We can animate this background, which is 7 00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:20,000 Speaker 1: different than animating the background, which is don't anna hate, Okay, 8 00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:22,640 Speaker 1: don't anna hate on the green series? I think so. 9 00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:24,600 Speaker 1: But hit us up at all of our different socials, 10 00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:26,560 Speaker 1: which again I don't know the addresses.

Just consistency is all. Yeah, 18 00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:51,680 Speaker 1: that's the best way to do it. How are you 19 00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:54,480 Speaker 1: doing good? How are you? I'm good? I feel like 20 00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:58,680 Speaker 1: I feel like it's really lame because we went from 21 00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:01,480 Speaker 1: going to comic constant other like week after week for 22 00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:04,679 Speaker 1: a good two months, and then it's now now we don't. 23 00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:07,240 Speaker 1: We don't talk, we don't write, We just podcast.

It's no, I like you. 25 00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:16,959 Speaker 1: I did get I did get feedback from another podcast 26 00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:19,200 Speaker 1: that like, um, well, my other podcast, and they were 27 00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:21,960 Speaker 1: like they were like, oh, so you're like a theater 28 00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:24,680 Speaker 1: kid and I was like, well, yeah, what else? Yeah, 29 00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:27,199 Speaker 1: as opposed to what I don't get what that means. 30 00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:31,200 Speaker 1: Oh man, we had a great show last week, um 31 00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:37,039 Speaker 1: Dietrich Bader. Yeah, how good was There are so many 32 00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:41,720 Speaker 1: like life lessony things, but specifically in the life of 33 00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:44,800 Speaker 1: an entertainer and an actor that we're so helpful, uh 34 00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:48,360 Speaker 1: that we're really pretty amazing. So uh yeah, we we've 35 00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:51,760 Speaker 1: talked about and it's so funny because it seems like 36 00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:55,960 Speaker 1: it's so um, I don't know, it's it seems like 37 00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,880 Speaker 1: it is so kind of like a self promoting when 38 00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:02,720 Speaker 1: we have talked about our amazing, incredible contest that is 39 00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:05,400 Speaker 1: coming up, the super awesome contest to become the next 40 00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:09,320 Speaker 1: big Voice actor. Um, I can say I didn't even 41 00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:13,200 Speaker 1: look it up. Now, I didn't write it down. But 42 00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:15,680 Speaker 1: one of the things you said, which is absolutely true, 43 00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:17,880 Speaker 1: which is one of the best ways to prepare for 44 00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:19,880 Speaker 1: the super awesome contest to become the next big voice 45 00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:22,960 Speaker 1: actor is to go back and watch some of our 46 00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:25,160 Speaker 1: old episodes. And again it sounds like we're kind of 47 00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:29,960 Speaker 1: promoting ourselves, but some most, if not all, of the 48 00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:33,280 Speaker 1: actors that we've had on have the greatest advice, the 49 00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:36,640 Speaker 1: greatest different kind of exercises you can use. I mean, again, 50 00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:40,000 Speaker 1: you're talking about Dietrich and just his advice on being 51 00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:42,440 Speaker 1: an actor, putting yourself into it. I was mesmerized. I'm 52 00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:44,960 Speaker 1: not gonna lie. I woke up that warning feeling a 53 00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,720 Speaker 1: little disillusioned with some parts of the industry, and you 54 00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:49,400 Speaker 1: always get as an actor. You always kind of go 55 00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:51,799 Speaker 1: through these different things. And after we talked to him, 56 00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:54,280 Speaker 1: I was like, I'm in the best business in the world. 57 00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:56,640 Speaker 1: Like he just made you feel good. You know, it 58 00:02:56,720 --> 00:03:00,440 Speaker 1: was great, he really did. He honestly, he was a 59 00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:04,520 Speaker 1: really wonderful person with a great worldview. In my opinion, 60 00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:08,160 Speaker 1: I think our business can make people jaded sometimes, but 61 00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:10,640 Speaker 1: the good thing about the community of voice actors is 62 00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:13,799 Speaker 1: that they are so lighthearted and they love what they do. 63 00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:16,600 Speaker 1: And I mean, I don't know, I mean, I think 64 00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:19,080 Speaker 1: our contest is amazing you know how many people come 65 00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:21,679 Speaker 1: up to us anytime we're at a comic connor like, 66 00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:24,160 Speaker 1: how can I break into this industry? And I mean, 67 00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:25,960 Speaker 1: if you're gonna be famous, you might as well be 68 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:30,160 Speaker 1: famous doing something where all the people around you were happy. Yeah. 69 00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:32,120 Speaker 1: I love that too. Plus I just love there's it's 70 00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:35,200 Speaker 1: you know, it's not about being famous with VA, which 71 00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:38,360 Speaker 1: is what's so great. It's about the joy of I 72 00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:40,920 Speaker 1: mean we're talking, uh, you and I always kind of 73 00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:43,640 Speaker 1: joke and talk about how, you know, as voiceover actors, 74 00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:46,040 Speaker 1: and we've alway talked about children where I have been 75 00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:48,040 Speaker 1: very lucky in my life not to have any kids. 76 00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:53,280 Speaker 1: Umm yea. As as voiceover actors, though, we talk about 77 00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:55,400 Speaker 1: like what's it like to have Eric Bowser read you 78 00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:58,480 Speaker 1: a bedtime story? What's you know, what's it like to 79 00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:01,680 Speaker 1: to have these actors come on and just tell a 80 00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:03,720 Speaker 1: story to their children. I mean, it's just the coolest 81 00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:05,280 Speaker 1: thing in the world. There's that love and that joy 82 00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:07,520 Speaker 1: of the voice over industry, and it's just such a 83 00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:10,880 Speaker 1: different niche for the rest from the rest of the industry. 84 00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:16,120 Speaker 1: And it's just yes, exactly, it is growing, right, it is, 85 00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:19,560 Speaker 1: I mean becoming more inclusive, which is what it's needed 86 00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:21,719 Speaker 1: for a very long time. So that's that's a good 87 00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:24,800 Speaker 1: thing in that sense, it's a very very good thing, um. 88 00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:26,440 Speaker 1: And that's one that's one of the things that's been 89 00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:29,240 Speaker 1: able to allow us to do this contest. What was 90 00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:32,119 Speaker 1: what was the name of the contest?

