Speaker 2: just started faking it. I just started eating normally and

Speaker 2: a pretty important episode because you are joining us for
Speaker 2: the last round of the Sweet sixteen to help to
Speaker 2: pick who goes on to the Elite eight. Yes, so
Speaker 2: to bring you up to date on what's going on.
Speaker 2: We have seven incredible contestants, so we have as you
Speaker 2: well know, because you are part of this little show
Speaker 2: called The Critical Role.
Speaker 1: It's a little show that we never talk about every
Speaker 1: single week.
Speaker 2: It's tiny. There's so much four or five people that
Speaker 2: watch this show.
Speaker 4: All right.
Speaker 2: Anyway, before we get into our show, let's get into
Speaker 2: your show a little bit. Can you tell us a
Speaker 2: little bit. Let's start first, because we are strictly a
Speaker 2: voiceover show, Let's start first with your voiceover career. Just
Speaker 2: very briefly. How did you get started in the in
Speaker 2: the industry?
Speaker 3: Oh? Man, I started kind of fresh out of high school.
Speaker 3: I was in Texas and I know that's where I
Speaker 3: was doing. Uh you saw my pajama pants for a second.
Speaker 4: I was doing a play in Dallas and uh, one
Speaker 4: of the people in the show was a voice actor
Speaker 4: for Funnimation, which did like Dragon Ball Z and at
Speaker 4: the time it was it.
Speaker 3: Was basically Dragon Ball Z, that's what they did.
Speaker 4: And he asked if I were to come in an audition,
Speaker 4: and I had never even thought that voiceover could be
Speaker 4: a thing. And I went an auditioned and had a
Speaker 4: blast lost my voice in the callbacks.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like you want, like you exactly what you want.
Speaker 4: Because I had no vocal control, you know, had not
Speaker 4: learned my lessons now. But yeah, and then I ended
Speaker 4: up getting cast as kid Trunks on Dragon Ball Z
Speaker 4: and then it just kind of been there.
Speaker 2: So where now you've obviously you've done a ton of
Speaker 2: I mean, we can talk about all the Marvel stuff
Speaker 2: you do, and you and I have worked together a
Speaker 2: lot in the Marvel world and all, you know that
Speaker 2: kind of thing. But you really just hit it out
Speaker 2: of the park in the video game world. How did
Speaker 2: that come into play?
Speaker 3: Well? Outside of Funimation?
Speaker 4: I started doing video games very very early as well,
Speaker 4: and I did a video game called blood Rain in Texas.
Speaker 4: That was the first video game I ever did. And
Speaker 4: I was a Nazi killing vampire.
Speaker 2: Of course, like you did.
Speaker 3: Kind and yeah, it.
Speaker 4: Just kind of all happened at the same time. And
Speaker 4: then when I came out to La, you know, there's
Speaker 4: I mean, there's there's recording in Texas. There's stuff to
Speaker 4: be done, but there's.
Speaker 1: Not a ton I need to get a job, guys,
Speaker 1: I need to Is this still happening?
Speaker 2: This is awesome. That's good. Then you can afford some
Speaker 2: stuff to hang behind you.
Speaker 1: I mean, this is sad guy, right look at her.
Speaker 1: She's got all you.
Speaker 3: You could be, you could be anywhere right now.
Speaker 2: Exactly every time we start the show, I ask her
Speaker 2: to hold up today's paper so I know she's safe.
Speaker 2: It's just the easiest way to do it, like, oh,
Speaker 2: thank god, that's Today's We're good. So moving out to La,
Speaker 2: did you because one of the things we talk about
Speaker 2: on the show a lot is how, I mean, the
Speaker 2: video game world not only took voiceover to a whole
Speaker 2: different level, but it became this hybrid between live action
Speaker 2: and voice acting that you really can't find anywhere else.
Speaker 2: So did you jump right into the mocap world or
Speaker 2: did you start strictly vo.
Speaker 4: I started strictly V I'd been in California working for
Speaker 4: I don't know, I don't know a few years and
Speaker 4: I got an audition for motion capture and I had
Speaker 4: no idea really what it was. We had worked with
Speaker 4: a stunt coordinator on another project and he brought us in,
Speaker 4: Me and Travis. I say us like the Royal Wey
Speaker 4: or something, of course, and Travis is in the kitchen
Speaker 4: over there.
Speaker 2: I'm sure he'll pop in at some point, and.
Speaker 4: So we went an auditioned for it ended up getting
Speaker 4: cast on this project that filmed in Japan, so we
Speaker 4: shot motion capture.
Speaker 3: I think it was for was it for Konami?
Speaker 4: I can't remember. It ended up not being made. We
Speaker 4: worked on it for like two months and the project
Speaker 4: ended up getting.
Speaker 3: Scrapped after a while. It's fun.
Speaker 4: I never saw the light of day, but it was
Speaker 4: my first experience with motion capture and I realized how
Speaker 4: much I loved it. And then it just you know,
Speaker 4: the industry has evolved so much as we've been working
Speaker 4: in it, and now so much of it is mo
Speaker 4: cap and I think I just looked out that I
Speaker 4: got in when it was very early and I understood
Speaker 4: the process, and then so that experience kept helping me
Speaker 4: get more jobs.
Speaker 2: You know, it's amazing. I mean it truly is. It's
Speaker 2: one of those things where I'm not a huge gamer anymore,
Speaker 2: just because once they added the third button on the remote,
Speaker 2: I was lost. But other than that, it was A
Speaker 2: and B.
Speaker 3: I'm good turn it up and down?
