Um. I mean 345 00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:05,560 Speaker 1: you've been hearing different things here and there, and so 346 00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:09,959 Speaker 1: many things are getting rebooted and remade, and so of 347 00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:13,040 Speaker 1: course I didn't, you know, think that it was I 348 00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:16,240 Speaker 1: heard talks, but I didn't think it would be a possibility. 349 00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:19,159 Speaker 1: And um then I got the call from Ralph Farquar 350 00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:21,399 Speaker 1: and Bruce Smith and they basically said they wanted to 351 00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:25,320 Speaker 1: give it a go. And I'm like, hey, like, okay, 352 00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:27,880 Speaker 1: anybody else playing Penny, So y'all have we better figured 353 00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:32,720 Speaker 1: this out? And and you know, brought everybody along for 354 00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:35,320 Speaker 1: the ride. And it's been tough because, um, we actually 355 00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:39,000 Speaker 1: started recording right before the right when the pandemic was happening, 356 00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:41,800 Speaker 1: and so we had to start recording everything at home. 357 00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:45,359 Speaker 1: And uh, it's difficult to record at home when you 358 00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:47,960 Speaker 1: have kids that are not in school and they loud 359 00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:51,000 Speaker 1: like their mama. So we're figuring this out though we're 360 00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:58,199 Speaker 1: making it happens. I'm like, maybe just for a few minutes, 361 00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:01,040 Speaker 1: he's trying to get up part in the show. That's 362 00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:02,840 Speaker 1: what I know what they're trying to do. Now let's 363 00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:06,080 Speaker 1: talk about this, this this character. You know when you 364 00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:07,879 Speaker 1: talk about recording at home, you know this is not 365 00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:10,320 Speaker 1: pick up your phone with your cell phone recording at 366 00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:12,960 Speaker 1: the home. They sent you some special equipment. How did 367 00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:15,639 Speaker 1: that work out? Oh? Yes, we had to get the 368 00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:19,720 Speaker 1: right mics, um, the right Uh everything that needed to 369 00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:22,440 Speaker 1: go into a computer. And I literally, when I tell 370 00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:26,479 Speaker 1: you this computer thing. Before this pandemic, I knew how 371 00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:29,720 Speaker 1: to ask some right email and uh, I knew how 372 00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:34,280 Speaker 1: to write to message, but as far as anything else, no, 373 00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:37,600 Speaker 1: So I've learned so much. Um. I had to learn 374 00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:41,639 Speaker 1: different tools and how to record myself and and even 375 00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:43,920 Speaker 1: having I don't even know the name of the things 376 00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:46,520 Speaker 1: that they sent, Like I had the abounce thing that 377 00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:48,840 Speaker 1: I had to put behind the microphone and I had 378 00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:52,560 Speaker 1: to put I went to visit my grandmother had to 379 00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:54,800 Speaker 1: put pillows on top of it to make sure that 380 00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:57,920 Speaker 1: the sound was the sound quality was good. Like, they 381 00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:01,040 Speaker 1: sent us so much stuff, and I'm like, Luckily my 382 00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:04,479 Speaker 1: man is uh the recording artist, so he knows how 383 00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:06,440 Speaker 1: to cook up all that stuff. And I was like, Okay, 384 00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:11,600 Speaker 1: I don't have to um cry today. So luckily I 385 00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:13,840 Speaker 1: had the help that I needed. But yeah, they sent 386 00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:16,840 Speaker 1: us everything. When you know, you have to learn sometimes. 387 00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:19,520 Speaker 1: And so the thing about it is that when you 388 00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:21,879 Speaker 1: get it, to get an opportunity. So you know, I 389 00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:24,399 Speaker 1: looked at the this is Disney Plus where I just 390 00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:28,080 Speaker 1: saw sold that Jamie Fox uh animazing, which is really great. 