At episode 122 00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:03,920 Speaker 1: where that's all we're gonna be talking about. Is the eighties? Really? No? 123 00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:06,880 Speaker 1: No one mentioned it to me. No, I'm kidding. That 124 00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:08,560 Speaker 1: would be the worst, isn't it if you just weren't 125 00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:10,599 Speaker 1: prepared to do whatever. It's like, we're gonna be talking 126 00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:12,920 Speaker 1: about season three A magnum p. I are you ready? 127 00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:17,600 Speaker 1: I est finished. Such an incredible coincidence, I just finished, 128 00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:22,560 Speaker 1: how are you good? I meant to like dry my 129 00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:24,720 Speaker 1: hair and be a little more presentable, but the day 130 00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:27,000 Speaker 1: got away from me. So you're getting like, I feel 131 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:30,000 Speaker 1: like this is my detective look from your honor. But 132 00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:33,560 Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. This is a voiceover, isn't it wonderful? 133 00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:36,240 Speaker 1: Does it affect your performance when you know you're just 134 00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:38,760 Speaker 1: doing voice over and all you have to concentrate on 135 00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:43,440 Speaker 1: is pormance so free? I mean, it's weird. I'm a 136 00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:47,560 Speaker 1: weird on camera actor because I actually try to do 137 00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:49,720 Speaker 1: it like I'm doing voiceover. Like I go into hair 138 00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:52,480 Speaker 1: and makeup, and then for the rest of the day 139 00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:55,960 Speaker 1: that I shoot. I have this really strange ritual where 140 00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,279 Speaker 1: I never look at myself the entire day, So I 141 00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:00,760 Speaker 1: won't if I go to the baths, so I won't look. 142 00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:03,720 Speaker 1: If I'm in my trailer, I don't look because I 143 00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:06,600 Speaker 1: don't actually want to think about it, because I think 144 00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:10,119 Speaker 1: I started in voice over and I learned and theater, 145 00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:12,040 Speaker 1: which is a much freer form too, because you know, 146 00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:14,840 Speaker 1: like a camera drilling down on you and you know, 147 00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:16,680 Speaker 1: people always like you have no like you have no 148 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:19,320 Speaker 1: vanity or ego in your work. I'm like, because I'll 149 00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:21,960 Speaker 1: look terrible and not care. But I really think that 150 00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:25,520 Speaker 1: came from starting in voiceover in theater and wanting to 151 00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:29,120 Speaker 1: keep that freedom. I don't want to like limit myself 152 00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:33,160 Speaker 1: worrying about I mean, the times I'm the most dysfunctional 153 00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:35,240 Speaker 1: in this business is like red carpet stuff, where I'm 154 00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:38,320 Speaker 1: just like, because I do come from the tradition of 155 00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:41,080 Speaker 1: like blah blah blah blah lah. You know, like just 156 00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:43,680 Speaker 1: like yeah, like use your hands, use your voice, be 157 00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:46,840 Speaker 1: whatever you and you have no limits. So I feel 158 00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:49,240 Speaker 1: really lucky for that because I feel like it's helped 159 00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:51,960 Speaker 1: me not fall into some of the traps of the 160 00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:55,680 Speaker 1: on camera world. Although you know, certainly I'm susceptible like 161 00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:58,360 Speaker 1: anybody else, but um, I try to remember that my 162 00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:02,840 Speaker 1: roots and how much I enjoy that freedom, you know. Interesting. 163 00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:05,520 Speaker 1: So it's a balance for sure, I mean, because because 164 00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:07,200 Speaker 1: like you know, you do like to, you know, put 165 00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:09,720 Speaker 1: some makeup on and walk the carpet now and then. 166 00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:13,800 Speaker 1: But for sure, but it's like pressure. Sometimes it just 167 00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:17,120 Speaker 1: feels nice to take that away completely and voiceover always 168 00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:21,400 Speaker 1: takes it away, you know, I always takes Yeah, well, 169 00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:24,280 Speaker 1: people always like fun. I'm like, let me ask you, 170 00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:27,320 Speaker 1: let me ask do you like having your picture taken? 171 00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:30,200 Speaker 1: Do you like like in most nine of people. No, 172 00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:31,960 Speaker 1: nobody's like, oh my god, I love having a picture 173 00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:40,400 Speaker 1: taking me. It's right, those are the same. It's a 174 00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:43,360 Speaker 1: very rare person who I think enjoys all of it. 175 00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:45,920 Speaker 1: But you know, I mean, it looks really good from 176 00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:48,360 Speaker 1: the couch at home. That's what I realized. I was like, No, 177 00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:51,360 Speaker 1: it's actually much more fun to watch than it is 178 00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:54,840 Speaker 1: to do it, you know, because it's stressful. But voiceover 179 00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:57,320 Speaker 1: is always it's a performance. And I you know, my 180 00:08:57,400 --> 00:08:58,920 Speaker 1: dad's a diss jockey. I don't know if you guys 181 00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:02,760 Speaker 1: need that in Chicago. So I very very very very 182 00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:06,080 Speaker 1: very Uh. He's in the Rocketell Hall of Fame museum. 183 00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:11,160 Speaker 1: He's been a ward. He's in the Hall of Fame. Uh. 184 00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:15,680 Speaker 1: He was inducted let John Record Decker. So he was 185 00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:19,120 Speaker 1: on w LS. Oh yeah, so like he's yeah, so 186 00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:21,520 Speaker 1: I grew up around microphones as my point and kind 187 00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:23,920 Speaker 1: of like, yeah, well, I mean he he had to 188 00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:26,440 Speaker 1: get into that with the middle name of well I know, 189 00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:30,240 Speaker 1: and that's really his middle name. But here's the creature. 190 00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:33,760 Speaker 1: But the craziest thing is his first radio job. They 191 00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:35,920 Speaker 1: told him to change his name to Scott Walker because 192 00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:38,480 Speaker 1: they said, you'll never work in this business with John Records. 193 00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:40,480 Speaker 1: Land Decker is your name, which is so weird because 194 00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:42,320 Speaker 1: that's what got him into like Ripley's believe it or 195 00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:44,680 Speaker 1: not at first because of his middle name, but he 196 00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:47,920 Speaker 1: like not only was his middle name Records, because my 197 00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:50,520 Speaker 1: great grandfather's last name was Records, so he was just 198 00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:54,800 Speaker 1: given his grandfather's last names the middle name. But he 199 00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:57,560 Speaker 1: also would pretend by the way, I'm so distracted by 200 00:09:57,559 --> 00:09:59,400 Speaker 1: how beautiful Christie is. I'm like, well, there's an on 201 00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:02,559 Speaker 1: camera and like right there at the hair, not not 202 00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:07,880 Speaker 1: really not it goes away, it goes away. It's just green. 203 00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:10,680 Speaker 1: Is that what it is? Oh? Yes, you know that's 204 00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:12,959 Speaker 1: what most people, I would say, makes them more beautiful, 205 00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:15,480 Speaker 1: is like a big green screen in the back. Now, um, 206 00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:18,160 Speaker 1: first of all, you're right, most most most of our 207 00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:20,200 Speaker 1: guests say exactly after like, oh my god, I'm so 208 00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:22,920 Speaker 1: mesmerized by Christie and Will I can see why you 209 00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:29,880 Speaker 1: picked so I get that character. He's back very good 210 00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:37,600 Speaker 1: looking person on a microphone. Very but I but he 211 00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:39,800 Speaker 1: was he pretended he was a disc jockey at his 212 00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:43,120 Speaker 1: closet as a kid, like he always wanted. So I 213 00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:46,960 Speaker 1: grew up actually reading like I would literally view in 214 00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,679 Speaker 1: the bathroom and take in a Veno bottle and be like, 215 00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:53,440 Speaker 1: I would make ads like protecting hydrate sunscreen, and that's 216 00:10:53,440 --> 00:11:00,000 Speaker 1: what I did. Really, so you're doing, you're starting, I don't, 217 00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:01,960 Speaker 1: I'm I have know And then I mean, that's what 218 00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:04,959 Speaker 1: I did before animation. For a good fifteen years in view, 219 00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:07,560 Speaker 1: I was just commercial for until I move to l A. 220 00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:10,800 Speaker 1: And I always wanted to do animation because of course 221 00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:13,880 Speaker 1: that's the creative side of it. But I'm also not 222 00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,160 Speaker 1: a natural, you know. It's so funny. I watched the 223 00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:21,199 Speaker 1: crews and I see these like insanely gifted voiceover actors 224 00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:24,160 Speaker 1: who can do like a thousand things that is not 225 00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:27,679 Speaker 1: my that is not my gift. But and I'm so 226 00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:29,520 Speaker 1: in awe of them. And I think that's why it 227 00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:31,719 Speaker 1: took me a while to get into animation, because it's 228 00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:34,160 Speaker 1: sort of off shot more from my on camera career 229 00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:36,480 Speaker 1: that I started to get to shoot, which don't feel 230 00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:39,400 Speaker 1: really really lucky about but no, I was always like 231 00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:42,920 Speaker 1: the voice of Hallmark or Simbalta or like, you know, 232 00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:47,640 Speaker 1: just very serious, like you know, very emotional. That's huge. 233 00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:50,960 Speaker 1: I mean it was. It was incredible. I loved every 234 00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:53,319 Speaker 1: second of it and I felt very very There's nothing 235 00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:55,480 Speaker 1: that makes you feel like you don't belong in a 236 00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:59,640 Speaker 1: room like standing next to Dee Brad. Yeah, exactly. You know, 237 00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:02,360 Speaker 1: it's like you walk in going, oh, I think I'm 238 00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:04,400 Speaker 1: pretty cool with this and you're like, oh man, I 239 00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:08,439 Speaker 1: have no idea what I'm doing. Gifts are It's extraordinary. Really, 240 00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:11,960 Speaker 1: it's kind of extraordinary. It's insane. It really started the 241 00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:16,360 Speaker 1: crudes in COVID in Quarantine. That's when we first started recording, 242 00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:18,720 Speaker 1: when you weren't leaving the house, right when we were 243 00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:21,679 Speaker 1: all like afraid to open a box from Amazon. So 244 00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:25,199 Speaker 1: we did like our we did this where we met 245 00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:29,160 Speaker 1: on Zoom. I mean, I got to watch everybody do 246 00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:32,360 Speaker 1: their performances for the first like six episodes, and it 247 00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:35,959 Speaker 1: was pretty intimidating. I was like, oh my god, so 248 00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:39,280 Speaker 1: so talented, so funny, and normally you don't really have 249 00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:42,240 Speaker 1: access to that process at all. It's just you alone. 