Speaker 2: Really that aut Oh no, they added an X button
Speaker 2: and I was like, what's happened? So but the best
Speaker 2: storytelling is now all done in video games because it
Speaker 2: can it actually can tell the whole story, and it's
Speaker 2: something that is just off the chart. So yes, we
Speaker 2: could sit here all day and talk about how you're
Speaker 2: amazing at what you do and your resume is ridiculous,
Speaker 2: But it's not about us. It's about finding the next US, okay,
Speaker 2: and we need your help. So every week we have
Speaker 2: we we actually had we thought, as you know, I
Speaker 2: came on to your show on Critical Role and we
Speaker 2: announced the contest there and we announced some other places,
Speaker 2: so we thought we were going to have you know,
Speaker 2: five six, seven hundred kind of people. We had almost
Speaker 2: forty five hundred entries. We literally went through every single one.
Speaker 4: How how how I think it was you guys A
Speaker 4: long time?
Speaker 2: Yeah, you guys. I think it was because of a
Speaker 2: Critical Role that we really it exploded. So we three
Speaker 2: of us went through forty five hundred entries.
Speaker 3: How did we do that?
Speaker 2: It was sitting in the room that was one after the.
Speaker 1: Being like Christy got a pinish.
Speaker 2: We've got more more. But we have come up. We
Speaker 2: picked our final sixteen and we have come up with
Speaker 2: our first round to get to the elite eight. We
Speaker 2: came up with a game that is called by the Numbers,
Speaker 2: and we're going to need you to help us with
Speaker 2: buy the numbers. So what by the Numbers is is
Speaker 2: we have three lines of actually, well, the contestants that
Speaker 2: we have no of two lines of dialogue that we
Speaker 2: have that we've sent to them ahead of time. We
Speaker 2: then have four categories size, what are you age? And
Speaker 2: a wacky attribute with numbers. You will pick Laura. You
Speaker 2: will create a character on the spot that the actors
Speaker 2: then have to do with the lines of dialogue that
Speaker 2: we have given them. After each round, we will give
Speaker 2: them notes and they will try it again and then
Speaker 2: they move on to line too. Now the wrinkle is
Speaker 2: after the first two lines, we will then be throwing
Speaker 2: them a line three that they have not seen yet
Speaker 2: and will then create another character on the spot and
Speaker 2: they will have to read cold after they It's not easy,
Speaker 2: and some of the combinations we come up with, we're going,
Speaker 2: I don't know what we would do, it's really not
Speaker 2: So we will then put them in their waiting rooms
Speaker 2: and then decide which one of them moves on and
Speaker 2: which one of them unfortunately, will have to look elsewhere
Speaker 2: because we know that all these people are so talented
Speaker 2: that they're going to get signed somehow, but they will
Speaker 2: no longer be in the contest, So we take them
Speaker 2: how they come. And the first one that we have
Speaker 2: to is Mia from Florida. So if we can bring
Speaker 2: Mia in and introduce her, that would be phenomenal. Hello, Hi, well,
Speaker 2: I already like her voice. Thank you, Mia. If you
Speaker 2: could tell us very briefly what drew you to be
Speaker 2: wanting to become a voiceover actor.
Speaker 5: Well, growing up as a blind individual, you know, music
Speaker 5: and audio is very very important to me because I
Speaker 5: felt like it was something that I could really connect
Speaker 5: with other people on, like it was something that I
Speaker 5: could actually listen to and be like, oh, I can
Speaker 5: experience this sensation just like the rest of you can.
Speaker 5: So obviously I grew up in theater. I did a
Speaker 5: lot of stage work. But my only problem was they're
Speaker 5: always like.
Speaker 6: Wow, your voice is so expressive.
Speaker 5: However your body language is is a little bit lacking.
Speaker 5: So I was like, what can I do with vocal
Speaker 5: things that you know? And then I found voiceover and
Speaker 5: then the apocalypse happened, obviously, and that was a really
Speaker 5: great time to just you know, sit down, get all
Speaker 5: the equipment, get everything started. And it's been a wonderful journey.
Speaker 1: I love it so much.
Speaker 7: It's my life.
Speaker 3: It's wonderful.
Speaker 2: That is incredible, and I'm taking so much away from
Speaker 2: what you just said. But I heard you were blind.
Speaker 2: Is that what you just said? I can't believe.
Speaker 1: Vision and pair ways we can say that all that
Speaker 1: so I think she gets to pick jokes.
Speaker 2: It's so funny. Thank you so much. We will do
Speaker 2: you have your two lines of dialogue that we send perfect.
Speaker 2: We will be right back with you to begin round one.
Speaker 2: Thank you so much.
Speaker 4: Thank you.
Speaker 2: That's incredible, unbelievable. This is going to be a fun week.
Speaker 2: I can already tell wow. All right, now let's bring
Speaker 2: in contestant number two. We are bringing in Austin from Virginia.
Speaker 3: Hello, he.
Speaker 2: Very quickly, can you tell us what led you to
Speaker 2: wanting to become a voice over actor.
Speaker 8: Well, I've been acting, performing, singing, and dancing since since
Speaker 8: pre school. My mom was really the one who taught
Speaker 8: me all of my foundations for storyteller. For storytelling, storytelling
Speaker 8: is really the goal. I love live action, I love animation.
Speaker 8: I've been collecting voices my entire life since even before then.
Speaker 8: And I've never had an agent. But I have won city, state,
Speaker 8: and national awards, scholarships, and competitions for writing, acting, and
Speaker 8: directing for film and theater. Wow, which all sounds cool,
Speaker 8: but it doesn't exactly mean anything if you're broke.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 8: But but I haven't competed in a while, so this
Speaker 8: is like really exciting. Storytelling just means a lot to me.
Speaker 2: Some of the most.
Speaker 8: Important movies ever made were animated movies or TV shows
Speaker 8: Iron Giant, Grape Mouse, Detective Rescuers, down On. So I'm here,
Speaker 8: let's do this.
Speaker 2: You got Austin love that?
Speaker 3: Where did you say you're located Austin.
