6
00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:23,200
Speaker 1: You just walk from one room to the other, or

7
00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:25,360
Speaker 1: just walk to the fridge and pop open that first

11
00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:34,000
Speaker 1: going to be doing? Jack, What are you up to today?

12
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:38,800
Speaker 2: Well, I have an audition today that I have to

13
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:41,240
Speaker 2: do from my home. You have voice a voice acting

14
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:42,440
Speaker 2: audition Bluey.

15
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:43,839
Speaker 1: You a new character in Bluey.

16
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:46,280
Speaker 2: I can't say what it is. It's not Bluey, but

17
00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:50,920
Speaker 2: it is an animation. And I've never been a voice

18
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:53,519
Speaker 2: actor before, so I have no idea why they approached me,

19
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:56,400
Speaker 2: but they're asking me to submit an audition. I just

20
00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:58,120
Speaker 2: have to do an American accent, is all?

21
00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 1: Wait, what that's a tough accent for an Australian to

22
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:04,919
Speaker 1: put off me. In US Brits, we're allowed voice artists

23
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:07,280
Speaker 1: all over the world. I mean there's Hugh Lorrie in House,

24
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:10,320
Speaker 1: Damian Lewis in Homeland. You know, you wouldn't know who's

25
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:12,760
Speaker 1: a brit And you know, think about Christian Beoo. You

26
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:15,199
Speaker 1: know in every movie he's got an amazing American accent,

27
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 1: but you never see even Hammersworth doesn't bother you know,

28
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 1: it's a slight American.

29
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:22,679
Speaker 2: Actually, I can't think of any Australians doing American accents

30
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:24,400
Speaker 2: that instantly come to mind.

31
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 1: I mean, what's the name even a crocodile Dundee. You know,

32
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:30,200
Speaker 1: in his whole Hollywood career, Sean Connery didn't eve want

33
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:32,480
Speaker 1: to try to change that Scottish accent. Even when he

34
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 1: was a Russian submarine commander in The Hunt for Red October.

35
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:39,119
Speaker 1: It was still just a great, big Scottish bedded guy

36
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:42,040
Speaker 1: running a Russian summary. Can you audition for me and

37
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:42,679
Speaker 1: Pats now?

38
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 2: Oh I haven't practiced yet. They only they only emailed

39
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 2: me last night. Come on, no, you need a dry run,

40
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 2: Come on, give us a taste. Well, sorry, I'm just

41
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 2: trying to I'm stretching into it. I'm stretching into that.

42
00:01:57,400 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 2: I'm stretching.

43
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 1: Yeah.

44
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 2: Well, Christian, yeah, good to speak to you. Good to

45
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:08,960
Speaker 2: speak to you, Patrini Charms. Are you trying to be He'll? Yeah,

46
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:12,240
Speaker 2: I'm not trying to be anyone. I mean, I'm not

47
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:15,360
Speaker 2: trying to be anyone. I'm just trying to be Forrest Gump.

48
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 2: I'm just trying to be an animate. It's a Daisily Jack.

49
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:26,919
Speaker 1: He's meant to have that elector surgery for them to

50
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:31,680
Speaker 1: denly thing. Yeah, maybe they want a nasal character. Maybe

51
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 1: this is not be nasal on Bluey.

52
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 2: The only thing it said is don't be southern or

53
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:37,360
Speaker 2: don't be in New Yorker.

54
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 1: Just you've just done a southern.

55
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:44,239
Speaker 2: Mid Atlantic. I don't know what that means. Mid Atlantic

56
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:48,360
Speaker 2: American accent and he's Christian. I'm coming here to do

57
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 2: a mid Atlantic. No, that is southern.

58
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 1: You're going into Mississippi?

59
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 2: Now, Yeah, can you guys do one and set me

60
00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 2: up and then I'll be able to do it back

61
00:02:57,680 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 2: to you.

62
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:01,200
Speaker 1: I'm hopeless that those things about you. See it's a

63
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 1: very very multicultural city, isn't it, Melbourne? Right? You get

64
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 1: people thorn over the order. Is there an American listening

65
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:09,960
Speaker 1: right now? Who is mid Atlantic? Could you call in

66
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 1: so Jack can at least have some idea. I love

67
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:14,680
Speaker 1: the way as well. Like for this show, the preparation

68
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 1: is amazing. I haven't done anything yet. I've got a

69
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 1: big audition in a couple of hours. You won't even

70
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:23,519
Speaker 1: learn Spanish of your mother and law. Someone says, do

71
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 1: you'll earn some more money? Not really? Not really? Mops

72
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 1: and chocolateads. Have I got the role? Who do I voice?

73
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 1: The Christian O'Connell Breakfast Show podcast. Jack, I'm just trying

74
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 1: to give you some tips here of how do you

75
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:43,119
Speaker 1: use your voice in different ways. You've got this voice.

76
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 2: There, Christian. Thank you for doing that, and I agree

77
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 2: with you on the different intonations you can put in

78
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 2: your voice to make the same words give different meaning.

79
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 1: Again, it's st all down sounds.

80
00:03:58,840 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 2: It's not Southern anymore.