250 00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:45,280 Speaker 1: So it was cool, I have a So wait, let's 251 00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:48,040 Speaker 1: I want to go back origin story time we're doing. 252 00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:49,920 Speaker 1: We got to do your origin story. So you're from 253 00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:53,560 Speaker 1: Chicago and you said you started on stage, so other 254 00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:56,120 Speaker 1: than doing what most kids do, which is sitting in 255 00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:59,280 Speaker 1: the bathroom and doing ad read too machine bottle um. 256 00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:02,120 Speaker 1: Totally normal. By the way, again, to other voice over actors, 257 00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:06,000 Speaker 1: it's like, yeah, okay, right, that's true. Did yeah, did 258 00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:09,000 Speaker 1: you know that that entertainment was something that you always 259 00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:11,200 Speaker 1: wanted to do? You know? I really I did. I did. 260 00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:13,640 Speaker 1: Like I was my my sister and I used to 261 00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:18,439 Speaker 1: like write plays and perform them at um at like 262 00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:20,079 Speaker 1: for our parents, and we were really little. And then 263 00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:22,160 Speaker 1: in high school I ended up going to this small 264 00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:25,720 Speaker 1: private school in Chicago called Francis Parker, which oddly was 265 00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:27,640 Speaker 1: not a performance or at school, but we had a 266 00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:31,200 Speaker 1: lot of um, wonderful actors and so much so that 267 00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:33,680 Speaker 1: Jeane Siskel, when he was still alive and was a 268 00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:36,079 Speaker 1: big film critic, came to visit our school to find out, 269 00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:38,840 Speaker 1: like what was it about this theater program because we 270 00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:41,720 Speaker 1: were in a performance school, but we had like um, 271 00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:45,800 Speaker 1: Billy Zane came from our school and Daryl Hannah, and 272 00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:48,559 Speaker 1: this was when those movies were like huge, like splash. 273 00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:52,920 Speaker 1: And then from my class alone was, um, I mean, 274 00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:54,960 Speaker 1: I make a living at it. This guy Paul Adelstein 275 00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:58,480 Speaker 1: who's on prison Break and who's a very you know, 276 00:13:58,559 --> 00:13:59,959 Speaker 1: he's on camera all the time. I don't know what 277 00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:02,040 Speaker 1: else he's been doing. But and Tim Griffin, who's another 278 00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:04,360 Speaker 1: actor from Chicago that I just did a movie with 279 00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:08,120 Speaker 1: Searching Too, and um r I P and H was 280 00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:12,280 Speaker 1: in our class, um and just so tragically but we 281 00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:15,400 Speaker 1: were a very um we we did tons of plays, 282 00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:18,800 Speaker 1: all all four of us. Um I was interesting, you know, 283 00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:22,360 Speaker 1: all the plays. And I went to college thinking, I 284 00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:26,320 Speaker 1: will be honest with you, speaking of looks, I um, 285 00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:28,400 Speaker 1: I didn't think I was like the look of an 286 00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:30,680 Speaker 1: actress on camera at the time when I was in 287 00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:33,240 Speaker 1: high school, and so it never really like occurred to 288 00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:35,680 Speaker 1: me that I could make a living at acting. And 289 00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:37,840 Speaker 1: I went to University Wisconsin and I was going to 290 00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:40,040 Speaker 1: be a broadcaster. So that and I think because of 291 00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:42,560 Speaker 1: my dad and I loved sports and I love Chicago sports, 292 00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:45,480 Speaker 1: and I thought I'd be a female sportscaster, which I 293 00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:47,800 Speaker 1: think is actually a really great idea. I think it 294 00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:51,040 Speaker 1: would have amazing career path, but I did end up 295 00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:54,200 Speaker 1: um getting a crush on an acting teacher in college 296 00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:56,880 Speaker 1: who told me to join the acting program, so of course, 297 00:14:56,920 --> 00:14:59,120 Speaker 1: to be near him, I joined the acting program and 298 00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:02,680 Speaker 1: started have inadvertently falling into it. And then when I 299 00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:05,640 Speaker 1: got out of college, my sister started a theater company 300 00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:07,040 Speaker 1: with some friends from New York and they asked me 301 00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:10,840 Speaker 1: to do a show with them, and I just got 302 00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:13,880 Speaker 1: these insane reviews and I was like, oh, I guess 303 00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:17,760 Speaker 1: I I like I candased. And at the same time 304 00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:20,520 Speaker 1: Amy Brenneman, who now I've become friends with and I 305 00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:23,400 Speaker 1: get mistaken for all the time, oddly enough, was on 306 00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:26,000 Speaker 1: NYPD Blue and people started to say to me, you 307 00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:28,760 Speaker 1: look just like this actress on NYPD Blue. And the 308 00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:31,280 Speaker 1: irony that, like, twenty five years later, I would live 309 00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:33,760 Speaker 1: in l A and many times people will come to 310 00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:35,680 Speaker 1: me be like I love you on The Leftovers or 311 00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:38,080 Speaker 1: they'll tell her I love you on Transparent and we're like, 312 00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:41,920 Speaker 1: I'm not that Amy. So weird, so weird, But she 313 00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:44,040 Speaker 1: sort of was like an inspiration, like, oh, maybe I 314 00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:46,560 Speaker 1: could do that. You know, she's from our neck of 315 00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:49,000 Speaker 1: the woods. Amy Brennaman, I believe is a Connecticut native. 316 00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:52,680 Speaker 1: She really and I think her mom was a judge, 317 00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:56,280 Speaker 1: which is why she did and both my parents are 318 00:15:56,320 --> 00:16:01,800 Speaker 1: Connecticut lawyers. Are you're kidding? Yeah, she's really like brilliant, Like, yes, 319 00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:04,800 Speaker 1: what is it about Chicago that is just in the 320 00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:08,840 Speaker 1: water there where everyone is so freaking talented? Well, I think, 321 00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:11,440 Speaker 1: I mean, it's it is weird. I was talking to 322 00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:14,600 Speaker 1: someone about the theater scene there too, like nobody. I 323 00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:18,160 Speaker 1: think the weather first of all, like you're locked inside 324 00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:21,960 Speaker 1: like most of the year, and there's no other I 325 00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:25,880 Speaker 1: think there's a real like working class attitude about acting 326 00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:30,280 Speaker 1: that actually makes people like very grounded and very realistic, 327 00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:32,880 Speaker 1: like step in Wold Theater was obviously like this massive 328 00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:35,920 Speaker 1: influence on even the way people act now on camera 329 00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:41,280 Speaker 1: in general, like that really rock and roll, like rooted naturalism. 330 00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:44,520 Speaker 1: And I think because we knew, I mean it was 331 00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:46,560 Speaker 1: funny because I actually so. I did a play with 332 00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:49,160 Speaker 1: Michael Shannon, who has been nominated for million Oscars and 333 00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:51,720 Speaker 1: is a big Chicago guy Boardwalk Empire and stuff. I 334 00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:53,440 Speaker 1: did a play with him at the Red Organt Theater 335 00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:55,320 Speaker 1: and an agent came and I did a bunch of 336 00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:58,600 Speaker 1: voices in it, and she said, um, have you ever 337 00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:01,800 Speaker 1: thought about doing voiceover? So actually got into voiceover from 338 00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:05,239 Speaker 1: literally a play that I did. I didn't realize too 339 00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:07,080 Speaker 1: that they really the only way to make money as 340 00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:10,199 Speaker 1: an actor in Chicago, in a living wage is to 341 00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:13,040 Speaker 1: either do on camera commercials or voiceover because there are 342 00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:15,640 Speaker 1: no there's not enough film work, that's not enough TV work. 343 00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:18,440 Speaker 1: You're never gonna be you know, it's you're not gonna 344 00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:20,359 Speaker 1: make a living maybe now with all the Chicago p 345 00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:22,560 Speaker 1: D shows, but maybe that's one or two people who 346 00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:25,520 Speaker 1: get that contract. So there were but there are all 347 00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:28,240 Speaker 1: these ad agencies. You know, there's j Walter Thompson, there's 348 00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:31,080 Speaker 1: Leo Burnett. All these ad agencies are based in Chicago. 