Speaker 8: I'm actually just outside of d C. I'm actually in
Speaker 8: the Stafford Quantico area of Virginia.
Speaker 2: So, like the FBI Academy is listening to you, less
Speaker 2: than a mile oh, definitely, they've rigged to the contest
Speaker 2: them fed well, thank you so much, Austin, you have
Speaker 2: the two lines of dialogue we sent you. I do perfect.
Speaker 2: We will be back with you. Your fellow contestant got
Speaker 2: here first, and we are going just by order of
Speaker 2: how people arrived, so we will be right back with
Speaker 2: you to start round one. Thank you so much. All right,
Speaker 2: let's bring in Mia. Here we go people the last
Speaker 2: round of round one, to see whos going to be
Speaker 2: an elite the elite.
Speaker 1: This is crazy, this is going to be a doozy.
Speaker 2: I can't wait. It is a ton of fun. So
Speaker 2: here we go and we are bringing Mia back.
Speaker 4: Hi.
Speaker 1: Hi.
Speaker 2: By the way, I am so excited that I forgot
Speaker 2: to introduce you to Laura Bailey and Krista Carlson Romano
Speaker 2: and myself. I'm Wilfredell. Welcome to the show.
Speaker 3: Is here.
Speaker 1: I'm just like a stage five clinger.
Speaker 2: And thank you. And so as you know, we are
Speaker 2: going to be starting round one here with your first
Speaker 2: line of dialogue and the redoubtable, which has become one
Speaker 2: of my favorite words ever. Laura Bailey is going to
Speaker 2: decide what character you are going to do. Line one
Speaker 2: in so, Laura, if you would please, could you give
Speaker 2: me a number between one and six?
Speaker 3: And I don't know what any of these numbers mean?
Speaker 2: Nope, no, okay, did you will?
Speaker 6: Soon?
Speaker 3: I will say number four?
Speaker 2: And can you give me a number between one and twelve?
Speaker 3: Seven?
Speaker 2: And now a number between one and seven two, and
Speaker 2: finally a number between one and eleven eleven? Oh, I
Speaker 2: like this, Christy? Can you please tell us what character? Mia?
Speaker 4: Will be?
Speaker 2: Ready?
Speaker 3: All right?
Speaker 1: All right, miss Mia? You are a small flower.
Speaker 7: Oh who's five years old and is an athletic coach?
Speaker 5: Oh my gosh, I love it.
Speaker 2: So there is an interesting combination for you, a small
Speaker 2: five year old flower, oh who's an athletic coach? Line
Speaker 2: number one, Mia at your pleasure sounds great? NiFe is
Speaker 2: so strange?
Speaker 5: Why do I sometimes feel like someone just made me up?
Speaker 5: Like they picked random numbers off of the list and
Speaker 5: I'm a cane. Jeez, it's such a weird feeling.
Speaker 2: Wow. Yeah, that's a pretty strong start. Lord. Do you
Speaker 2: have any notes from me?
Speaker 1: Is there any way to make her sound more innocent
Speaker 1: like that?
Speaker 2: Okay?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Anything else? Mia?
Speaker 1: I think we always say, like, okay, we got that
Speaker 1: she was small? We got that, you know, I generally
Speaker 1: I could definitely envision her being a flower. She had
Speaker 1: that kind of flowery feeling to her voice. You know,
Speaker 1: it's very sing song and magical. And I think, like
Speaker 1: I agree, I think that the five year old. There
Speaker 1: were two things that were gonna just we can improve
Speaker 1: on in this second take would be that five year old,
Speaker 1: which Laura I think was hinting out with it being
Speaker 1: feeling a little bit more like you said innocent, yes, okay.
Speaker 1: How do you think that would play in the voice
Speaker 1: in that way?
Speaker 3: I usually feel like.
Speaker 4: When you're doing it's hard for adults to voice children
Speaker 4: because we have our own, like adult ways of inflecting things.
Speaker 4: So maybe like change up some of the inflections in
Speaker 4: just like unique ways ways that would maybe sound wrong
Speaker 4: to an adult.
Speaker 3: That's how kids like would blurt.
Speaker 1: Something out, yes, I feel that okay, And then the
Speaker 1: athletic coach.
Speaker 2: Right, that's what I was gonna say. I would say,
Speaker 2: I know, I know we're throwing a lot at you,
Speaker 2: but I got I got young, I got flower. Maybe
Speaker 2: for the second round, lean a little bit into athletic coach.
Speaker 2: I'd like to see what that would sound like.
Speaker 5: Already, all right, So it's fun, it.
Speaker 2: Gets it, it gets crazy. Yeah, so uh there you go,
Speaker 2: line number one, me at your pleasure, all right, life
Speaker 2: is so strange.
Speaker 5: Why do I sometimes feel like someone just made me up,
Speaker 5: like be picked random numbers off all this and I can't.
Speaker 1: Jeez, come on, come on, it's such a weird feeling.
Speaker 2: You get it, you get wow. Wow, good adjustments. Thank
Speaker 2: you very much. We will be back with you in
Speaker 2: a second.
Speaker 9: Thank you.
Speaker 1: Well, guys, this is the last round and it is
Speaker 1: going to be a hard one.
Speaker 3: I can already tell.
Speaker 2: That was that was pretty That was pretty great. I
Speaker 2: also thought that she took the direction really well.
Speaker 3: You really did?
Speaker 2: Yeah, which really did you know? That's when we're looking
Speaker 2: for an all around voice actor. That's what you're looking
Speaker 2: we always say, Laura. We are looking for somebody that
Speaker 2: the second day win, if they win on a Monday Tuesday,
Speaker 2: they could be in the booth with us.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: So some she sounded very good. Inflection was was great,
Speaker 2: and love the.
