<v Speaker 1>that's in your kitchen now, there's no long commute back home.

0:00:21.160 --> 0:00:23.200
<v Speaker 1>You just walk from one room to the other, or

0:00:23.440 --> 0:00:25.360
<v Speaker 1>just walk to the fridge and pop open that first

0:00:25.440 --> 0:00:28.200
<v Speaker 1>drink of the weekend. Or you are at work and

0:00:28.200 --> 0:00:29.720
<v Speaker 1>you are going to be doing something. Let me know

0:00:29.800 --> 0:00:31.840
<v Speaker 1>what time you're knocking off and what then are you

0:00:31.880 --> 0:00:34.000
<v Speaker 1>going to be doing? Jack, What are you up to today?

0:00:35.000 --> 0:00:38.800
<v Speaker 2>Well, I have an audition today that I have to

0:00:38.800 --> 0:00:41.240
<v Speaker 2>do from my home. You have voice a voice acting

0:00:41.280 --> 0:00:42.440
<v Speaker 2>audition Bluey.

0:00:42.640 --> 0:00:43.839
<v Speaker 1>You a new character in Bluey.

0:00:44.080 --> 0:00:46.280
<v Speaker 2>I can't say what it is. It's not Bluey, but

0:00:47.159 --> 0:00:50.920
<v Speaker 2>it is an animation. And I've never been a voice

0:00:50.960 --> 0:00:53.519
<v Speaker 2>actor before, so I have no idea why they approached me,

0:00:53.560 --> 0:00:56.400
<v Speaker 2>but they're asking me to submit an audition. I just

0:00:56.440 --> 0:00:58.120
<v Speaker 2>have to do an American accent, is all?

0:00:58.360 --> 0:01:02.040
<v Speaker 1>Wait, what that's a tough accent for an Australian to

0:01:02.080 --> 0:01:04.919
<v Speaker 1>put off me. In US Brits, we're allowed voice artists

0:01:04.959 --> 0:01:07.280
<v Speaker 1>all over the world. I mean there's Hugh Lorrie in House,

0:01:07.440 --> 0:01:10.320
<v Speaker 1>Damian Lewis in Homeland. You know, you wouldn't know who's

0:01:10.319 --> 0:01:12.760
<v Speaker 1>a brit And you know, think about Christian Beoo. You

0:01:12.800 --> 0:01:15.199
<v Speaker 1>know in every movie he's got an amazing American accent,

0:01:15.240 --> 0:01:18.160
<v Speaker 1>but you never see even Hammersworth doesn't bother you know,

0:01:18.200 --> 0:01:19.440
<v Speaker 1>it's a slight American.

0:01:19.560 --> 0:01:22.679
<v Speaker 2>Actually, I can't think of any Australians doing American accents

0:01:22.680 --> 0:01:24.400
<v Speaker 2>that instantly come to mind.

0:01:24.480 --> 0:01:27.240
<v Speaker 1>I mean, what's the name even a crocodile Dundee. You know,

0:01:27.400 --> 0:01:30.200
<v Speaker 1>in his whole Hollywood career, Sean Connery didn't eve want

0:01:30.200 --> 0:01:32.480
<v Speaker 1>to try to change that Scottish accent. Even when he

0:01:32.560 --> 0:01:35.920
<v Speaker 1>was a Russian submarine commander in The Hunt for Red October.

0:01:36.280 --> 0:01:39.119
<v Speaker 1>It was still just a great, big Scottish bedded guy

0:01:39.440 --> 0:01:42.040
<v Speaker 1>running a Russian summary. Can you audition for me and

0:01:42.080 --> 0:01:42.679
<v Speaker 1>Pats now?

0:01:43.400 --> 0:01:46.000
<v Speaker 2>Oh I haven't practiced yet. They only they only emailed

0:01:46.040 --> 0:01:48.760
<v Speaker 2>me last night. Come on, no, you need a dry run,

0:01:48.800 --> 0:01:52.720
<v Speaker 2>Come on, give us a taste. Well, sorry, I'm just

0:01:52.760 --> 0:01:55.960
<v Speaker 2>trying to I'm stretching into it. I'm stretching into that.

0:01:57.400 --> 0:01:58.320
<v Speaker 2>I'm stretching.

0:02:00.080 --> 0:02:00.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:02:01.200 --> 0:02:03.880
<v Speaker 2>Well, Christian, yeah, good to speak to you. Good to

0:02:03.880 --> 0:02:08.960
<v Speaker 2>speak to you, Patrini Charms. Are you trying to be He'll? Yeah,

0:02:09.840 --> 0:02:12.240
<v Speaker 2>I'm not trying to be anyone. I mean, I'm not

0:02:12.280 --> 0:02:15.360
<v Speaker 2>trying to be anyone. I'm just trying to be Forrest Gump.

