00:01:15
Hello, How do you get? The introduction.
00:01:23
Absolutely. It's the only way that I
00:01:26
introduce people onto the stage. Here we go Alright, well, how's
00:01:30
your day going? It's.
00:01:31
Going well so far. I got an extra dose of caffeine,
00:01:33
so we're doing great. I I haven't gotten my caffeine
00:01:36
back in yet. It's very evident.
00:01:38
So sorry. Yeah, I know, I know.
00:01:40
I'm sorry for myself. So before we jump into all the
00:01:44
fun things about you and your career and everything that
00:01:46
you've got going on because you've got a fun story, we have
00:01:49
a segment on our show called Growing Up Geeky.
00:01:52
OK, what did you geek out on when you were a kid?
00:01:55
Cartoons, animation like mostly like Cartoon Network shows, OK
00:01:59
actually The Powerpuff Girls who I have on my shirt, I have the
00:02:03
Powerpuff backpack so I was obsessed.
00:02:05
Bubbles is and was my favorite so.
00:02:08
You big Tara fan. She was an inspiration, OK?
00:02:11
Definitely. Yes.
00:02:12
Yeah. Yeah, she's been in everything.
00:02:14
So I mean, you can imagine that. Like if you have a childhood,
00:02:19
she's probably voiced something in that.
00:02:20
Probably yes. So.
00:02:24
We're good. Yeah, you're good there.
00:02:27
So now let's talk about your IMDb, because that is a that is
00:02:31
a stretch. You have over 150 credits to
00:02:33
your name. Yes.
00:02:34
OK, How did this all start? How did you get into voice
00:02:39
acting to begin with? Well, it actually started when I
00:02:43
thought I wanted to be an animator in middle school until
00:02:47
I very quickly realized I get burnt out from drawing way too
00:02:51
quickly. And in high school, my we did a
00:02:55
theatrical production of Les Miserables.
00:02:57
And my stepmother was like, you have to audition, you need to be
00:03:01
in this show. And I'm like, I don't know what
00:03:03
a Les Mis is, but I've always wanted to try theater.
00:03:06
So OK, I auditioned for it. I was beggar #12 thank you very
00:03:10
much, very proud. But it made me fall in love with
00:03:14
performing on stage. But I was one of those kids that
00:03:18
never grew out of liking cartoons, and I always was able
00:03:22
to pick up certain voices across different shows.
00:03:25
Particularly Kat Soucy always stood out to me.
00:03:28
I recognized her everywhere. And it was kind of that line of
00:03:32
thinking, I must have heard a voice on TV or something one day
00:03:35
and had the realization that like, wait a minute, that's a
00:03:39
person, that's an actor in a cartoon.
00:03:42
I like cartoons. I like acting and I became
00:03:47
obsessed with the idea. I started recording impressions
00:03:50
on my flip flip phone, including bubbles.
00:03:52
I, I would, I'd be talking to my phone and I would listen back to
00:03:56
it and think, oh hey, I'm actually decent at that.
00:03:59
That's pretty good. Yeah, thank you.
00:04:02
So I started to record things on my computer with my brother's
00:04:05
abandoned, abandoned gaming headset.
00:04:08
And I I would put little fandubs on YouTube.
00:04:11
This was like back in 2010. And then a little show came
00:04:15
around that some of you you might be familiar with called My
00:04:17
Little Pony. Friendship is Magic.
00:04:19
Yeah, I have a backpack right out here.
00:04:23
Y'all remember the bronies? I'm so so yes.
00:04:27
Actually that funny enough, I'm not a brony but I cosplay as
00:04:30
Deadpool and I'm pretty sure he is a brony.
00:04:32
That is hilarious. So that's the whole point of me
00:04:34
carrying that backpack. That's so good.
00:04:36
I became very involved with doing fan projects and that's
00:04:40
what I did for a while. For about five years or so, I, I
00:04:43
did theater. I would record things for the
00:04:47
Internet. And I eventually also started
00:04:50
working at the Disney parks as an entertainer.
00:04:53
I started at Disney World. I, I played a lot of the mascot
00:04:56
characters, Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Stitch.
00:04:58
And when I was done at Disney World, because I did that as
00:05:01
part of the Disney College program, which basically means
00:05:04
to work there first semester and then you go back to school.