Speaker 4: Way a hard thing because the two notes were like
Speaker 4: kind of contradictory.
Speaker 3: Also more like an athletic coach. And she fully did it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was insane all right. So let's bring Austin in. Hey, Austin,
Speaker 2: how are you hello again? All right, so here we go.
Speaker 2: We are going to be starting with line one. Laura,
Speaker 2: if you would please a number between one and.
Speaker 3: Six oh five.
Speaker 2: And now a number between one and twelve eight, and
Speaker 2: now a number between one and seven two.
Speaker 3: Oh, I did it too before it didn't Is it
Speaker 3: the same thing?
Speaker 2: Yep? Great, three, three, and now finally a number between
Speaker 2: one and eleven four. Christ right, oh, I like this.
Speaker 1: You're at You're a tiny fish who is ten years
Speaker 1: old and is in the middle of an allergic reaction.
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, let's Austin's like. I got this.
Speaker 1: Let's go tiny fish ten years old in the middle
Speaker 1: of an allergic reaction.
Speaker 2: All right, Austin, go ahead. Life is so strange. Why
Speaker 2: do I sometimes feel like someone.
Speaker 10: Just win me up, like they picked relgium numbers off
Speaker 10: the list and the outside cabe jeez, that's what's a
Speaker 10: weird feeling?
Speaker 2: Totally quite waitful.
Speaker 3: Wamy epi pen oh I like it, Laura?
Speaker 4: Any notes it is there any way to make it
Speaker 4: sound a little bit younger.
Speaker 3: I would like to hear it without the without the.
Speaker 4: Mouth effect, to see if you can just do something
Speaker 4: without the pulley on the cheek, Okay for sure.
Speaker 11: Christy, Uh yeah, I think you could play with the
Speaker 11: allergic reaction to It's kind of tricky because you're playing
Speaker 11: fish and sometimes playing fish and like Watery, you also
Speaker 11: can get into the the nose.
Speaker 1: I think that the allergic reaction thing can also be
Speaker 1: in a sneeze or a cough or like a wheeze.
Speaker 1: Like I think they're that we're giving you a lot,
Speaker 1: but I think you can. I think you can. I
Speaker 1: think you're doing it, doing it great, Okay.
Speaker 2: And I would say, Austin, let's just make sure for
Speaker 2: the first thing we got to do is we got
Speaker 2: to make sure we can hear the dialogue. So we
Speaker 2: want to make sure that you're enunciating the words and
Speaker 2: we're adding the words.
Speaker 1: Tiny isn't something that I really got from that, right,
Speaker 1: He's tiny.
Speaker 2: That's the other thing we've always said, though, is you
Speaker 2: can always play against type so.
Speaker 3: And that's good.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I almost exactly.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know what it is, but I loved
Speaker 1: I loved his take on it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, tiny, tiny can be big and big can be tiny.
Speaker 2: So Austin, why don't you just give it one more
Speaker 2: shot with the ninety three things we just threw at you,
Speaker 2: some of them contradicting each other. Give it one more time,
Speaker 2: one more tri Austin at your pleasure?
Speaker 12: Life is so strange? Why do I sometimes I feel

Speaker 2: direction well too. But frankly, I thought her Round one
Speaker 2: was so good. Yeah that I think she's got the
Speaker 2: slight edge over round one, if that's just my opinion.
Speaker 2: But I thought she was great.
Speaker 4: I mean, I think you could fully picture what she
Speaker 4: was doing as the description, right, you saw a little flower.
Speaker 3: I feel like with Austin.
Speaker 4: The voice was hilarious, the ad libs were hilarious.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I was picturing like droopy dog me too. Yeah,
Speaker 3: And he created the jewel effect.
Speaker 2: He went jowey, So looks like I was down here
Speaker 2: a little bit. Yeah. That being said, you know, certainly
Speaker 2: nobody's running away with it after round one, but she
Speaker 2: really was great. I'd like to see. Let's see if
Speaker 2: something happens where she has to play completely against little
Speaker 2: girl or little kid and see the range, and if
Speaker 2: we can bring Mia back in and we will start
Speaker 2: line number two.
Speaker 1: Helonia plant time. No see, I'm sorry, that's about you.
Speaker 2: Nice, very nice. All right, so we are too, round
Speaker 2: number two, line number two, and here we go. If
Speaker 2: you would please, Laura a number between one and six six,
Speaker 2: and now a number between one and twelve three, and
Speaker 2: now a number between one and seven six, and finally
Speaker 2: a number between one and eleven.
Speaker 3: Eight.
Speaker 1: Christy, you're a microscopic sixty year old mouse who's been
Speaker 1: stuck in traffic for six hours.
Speaker 2: That's amazing.
Speaker 3: I think you can do it.
Speaker 2: Well, let's see, let's do what so Mia? There you
Speaker 2: go on? Do you need their description again?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 1: I think I got it.
Speaker 5: Okay, we got the microscope, big, we got the mouse,
Speaker 5: I got sixty years old, you know, traffic?
Speaker 2: Perfect?
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 1: Yeah, if there's one thing that older people probably don't like.
Speaker 2: Being all right, Mia, line number two at your pleasure already.
Speaker 5: Okay, the costume is all done, You've need some of
Speaker 5: the equipment, and I live in a city filled with crime.
Speaker 1: Time to go be a superhero?
Speaker 2: Wait?
Speaker 5: Mom, can you drive me to be a superhero?
Speaker 2: Laura? And you notice.
Speaker 3: Can we hear it? Uh? With a little bit more age? Well,
Speaker 3: so she's only sixty, right, let's just push it.
Speaker 1: I know it's like we're talking like sissy, right.
Speaker 3: I know we're not talking like ninety.
Speaker 2: But let's make it ninety. Let's make it ninety here further. Yeah,
Speaker 2: let's let's try to push everything. Let's make it ninety.