0:02:15.720 --> 0:02:22.120
<v Speaker 2>I'm just trying to be an animate. It's a Daisily Jack.

0:02:25.120 --> 0:02:26.919
<v Speaker 1>He's meant to have that elector surgery for them to

0:02:27.000 --> 0:02:31.680
<v Speaker 1>denly thing. Yeah, maybe they want a nasal character. Maybe

0:02:31.680 --> 0:02:33.440
<v Speaker 1>this is not be nasal on Bluey.

0:02:33.720 --> 0:02:36.400
<v Speaker 2>The only thing it said is don't be southern or

0:02:36.440 --> 0:02:37.360
<v Speaker 2>don't be in New Yorker.

0:02:37.560 --> 0:02:39.600
<v Speaker 1>Just you've just done a southern.

0:02:41.440 --> 0:02:44.239
<v Speaker 2>Mid Atlantic. I don't know what that means. Mid Atlantic

0:02:44.280 --> 0:02:48.360
<v Speaker 2>American accent and he's Christian. I'm coming here to do

0:02:48.400 --> 0:02:50.280
<v Speaker 2>a mid Atlantic. No, that is southern.

0:02:51.080 --> 0:02:53.200
<v Speaker 1>You're going into Mississippi?

0:02:53.240 --> 0:02:56.480
<v Speaker 2>Now, Yeah, can you guys do one and set me

0:02:56.560 --> 0:02:57.680
<v Speaker 2>up and then I'll be able to do it back

0:02:57.680 --> 0:02:57.880
<v Speaker 2>to you.

0:02:58.160 --> 0:03:01.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm hopeless that those things about you. See it's a

0:03:01.360 --> 0:03:03.840
<v Speaker 1>very very multicultural city, isn't it, Melbourne? Right? You get

0:03:03.840 --> 0:03:06.720
<v Speaker 1>people thorn over the order. Is there an American listening

0:03:06.800 --> 0:03:09.960
<v Speaker 1>right now? Who is mid Atlantic? Could you call in

0:03:10.200 --> 0:03:12.720
<v Speaker 1>so Jack can at least have some idea. I love

0:03:12.760 --> 0:03:14.680
<v Speaker 1>the way as well. Like for this show, the preparation

0:03:14.919 --> 0:03:18.160
<v Speaker 1>is amazing. I haven't done anything yet. I've got a

0:03:18.160 --> 0:03:20.880
<v Speaker 1>big audition in a couple of hours. You won't even

0:03:20.960 --> 0:03:23.519
<v Speaker 1>learn Spanish of your mother and law. Someone says, do

0:03:23.560 --> 0:03:27.480
<v Speaker 1>you'll earn some more money? Not really? Not really? Mops

0:03:27.480 --> 0:03:35.120
<v Speaker 1>and chocolateads. Have I got the role? Who do I voice?

0:03:35.800 --> 0:03:39.200
<v Speaker 1>The Christian O'Connell Breakfast Show podcast. Jack, I'm just trying

0:03:39.200 --> 0:03:40.320
<v Speaker 1>to give you some tips here of how do you

0:03:40.440 --> 0:03:43.119
<v Speaker 1>use your voice in different ways. You've got this voice.

0:03:43.040 --> 0:03:46.600
<v Speaker 2>There, Christian. Thank you for doing that, and I agree

0:03:46.600 --> 0:03:50.080
<v Speaker 2>with you on the different intonations you can put in

0:03:50.120 --> 0:03:54.240
<v Speaker 2>your voice to make the same words give different meaning.

0:03:55.240 --> 0:03:58.480
<v Speaker 1>Again, it's st all down sounds.

0:03:58.840 --> 0:03:59.880
<v Speaker 2>It's not Southern anymore.

0:04:00.000 --> 0:04:02.800
<v Speaker 1>So it is it's so southern. Jack's got a voice

0:04:02.880 --> 0:04:05.440
<v Speaker 1>audition today for something and I can't obviously say what

0:04:05.440 --> 0:04:07.520
<v Speaker 1>it's for, but he has to play and so it's

0:04:07.560 --> 0:04:09.280
<v Speaker 1>an American voice they want you to do.

0:04:09.840 --> 0:04:11.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's a voice acting role. So I'm actually doing

0:04:11.960 --> 0:04:14.760
<v Speaker 2>the audition from my home. I just send him my

0:04:15.040 --> 0:04:19.520
<v Speaker 2>American voice.