00:05:08
But when I went back to school, I was miserable.
00:05:09
So I dropped out and I went to work at Disneyland for a year.
00:05:13
Coast to coast. Coast to coast.
00:05:14
Coast Coast Disney characters. Yes, so I did that.
00:05:17
I'm like, I might as well try to work at Disneyland because it's
00:05:20
in California and I can maybe try the voice over thing.
00:05:23
Gotcha. But that didn't really work out
00:05:24
at the time because I didn't have a car and I was in Anaheim,
00:05:27
which is all the way here and like LA is all the way over
00:05:30
there. So I had to go back home for a
00:05:33
few years after that. But then I kind of hit like a
00:05:37
rock bottom point in my life, I guess you could say when I moved
00:05:40
back home. And that's when I was finally
00:05:42
like, OK, I'm going to move to LA, actually to LA and see if I
00:05:47
can make this voice over thing really happen.
00:05:49
They did. That's awesome.
00:05:50
Yeah. Because now you're living the
00:05:52
dream now. Yes, somehow it worked out
00:05:54
right. I don't know how, but here I am.
00:05:56
Absolutely no. And I just have to think about
00:05:59
this because again, I've heard a couple of your interviews
00:06:01
before, so knowing about the characters, this popped in my
00:06:05
head every time I heard you tell the story.
00:06:07
Did you ever try to do the voices of the characters?
00:06:09
I know Disney forbids that, but it's like just even when you
00:06:12
were like, you know, backstage or something like that, did you
00:06:14
ever like try and like do Minnie's voice or do Stitches
00:06:17
voice or something like that while you were in the costume?
00:06:21
No, but I did something even better.
00:06:24
I like to think so I would when I was at Disneyland, I would
00:06:27
work in Mickey Mouse's house a lot.
00:06:29
And how it would work is they would bring in maybe a group of
00:06:31
20 people at a time and I would meet them and then the room
00:06:34
would be empty for a few minutes and it would just be me, my
00:06:37
photographer and the handler. Every time the room was empty I
00:06:40
would start to do this. And I would just troll my
00:06:48
photographer and handler and they had no idea it was me
00:06:50
because they can't see my face and they just hear a cricket in
00:06:53
the room. You.
00:06:54
Just got D Bradley Baker mini walking around.
00:06:56
And I did it the entire day. It was an 8 hour shift and by
00:07:01
the time it was my last, what do you call it last time to be in
00:07:05
his house? That's when my it was either the
00:07:07
handler or photographer. They finally snapped and they
00:07:10
said, OK, do you guys hear that cricket?
00:07:13
Do you guys hear it? I was like, I don't know.
00:07:14
I don't. Know.
00:07:17
I did it one more time after she pointed it out.
00:07:19
And then she turns. She looks at Mickey Mouse,
00:07:22
square in the eyes, and she goes, Is that you?
00:07:27
No, Frank Walker is in the room right now.
00:07:29
That's it's not. It's not.
00:07:31
OK, so I didn't do the voices of Mickey or Minnie or anything,
00:07:34
but I, I actually, I would work with Caitlin Robrock, who is the
00:07:38
current voice of Minnie Mouse, right?
00:07:39
She was a photographer at Disneyland at the time, right?
00:07:41
So I would work with her pretty often.
00:07:43
And so when she got the part of Minnie Mouse, I was like,
00:07:45
because she always did the Minnie voice to guests.
00:07:48
So it it was like it came full circle for her, which is cool.
00:07:51
That's that's amazing. So think back.
00:07:55
OK, so your first session, OK, right.
00:07:57
What was it like recording that very first session?
00:07:59
OK, so when you say first session.
00:08:02
Like voice over, like when you started getting into voice,
00:08:04
voice acting and everything like that.
00:08:05
So the first time you walked into a studio to go and record a
00:08:09
character, right? Like what was that experience
00:08:10
like? Well, there's kind of two
00:08:12
moments. The very first recording session
00:08:15
I ever did for an official thing was back in 2012 for this indie
00:08:20
game called Dust and Elysian Tale.
00:08:23
Not very well known. Yes.
00:08:25
You know that game. No one knows that game.