Speaker 2: I don't have a problem with that. We want to
Speaker 2: we want to push you out of your comfort zone.
Speaker 2: So let's let's see what ninety year old mouse sounds like.
Speaker 1: All right, Christy, Yeah, I mean I got I want
Speaker 1: to push it even farther, like if this is really
Speaker 1: just for us to see you have fun with it,
Speaker 1: and to push it even farther if she's ninety. It's
Speaker 1: so funny how you can use the words on the
Speaker 1: page right well, and Laura, like, I feel like that's
Speaker 1: sometimes all you can do is use the words on
Speaker 1: the page with you know, three three adjectives or whatever
Speaker 1: they're giving you for this little character, which is exactly
Speaker 1: this simulation. And I think it's the words that we're discussing, right,
Speaker 1: is she's ninety and she's still expecting her mom to
Speaker 1: drive her. She's also stuck in traffic, so it's like
Speaker 1: she's honestly yeah, So I would just say, really play
Speaker 1: into the frustration and how you know you still have
Speaker 1: to be a superhero. You've probably been a superhero for
Speaker 1: a really long time. You should be retired playing yes.
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, there you go. That's that's great. So let's
Speaker 2: let's hear that, okay, and then go from there. So Mia,
Speaker 2: line number two at your pleasure, Thank you very much.
Speaker 7: Okay, the costume result done.
Speaker 5: I've made some of the equipment, and I live in
Speaker 5: a city filled with crime.
Speaker 1: Time to go be a superhero?
Speaker 2: Wait, mom, can you drive me to go there? Superhero?
Speaker 2: Thank you very much. Mia, We'll be right back with you.
Speaker 3: Thank you.
Speaker 2: See that's what I mean. She's great, But it's if
Speaker 2: once she's out of her comfort zone, it's.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, Well you know what's interesting is I think
Speaker 4: I mean, it would have made sense for her to
Speaker 4: take it really small again, and I think she wanted
Speaker 4: to show sure that she can do something other than
Speaker 4: that teeny voice, you know.
Speaker 2: Which is again it's okay. We all know actors that
Speaker 2: go in and they you know, they have their specific
Speaker 2: to kind of what they do. They're great at what
Speaker 2: they do. Oh, but that's what they do. You know.
Speaker 2: I've often said, you know, most of us, myself very
Speaker 2: much at the top of this list, can't do fifty voices.
Speaker 2: You know, we're not Eric Bausa. Most of us we
Speaker 2: can do a couple and as long as the acting's there.
Speaker 1: That's what I was going to say.
Speaker 2: That's what I was going to say.
Speaker 1: Well, I think what I've learned, and it's something that
Speaker 1: I've learned through this experience of this contest.
Speaker 3: Is that what makes the.
Speaker 1: Actor stand out is that is that interpretation of what
Speaker 1: they're given, sure, and and just how much they put
Speaker 1: their their imprint on it. Right Like when we know
Speaker 1: that people are getting hired in Hollywood because they bring
Speaker 1: something to the words on the page, like I said again,
Speaker 1: and so it's like, Okay, we know that they're going
Speaker 1: to put their stamp on it, and that creativity is
Speaker 1: going to live through those characters. It doesn't necessarily mean
Speaker 1: I think that the the like, you know, the voice
Speaker 1: has to be wild or big, all that different. It
Speaker 1: just has to be the approach to the content I
Speaker 1: think has to be at a professional level.
Speaker 2: Now I agree, So all right, well let's speaking of
Speaker 2: the approach. Let's see how Austin approaches line number two here,
Speaker 2: and we'll bring Austin back in another tough week. Hey Austin. Hello,
Speaker 2: all right, so line number two here we go, Laura,
Speaker 2: if you would please the number between one and six?
Speaker 3: What haven't I chosen? One?
Speaker 2: Fair enough? Now number between one and twelve?
Speaker 3: Twelve?
Speaker 2: And oh fine, a number between one and seven.
Speaker 3: Two today, I say two.
Speaker 2: You've done two, but not for actually not for Austin,
Speaker 2: so that's perfect. And now finally a number between one
Speaker 2: and eleven.
Speaker 3: Ten.
Speaker 2: I love this, Christy.
Speaker 1: You're a giant teddy bear who is five years old
Speaker 1: and is afraid of your own shadow.
Speaker 2: Cute, good combo, love that cat? All right, all right, Austin,
Speaker 2: at your pleasure.
Speaker 13: Okay, the costume's all done, and I've made some equipment,
Speaker 13: and I live in a city filled with crime. Time
Speaker 13: to go be a superhero?
Speaker 2: Awake mom? Mom? Can can you go trive me to
Speaker 2: be a superhero? Flora any notes.
Speaker 4: Two things I would like to see if you can
Speaker 4: make the voice any bigger, fuller, you know, and also
Speaker 4: try speeding up the read a little.
Speaker 8: Bit, speeding it up, okay, and can I get can
Speaker 8: I get the description real quick so I can again,
Speaker 8: just to be.
Speaker 1: A giant, a giant teddy bear, a giant five year
Speaker 1: old teddy bear, and you are afraid of your own shadow.
Speaker 2: Okay, By the way, I agree with both of those
Speaker 2: notes from Laura. That's exactly what I was going to say.
Speaker 2: I would say, let's more giant, let's let's hear some size,
Speaker 2: and uh, let's let's speed up the dialogue a little bit,
Speaker 2: smooth it out.
Speaker 1: And also just more fearful throughout, I would say too.
Speaker 2: Yeah, just those fourteen notes.
Speaker 3: I was always going to say it.
Speaker 2: That's good. That's good though, That's what we have to do.
Speaker 2: So you have you're going to get directors that are
Speaker 2: yelling at you through the glass a bunch of different things.