349 00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:33,879 Speaker 1: So it allowed like theater people in Second City and 350 00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:36,480 Speaker 1: those kinds of actors to stay. I wasn't going to 351 00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:38,560 Speaker 1: leave Chicago. I left because of play took me to 352 00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:40,760 Speaker 1: New York. I. I was just going to live there 353 00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:43,639 Speaker 1: and do voiceover and have make a great living and 354 00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:47,800 Speaker 1: do theater and be creatively fulfilled. Um so it just 355 00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:49,920 Speaker 1: has it doesn't. As soon as I worked in New York, 356 00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:52,440 Speaker 1: I was like, Oh, everyone's in New York is not everyone, 357 00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:54,280 Speaker 1: but there's definitely a sense when you're in New York 358 00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:57,760 Speaker 1: there's way more pressure because there's like way more money involved, 359 00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:00,680 Speaker 1: and there's and there's a sense that you might get 360 00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:03,879 Speaker 1: something from it, or you're also working on cameras, so 361 00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:06,560 Speaker 1: you're you're always like one ft out the door to 362 00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:08,919 Speaker 1: leave to do something. Like Chicago, there's nothing else to do, 363 00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:11,359 Speaker 1: you know, you're just there to do the play. And 364 00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:13,200 Speaker 1: I think that it makes for some of the best 365 00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:17,280 Speaker 1: acting I've ever seen, Honestly. I also think Chicago has 366 00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:22,280 Speaker 1: a real emphasis on improv Yes, that's true. And and 367 00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:26,400 Speaker 1: and improv is is one of the most important facets 368 00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:28,520 Speaker 1: of any style of acting. I don't care if you 369 00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:30,399 Speaker 1: are a voice over actor, if you're on stage, if 370 00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:33,320 Speaker 1: you're a dramatic actor, just being able to instantly think 371 00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:38,280 Speaker 1: on your feet and work and reacting stuck, yeah, that 372 00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:42,600 Speaker 1: you're listening, it's really It makes a huge difference. And 373 00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:44,560 Speaker 1: there is such an emphasis on that with Second City 374 00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:47,760 Speaker 1: and everything else. It's there and and and Stephen Wolf 375 00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:50,680 Speaker 1: has like an improvisatory like you were saying, even in Trauma, 376 00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:53,879 Speaker 1: there's we've all either taken classes at Second City or 377 00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:57,320 Speaker 1: we've we get such a such a vibe in Chicago. 378 00:18:57,440 --> 00:18:59,719 Speaker 1: You're right that that energy can be used even if 379 00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:02,359 Speaker 1: you're not actually changing the words every time, but you're 380 00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:07,679 Speaker 1: you're creatively improvising, like emotionally improvising. You're being open to 381 00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:10,639 Speaker 1: it being different every night, and that that's not true 382 00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:14,040 Speaker 1: everywhere else. I feel like people can't. And Amy, you 383 00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:16,200 Speaker 1: said that you don't do like a thousand voices, but 384 00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:18,920 Speaker 1: that's not I mean, I don't. I would, I would. 385 00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:23,520 Speaker 1: Maybe it's not de Badley Baker like that that talent 386 00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:26,399 Speaker 1: that he has, right, But I think that you're also 387 00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:30,719 Speaker 1: a testament to being rooted in all of that educational 388 00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:34,160 Speaker 1: you know, development and all of that beautiful technique work 389 00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:40,000 Speaker 1: over those years, really though, because because I I definitely struggled, um, 390 00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:42,200 Speaker 1: you know, when we were doing Kimpossible and other things 391 00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:45,880 Speaker 1: where you have to enrich the voices that you do 392 00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:49,080 Speaker 1: with so much subtext in the choices that you make 393 00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:52,000 Speaker 1: in the voice that there's a lot more that goes 394 00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:55,920 Speaker 1: into it that makes you a good voice actor rather 395 00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:57,280 Speaker 1: than you know what I'm saying. So you don't need 396 00:19:57,359 --> 00:20:00,040 Speaker 1: to do a thousand voices to be a good voice actor. No, 397 00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:02,720 Speaker 1: I agree. That's one of the things is people think 398 00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:05,680 Speaker 1: that being a great voice actor means doing a thousand voices, 399 00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:07,480 Speaker 1: and then a lot of us can't. I mean that 400 00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:09,520 Speaker 1: is it to to sit next to a John DiMaggio 401 00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:12,560 Speaker 1: or a d. Bradley Baker or a Terror Strong and 402 00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:15,560 Speaker 1: watch them do fifteen voices? That's they're amazing at that, 403 00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:18,560 Speaker 1: That's why they are who they are. Most people can't 404 00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:30,679 Speaker 1: do that. I have several questions following up on a 405 00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:32,520 Speaker 1: couple of things you said. The first is because I 406 00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:35,320 Speaker 1: can't get this out of my head. Searching too Is 407 00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:39,360 Speaker 1: that t o O? Or searching too? As the second 408 00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:43,600 Speaker 1: searching I think it's yeah, I'm going to make sure 409 00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:46,680 Speaker 1: see this is my My husband always has a joke 410 00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:49,119 Speaker 1: like if only we had a device when I'm like, what, 411 00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:50,840 Speaker 1: I just want to meet I say the same thing 412 00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:52,480 Speaker 1: to my wife. But I love the fact that are 413 00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:56,240 Speaker 1: you googling you as well, because I want to make 414 00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:58,320 Speaker 1: sure I get this right. So searching one, I just 415 00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:01,440 Speaker 1: want to make sure it's it was. It was actually 416 00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:03,960 Speaker 1: a huge hit. I know obviously you haven't heard of 417 00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:06,439 Speaker 1: it because you're asking me what searching too is? Well, no, 418 00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:09,040 Speaker 1: that's how money If that was Searching also, but there's 419 00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:13,720 Speaker 1: literally like there is a sequel, although not totally related. 420 00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:18,159 Speaker 1: Um and but Searching One, and I am now I 421 00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:22,320 Speaker 1: am going to look up my own movie to tell you, 422 00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:25,919 Speaker 1: Oh wow, I started this. Well, I don't have like 423 00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:29,080 Speaker 1: a huge part in it or anything. Um but I'm fine. 424 00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:33,040 Speaker 1: It's good Nia. It's it's Nia long and Ken long 425 00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:36,960 Speaker 1: and Storm read and so I play the best anyway. 426 00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:38,879 Speaker 1: I'm not even gonna say what. I'm like her Mom's 427 00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:42,359 Speaker 1: best friend and all both of that and the first 428 00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:46,760 Speaker 1: one are found footage. They're all found footage. So it's 429 00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:50,720 Speaker 1: like like the and I've done. Yeah, I did another 430 00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:54,080 Speaker 1: found footage and I can't remember the name of it. 431 00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:57,800 Speaker 1: Oh god, you got to google another film you're in, 432 00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:00,720 Speaker 1: Like I want to say Paranor World too, But that's 433 00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:05,439 Speaker 1: not it. That's where let's pretend it is. Let's pretend 434 00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:09,399 Speaker 1: what was it? But it was really fun. I had 435 00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:13,879 Speaker 1: a great time. But I know this this one is 436 00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:15,960 Speaker 1: like I just think that there's some that are more 437 00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:19,320 Speaker 1: like I really felt like the first I watched Searching 438 00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:21,159 Speaker 1: One before I said yes to Searching Too, because I 439 00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:23,200 Speaker 1: did not know about Searching One, which I will say 440 00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:24,880 Speaker 1: I think it was a Sundance movie, so it wasn't 441 00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:26,960 Speaker 1: didn't have high expectations. So then the fact that it 442 00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:28,840 Speaker 1: made as much money as it did, they were like, 443 00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:31,320 Speaker 1: we need to do a sequel. So but it works 444 00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:33,960 Speaker 1: really really well, Like I I felt like they really 445 00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:37,240 Speaker 1: pulled it off and and hopefully this one does too. 446 00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:39,280 Speaker 1: It was so weird because Tim Griffin and I and 447 00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:43,840 Speaker 1: our graduating class at Francis Parker there was about sixty kids, 448 00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:46,639 Speaker 1: so it's not a really big class, and We're like 449 00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:50,200 Speaker 1: walking down all at the at our fitting and I'm like, 450 00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:53,160 Speaker 1: what the hell are you doing here? And We've been 451 00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:55,600 Speaker 1: cast in this movie together. And we had our our 452 00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:58,399 Speaker 1: thirty five year high school reunion this year too, and 453 00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:00,439 Speaker 1: we were like there at the reunion, I'm like, we 454 00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:02,680 Speaker 1: just did this movie together. It's very it's very small. 455 00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:07,680 Speaker 1: I tell people that I start in a whole bunch 456 00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:13,040 Speaker 1: of never found footage, Like I mean, oh, I did 457 00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:14,960 Speaker 1: eleven movies last year. They just have never been able 458 00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:18,720 Speaker 1: to find any of the footage. Did you just make 459 00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:25,040 Speaker 1: that up? Or is that really that's improx really funny? 460 00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:30,320 Speaker 1: Never found footage? I ever found footage films. I was 461 00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:35,000 Speaker 1: very good in several. Um. My other question for you 462 00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:38,480 Speaker 1: is you're a huge Chicago sports fan, but you go 463 00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:47,480 Speaker 1: to school in Wisconsin on Wisconsin fight. Um yeah, well okay, 464 00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:53,760 Speaker 1: first of all, Wisconsin, I'm not a huge Chicago college 465 00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:57,040 Speaker 1: sports fan. Okay, you're a pro. You're it's you're the 466 00:23:57,080 --> 00:24:00,640 Speaker 1: Bulls and the Blackhawks. And I don't have a real 467 00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:05,480 Speaker 1: investment in any Chica, in any Alchanic colleges. Like I mean, 468 00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:07,560 Speaker 1: not that I don't want Northwestern to win or whatever, like, 469 00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:11,840 Speaker 1: but I'm not if anything. My my both of my 470 00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:17,840 Speaker 1: um grandparents were professors at University of Michigan, and so 471 00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:21,160 Speaker 1: I grew up with like go blue, big time, like 472 00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:23,639 Speaker 1: it was all about what did they what did they teach? 473 00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:30,439 Speaker 1: My one was a sociology profession professor and one was architecture. Um. Yeah, 474 00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:33,560 Speaker 1: and my my one project dolmanac. Sy, I did look 475 00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:39,200 Speaker 1: it up, project Dolmanac.