00:08:27
I play Bopo in it and I recorded that in my closet in my dorm in
00:08:31
college. Nice.
00:08:33
But my. 1st place for acoustics in the in the bedroom.
00:08:36
It worked out, it was crazy. And the the voice director for
00:08:39
that was Devin Mack, who he might know as the voice of Sonic
00:08:42
and Sonic Prime. Oh wow.
00:08:44
And he's basically my voice over mentor.
00:08:45
He's been there through my whole journey.
00:08:47
Really nice person. First time walking into a studio
00:08:50
though, wasn't until 2017 in the Secret of Mana remake and I
00:08:55
played the Sprite child Papoy. Nice.
00:08:57
That's my first LA gig. Nice, nice, nice.
00:08:59
No, that's the, and again, kind of going from from the the first
00:09:03
time recording in your closet to, you know, recording in a
00:09:06
studio, you know, there's some time between then.
00:09:09
So it's just kind of like, you know, what was the change in
00:09:12
your kind of like acting ability and style?
00:09:14
Like what had you done from when you first did the first time,
00:09:18
the first gig in the closet to doing the first studio gig?
00:09:22
So much. That's around the time when I
00:09:24
did my Disney adventures. I did a lot of improv in those
00:09:29
years. As you need to do.
00:09:31
Yes, So much improv. I was like in an improv club.
00:09:34
We perform once a month or so usually how that worked.
00:09:37
And I I recorded for so many fan projects online.
00:09:41
I remember I had like a YouTube playlist with all the stuff I
00:09:44
worked on. And at one point there was over
00:09:46
100 videos in there. And that was before I ever moved
00:09:49
to LA. Oh, wow.
00:09:50
So I kept myself busy. Yeah.
00:09:51
Yeah, so we we mentioned Tara Strong, we mentioned a couple
00:09:55
other people. Were there any other like kind
00:09:56
of heroes or inspirations that kind of like, you know what,
00:09:59
this voice makes me want to do this.
00:10:01
There's Greg Griffin or Greg Delisle.
00:10:04
I. Love Greg, she's the most
00:10:05
awesome person ever. Cat Sushi, I mentioned Tom
00:10:08
Kenny. Absolute legend.
00:10:10
Yes. The first time I saw him do the
00:10:13
laugh, like I didn't, I didn't realize that that's what he
00:10:16
does. I was like, oh, it's amazing.
00:10:18
Jeff Bennett, yes, he OK. He's so underrated.
00:10:22
He plays Dexter's dad in Dexter's Laboratory.
00:10:24
Johnny Bravo. He's so good.
00:10:26
His comedic timing really inspires me.
00:10:28
I I want to learn to be as good as Jeff Bennett.
00:10:30
He's just so good. Yeah, because he has like that
00:10:33
natural timing and he knows how to deliver a line and when to
00:10:36
deliver that line. It's beautiful.
00:10:37
So good Dexters lab is just like the king of voiceover mass that
00:10:41
whole show. Yeah, absolutely was.
00:10:45
And then I mean, I mentioned Bradley Baker earlier, the guy,
00:10:48
the man of 1000 voices. Yes, the fact you can do Perry
00:10:53
the Platypus is amazing to me. I got to show it to him once.
00:10:56
I took a class with him and I got to do the Perry voice and he
00:10:59
was like, I've never heard anyone actually be able to do
00:11:01
that. Yeah.
00:11:02
Very good, because between him and Frank Welker, like nobody
00:11:04
can do what they what they do. How?
00:11:06
Frank Welker did like Abu in Aladdin.
00:11:08
Blows my mind. I don't know how he did that.
00:11:10
But like, not just Abu, he did all of well, he did the the
00:11:13
Chamber of Secrets. That's.
00:11:15
Right. Huh.
00:11:15
Yeah, that's crazy. Like he, he, Welker, a lot of
00:11:19
people don't realize that the range that that man has.
00:11:22
And he's been Freddie consistently since the
00:11:25
beginning, which is he sounds the exact same.
00:11:27
Yeah, to this day, he's still Freddie and Gray is now Daphne.
00:11:30
He's so it's like, it's amazing stuff.