0:04:16.560 --> 0:04:19.120
<v Speaker 1>I have on the other son of it. When they

0:04:19.200 --> 0:04:22.880
<v Speaker 1>click open this and go what guys, guys get everyone in.

0:04:23.160 --> 0:04:26.600
<v Speaker 1>We've got a real I mean, they got Forrest Gumps

0:04:26.640 --> 0:04:30.279
<v Speaker 1>emailed in. He's obviously got a speech impediment in this

0:04:30.320 --> 0:04:34.000
<v Speaker 1>one as well. Christian, you said that Australians struggle the

0:04:34.040 --> 0:04:37.000
<v Speaker 1>actors to do American accent. What about Hugh Jackman, Nicole Kidman,

0:04:37.080 --> 0:04:40.880
<v Speaker 1>Kate Blanchet, Jackie Weaver, Rita. That's a great point, but

0:04:41.120 --> 0:04:43.280
<v Speaker 1>let me read those names out against if this feels right,

0:04:43.600 --> 0:04:46.960
<v Speaker 1>Hugh Jackman, Nicole Kidman, Jackie Weaver, Jack Post.

0:04:49.640 --> 0:04:51.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, this will just be the start for me. I'll

0:04:52.200 --> 0:04:54.240
<v Speaker 2>do the voice acting gig in the animation. Then I'll

0:04:54.240 --> 0:04:55.400
<v Speaker 2>probably be in the next X men.

0:04:55.560 --> 0:04:58.800
<v Speaker 1>All that's missing is a rocking chair and a banjo.

0:04:59.160 --> 0:05:06.480
<v Speaker 2>Okay, in California, Jack in California, Kay Man in California.

0:05:06.520 --> 0:05:07.599
<v Speaker 1>That's better, Actually, isn't it?

0:05:07.640 --> 0:05:13.320
<v Speaker 2>Pats better? That's better? Okay, Well, no, let's get ONSTA again.

0:05:13.360 --> 0:05:15.400
<v Speaker 1>He's gone over to India. On the night down. We

0:05:15.560 --> 0:05:18.599
<v Speaker 1>have Marcus. Good morning, Marcus, give money, christ And how

0:05:18.600 --> 0:05:20.760
<v Speaker 1>are you see? This is? This is how it needs

0:05:20.800 --> 0:05:23.640
<v Speaker 1>to sound. So you're from originally from North Carolina.

0:05:23.480 --> 0:05:26.640
<v Speaker 3>North Carolina, little town called lafayet, but being down under

0:05:26.680 --> 0:05:28.520
<v Speaker 3>now for the best part of twenty years.

0:05:28.839 --> 0:05:31.440
<v Speaker 2>Now, that sounds like does you sound like me? I

0:05:31.480 --> 0:05:32.880
<v Speaker 2>thought I was getting myself back.

0:05:32.800 --> 0:05:35.960
<v Speaker 1>For a second. Can you answering stout before you do

0:05:36.080 --> 0:05:39.200
<v Speaker 1>the gig? Marcus has got a great accent, Marcus, and

0:05:39.680 --> 0:05:41.080
<v Speaker 1>so what can you advise Jack?

0:05:42.200 --> 0:05:44.480
<v Speaker 3>I think his main problem is he's trying to uh,

0:05:44.960 --> 0:05:47.680
<v Speaker 3>he's trying to be in a stream speaking an American accent.

0:05:47.760 --> 0:05:49.080
<v Speaker 3>So what he needs to do a little bit more

0:05:49.080 --> 0:05:53.160
<v Speaker 3>effectively is punchy sentence. You know, North Carolina, South Carolina,

0:05:53.200 --> 0:05:54.480
<v Speaker 3>to the same sort of extent. What we do is

0:05:54.560 --> 0:05:57.240
<v Speaker 3>we finish our sence. Get it said. Let the other

0:05:57.279 --> 0:06:00.000
<v Speaker 3>person speaking Jack sounds like he's always asked him questions

0:06:00.400 --> 0:06:01.479
<v Speaker 3>like what are your asking to do?

0:06:02.760 --> 0:06:06.000
<v Speaker 2>All right, I didn't notice we did that, So punch

0:06:06.080 --> 0:06:07.840
<v Speaker 2>my sentences. So just stop abruptly.

0:06:08.880 --> 0:06:11.320
<v Speaker 3>It's not not being abrupt that you're not asking question.

0:06:11.440 --> 0:06:13.520
<v Speaker 3>You guys will do this thing at the end. Yeah,

0:06:13.560 --> 0:06:16.400
<v Speaker 3>you do like you're asking a question. Really strange. I

0:06:16.440 --> 0:06:18.240
<v Speaker 3>think you just should say what you be confident what

0:06:18.279 --> 0:06:18.839
<v Speaker 3>you got to say?