My great grandfather on my mom's 478 00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:48,879 Speaker 1: side was Joseph my Welch, who prosecuted McCarthy. So I 479 00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:53,720 Speaker 1: came from a very like cool like American history story 480 00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:59,080 Speaker 1: of a Republican who was really decent um and and 481 00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:00,959 Speaker 1: not that they can exist now, but it was at 482 00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:04,600 Speaker 1: a time when it was. He did some really amazing things. 483 00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:08,480 Speaker 1: And then my my my dad's family was like the 484 00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:11,919 Speaker 1: Democrats of vann Arbor. So there were these two families 485 00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:13,800 Speaker 1: and they all they loved each other and they got along. 486 00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:18,439 Speaker 1: They were completely opposite politically. Um, but my my dad's 487 00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:21,760 Speaker 1: dad was blind. Uh. He lost his eyesight at like 488 00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:25,600 Speaker 1: age thirty through something that now we could easily fix, 489 00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:29,120 Speaker 1: and he still became a professor. He was a German Jew. 490 00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:31,600 Speaker 1: He left during World War Two. He escaped because University 491 00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:34,000 Speaker 1: of Michigan sponsored him to come over here. He was 492 00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:38,439 Speaker 1: a really bright, brilliant guy who would would not have 493 00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:42,160 Speaker 1: survived if he stayed in Berlin, so they smuggled him 494 00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:44,720 Speaker 1: out and he became a professor and the head of 495 00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:47,879 Speaker 1: the sociology department and wrote textbooks blind. So I come 496 00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:50,720 Speaker 1: from very brilliant. I am luckily. I always say, I'm 497 00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:52,359 Speaker 1: just dumb enough to be happier than a lot of 498 00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:55,280 Speaker 1: people my family. I'm not as luckily, not as smart 499 00:25:55,320 --> 00:26:00,120 Speaker 1: as all the really smart hard thinkers. But anyway, they 500 00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:02,200 Speaker 1: that's my I thought it was always interesting that my 501 00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:04,919 Speaker 1: dad became a disc jockey with a blind parent, and 502 00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:07,280 Speaker 1: it was something that like he could relate to. How 503 00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:10,560 Speaker 1: did I get on my family? Where did I go? Oh, Michigan. 504 00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:15,560 Speaker 1: But that's great, Yeah, we're talking about it was a 505 00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:18,840 Speaker 1: big turn. So so I was really into University of Michigan. 506 00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:20,480 Speaker 1: But I didn't want to go to University Mission because 507 00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:21,920 Speaker 1: my grandparents were there. And I didn't want to go 508 00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:23,760 Speaker 1: to University of Illinois because it was too close to him. 509 00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:25,119 Speaker 1: And I wanted to go to a Big ten school 510 00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:27,960 Speaker 1: because I was really into football. I was a huge 511 00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:32,680 Speaker 1: football fan. Oddly, Wisconsin sucked when I went to University Wisconsin. 512 00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:36,080 Speaker 1: We were like the world. I hated the games. It 513 00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:40,040 Speaker 1: was completely unpleasant. I didn't realize, but that was how 514 00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:44,119 Speaker 1: that now really funny as my husband now, Bradley Whitford 515 00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:48,119 Speaker 1: is Fromasonsin and his ex wife went to University Wisconsin. 516 00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:51,000 Speaker 1: So I think he's also a Connecticut boy. Is he is? He? 517 00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:54,520 Speaker 1: Bradley isn't Bradley Whitford Connecticut boy? I believe he is 518 00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:57,879 Speaker 1: from where he's also, you know, it might just be 519 00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:03,240 Speaker 1: his character in Western was, yes, but that's not that's 520 00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:05,720 Speaker 1: not Can I ask you a question, has your has 521 00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:08,760 Speaker 1: your husband ever done his impression of a throwing up 522 00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:13,640 Speaker 1: cat for you? I actually, you know Bradley, okay, because 523 00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:16,080 Speaker 1: it's one of the funniest things I've ever seen, because 524 00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:17,679 Speaker 1: I was in a movie with his ex wife and 525 00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:23,920 Speaker 1: he yeah, Jane played my mom and no, Jane played 526 00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:27,719 Speaker 1: my mom. She's she's wonderful, and and he came and 527 00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:30,640 Speaker 1: she and he did his impression of the throwing up cat, 528 00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:33,159 Speaker 1: and it's one of the funniest things. I think. I 529 00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:37,480 Speaker 1: wish he was here. You know why he's not here. 530 00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:40,600 Speaker 1: He just too literally no joke, took the cat to 531 00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:45,640 Speaker 1: the vet stop it because the cats throwing up. He 532 00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:49,560 Speaker 1: does this thing. It's literally really really visually, he's like gross, 533 00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:52,280 Speaker 1: it's just like backing up. He's like backing up as 534 00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:56,639 Speaker 1: he's trying to do. It's it's a physicality. So do 535 00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:59,840 Speaker 1: you so? Bradley also is a voice actor. That's so 536 00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:02,320 Speaker 1: I will tell you here's what I want to say 537 00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:05,080 Speaker 1: about the business that's so weird. First of all, yes, 538 00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:07,000 Speaker 1: he does animation and he's wonderful, but he also is 539 00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:10,400 Speaker 1: like one of the best, most iconic voices I've ever heard, 540 00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:14,879 Speaker 1: and he drives him crazy because he never he's not 541 00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:17,080 Speaker 1: invested in the way you need to, and he like 542 00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:20,440 Speaker 1: never gets commercial voice over. And we watched John ham 543 00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:24,119 Speaker 1: on like every damn commercial and I just want to say, like, 544 00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:27,600 Speaker 1: somebody hired my husband, like if I had, if I 545 00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:30,359 Speaker 1: had product the animation he gets. But like you know, 546 00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:32,760 Speaker 1: he should be like the voice of a car, like 547 00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:40,120 Speaker 1: he has this, he has reallything right. Fortunately, you know 548 00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:46,840 Speaker 1: he was the bad guy in Revenge of the Nerds. 