00:11:32
So obviously we love talking to voice actors and about voice
00:11:36
acting and everything like that, getting to know the process,
00:11:39
learning, you know, behind the scenes because it's, it's fun
00:11:42
stuff, right? Especially like how many people
00:11:44
in here are aspiring voice actors or want to be a voice
00:11:47
actor. There's a lot of you.
00:11:48
Yeah, so I mean, with all the people here who want to be voice
00:11:51
actors, this is all stuff that helps them along the way because
00:11:54
they get to see all this, right. So tell us about your process in
00:11:59
the studio, at home. What's the hardest, most
00:12:01
challenging thing that you have to do as far as when you work on
00:12:05
a project and everything like that, and then you know, to tail
00:12:09
in with something fun on that? What's the most memorable, you
00:12:13
know, kind of story that you have in any of the roles that
00:12:15
you've done? OK, so my process I'm going to
00:12:18
guess start with how I do my auditions because that's
00:12:21
probably the most difficult part of it because we have to self
00:12:24
direct and breakdown and analyze our scripts ourselves without
00:12:27
any help from a director or anything.
00:12:30
We just have to make the choices and run with it.
00:12:32
So I. Cold reading.
00:12:34
Yes, it's really good to learn to cold read.
00:12:36
When you first read something out loud without preparing it,
00:12:39
that's cold reading and you're going to do a lot of that as a
00:12:41
voice actor. You want to get used to it.
00:12:43
It's it's a good skill to have. But the most tricky thing for me
00:12:47
is yes, self directing, because a lot of the time we don't get
00:12:50
much information in our scripts. When we get auditions, we're
00:12:54
lucky if we get a picture. We'll maybe get a summary on the
00:12:57
project and a breakdown of the character's personality and what
00:13:01
drives them, what their deal is, what makes them tick, stuff like
00:13:04
that. And I'll go through the script.
00:13:06
I will read everything in the script, not just my characters
00:13:09
lines, because I want to be able to understand the entire scene.
00:13:13
I like to go through it and try to picture how it would play
00:13:16
out, like how it would be blocked or shot or animated in
00:13:20
my head. And that'll help me figure out
00:13:23
how far away I am from who I'm talking to, what is my
00:13:26
motivation, what are the stakes here?
00:13:29
And that way I can find the nuances in the peaks and valleys
00:13:32
of the scene. But when I go into a studio, I'm
00:13:36
going to have a director who's done all that work for me, so
00:13:39
they just have to tell me what to do and it makes my job so
00:13:42
much easier. So that's kind of the difference
00:13:44
there. Director does a lot of that
00:13:46
heavy lifting for us so helps. Right, right, right.
00:13:50
And then again, as far as like a most memorable experience that
00:13:53
you've had on any of the projects that you've worked on,
00:13:56
like just tell stories, OK? Definitely what we want here.
00:13:59
A memorable experience. Well, for when we are recording
00:14:02
Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, Golden Wind, it was right before the
00:14:05
pandemic started and up until The Notorious B.I.G episode,
00:14:10
like Trish's BIG episode, all of that was recorded in the studio.
00:14:14
But then once a pandemic happened, we all had to freak
00:14:16
out, use all of our stimulus money to buy equipment to record
00:14:20
in our walk in closets. And that's what I did.
00:14:23
And the body swap episode of that show was recorded in my
00:14:27
walk in closet while my boyfriend was asleep in the bed
00:14:31
in the room right next to me because he worked the graveyard
00:14:33
shift. So if you go and listen close
00:14:37
guys, you can hear a slight snore.
00:14:42
But it to me, it's just funny because if you watched that
00:14:44
episode, the dialogue I had to say was some of the most stupid
00:14:48
stuff I've had to say in my life.
00:14:50
I, I can't repeat it here. I don't know how young people
00:14:53
are in here, but what you can imagine, like a grown man
00:14:58
swapping bodies with a girl, it plays out exactly how you think
00:15:02
it would. And he had to hear all of that
00:15:04
out of context through the closet.
00:15:06
Because men are weird. Yeah, right.
00:15:09
So it's just very funny to other funny stories.
00:15:12
I don't know. It's just as you said.
00:15:14
I have over 150 credits. Have you done anything on like
00:15:17
as far as group recording? Like ensemble group recording.