0:06:19.920 --> 0:06:22.840
<v Speaker 2>Okay, let me try again. My name is Jack. I'm

0:06:22.880 --> 0:06:25.880
<v Speaker 2>sitting in an audition today for a voice part and.

0:06:28.960 --> 0:06:31.120
<v Speaker 1>Voice broke. We pay a nine year old.

0:06:32.960 --> 0:06:35.360
<v Speaker 2>My name is Jack. I'm going to be sorry, Marcus,

0:06:35.640 --> 0:06:38.200
<v Speaker 2>just give me one more shock. My name is Jack.

0:06:38.200 --> 0:06:39.680
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to be sitting in an audition for an

0:06:39.680 --> 0:06:42.479
<v Speaker 2>animated character tonight, and I hope it goes well.

0:06:43.720 --> 0:06:45.279
<v Speaker 3>Look, I think that's sound a lot better. Jack. I

0:06:45.320 --> 0:06:47.600
<v Speaker 3>think you're starting to get there. Uh, same sort of thing.

0:06:47.720 --> 0:06:49.359
<v Speaker 3>Be confident what you got to see. You've got to

0:06:49.360 --> 0:06:51.919
<v Speaker 3>push through that sense at the moment you're sort of

0:06:51.920 --> 0:06:54.520
<v Speaker 3>holding it back. You know you're gonna stuff up. They

0:06:54.520 --> 0:06:55.880
<v Speaker 3>don't care. They want to know what you can do.

0:06:56.120 --> 0:06:59.320
<v Speaker 3>Take directions. So take direction. I'm sure you're sentence of Jack,

0:06:59.400 --> 0:07:01.800
<v Speaker 3>or get out the I love.

0:07:01.720 --> 0:07:05.000
<v Speaker 1>This, Marcus. I'll get I'll get his agent's details. If

0:07:05.040 --> 0:07:07.160
<v Speaker 1>I were you, I just get that you should get

0:07:07.200 --> 0:07:07.560
<v Speaker 1>the gig.

0:07:09.040 --> 0:07:12.600
<v Speaker 3>I'll leave out to Jack. That's your thing, Marcaus.

0:07:12.640 --> 0:07:15.480
<v Speaker 2>I think I just struggle with my confidence in speaking anyway,

0:07:15.520 --> 0:07:17.360
<v Speaker 2>regardless of if I'm doing an Australian accent.

0:07:18.320 --> 0:07:20.760
<v Speaker 1>There there's no wallflour on this show from chap Post.

0:07:20.960 --> 0:07:23.160
<v Speaker 1>You kidding? So yeah, give it again. So Marcus has

0:07:23.160 --> 0:07:24.520
<v Speaker 1>helping try and sound like Marcus.

0:07:24.560 --> 0:07:26.480
<v Speaker 2>Then, all right, what do you want me to talk about?

0:07:26.520 --> 0:07:27.520
<v Speaker 2>Give me something to talk about.

0:07:27.680 --> 0:07:29.600
<v Speaker 1>Tell us, tell us today what you had for breakfast,

0:07:29.840 --> 0:07:32.200
<v Speaker 1>but in a mid Atlantic voice, or you know, South

0:07:32.240 --> 0:07:33.320
<v Speaker 1>Carolina like Marcus.

0:07:33.880 --> 0:07:35.640
<v Speaker 2>Well, I got up out of bed. First thing I

0:07:35.640 --> 0:07:38.120
<v Speaker 2>did was made myself a smoothie. What I put in

0:07:38.160 --> 0:07:41.120
<v Speaker 2>there was fruit and different things that go in a smoothie,

0:07:41.160 --> 0:07:43.080
<v Speaker 2>and I drank it.

0:07:43.200 --> 0:07:46.520
<v Speaker 3>Not bad, not bad. Now, just be careful, don't drop

0:07:46.560 --> 0:07:49.520
<v Speaker 3>back into that southern thing, you know, the certain thing

0:07:49.600 --> 0:07:52.440
<v Speaker 3>as you slow down and you drag your words out

0:07:52.440 --> 0:07:55.520
<v Speaker 3>because they're so boring down there, got nothing to say,

0:07:56.000 --> 0:07:58.000
<v Speaker 3>so punch your words. You'll be fine.

0:07:59.560 --> 0:08:02.680
<v Speaker 1>Another way, he said, fine, say fine, He went fine.

0:08:03.040 --> 0:08:05.560
<v Speaker 2>Marcus, I think with your coaching, I'm gonna just be

0:08:05.760 --> 0:08:07.040