549 00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:50,280 Speaker 1: Well that's that's when you're the bad guy, and Revenge 550 00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:53,719 Speaker 1: of the Nerds too, it's over at that point. I'm 551 00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:55,880 Speaker 1: friends with Ted McGinley. It was the same thing bad 552 00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:59,240 Speaker 1: guy in Revenge of the Nerds. One is he a 553 00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:01,680 Speaker 1: bad guy in Marvel? In that Marvel? What if? Is 554 00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:05,320 Speaker 1: he a bad guy in that he's in Marvel's What if? 555 00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:11,240 Speaker 1: My husband is Yeah, why do your husband Colonel Flynn? 556 00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:14,280 Speaker 1: He's Colonel Flynn. He and I were in Paranormal three together, 557 00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:18,680 Speaker 1: did you I think? I think with the Marvel thing, 558 00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:21,320 Speaker 1: if I'm remembering correctly, we were having dinner with Patton 559 00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:25,360 Speaker 1: Oswald and we had to ask Patton what the canon 560 00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:30,280 Speaker 1: was of the Marvel story. For yeah, we knew everything 561 00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:35,480 Speaker 1: because we didn't know. And by the way, so that 562 00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:38,040 Speaker 1: man works so much that like, well, we'll get invited 563 00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:40,320 Speaker 1: this is no joke and that sounds terrible, but he'll 564 00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:42,440 Speaker 1: get invited to like a premiere and we can't remember 565 00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:44,960 Speaker 1: what movie it is that that happened more than once 566 00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:48,080 Speaker 1: where we're like, wait, which one for what? It's like 567 00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:51,880 Speaker 1: that sounds that's how much she's doing. Great if you yeah, 568 00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:54,080 Speaker 1: if you're If you're not an actor, it's great. If 569 00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:55,720 Speaker 1: you're an actor, you want to like punch him in 570 00:29:55,720 --> 00:30:01,480 Speaker 1: the face. Like we're not going on discuss all right, 571 00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:02,960 Speaker 1: so wait, let me ask you a question. Let me 572 00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:07,400 Speaker 1: ask you a question other than reading the voiceover copy 573 00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:10,880 Speaker 1: in making up the ads in your bathroom growing up? 574 00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:13,120 Speaker 1: Did you grow up an animation fan? Did you like 575 00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:15,560 Speaker 1: cartoons and watch cartoons when you were Absolutely? But I 576 00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:18,720 Speaker 1: wouldn't say, like, I mean, it wasn't anything I ever 577 00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:21,640 Speaker 1: sort of envisioned myself doing. It wasn't really until I 578 00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:24,200 Speaker 1: got into voiceover. There were these two camps, right, It 579 00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:26,960 Speaker 1: was always like are you commercial animation? And I was like, well, 580 00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:30,320 Speaker 1: I'm I'm commercial for sure, right, But then I would 581 00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:33,520 Speaker 1: like it was always like almost on camera work was 582 00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:36,400 Speaker 1: that like dream animation became that where it's like, well, 583 00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:37,880 Speaker 1: I want to do the thing where you actually like 584 00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:40,080 Speaker 1: play a part, you know, and you actually get to 585 00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:42,520 Speaker 1: be creative. But I mean, I loved I grew up 586 00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:44,840 Speaker 1: on you know, Bugs Bunny. I grew up on Saturday 587 00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:47,520 Speaker 1: morning cartoons. I mean, I'm so old that there were 588 00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:50,160 Speaker 1: only Saturday morning cartoons. So I didn't have like the 589 00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:53,960 Speaker 1: breath that people have now, like now it's like, oh 590 00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:58,480 Speaker 1: my god, it's unbelievable what's out there. But it wasn't. No. 591 00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:00,480 Speaker 1: I mean. The funny thing was, as I had the 592 00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:03,600 Speaker 1: fantasy of being a commercial voice over, my dad's friend 593 00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:07,840 Speaker 1: quit being a disc jockey because he became the voice 594 00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:11,560 Speaker 1: of Heinz Ketchup. And I found out money he made 595 00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:15,320 Speaker 1: doing Ketchup, and I was like, that's the job I want. 596 00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:18,280 Speaker 1: And even still to this day, there's something about the 597 00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:21,080 Speaker 1: bang for your buck on commercial voice over that is 598 00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:25,040 Speaker 1: unparalleled in any other area. It's like a ridiculous the 599 00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:27,160 Speaker 1: less work you do, the less you say. We used 600 00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:29,520 Speaker 1: always say, the less words, the more money you're gonna make, 601 00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:32,840 Speaker 1: Like you know, it was crazy and and and I 602 00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:36,640 Speaker 1: got these.

I think 651 00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:10,040 Speaker 1: when I'm doing AD reads, I'm so much more focused 652 00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:15,279 Speaker 1: on who I'm talking to, like as opposed to like 653 00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:18,080 Speaker 1: in a in an animated series. I'm more like I'm 654 00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:20,960 Speaker 1: in my character, I'm in dialogue. I'm but like AD 655 00:34:21,080 --> 00:34:27,759 Speaker 1: is like intention So who who is my audience? And 656 00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:31,640 Speaker 1: what am I what? What? What is the main message 657 00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:33,319 Speaker 1: of what I'm trying to say here? And I would say, 658 00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:35,759 Speaker 1: like the most successful ad campaign that I was a 659 00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:38,360 Speaker 1: part of was definitely Simbalta, which was one of the 660 00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:40,879 Speaker 1: early days of antidepressants, and it was this whole new 661 00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:44,040 Speaker 1: genre of commercial where we were trying to talk to 662 00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:47,000 Speaker 1: people who had like mental health issues and to and 663 00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:51,959 Speaker 1: I'm trying to communicate in a compassionate and an empathetic 664 00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:55,680 Speaker 1: way and get into the state and you can't judge. 