Speaker 2: So at your at your pleasure whenever you want.
Speaker 13: Okay, the costume is all done, and I've made some equipment,
Speaker 13: and I live in a city filled with crime.
Speaker 10: Time to go be a superhero. Oh wait, mom, Mom,
Speaker 10: can you drive me to go be a superhero?
Speaker 12: Please?
Speaker 2: Thank you very much, We will be right back with you.
Speaker 3: Awesome.
Speaker 2: I think she takes the direction a little better than
Speaker 2: he does, I'm honest.
Speaker 4: I also think that the voice type was outside of his,
Speaker 4: like he's got a good hero voice, like a really
Speaker 4: good like oh if he's just like a.
Speaker 1: Teenager a spider Man type exactly.
Speaker 2: So you know what we might have to do, which
Speaker 2: we did this last week, and I'm thinking this might
Speaker 2: be the way that we kind of start doing round
Speaker 2: three if we for the very last contestant we've ever had,
Speaker 2: if we think that somebody's has a comfort zone, maybe
Speaker 2: we try to go to that for the next one
Speaker 2: we create. So we try to create something for him
Speaker 2: that is in his comfort zone, in his wheelhouse, so
Speaker 2: we can see, all right, here's your character, here's the
Speaker 2: ideal character for you. What would you do? Because I
Speaker 2: almost feel like Mia got that in the first round
Speaker 2: with the five year old age, you know, so it's
Speaker 2: it seems like she was kind of right in her
Speaker 2: wheelhouse right from the start, and maybe we want to
Speaker 2: give him a shot where he's right in the wheelhouse.
Speaker 2: So maybe we have Laura create a superhero character for
Speaker 2: him kind of towards the end for next round, and
Speaker 2: we'll see what he can do.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I like that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so there's a fairness to it. But so far,
Speaker 2: so far, and again just me speaking, I have her
Speaker 2: to nil on him so far round wise, but I
Speaker 2: do want to give him a shot to really be
Speaker 2: in his wheelhouse and see what's going to go on,
Speaker 2: because Laura, if he does, if he comes in and
Speaker 2: kills it. We have something that Christy created called the
Speaker 2: Tongue Tist the Tongue Twister Tiebreaker Challenge which I can't
Speaker 2: even say, I can't even say the title, which we've
Speaker 2: only had to we'll only had to implement once. But
Speaker 2: what we shall see. So let's bring me back in
Speaker 2: for round three. Hello, Hello, Hello, hey Miah, Hey, do
Speaker 2: you have the third line that we're going to be doing.
Speaker 5: Let me check if it's in the comments. I can
Speaker 5: do my own thing and make it really big so
Speaker 5: you don't need to worry about it.
Speaker 2: Okay, perfect, Then that's what we are going to do.
Speaker 2: That's absolutely wonderful, excellent, So there you go. We're going
Speaker 2: to do line three for you, and we are going
Speaker 2: to have the unbelievable. I like that the best way.
Speaker 2: The unbelievable Laura Belly once again create Ay, I just
Speaker 2: keep using redoubtable, which I love, but most people don't
Speaker 2: know what it means. The unbelievable Laura Belly is once
Speaker 2: again and going to create a character for you. Laura.
Speaker 2: I'm going to say this off the bat, not to
Speaker 2: in any way, shape or form influence you. But when
Speaker 2: we get to wrap, when we get to the fourth category,
Speaker 2: if you were to pick one of the first three numbers,
Speaker 2: other stuff might happen. This is all I'm gonna say.
Speaker 2: Role for initiative. Okay, So here we go. But first,
Speaker 2: a number between one and six. One I meant for
Speaker 2: the fourth one, but that works too.
Speaker 14: Went across the board, Jesus one all the way. Actually
Speaker 14: one that would? Is that what you're gonna do that?
Speaker 14: Nobody has ever done that?
Speaker 3: So I will.
Speaker 2: Christy, what do we got?
Speaker 1: You are a British giant dog who is ancient, proper British,
Speaker 1: proper British.
Speaker 2: Oh boy, ancient proper British giant dog. Thank Lor Belly
Speaker 2: for that. Thank you, So your secret line number three
Speaker 2: at your pleasure, all.
Speaker 7: Right, And here it is noon only wonderful Monday, and
Speaker 7: I hope your week starts with walks, bulls being thrown
Speaker 7: in some big stretchers.
Speaker 5: We're going to keep it going now, it's a classic
Speaker 5: pardon this is a walk in the park by the.
Speaker 1: Boo wos here on easy one oh.
Speaker 2: To the book.
Speaker 1: Wow it actually being perfect? Why did you guys write
Speaker 1: this for that?
Speaker 2: Seriously? Wow? Okay, Laura, any notes.
Speaker 3: I don't know how much like dialogue training like. It
Speaker 3: is kind of crazy to throw out just like a
Speaker 3: random accent.
Speaker 4: But if we can try to keep it a little
Speaker 4: more consistent throughout, because we kind of lost it about
Speaker 4: halfway through.
Speaker 3: I think that's and ancient on top of it.
Speaker 4: We already had you do a nine year old and
Speaker 4: there's another ancient character.
Speaker 2: Make her younger or him younger, make make the character younger.
Speaker 2: That's no problem, keep it. Let's keep it in your
Speaker 2: wheelhouse for where you feel comfortable with the age of
Speaker 2: the character. Why don't we do that, miya? So however,
Speaker 2: you take take away ancient and let's make it whatever
Speaker 2: age you feel comfortable making the character. We want to
Speaker 2: make this Round three? Is she still giant in your wearehouse?
Speaker 1: Is she still a giant dog.
Speaker 2: Sure, because giant can be you can. You can play giant.
