Speaker 1: so they canceled it before it whatever. Uh so, which
Speaker 1: is like basically the story of my career. Um, but
Speaker 1: we know we've all been there. Um. But yeah, so
Speaker 1: it's still a cool it's still a cool arc that people. Um,
Speaker 1: I don't know, it's important to a lot of fandom
Speaker 1: people because just that origin story of crystals now I
Speaker 1: know that, Yeah, the Kiber crystal of course, which is
Speaker 1: also the thing that fueled the death start. We're not
Speaker 1: going to get into this, okay, So, um, I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: but as a total nerd, I go I go through
Speaker 1: your resume, which again, we could talk Avatar, we could
Speaker 1: talk old school, which is new school, old school with
Speaker 1: care bears, care bears um. But I want to get
Speaker 1: into who did you play in the Harry Potter game. Oh,
Speaker 1: it's not even out, well, it is out, but it's
Speaker 1: not out here in America yet. Her name is Lottie
Speaker 1: and she's like this little artist and she's great. I've
Speaker 1: been I've been working on this video game for three
Speaker 1: and a half years and it's still not out domestically
Speaker 1: huge in China. It's like gigantic and China. I don't
Speaker 1: even think they it's so popular in China that I
Speaker 1: don't even think they care, Like it's supposed to come
Speaker 1: out this year. But I'm like, guys, October TikTok um.
Speaker 1: But but I've really been enjoying it. I mean, I
Speaker 1: it's really it's a great It's been a great gig
Speaker 1: in terms of just like consistency and also fun to
Speaker 1: be you know, little little British chick. But yeah, oh
Speaker 1: she's very sweet and she's always just looking for her paintbrush.
Speaker 1: And you know, it's like I think it takes place
Speaker 1: after Harry's graduated or something, so it's a whole new
Speaker 1: cast of characters and the art is beautiful. It's really
Speaker 1: stylistically beautiful. It's very different from other Harry Potter stuff. Um,
Speaker 1: but yeah, what I don't know. I don't know this
Speaker 1: if don't know, it's so funny because the guy who
Speaker 1: directs it, he's like, when I gave the audition, I
Speaker 1: put in all these very like specific Harry Potter lingo
Speaker 1: spells and words, hoping that that would you know, suss
Speaker 1: out that filter out the people that didn't know anything
Speaker 1: about Harry Potter. But this slipped in. I don't know.
Speaker 1: Well wait what what now? I want to know what
Speaker 1: did you put in? You know, I'm a Harry Potter.
Speaker 1: I pronounced everything. Yeah, I don't know, but it's all
Speaker 1: those you know, incanto, phosphorus or whatever. I don't know
Speaker 1: that things are things don't know. Well, I just you
Speaker 1: don't need to just read the lines. But let's talk
Speaker 1: about like how you have this canon and how you
Speaker 1: approach a franchise. Then, um, you know, and still give
Speaker 1: a great performance enough for you to be hired. Because
Speaker 1: a lot of people who are auditioning for things that
Speaker 1: are very much not they're necessarily they're casting or their
Speaker 1: interests or something that they know about. How do you
Speaker 1: find your way into a character that you don't know
Speaker 1: anything about. Well, I mean, at the end of the day,
Speaker 1: like it's acting. And so I mean people same thing
Speaker 1: at cons or whatever. We'll say like, well, how do
Speaker 1: I get into acting? Into voice acting? And and they
Speaker 1: never said that to me when I was doing on
Speaker 1: camera work. There's something I think about voice acting that
Speaker 1: seems more accessible to just random people. But like, at
Speaker 1: the end of the day, it's like little V big a, right, Like,
Speaker 1: so it's all acting and it all comes from that.
Speaker 1: So I always say to people I go take an
Speaker 1: acting class and they go oh, and I'm like, yeah,
Speaker 1: because you could do a million voices. But at the
Speaker 1: end of the day, it's right, yeah, you have to
Speaker 1: be an actor. And so yeah, I don't know. I
Speaker 1: just come at everything from that. And so like with
Speaker 1: her particular arc is like very emotional and whatever. So
Speaker 1: it's just about knowing you know, how to convey all
Speaker 1: that stuff and with your voice and and all that.