00:15:21
We recently, I can't say what episode 4, but we did a digital
00:15:25
circus table reading recently. Are you getting ahead of me?
00:15:27
I already have. I have questions about that so.
00:15:29
OK, that's about all I can say though, and it was a lot of fun.
00:15:32
So I think it'll help make the future episodes a lot more.
00:15:36
It'll enhance our performance, I feel like.
00:15:38
Right, right, right. That's, I mean, that's one thing
00:15:40
with like a lot of voice actors before kind of the pandemic and
00:15:44
everything, like they did a lot more group ensemble stuff.
00:15:47
So yeah, there's a lot more improv, a lot more playing off
00:15:49
of each other and things like that.
00:15:50
I only got to do that once for the pandemic.
00:15:53
I haven't gotten to do it like, no, like group recording since
00:15:56
then. Yeah, hasn't worked out yet.
00:15:58
Has that project come out or is that digital circus that we're
00:16:00
it's digital circus. OK, OK.
00:16:02
So yes, we won't, we won't go too far into that then.
00:16:06
Yeah, I don't want, I don't want to get you trouble, in trouble
00:16:08
with Ndas and stuff. Yeah, especially if anything
00:16:11
comes up that's NDA related. Strike it.
00:16:15
Yeah. And also, by the way, guys, if
00:16:17
anybody here has any questions for yeah, or just get, get
00:16:20
ready. You know, the microphone over
00:16:22
here is exactly for that, to ask questions.
00:16:24
So if you have any, get them ready.
00:16:25
I ramble a lot, I'm sorry. So you've been in so many
00:16:31
projects, right? Again, 150 at this point it
00:16:35
probably is like a great ally where it's like, oh, I forgot I
00:16:37
did that, you know, so it's like to for for the ones that you can
00:16:42
remember yes, What which, which one would you say is your
00:16:47
fondest experience? Fondest experience.
00:16:50
Right, because I for for some reason, we always have it
00:16:53
written as who's your favorite character?
00:16:55
But that's that's choosing your favorite child.
00:16:57
Yes, right. So it's more what is an what is
00:16:59
your favorite experience? OK, I'm a little nervous talking
00:17:04
about the show, but honestly, obviously working on Magical
00:17:06
Senpai was a lot of fun because the director and I just played
00:17:10
off each other a lot and it was always a very like, just chill
00:17:14
time in the studio, and I kind of got to take a lot of reins
00:17:16
with that show. So it just felt really
00:17:18
liberating to me. And it was a very fun
00:17:20
collaborative experience and it's just such a goofy show that
00:17:25
it made it really fun to work on.
00:17:26
We didn't have to take ourselves too seriously.
00:17:28
It was like playtime. It was nice.
00:17:30
Yeah. And that's always the greatest
00:17:32
on that. Do you have any?
00:17:34
Do you have any, any franchises that you want to be a part of
00:17:38
that are just like, Oh my God, this would be, you know, like
00:17:41
with all the people we've talked to today, there's always a if I
00:17:44
could just get on this one right here, I would die.
00:17:47
I would want to be either in the Mario franchise or Smash
00:17:51
Brothers. Oh yeah, I think that'd be
00:17:53
really. Cool.
00:17:53
Any particular characters? Princess Daisy.
00:17:55
Daisy OK, And I'm just doing this now, right?
00:17:58
This is for all the future fans here.
00:18:00
OK? Let me hear your Daisy.
00:18:03
Hi, I'm Daisy. Not bad.
00:18:04
Again, I mean, that's the thing about like a lot of times with
00:18:08
Japanese characters, they just got to be high and up and and
00:18:11
energetic. So it's just you have that for
00:18:14
sure. Thank you.
00:18:15
Yeah, the energy is 100% there. So coming over to this, so one
00:18:21
of your more recent projects, you were in Tome 2 lives, Yes,
00:18:26
right. With fellow Beaver State alumni
00:18:29
Kristiosi. OK.
00:18:30
What's it like working and collaborating on those types of
00:18:32
projects? Generally, I like working on
00:18:34
indie things because a lot of the time, again, I get really
00:18:38
creative liberty with it and I get to have a lot of fun.