Speaker 2: However you want to play giant, I'd still play Clifford
Speaker 2: like this. So yes, it's kind of up to you
Speaker 2: how you would like to do it. But and then
Speaker 2: the other thing I would say is maybe, and I
Speaker 2: know this is tough because we just threw the line
Speaker 2: at you, but smooth it out a little bit all
Speaker 2: the way through. Yeah, and maybe slow it down a
Speaker 2: little bit and pick your moments if that makes sense.
Speaker 5: All right, It sounds like a plan anytime. And it
Speaker 5: is noon only, wonderful Monday, and I hope your week's
Speaker 5: thoughts with looks balls being thrown in some big stretches,
Speaker 5: we are.
Speaker 1: Going to keep it going.
Speaker 7: Now, let's say classic this.
Speaker 5: Is Walk in the Park, Bye, bow wows here on
Speaker 5: easy went into the book.
Speaker 3: We'll be back.
Speaker 1: Yeah, what a what a cutie? Huh?
Speaker 2: That was great?
Speaker 3: Yes, adorable.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And for the record, some people can't do a
Speaker 2: whole bunch of dialects.
Speaker 1: I got to be honest, like I I agree with you.
Speaker 1: I know that that wasn't for accurate accuracy saying the
Speaker 1: best proper, But the character like she approached it with
Speaker 1: such like energy that it did feel fun.
Speaker 2: And not everybody, not every buddy is Trevor de Valls. Yeah, British,
Speaker 2: but you've been here for a while, the home of British.
Speaker 2: But no, it's again, not everybody is Trevor Deval. Not
Speaker 2: everybody can instantly snap into a thousand different dialects. And
Speaker 2: now we will bring in uh for for the last round. Here,
Speaker 2: let's bring him back one more time.
Speaker 1: I can't believe how accurate that one.
Speaker 2: Right, All right, Austin, here we go round number three.
Speaker 2: We have just sent you your line of dialogue, So Austin,
Speaker 2: we're gonna kind of switch it up a little bit
Speaker 2: on you.
Speaker 3: Here.
Speaker 2: We're gonna have Laura pick a character for you, but
Speaker 2: we're also going to kind of tailor the character because
Speaker 2: we want to see what you can do if you're
Speaker 2: more in your wheelhouse, if that makes sense, you know,
Speaker 2: age wise, character wise, something like that. We feel like
Speaker 2: you've been getting a lot of maybe younger characters, and
Speaker 2: we think that we could see you as more of
Speaker 2: having that kind of younger superhero voice, like a like
Speaker 2: the good Peter Parker kind of voice. So we're gonna
Speaker 2: kind of tailor a character a bit for you and
Speaker 2: go from there. So we're gonna see what Laura picks,
Speaker 2: and then we're gonna kind of tweak if we have to.
Speaker 2: Does that make sense.
Speaker 4: All right?
Speaker 2: So here we go, Laura. Number between one and six please?
Speaker 3: Three? Have I already said three before?
Speaker 2: You have not? You have not? And now a number
Speaker 2: between one and twelve.
Speaker 3: Nine.
Speaker 2: Nice? And now a number between one and seven two?
Speaker 3: No, I said two?
Speaker 2: Yeah, you did you mean four? Yeah, you met four.
Speaker 2: That's what I thought I thought you met for. And
Speaker 2: now a number between one and eleven two. Okay, great,
Speaker 2: we're going to try this. The audience can't see what
Speaker 2: you just did. We want to give everybody the best
Speaker 2: possible shot here Austin, and we'll be honest. In other weeks,
Speaker 2: the contestants have gotten gotten characters that were in their wheelhouse,
Speaker 2: so we didn't necessarily have to tweak. It's only been
Speaker 2: in the last two weeks where it seems like some
Speaker 2: of the numbers we were picking were not perfectly tailored
Speaker 2: to some of the some of the actors. And we
Speaker 2: want to make sure that you have a chance to
Speaker 2: kind of do one that you can really just throw
Speaker 2: it out there.
Speaker 4: So, Christy, let's be real like, I don't get auditions
Speaker 4: for you know, ninety year old women. I get auditions
Speaker 4: for people that are most of the time similar to
Speaker 4: my voice type, you know what I mean?
Speaker 2: Right, so, and we want to make sure that you
Speaker 2: get that opportunity as well. So you in this one
Speaker 2: are a ninety year old woman, I mean, Christy, you are.
Speaker 1: A medium alien, medium sized alien who's fifteen years old,
Speaker 1: so like teenager age, right, and you here's this, here's
Speaker 1: the sniff. You're Scottish?
Speaker 9: Okay, all right, A right of course, just fine accuracy.
Speaker 2: Alright anytime, Austin so an alien real quick before.
Speaker 8: So it's an alien, medium sized, fifteen year old Scottish alien.
Speaker 2: Yep hmm. And for round number two, if Scottish doesn't
Speaker 2: work out, we'll just hear fifteen year old alien. But
Speaker 2: for now, let's see what you got, all.
Speaker 15: Right, listen up u ee, lads and glasses. And here
Speaker 15: it is noon on this wonderful Monday, and I hope
Speaker 15: your week starts with walks, balls, being throne and some
Speaker 15: big stretches. We're going to keep it going now with
Speaker 15: a classic. This is walk in the Bark, Walk in
Speaker 15: the Park by the Bow wows here on Easy one
Speaker 15: O two the bark.
Speaker 2: Nice, uh any notes.
Speaker 3: I mean you.
Speaker 1: Sounded forty, but beyond that I love Yeah.
Speaker 3: I think you know I would do it too. I
Speaker 3: think the Scottish accent makes people's so let's Scottish accent.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it makes people go deeper because instantly you know
Speaker 2: you're someone you know, you know. I want to forget it,
Speaker 2: forget like Billy Connolly.
Speaker 15: You know I can do it.