391 00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:30,880 Speaker 1: Is I've seen it twice. It's really fun. And then 392 00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:33,840 Speaker 1: I hear about this announcement, uh, you know, the return. 393 00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:36,199 Speaker 1: IMN just call it the return of Penny Proud. You 394 00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:40,360 Speaker 1: know family Louder and Prouder. So when I hear Louder 395 00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:44,080 Speaker 1: and Prouder, I hear volume. I hear that they're gonna 396 00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:45,720 Speaker 1: be all over the place. But we know your Disney 397 00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:48,520 Speaker 1: Plus so you're not gonna get extreme. What does Louder 398 00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:52,760 Speaker 1: and proud of me? But to me louder and prouder. 399 00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:55,560 Speaker 1: I feel like when I was recording The Proud Family 400 00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:57,040 Speaker 1: back in the day, I had no idea what I 401 00:20:57,080 --> 00:20:59,600 Speaker 1: was a party. I was fourteen years old, and I 402 00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:02,480 Speaker 1: didn't realize the things that we were talking about in 403 00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:05,600 Speaker 1: the messages that we were giving young kids watching UM 404 00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:08,640 Speaker 1: watching the cartoon. And I feel like Louder and prouder. 405 00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:11,920 Speaker 1: Now it's like we it's like Proud Family two point oh. 406 00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:15,320 Speaker 1: We basically upgraded the conversations that are gonna be happening. 407 00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:18,000 Speaker 1: And I'm surprised to some of the things that you know, 408 00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:20,919 Speaker 1: Disney Plus is allowing us to do. But you know, 409 00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:22,840 Speaker 1: we have to do those type of things if we 410 00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:27,280 Speaker 1: want to maintain the authenticity of being the Proud Family, 411 00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:29,960 Speaker 1: we have to come through with the messages. We have 412 00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:31,560 Speaker 1: to come through with the knowledge. We have to come 413 00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:34,240 Speaker 1: through with the real things that need to be said 414 00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:36,960 Speaker 1: and leads to be taught and learned about, especially in 415 00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:39,920 Speaker 1: our community. So I just feel like there's a lot 416 00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:42,680 Speaker 1: of different storylines that people are gonna be like, what, 417 00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:47,399 Speaker 1: But you know that it's it's teaching young, teaching me young. 418 00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:50,720 Speaker 1: Interesting thing about your career because I've been fortunate to 419 00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:53,320 Speaker 1: watch your career, you know, I've been fortunate to be 420 00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:56,399 Speaker 1: on set with you and watch the professionalism, watch you 421 00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:59,199 Speaker 1: watch how you at a young age and and and 422 00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:01,480 Speaker 1: and that's a young nager and become a young adult. 423 00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:04,240 Speaker 1: That's longevity.

You offer you for opportunity, but what you 427 00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:16,760 Speaker 1: have to give or sacrifice to be successful in this business. Uh, 428 00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:20,840 Speaker 1: this business is a very difficult one. UM. I always 429 00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:23,760 Speaker 1: tell people, please only get involved if it's something that 430 00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:28,199 Speaker 1: you have loved for that you love, um, fame and 431 00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:32,359 Speaker 1: all that popular stuff, and that doesn't really it's too 432 00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:36,080 Speaker 1: much going on to just want that.

It It just means that that one thing wasn't 448 00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:21,919 Speaker 1: meant for me, and now I'm on the hunt for 449 00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:25,000 Speaker 1: the next thing. And uh, I know someone asked me recently, 450 00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:26,720 Speaker 1: like what did you audition for that you didn't get? 451 00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:29,120 Speaker 1: And it took me like ten minutes to think about 452 00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:31,480 Speaker 1: it because I was like, honestly after illip for something. 453 00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:33,440 Speaker 1: If I haven't heard back, oh no, it's out of 454 00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:36,600 Speaker 1: it's it's it's gone, and I'm on to the next thing. 455 00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:39,040 Speaker 1: I can't dwell on the past, you know.