00:18:41
And with that game in particular, I played so many
00:18:43
different unique characters that I really got to explore my range
00:18:48
and try different things. And I play this character called
00:18:51
Centauri, who's supposed to be like a sundae tutorial chicken,
00:18:57
and she'll call you. So that was a lot of fun to
00:19:02
record. And every time I did the stupid
00:19:04
sound, Chris would laugh so. I would too.
00:19:06
I love working on stuff like that, yeah.
00:19:09
What do you as an actor, what do you, what do you prefer as far
00:19:13
as like style of of recording? Do you prefer traditional
00:19:16
animation where they animate based on your performance?
00:19:19
Do you prefer anime where it's just lip flap all day?
00:19:23
Or do you prefer video games where you get to say for like 10
00:19:27
hours? I prefer traditional animation,
00:19:30
OK, because I get to make the character in the voice and I
00:19:34
don't have to restrain myself to timing.
00:19:37
I don't have to throw out my voice by screaming from death
00:19:40
1000 times like a video game. Video game video games kill your
00:19:44
voice. Yes, a lot of time.
00:19:45
Video games also have a lot of dialogue, which is good money,
00:19:48
but it's very exhausting. So definitely Western animation
00:19:52
is what I love the most and it's so cool seeing everything come
00:19:56
together because with anime and video games, sometimes you'll
00:19:59
get to see the assets. That sort of the cut scenes, but
00:20:01
with animation, all you have is the script, right?
00:20:04
That's all you have. So when the animation's made,
00:20:06
it's just like, it's really cool to see how it all came together.
00:20:10
And I love that magic. Especially like when you get to
00:20:12
see the final product and it's like, that's me.
00:20:14
Right. Well, like digital circus.
00:20:17
I had no idea what gummy goo looked like and now everybody
00:20:19
knows his name and I'm like. Whoa, yeah.
00:20:22
I mean, just kind of getting into that, right?
00:20:23
There's a couple of episodes out at this point, two of them,
00:20:25
right? So, you know, as far as that,
00:20:28
you know, give us a breakdown of what you can talk about for the
00:20:31
series as far as like now that 2 episodes are out, you can kind
00:20:34
of give like a synopsis kind of thing, that kind of thing.
00:20:36
OK, well I don't want to give spoilers for episode 2.
00:20:38
Like, are there people here who want to see the second episode
00:20:41
of Digital Circus who have not seen it?
00:20:43
Or unless you all have, I don't know.
00:20:45
OK. Has anybody seen it?
00:20:46
OK, there's a lot. That's seen the second episode.
00:20:49
Good. What was the question again?
00:20:50
I got distracted. It's OK, you know hamster
00:20:54
running on the wheel, right? I get it.
00:20:55
It's the same thing like, like give us a synopsis, tell us
00:20:59
about the series. Like, you know, for, for people
00:21:01
who are in here that are like, what the hell are they talking
00:21:03
about right now? So yes, The Amazing Digital
00:21:06
Circus is an animated series that's on YouTube.
00:21:09
It's made by a company called Glitch Productions.
00:21:12
They're a small indie animation studio.
00:21:15
They're based in Australia and the the show is about this group
00:21:18
of people who are trapped in a seemingly 90s point and click
00:21:23
adventure game based on a circus aesthetic and they can't escape.
00:21:27
And it's very existential and psychological and it's great,
00:21:31
right? It's fun.
00:21:33
It's the kind of thing that like, destroys your brain when
00:21:35
you're trying to watch it. It's like it's.
00:21:37
Existential dread right in a fun or at least like.
00:21:39
If you way, if you think of like you're the character and you're
00:21:42
just like, what do I do? Yeah, you.
00:21:44
Know I relate to Palmni a lot. Oh man.
00:21:51
I think we all do. This is a lot so so going back
00:21:57
and just kind of picking your brain right and the and the
00:21:59
things that you enjoy and how you are looking back.
00:22:02
Is there any advice that you would give your the younger
00:22:04
version of yourself? To trust myself to take that
00:22:09
leap, I I should have trusted my I don't know.
00:22:14
I should have believed in myself more because I kept trying to
00:22:17
follow different paths of life that I felt I was supposed to do
00:22:21
but that I didn't want to do. So when I finally started making
00:22:25
my own choices was a lot happier, even though it was
00:22:27
difficult. Starting and voiceover was
00:22:29
extremely difficult, but I was able to do it because it's what
00:22:33
I love doing and it's my passion and I'm glad I finally followed
00:22:38
my intuition and did it good. That's.