Speaker 1: So with the cannon stuff, I mean, you guys, I'm
Speaker 1: the worst. So when I did Avatar, I never read
Speaker 1: the scripts. So because I'm sure I tried to read
Speaker 1: one script that's that's Will's mortal. That's the mortal sin
Speaker 1: of I'm terrible, You're gonna hate, Like I'm actually more
Speaker 1: in your camp. So like like here's the thing, if it,
Speaker 1: if it makes sense, maybe, but like with Avatar, like
Speaker 1: I'm sure I got the first script and I was
Speaker 1: like Fire Nation, Water Tribe something lord like, I don't know,
Speaker 1: I don't know, and I'm sure I went there and
Speaker 1: they said, now this is this, and the four nations
Speaker 1: are fighting and there's one avatar that's going to unite
Speaker 1: everyone and the Chakras and and it just I didn't
Speaker 1: even whatever, right, So I get there and I see
Speaker 1: my character and whatever, and she's pink and she's cute.
Speaker 1: So I just made her pink and cute. I don't know.
Speaker 1: So it wasn't until like eight years later. I was
Speaker 1: at my first comic con ever, this is like ten
Speaker 1: twelve years ago now, and someone said, like, what's it
Speaker 1: like to be a villain? And I said, what do
Speaker 1: you mean? And they said, well, she's a villain. And
Speaker 1: I had no idea, and that's why she's so like
Speaker 1: perky and cute and whatever, because I didn't know. I
Speaker 1: thought she was pink, man. I didn't know. I didn't know,
Speaker 1: so you wait, were you literally not reading the scripts?
Speaker 1: You were just reading your line? Okay? And she you know,
Speaker 1: and she did a great jobs. So funny because we're
Speaker 1: talking just Star Wars' just the Last Airbender, Star Wars.
Speaker 1: I just read some of the biggest in some of
Speaker 1: the biggest franchises. So I take it you are not
Speaker 1: like you don't read fantasy novels. Then the world building
Speaker 1: is not. I like sci fi, but fantasy is the
Speaker 1: one thing that just like doesn't do it for me.
Speaker 1: Like Game of Thrones. All that stuff like just does
Speaker 1: not came of Thrones isn't my favorite either, But that's yeah, interesting.
Speaker 1: I'm more of the Harry Potter and Game of Thrones.
Speaker 1: I'm more of a fantasy I guess are you? Are
Speaker 1: you watching the New House of the Dragon thing? You
Speaker 1: keeping everything? Don't tell me anything. I haven't seen it yet.
Speaker 1: I like to let the entire series come out and
Speaker 1: then I binge it by myself. The kind of waiting
Speaker 1: thing doesn't just alone in a little hole, just in
Speaker 1: a tiny, little darkened room, dressed like a dragon. Perfect
Speaker 1: it's going to be. That's That's what I'm gonna do.
Speaker 1: That we always ask bowl, um, do you because you know,
Speaker 1: one of the other things that you're you're obviously known
Speaker 1: for on camera. You do a lot of on camera work.