Speaker 2: I can do a lot of that's interesting. I say
Speaker 2: we dropped the accent just for this round. Okay, okay,
Speaker 2: I would say, no Scottish. I want to hear your
Speaker 2: teenage superhero voice with this line of dialog.
Speaker 13: Okay, all right, listen up, boys and girls. And here
Speaker 13: it is noon on this wonderful Monday, and I hope
Speaker 13: your week starts with walks, balls being thrown in some
Speaker 13: big stretches. We're going to keep it going now with
Speaker 13: a classic. This is Walking the Park by the Bow
Speaker 13: wows here on Easy one O two the Bark.
Speaker 2: That's great, We'll be right back with you. Love you guys,
Speaker 2: Thank you Austin.
Speaker 1: Oh he's so sweet too.
Speaker 2: Let's discuss this because we got some choices to make. Yeah,
Speaker 2: so that was the best one. I mean I thought
Speaker 2: that just when he strips it down, Yeah, acting is good. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: you know.
Speaker 3: It's funny because that's that line is so like your
Speaker 3: radio announcer. So it's I think challenging. It's challenging to
Speaker 3: do that line and also like try to keep it
Speaker 3: like you know, I'm a nervous superhero and.
Speaker 2: You know, yeah, it's tough. That's why we're throwing.
Speaker 1: It's it's it's almost smelling that you want to do
Speaker 1: a tongue tie twister?
Speaker 3: Is that when I'm it sounds like so much fun?
Speaker 3: What it is?
Speaker 2: Should I mean, okay, were.
Speaker 4: Personally up until this point, I think I would say, nah.
Speaker 2: I don't disagree.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't disagree either.
Speaker 2: Okay, then there's not We can't just throw them to
Speaker 2: do the tongue tied twister challenge.
Speaker 3: If it's not a.
Speaker 2: Tide just because it's fun. And I think he's good,
Speaker 2: I really do. She that first round she did was
Speaker 2: so sitting next to somebody in the booth just doing
Speaker 2: a role that I thought she nailed it right off
Speaker 2: the bat. I mean it was it was perfectly in
Speaker 2: her Wheelhouse. But it was really good that her first round.
Speaker 2: I mean really good. And I think she needs a
Speaker 2: little bit of work on maybe some of the choices
Speaker 2: she makes as an actor. But I thought the acting's good.
Speaker 2: I think the voice is good. I think she could
Speaker 2: work all the time with that, you know, just her pipes.
Speaker 2: You know, she sounds like kind of young powerpuff Girls
Speaker 2: or yeah, I.
Speaker 1: Mean eighteen if we're you know, oh, yeah, she's eighteen
Speaker 1: years old.
Speaker 3: She's eighteen.
Speaker 1: Yes, she has actually a mature voice for an eighteen
Speaker 1: year old.
Speaker 3: I agree.
Speaker 1: I think, you know what I'm saying. I feel like
Speaker 1: she actually will row into her voice more and have
Speaker 1: a long career. And I mean, you know, this kind
Speaker 1: of contest could be so big for a person, you know,
Speaker 1: like Mia, and she's doing a great job and we
Speaker 1: didn't you know, we didn't hold back at all. She's
Speaker 1: gotten all the information just like everyone did at real time.
Speaker 1: And I'm just so proud of her. You know, she's
Speaker 1: got a great attitude, and you definitely need to have
Speaker 1: a great attitude to face you know, all of the
Speaker 1: ins and outs of the business.
Speaker 2: Laura, what do you think you stick You stick with Mia?
Speaker 3: I stick with me. I still think I think Austin
Speaker 3: was great, fantastic.
Speaker 4: Yeah again, I think that he'll find work absolutely.
Speaker 2: I think so too. I think so too. And I
Speaker 2: think partially one of the things that I'm glad we
Speaker 2: started doing with Round three was letting people kind of
Speaker 2: so what we had last week, for instance, is we
Speaker 2: had a guy who was who came in and the
Speaker 2: contestant he was up against was phenomenal, but his natural
Speaker 2: voice was so unbelievably good. Like Barry White announcer. He
Speaker 2: said hello and we were all like, oh man. So
Speaker 2: we were doing everything we could to get him in
Speaker 2: his wheelhouse, but he just ran up against the buzzsauce.
Speaker 2: So we want to make sure that everybody's having their opportunity,
Speaker 2: and I think I do. I think Austin's very, very good.
Speaker 2: I think his natural voice is probably the way I
Speaker 2: would go.
Speaker 3: I think he would do amazing commercial work. Yes, commercial
Speaker 3: radio reads like he say seemed like.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree, I agree, But unfortunately he would be
Speaker 1: great on camera yeah yeah, yeah, like a or like
Speaker 1: you or like a hero. I think he's great, and
Speaker 1: he's a great actor.
Speaker 2: He is funny, and he's he's trying to add lib
Speaker 2: and that's what you want. You want somebody who's Yeah,
Speaker 2: I agree, but we're looking for an all you know,
Speaker 2: we need somebody who does great ad read but also
Speaker 2: does great character and we're looking for that all around
Speaker 2: kind of voice actor. So I think we're all in
Speaker 2: agreement then, as much as we'd love the tongue twister challenge,
Speaker 2: all right, let's bring Austin back in. This sucks. Hey Austin,
Speaker 2: how are you hello? How's everything going? How's it going? Guys? So, uh,
Speaker 2: we we think you're great. We really do. We think
Speaker 2: you're phenomenal. I think the last round was your best
Speaker 2: round because it's kind of it stayed in your natural register,
Speaker 2: and I think, uh, you know, in your career that's
Speaker 2: a voiceover wise, that's kind of where I think you're
Speaker 2: gonna want to stay. That being said, your fellow contestant
Speaker 2: today was really really good. And unfortunately this is as
Speaker 2: far as you're going to be going in the contest,