665 00:34:55,960 --> 00:34:57,000 Speaker 1: I mean I had a friend who tried to do 666 00:34:57,080 --> 00:34:59,400 Speaker 1: commercial voice already just couldn't do it because he judged 667 00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:01,239 Speaker 1: it left and right. Like you have to just go 668 00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:04,640 Speaker 1: in and know, like, yes, it's an ad for something, 669 00:35:04,680 --> 00:35:07,799 Speaker 1: but it needs to be treated and performed in a 670 00:35:07,840 --> 00:35:13,160 Speaker 1: way that you're really you're communicating something to somebody for 671 00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:17,120 Speaker 1: a purpose, whether to heal them, to inspire them, to 672 00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:20,839 Speaker 1: help them. But it's very other directed as opposed to 673 00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:22,800 Speaker 1: like and I think one of the big mistakes people 674 00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:24,440 Speaker 1: make is they like think about how does this how 675 00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:28,000 Speaker 1: does my voice sound? Whereas actually an animation that's kind 676 00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:29,919 Speaker 1: of more important a lot, like especially when I'm playing, 677 00:35:29,920 --> 00:35:32,080 Speaker 1: like we always are dropping it like drop it, drop it, 678 00:35:32,120 --> 00:35:34,520 Speaker 1: because I like, I need to stay in a certain 679 00:35:34,640 --> 00:35:37,160 Speaker 1: zone to not sound like hope, you know, like I 680 00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:42,000 Speaker 1: need to to differentiate myself. I make sure asked, Yeah, 681 00:35:42,040 --> 00:35:44,239 Speaker 1: But when it's me in the spot, I mean, yes, 682 00:35:44,360 --> 00:35:47,960 Speaker 1: my voice quality matters, but it's the intention behind it 683 00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:50,040 Speaker 1: that's going to create the quality of the voice. So 684 00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:54,840 Speaker 1: I would treat it like uh much more a monologue 685 00:35:54,840 --> 00:35:57,319 Speaker 1: in a scene and think about who is that other 686 00:35:57,440 --> 00:35:59,600 Speaker 1: person in the scene with you? Is it your best friend. 687 00:35:59,640 --> 00:36:01,759 Speaker 1: Is it a it? Is it? You know? I mean 688 00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:04,320 Speaker 1: I think it's going to really influence is it your father? 689 00:36:04,600 --> 00:36:07,760 Speaker 1: Is it? It influences the way that you interpret the copy. 690 00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:11,000 Speaker 1: And I also think there's in copy if you really 691 00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:13,600 Speaker 1: take your time reading it, there's so many clues to 692 00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:16,399 Speaker 1: what's important to the copywriter and to the client that 693 00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:20,120 Speaker 1: you can tap into, Like they have very carefully constructed 694 00:36:20,160 --> 00:36:23,000 Speaker 1: the language, and so try to find the clues of 695 00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:25,680 Speaker 1: like what is the main message of this? You know 696 00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:28,279 Speaker 1: what am I what is the most important thing to this? 697 00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:31,840 Speaker 1: And um, yeah, it can be fun. It's like a puzzle, 698 00:36:32,080 --> 00:36:34,480 Speaker 1: you know, I think it it people. The other thing 699 00:36:34,520 --> 00:36:36,120 Speaker 1: I'm sure you guys get this all the time is 700 00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:38,480 Speaker 1: when you do voice over, everyone thinks like, oh, I 701 00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:40,319 Speaker 1: have a good voice, I could do voice over, And 702 00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:43,839 Speaker 1: it really is not about that. Yes, that's a wonderful thing, 703 00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:46,839 Speaker 1: but there's a lot of people with good voices. That's 704 00:36:46,880 --> 00:36:49,520 Speaker 1: not what's causing someone to be a good voiceover person. 705 00:36:49,640 --> 00:36:53,040 Speaker 1: It's like that you know how to perform in a 706 00:36:53,200 --> 00:36:55,919 Speaker 1: in a medium that's a small microphone, right, so you're 707 00:36:55,960 --> 00:36:58,040 Speaker 1: not using your body as much. I mean, it's funny. 708 00:36:58,080 --> 00:37:00,120 Speaker 1: I always talk with my arms. But like, I to 709 00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:02,960 Speaker 1: be very careful when I do animation because I start 710 00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:04,719 Speaker 1: to jump or you know, and they're like, you have 711 00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:06,719 Speaker 1: to stay on the mic, you know, like you know, 712 00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:12,160 Speaker 1: all right, Yeah, I'm like, it's yeah exactly, So you 713 00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:15,040 Speaker 1: have to. You know, there's a skill set to being 714 00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:17,600 Speaker 1: able to perform in a small space like that and 715 00:37:17,640 --> 00:37:20,600 Speaker 1: making it you know, real and intimate. So but yeah, 716 00:37:20,640 --> 00:37:23,640 Speaker 1: ad copy has just as much potential I think for 717 00:37:23,760 --> 00:37:29,359 Speaker 1: performance as animation is just a different focus. That's great advice. Yeah, 718 00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:31,719 Speaker 1: And and I you know, we keep trying to to 719 00:37:32,200 --> 00:37:37,560 Speaker 1: reiterate everybody, it's not voiceover. You're a voiceover actor. You 720 00:37:37,600 --> 00:37:40,800 Speaker 1: can't forget to reacting part, which is the most important 721 00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:43,640 Speaker 1: part of anything you're doing. You are an actor. I 722 00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:45,360 Speaker 1: say it's my husband all the time because when he 723 00:37:45,560 --> 00:37:48,359 Speaker 1: I would help him with auditions sometimes and you know, 724 00:37:48,640 --> 00:37:51,240 Speaker 1: it's like he's thinking about how his voice sounds because 725 00:37:51,280 --> 00:37:54,920 Speaker 1: that's because he thinks I'm doing voice over now, Like no, no, no, 726 00:37:55,200 --> 00:37:57,040 Speaker 1: do the same thing you're doing a camera. It's just 727 00:37:57,080 --> 00:37:58,640 Speaker 1: you need to do it in this amount of space. 728 00:37:58,640 --> 00:38:00,160 Speaker 1: But you're gonna do the same You're gonna use that 729 00:38:00,200 --> 00:38:03,120 Speaker 1: same part of your brain. You know, Um, I don't 730 00:38:03,160 --> 00:38:07,400 Speaker 1: think about it because he was also yeah, well yeah, exactly. 731 00:38:07,440 --> 00:38:10,839 Speaker 1: So he's so apparently evil and incompetent at the root 732 00:38:10,840 --> 00:38:15,600 Speaker 1: of thing. That's what I found when pretty much. I 733 00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:18,799 Speaker 1: wonder if your dad knew Steve Downs We had him on. 734 00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:23,319 Speaker 1: Remember Steve was a disk job. Steve totally rings a bell. 735 00:38:23,480 --> 00:38:26,840 Speaker 1: So I have he does he have the voice of 736 00:38:26,840 --> 00:38:29,640 Speaker 1: of Halo? Oh wow, Oh, I'm sure they do, and 737 00:38:29,680 --> 00:38:36,480 Speaker 1: he was I'm sure they do. The names. Yeah, yeah, 738 00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:39,000 Speaker 1: Now I have a question, and I never really have 739 00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:42,200 Speaker 1: asked this now when we know that animation folks like 740 00:38:42,239 --> 00:38:44,920 Speaker 1: all sort of like are very the camaraderie is very 741 00:38:45,080 --> 00:38:48,920 Speaker 1: is very vibrant. But what about commercial? Yeah, you absolutely, 742 00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:52,520 Speaker 1: I'm still really close to I have really good commercial 743 00:38:52,600 --> 00:38:55,200 Speaker 1: voiceover friends in Chicago, and I have really good voice 744 00:38:55,200 --> 00:38:57,759 Speaker 1: over commercial friends in New York. I don't have him 745 00:38:57,760 --> 00:38:59,920 Speaker 1: as much in l A because we don't although he 746 00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:02,440 Speaker 1: used to when we would go to the agency to read. 747 00:39:02,880 --> 00:39:07,080 Speaker 1: I feel like everything has changed. Oh, I those are 748 00:39:07,080 --> 00:39:09,680 Speaker 1: some of my best friends in the world. Was I 749 00:39:09,719 --> 00:39:12,839 Speaker 1: have like a total crew in New York because you're 750 00:39:12,840 --> 00:39:15,880 Speaker 1: going especially when you're all in the same you know 751 00:39:16,719 --> 00:39:19,640 Speaker 1: you're all in the same category. And it's so different 752 00:39:19,640 --> 00:39:22,080 Speaker 1: than on camera because I feel like you're on camera, 753 00:39:22,160 --> 00:39:25,120 Speaker 1: there's such a bigger level of competition. It's such a 754 00:39:25,160 --> 00:39:28,560 Speaker 1: weirder energy, like people don't you're also way more nervous, 755 00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:33,520 Speaker 1: Like nobody's talking to each other. It's totally neronic, whereas voiceover, 756 00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:35,920 Speaker 1: you read your script, you're ready to go and you 757 00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:39,280 