Speaker 1: But the Brady Bunch movie sure yeah, um was was
Speaker 1: very big and then the sequels very big too, great films. Uh,
Speaker 1: my question is is there one style you prefer? Do
Speaker 1: you prefer on camera to voiceover? Do you prefer voice
Speaker 1: over to on camera? Do you have one? You know,
Speaker 1: it's like my well, like it wasn't a choice to
Speaker 1: go into voiceover, right, Like my career just went that way,
Speaker 1: and I'm not I resist nothing, So I just kind
Speaker 1: of go with the flow with that stuff. So that's
Speaker 1: a really great mantra. I mean, you know, so it's
Speaker 1: like I like doing on camera, or liked doing on camera,
Speaker 1: but honestly, like I love not memorizing lines. And so
Speaker 1: now every once I really I really don't do on
Speaker 1: camera anymore, but every once in a while I'll get
Speaker 1: an audition and just I when you don't have that
Speaker 1: memory or muscle that you've been using that uh you know,
Speaker 1: muscle memory for performing in line, I mean, it's it's
Speaker 1: just gone. It is gone. I don't know, if you
Speaker 1: guys something truly, but yeah, um so yeah, and also
Speaker 1: too in terms of you want to hear something crazy, Olivia. Yeah, literally,
Speaker 1: when I get auditions, I have a teleprompter, like you
Speaker 1: have your professional teleprompter, but I have a teleprompter. It's
Speaker 1: basically a piece that you can put on your home device,
Speaker 1: your home camera, and you can upload your script and
Speaker 1: you can literally, well will you go. We can't see
Speaker 1: Will is like shaking his head with his head in
Speaker 1: his hands right now. You know why, because I don't
Speaker 1: have the time or the energy either. But look, I
Speaker 1: still watch and I still look at my performance, and
Speaker 1: I still say, I am acting. This is rooted in reality,
Speaker 1: and I look great and I'm not stuttering, and I've
Speaker 1: been acting for so long and the odds are so
Speaker 1: like the odds. It is a very competitive thing. So
Speaker 1: that if you feel strong about your performance, no matter
Speaker 1: what it looks like, as long as you feel like
Speaker 1: it's rooted personally. I think what Olivia is trying to share,
Speaker 1: and I agree with, Okay, is not to sweat the
Speaker 1: small stuff in your performances, like I'm sorry. The learning
Speaker 1: of the dialogue is not small stuff. The reading the
Speaker 1: reading of the material is not small go with me
Speaker 1: on this. Maybe maybe it's just me, but like if
Speaker 1: it's written well, it's a lot easier to memorize than
Speaker 1: if it's just a Most things that you go on
Speaker 1: are terrible, and so you get these things and they
Speaker 1: don't flow or like I do still audition for commercials
Speaker 1: and I had this commercial audition the other day and
Speaker 1: I had to talk about cell phones and five G
Speaker 1: this into and I was just reading. They usually have
Speaker 1: the lines behind the camera and I was reading it,
Speaker 1: and after I did it, he was like, can you
Speaker 1: do it more to camera? He's like, oh, yeah, but
Speaker 1: you know when it gets technical or any of that stuff,
Speaker 1: you know, you know, God, we sound like the laziest
Speaker 1: actors a lot. It's I didn't want to say that,
Speaker 1: but there's a guy on my street he went to Juilliard.
Speaker 1: What's going on? No, it's just there's there's a guy
Speaker 1: on my street who is Australian who is an actor
Speaker 1: and I always see him and he's out walking with
Speaker 1: his wife and his little baby and we always say
Speaker 1: hi to each other. But he's always memorizing his sides
Speaker 1: and his lines. And there's Luke Cook. I don't know,
Speaker 1: Oh is it I don't know who Luke Cook is.
Speaker 1: Maybe you don't know who who this guy. I don't
Speaker 1: know who Luke Cook is. I could be Luke Cook.
Speaker 1: I have no idea who that um. But it's one
Speaker 1: of those things where and then I all people always
Speaker 1: ask like why is everybody that's getting cast British or Australian,
Speaker 1: And it's because they put in the work, that's one
Speaker 1: of the reasons. Probably. So it's we we as Americans
Speaker 1: have have lasified out are acting chops well and also
Speaker 1: like as child actors too. It's like we've been doing
Speaker 1: it so long, Like there is a thing where like
Speaker 1: to our credit, you know, it's that ten thousand hour
Speaker 1: rule or whatever, like once you've been doing something ten
Speaker 1: thousand hours, like you're kind of a professional. And we
Speaker 1: all have and so I don't know what kind of
Speaker 1: rule is that you haven't heard about. That that's the mastery.
Speaker 1: So it doesn't matter what you're doing. If you've done
Speaker 1: it for ten thousand hours, you're kind of an expert. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's why they say the Beatles were so good because
Speaker 1: they played and played and played and played like way
Speaker 1: before and it's a whole thing. Yeah, I'm Malcolm glad,
Speaker 1: I gotta, I gotta go. I gotta put that on
Speaker 1: my teleprompter so I can read it later. It's called
Speaker 1: what's it called, Christie. I'm never going to live that
Speaker 1: one down. That was an honest share and I thought
Speaker 1: I was in a safe space and again I'm not
Speaker 1: again though, But Olivia is percent right. If you don't
Speaker 1: exercise the muscle, you lose it. So if you get
Speaker 1: one of these jobs and you haven't been memorizing the lines,
Speaker 1: working that muscle, you're gonna have trouble again memorizing your dialogue.