81
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 1: So it is it's so southern. Jack's got a voice

82
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 1: audition today for something and I can't obviously say what

83
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 1: it's for, but he has to play and so it's

84
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 1: an American voice they want you to do.

85
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a voice acting role. So I'm actually doing

86
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 2: the audition from my home. I just send him my

87
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 2: American voice.

88
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 1: I have on the other son of it. When they

89
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 1: click open this and go what guys, guys get everyone in.

90
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:26,600
Speaker 1: We've got a real I mean, they got Forrest Gumps

91
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:30,279
Speaker 1: emailed in. He's obviously got a speech impediment in this

92
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 1: one as well. Christian, you said that Australians struggle the

93
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 1: actors to do American accent. What about Hugh Jackman, Nicole Kidman,

94
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 1: Kate Blanchet, Jackie Weaver, Rita. That's a great point, but

95
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:43,280
Speaker 1: let me read those names out against if this feels right,

96
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 1: Hugh Jackman, Nicole Kidman, Jackie Weaver, Jack Post.

97
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, this will just be the start for me. I'll

98
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:54,240
Speaker 2: do the voice acting gig in the animation. Then I'll

99
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 2: probably be in the next X men.

100
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:58,800
Speaker 1: All that's missing is a rocking chair and a banjo.

101
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:06,480
Speaker 2: Okay, in California, Jack in California, Kay Man in California.

102
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:07,599
Speaker 1: That's better, Actually, isn't it?

103
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:13,320
Speaker 2: Pats better? That's better? Okay, Well, no, let's get ONSTA again.

104
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 1: He's gone over to India. On the night down. We

105
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,599
Speaker 1: have Marcus. Good morning, Marcus, give money, christ And how

106
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 1: are you see? This is? This is how it needs

107
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 1: to sound. So you're from originally from North Carolina.

108
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 3: North Carolina, little town called lafayet, but being down under

109
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 3: now for the best part of twenty years.

110
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 2: Now, that sounds like does you sound like me? I

111
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 2: thought I was getting myself back.

112
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 1: For a second. Can you answering stout before you do

113
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 1: the gig? Marcus has got a great accent, Marcus, and

114
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 1: so what can you advise Jack?

115
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:44,480
Speaker 3: I think his main problem is he's trying to uh,

116
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:47,680
Speaker 3: he's trying to be in a stream speaking an American accent.

117
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 3: So what he needs to do a little bit more

118
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:53,160
Speaker 3: effectively is punchy sentence. You know, North Carolina, South Carolina,

119
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:54,480
Speaker 3: to the same sort of extent. What we do is

120
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:57,240
Speaker 3: we finish our sence. Get it said. Let the other

121
00:05:57,279 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 3: person speaking Jack sounds like he's always asked him questions

122
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:01,479
Speaker 3: like what are your asking to do?

123
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 2: All right, I didn't notice we did that, So punch

124
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:07,840
Speaker 2: my sentences. So just stop abruptly.

125
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 3: It's not not being abrupt that you're not asking question.

126
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 3: You guys will do this thing at the end. Yeah,

127
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 3: you do like you're asking a question. Really strange. I

128
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:18,240
Speaker 3: think you just should say what you be confident what

129
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:18,839
Speaker 3: you got to say?

130
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:22,840
Speaker 2: Okay, let me try again. My name is Jack. I'm

131
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 2: sitting in an audition today for a voice part and.

132
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 1: Voice broke. We pay a nine year old.

133
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:35,360
Speaker 2: My name is Jack. I'm going to be sorry, Marcus,

134
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 2: just give me one more shock. My name is Jack.

135
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:39,680
Speaker 2: I'm going to be sitting in an audition for an

136
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:42,479
Speaker 2: animated character tonight, and I hope it goes well.

137
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:45,279
Speaker 3: Look, I think that's sound a lot better. Jack. I

138
00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:47,600
Speaker 3: think you're starting to get there. Uh, same sort of thing.

139
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:49,359
Speaker 3: Be confident what you got to see. You've got to

140
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:51,919
Speaker 3: push through that sense at the moment you're sort of

141
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:54,520
Speaker 3: holding it back. You know you're gonna stuff up. They

142
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 3: don't care. They want to know what you can do.

143
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 3: Take directions. So take direction. I'm sure you're sentence of Jack,

144
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:01,800
Speaker 3: or get out the I love.

145
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 1: This, Marcus. I'll get I'll get his agent's details. If

146
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:07,160
Speaker 1: I were you, I just get that you should get

147
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 1: the gig.

148
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 3: I'll leave out to Jack. That's your thing, Marcaus.

149
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:15,480
Speaker 2: I think I just struggle with my confidence in speaking anyway,

150
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 2: regardless of if I'm doing an Australian accent.

151
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 1: There there's no wallflour on this show from chap Post.

152
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:23,160
Speaker 1: You kidding? So yeah, give it again. So Marcus has

153
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:24,520
Speaker 1: helping try and sound like Marcus.

154
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:26,480
Speaker 2: Then, all right, what do you want me to talk about?

155
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 2: Give me something to talk about.