Speaker 1: just get to chat and everybody is just like super cool. 758 00:39:39,520 --> 00:39:42,759 Speaker 1: Most people also weren't starving or terrified like there was. 759 00:39:42,800 --> 00:39:45,560 Speaker 1: It was usually like people who were lucky enough and 760 00:39:45,640 --> 00:39:47,399 Speaker 1: felt lucky enough, and so we would just like run 761 00:39:47,400 --> 00:39:49,160 Speaker 1: around New York. I mean some of my favorite memories 762 00:39:49,200 --> 00:39:51,719 Speaker 1: of my life is running around Chicago, New York to 763 00:39:51,800 --> 00:39:54,120 Speaker 1: those voiceover auditions during the day and like seeing my 764 00:39:54,160 --> 00:39:57,439 Speaker 1: friends getting a cup of coffee and yeah, very much 765 00:39:57,480 --> 00:40:00,680 Speaker 1: so in UM commercial because you're just all going out 766 00:40:00,719 --> 00:40:02,480 Speaker 1: for the same thing. And I feel so terrible with 767 00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:04,560 Speaker 1: the way it is now. I don't think any of 768 00:40:04,640 --> 00:40:06,719 Speaker 1: us see each other anymore, and I think it's a 769 00:40:06,880 --> 00:40:09,600 Speaker 1: huge it's totally different. Is it just not going to 770 00:40:09,719 --> 00:40:11,680 Speaker 1: go back? Is it never gonna go back? Or like 771 00:40:11,760 --> 00:40:13,439 Speaker 1: what do we think? Well, it's one of those things 772 00:40:13,440 --> 00:40:15,960 Speaker 1: where you you know, you get a lot of producers 773 00:40:15,960 --> 00:40:19,040 Speaker 1: that it's kind of I call it the reality show vibe, 774 00:40:19,080 --> 00:40:20,959 Speaker 1: where it's you know, you get a bunch of people 775 00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:23,120 Speaker 1: that get together and they go, hey, we can take 776 00:40:23,280 --> 00:40:24,840 Speaker 1: eight people and throw them in a house and not 777 00:40:24,920 --> 00:40:26,720 Speaker 1: have to pay them as actors, not have to pay writers, 778 00:40:26,719 --> 00:40:28,520 Speaker 1: not have to pay produce. Why don't we just do that? 779 00:40:28,600 --> 00:40:31,520 Speaker 1: It's cheaper? And so you get that with voiceover now 780 00:40:31,520 --> 00:40:34,400 Speaker 1: where it's like, hey, everybody does zoom, everybody has a microphone. 781 00:40:34,400 --> 00:40:36,239 Speaker 1: Why would we rent the space? Why would we do this? 782 00:40:36,239 --> 00:40:38,520 Speaker 1: Why would we do that? So you hope it will 783 00:40:38,560 --> 00:40:40,560 Speaker 1: go back and and I think it's going to come 784 00:40:40,560 --> 00:40:43,640 Speaker 1: down frankly to some actors starting to insist, which I 785 00:40:43,640 --> 00:40:46,200 Speaker 1: think will be great. But until then, I think this 786 00:40:46,280 --> 00:40:58,280 Speaker 1: is going to be the norm for a little while. Okay, 787 00:40:58,280 --> 00:41:02,200 Speaker 1: so a couple more questions because I thought this was 788 00:41:02,239 --> 00:41:08,160 Speaker 1: pretty cool. What is Julia Roberts, Oh, yes, we have 789 00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:11,279 Speaker 1: to go there. I'm just curious if you could just 790 00:41:11,640 --> 00:41:13,839 Speaker 1: very quickly do it, Julia Robert. If you can't, I 791 00:41:13,920 --> 00:41:16,560 Speaker 1: understand it, and I'll wait to see your Julia Roberts 792 00:41:16,600 --> 00:41:21,680 Speaker 1: impression in Paranormal three priminal activity but searching to searching, searching. 793 00:41:23,360 --> 00:41:26,000 Speaker 1: I got to work with her this year, and everybody 794 00:41:26,200 --> 00:41:28,359 Speaker 1: I was on gasolet. I played her best friend from 795 00:41:28,400 --> 00:41:31,000 Speaker 1: her childhood, and everyone's like, are you gonna tell what 796 00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:32,799 Speaker 1: are you gonna tell? Are you gonna tell her? Did 797 00:41:32,840 --> 00:41:36,560 Speaker 1: you did? But she had no idea? She's like what 798 00:41:36,600 --> 00:41:40,520 Speaker 1: are you talking about? And I was like, well, like 799 00:41:38,920 --> 00:41:43,600 Speaker 1: when I even had to go back to my agent 800 00:41:43,640 --> 00:41:45,920 Speaker 1: and go like it's legal that I do that, right, 801 00:41:46,200 --> 00:41:50,040 Speaker 1: because they're like absolutely. I mean so basically if people 802 00:41:50,040 --> 00:41:53,520 Speaker 1: don't know if you're a massive movie star, like you're 803 00:41:53,560 --> 00:41:55,759 Speaker 1: so busy that if they have one line change, they're 804 00:41:55,760 --> 00:41:57,520 Speaker 1: going to find a voice double to do it, like 805 00:41:57,680 --> 00:41:59,719 Speaker 1: or and I've done like a trailer. I did a 806 00:41:59,719 --> 00:42:01,920 Speaker 1: trail her for her that was like almost all me. 807 00:42:02,160 --> 00:42:07,400 Speaker 1: She has no idea, UM, and I did like I 808 00:42:07,440 --> 00:42:08,920 Speaker 1: don't know if I got used in the final, but 809 00:42:08,960 --> 00:42:12,000 Speaker 1: I get like day residuals on like snow White or 810 00:42:12,080 --> 00:42:14,600 Speaker 1: some anyway, she has no idea. But I learned that 811 00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:18,800 Speaker 1: she had no idea, So I learned that I could do. UM. 812 00:42:19,320 --> 00:42:21,720 Speaker 1: I learned that I could do for Julia Roberts because 813 00:42:21,719 --> 00:42:26,120 Speaker 1: she was the voice of America Online. Okay, years ago, 814 00:42:26,160 --> 00:42:29,600 Speaker 1: I was like, America, Why she America, that's my ride 815 00:42:29,640 --> 00:42:32,719 Speaker 1: or die. By the way, I'm still not yes, I 816 00:42:32,760 --> 00:42:40,160 Speaker 1: am there, I will be Yeah, my mom, the three 817 00:42:40,200 --> 00:42:42,879 Speaker 1: of you. So there were all these commercials running. She'd 818 00:42:42,920 --> 00:42:45,200 Speaker 1: had twins, and so she started doing voice over and 819 00:42:45,280 --> 00:42:47,960 Speaker 1: my dad called me and said, congrats, I love the 820 00:42:47,960 --> 00:42:51,000 Speaker 1: new America A O L spots and I went, I'm 821 00:42:51,040 --> 00:42:53,160 Speaker 1: not the voice of America Online. And then I was like, 822 00:42:53,440 --> 00:42:55,360 Speaker 1: I gotta find out who the voices. And when I 823 00:42:55,360 --> 00:42:57,120 Speaker 1: found out it was Julia Roberts, I was like, oh 824 00:42:57,160 --> 00:42:59,760 Speaker 1: my god, I guess I sound exactly like Julia Roberts 825 00:42:59,800 --> 00:43:03,359 Speaker 1: if my dad thought that was my campaign. So I 826 00:43:03,400 --> 00:43:05,799 Speaker 1: told when I moved to l A, I told my 827 00:43:05,920 --> 00:43:09,000 Speaker 1: agents that I must sound exactly like her because my 828 00:43:09,080 --> 00:43:11,480 Speaker 1: dad thought this. So when they would have doubles casting, 829 00:43:12,280 --> 00:43:14,239 Speaker 1: I auditioned for the first one and then once they 830 00:43:14,320 --> 00:43:16,759 Speaker 1: kind of know you can do it, you start to 831 00:43:16,800 --> 00:43:18,600 Speaker 1: get used. So I did it. I don't It wasn't 832 00:43:18,640 --> 00:43:20,759 Speaker 1: like a ton but I'd say maybe four times and 833 00:43:20,800 --> 00:43:25,000 Speaker 1: then the last what I do is I just go 834 00:43:25,160 --> 00:43:27,640 Speaker 1: it's not very different. By the way, it's a little 835 00:43:27,680 --> 00:43:30,920 Speaker 1: more it's just a little more southern. So it's a 836 00:43:30,960 --> 00:43:33,880 Speaker 1: little like I always do like them. What does she say, Like, 837 00:43:34,160 --> 00:43:36,719 Speaker 1: I'm just a girl standing in front of a boy 838 00:43:37,560 --> 00:43:40,120 Speaker 1: asking him to love her. Like, so it's a little 839 00:43:40,120 --> 00:43:43,759 Speaker 1: more dry and it's it's a little more southern, but 840 00:43:43,840 --> 00:43:48,520 Speaker 1: it's hardly different, right, It's just like, but I when 841 00:43:48,560 --> 00:43:50,680 Speaker 1: I went to the trailer and I was sitting next 842 00:43:50,719 --> 00:43:52,359 Speaker 1: to my ex husband at the time, and I was like, 843 00:43:53,280 --> 00:43:57,920 Speaker 1: you're practically married to Julia Roberts because that's like that's 844 00:43:57,960 --> 00:44:00,880 Speaker 1: me and I couldn't believe it. Um. But anyway, she 845 00:44:00,920 --> 00:44:03,400 Speaker 1: didn't know, and I was like, okay, zip it. She's like, 846 00:44:03,680 --> 00:44:05,359 Speaker 1: what do you do? Yeah? I was like, never mind, 847 00:44:05,400 --> 00:44:10,640 Speaker 1: I don't want to talking about that's like I need 848 00:44:10,640 --> 00:44:12,680 Speaker 1: to secure it. And I didn't tell her, like, oh, 849 00:44:12,840 --> 00:44:14,239 Speaker 1: I guess I won't tell you that I did an 850 00:44:14,239 --> 00:44:16,719 Speaker 1: impersonation of you on James Cordon, so we'll just like 851 00:44:16,760 --> 00:44:20,960 Speaker 1: skip that. She's like, are you talking about are you 852 00:44:21,000 --> 00:44:23,000 Speaker 1: talking about scratch or something? And I was like, yeah, no, 853 00:44:23,040 --> 00:44:25,560 Speaker 1: I'm sure it was scratch. I'm sure it was Yeah, 854 00:44:25,680 --> 00:44:31,400 Speaker 1: that's it. Um Okay.