Speaker 1: But here's the here's the real rub. What happens if
Speaker 1: you actually book it. That's what I'm saying, and I
Speaker 1: would actually do the job. Okay, Well, speaking of speaking
Speaker 1: of acting, we've got a wonderful scene we're coming into.
Speaker 1: By the way I read, I also read that once too,
Speaker 1: So let's see how that's fine. As long as you've
Speaker 1: got all your spells down, we're going to be good. Um,
Speaker 1: and you are playing a villain. Safe space. That's what
Speaker 1: most important. Is a safe space. It's absolutely a safe
Speaker 1: but you are That's the other thing is you. Your
Speaker 1: resume is ridiculous. You're talking before you got out here
Speaker 1: where it's like we only have an hour show and
Speaker 1: she's done so much, so very quickly. Then before we
Speaker 1: get into across the garden with our wonderful we don't
Speaker 1: like to say, amateur undiscovered voiceover talent, who's going to
Speaker 1: come and play with us for the day. Um, is
Speaker 1: there anything? I mean, you've got a crunchy role hit
Speaker 1: coming out, You've got the new, um Harry Potter game.
Speaker 1: Is there anything you Potter game? We're doing more Brats.
Speaker 1: They've brought Brats back, another huge branch, another huge thing,
Speaker 1: and so we're doing episodes on that for TikTok and
Speaker 1: then I think they're trying to turn that into a
Speaker 1: series as well, and some video games and whatever. So yeah,
Speaker 1: that's god bless like gen Z or whatever. They're bringing
Speaker 1: all this Y two K stuff. They're making me all
Speaker 1: this Y two K stuff. Love that. That's very very
Speaker 1: all right. So it is hip. It's good think. I'm
Speaker 1: so glad. You know how happy Christie I are that
Speaker 1: the nineties are important again. Jeez, I don't know what
Speaker 1: we do. I don't know what we would do. I
Speaker 1: guess if we want to go ahead and bring in
Speaker 1: our are It's Kyle. How are you good? Are you

Speaker 1: Well three are two of us? Are East Coast people here?
Speaker 1: And then Olivia was born and raised in Beverly Hills.
Speaker 1: You can see it on her IMTB Paige. She's in
Speaker 1: a giant mansion too. By the way, is the year
Speaker 1: wrong or right now? It's all unfortunately very correct it is.
Speaker 1: Now do you age differently in giant mansions in Beverly Hills?
Speaker 1: I'm just curious. I mean, clearly, Look, I'm almost forty.
Speaker 1: Look at this, Look at this, Look at this phase?
Speaker 1: Pretty dunk? So Kaylee, what has what has interested you
Speaker 1: in voice overacting? Um? To be honest, the show? Really, Yes,
Speaker 1: you're that's awesome. So I actually, um, I actually went
Speaker 1: to school for theater, live theater, um. And then just
Speaker 1: the kind of roller coaster that is live theater. Um,
Speaker 1: you know how Broadway shows have been closing up down
Speaker 1: left and right, And I actually, um, you know, kind
Speaker 1: of started dipping my feet into this show. And I
Speaker 1: you know, I had always done you know, voices here
Speaker 1: and there, just for fun. But you know, when I
Speaker 1: came across the show, I was like, you know what,
Speaker 1: I think this might be. Uh this, I think this
Speaker 1: might be. That's amazingired somebody, Christie right now? So you
Speaker 1: want to will you will you play with us? Will
Speaker 1: you come and play Across the Guarden with us? Sure?
Speaker 1: So for those of you joining us for the very
Speaker 1: first time ever, we play a fun game called Across
Speaker 1: the Garden where Christy and I came up with two
Speaker 1: very interesting characters right on the fly that we still
Speaker 1: look at each other and go, man, we wish we
Speaker 1: came up with different characters. But we've got our two
Speaker 1: little mice friends, Ricky and Mocha, who are trying to
Speaker 1: make it across the garden so that Mocha can see
Speaker 1: her boyfriend, which is the story. Again we came up
Speaker 1: with on the fly, um, and they've been having trouble
Speaker 1: getting across the garden. So this week Olivia is going

Speaker 1: again will be Mocha and I will be We're just
Speaker 1: reading this like a scene, right, Yeah, just absolutely reading
Speaker 1: it like a scene. And what we're hoping to have
Speaker 1: happen is that because we love people that are trying
Speaker 1: to catch a break in the animation industry, So we're
Speaker 1: going to take all the scenes that we've recorded with
Speaker 1: all of our undiscovered talent, and we're going to have
Speaker 1: amateur um animators animate the hire thing together and we're
Speaker 1: gonna have everybody's gonna get to see themselves in their
Speaker 1: own cartoon, which is going to be really really cool.
Speaker 1: We can't wait. So here we are. I will be
Speaker 1: reading the stage directions and we will go from there.
Speaker 1: So we are fading in exterior woods continuous. We come
Speaker 1: up on Ricky and Mocha standing on the deck of
Speaker 1: a small ocean liner crossing the pond, the wind in
Speaker 1: their hair. This is actually pretty nice. Pan over to
Speaker 1: see Ricky hurling over the side of the boat. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's magical. Well, I mean, at least we're finally going
Speaker 1: to get to them all it has been a bit
Speaker 1: of a journey. Have you decided how you're actually going
Speaker 1: to dump your boyfriend? I want to see his face
Speaker 1: as I tell him what he's done to me. I
Speaker 1: want to look him in the eye when he knows
Speaker 1: that it's over. Or I'll just text him. As the
Speaker 1: siblings are talking to grasshoppers walk behind in mid discussion.
Speaker 1: One of them is dressed to the nines while the
Speaker 1: other looks a bit lower class. Oh, Jack, this just
Speaker 1: can never work. My family has made me after Lord
Speaker 1: John Hoppington the second, and you won your tickets for
Speaker 1: this maiden voyage on the tot on the to tintic
Speaker 1: on a random game of chance a rose. I know,
Speaker 1: I'm just dependingless artists struggling to make it. But we
Speaker 1: can run away together in fine happiness. It won't work.
Speaker 1: It went shot. It was chant. Oh well, can I
Speaker 1: at least draw? You? Draw me? What draw you? You
Speaker 1: know as an artist draws a model? Do you mean? Yes?
Speaker 1: Naked Rose wheels around on? Jack? Are you crazy? In
Speaker 1: this day and age? Something like that gets in the
Speaker 1: Internet and never disappears. Lord John's family would never accept me.
Speaker 1: Then Jack turns, Wait, you're still going to marry Lord
Speaker 1: John Hoppington, the second yer, watching the scene play out.
Speaker 1: Watch this. Of course I'm still marrying him. His family
Speaker 1: don't half the garden. But come on, man, you're a
Speaker 1: nice guy and all, but you're a fling. You're a
Speaker 1: nice distraction. I can think about in the years to
Speaker 1: come when my mega wealthy husband is working too much
Speaker 1: and the tennis instructor stopped seeing someone else. Oh, I
Speaker 1: thought we really had something. I thought we were in love,
Speaker 1: and I thought you were the bell hop deliver in
Speaker 1: my bags. We all make mistakes, dude, a voice out.
Speaker 1: I spurg dead dead, Thank god. I would rather this
Speaker 1: whole built sinc Than spending out a second with you.
Speaker 1: Back at your chief. I'm gonna go find a lifeboat
Speaker 1: while you hunt down some woman's close so you don't
Speaker 1: have to float on a door or something. She turns
Speaker 1: to leave, Tootles Jack is left in the deck by himself.
Speaker 1: Well that didn't go the way I thought it would.
Speaker 1: Ricky and Moka walk over. That's love, man, it totally sucks. No, No,
Speaker 1: that's not true. Love can be a beautiful thing filled
Speaker 1: with passion and respect. How would you know? At Nicholas
Speaker 1: Barks novels, The gang just looks over in time to
Speaker 1: see a giant floating slushy cup clip the side of
Speaker 1: the boat. It immediately starts to sink. Well, here we go, Rickey,

Speaker 1: guidebook episode to episode on how to sort of build
Speaker 1: your you know, your footing in what you want to
Speaker 1: do and what you want to contribute to the voice
Speaker 1: acting world. It feels it's so much more accessible now,
Speaker 1: especially like, yeah, I don't know doing all these cons,