00:22:41
Great over the course of your career so far.
00:22:44
Again, 150 credits is a pretty big career at this point, right?
00:22:49
How is your career changed in ways that you didn't expect?
00:22:52
Well, I certainly didn't expect to be recording from my closet a
00:22:56
lot of the time. Luckily, that's not as much of a
00:22:58
thing anymore. I don't know Well, I'm not doing
00:23:02
as much anime anymore because of the Crunchyroll Funimation
00:23:06
merger. A lot of that's gone to Texas
00:23:08
now, right? So I miss anime.
00:23:10
I really miss working on it, but I hear they.
00:23:13
With, with that whole thing they're going like in house a
00:23:16
lot now. Yeah, they they like.
00:23:17
To cast in Texas and have them in their studio there.
00:23:20
So yeah, it makes me sad, but that's how they to do it and
00:23:23
that's cool. They've got talented actors over
00:23:25
there. Other than that, I feel like
00:23:29
there's been a lot more indie productions than I thought there
00:23:32
was going to be in my career, which I honestly kind of like
00:23:36
it. It's kind of a beacon in this
00:23:37
kind of scary time in the industry because, you know,
00:23:41
people like Warner Brothers and stuff keep removing their assets
00:23:45
from streaming services and we're having so much lost media
00:23:49
and corporations just not wanting to put their money into
00:23:52
anime, right? So I feel like the the indie
00:23:55
sphere is just a good place right now to be hashtag release.
00:23:59
Wile E Coyote versus Acme. Seriously, please.
00:24:02
Yeah, I. Eric Bauza has been like a huge
00:24:05
advocate for that. And it's like I, I, I, any
00:24:08
chance I could have to say it? I say it, you know, we're on the
00:24:10
Internet to release it. You know they should.
00:24:12
They really. Should.
00:24:14
So we've, we've asked voice actors in the past in, in these
00:24:17
shows, like, you know, that we've been told about when you
00:24:21
get into a certain character, a lot of people say they have to
00:24:23
get into a posture or they have to do mantras or things like
00:24:27
that. You know, I've talked to Grey a
00:24:30
couple times and every time and she's like, yeah, no, I have to,
00:24:33
you know, remember the character or I have to put myself in a
00:24:36
mindset or things like that. Yes, Jackie Lashra has to put
00:24:39
herself in a certain position, things like that is is there any
00:24:44
kind of like weird quirks that you have to do to get into
00:24:46
character? So a lot of the time I'll.
00:24:48
Have what I like to call a hook line where it's kind of a phrase
00:24:52
that I, I'm really used to saying in the voice of the
00:24:54
character and I'll repeat it a few times to get me into voice
00:24:58
and same thing I will do like a posture like palm me, I will do
00:25:01
this kind of thing. I'm an old lady.
00:25:03
My jaw always comes out like, I don't know, that's just what my
00:25:07
face does. So it is like a physical thing.
00:25:10
Whenever I'm triumphant, I like put my hands on my my hips.
00:25:13
I get very physical in the booth.
00:25:14
Yeah, it helps a lot. So stuff like that.
00:25:17
Mark Hamill. If you ever watch Mark Hamill
00:25:18
work, the guy just just morphs like he.
00:25:20
Turns into the. Joker and it's creepy or Jim
00:25:23
Carrey. If you see his interviews
00:25:24
working on Christmas Carol, he like, turns into Ebenezer
00:25:27
Scrooge. Yes, it's nuts.
00:25:28
Yeah, he did the same thing. With with the the Grinch, he
00:25:31
did, yes. It's crazy weird facial.
00:25:34
Expressions to get to get into the Grinch.
00:25:35
It's crazy. Yeah, and it's like.
00:25:38
It's just fun hearing that. But again, it's it's what we
00:25:41
talked about it with Chris earlier is for all the aspiring
00:25:45
voice actors out there, voice acting is 99% acting and 1%
00:25:50
voice. All right.
00:25:51
So the whole thing is it's not so much about can you do a funny
00:25:54
voice because anybody can, Well, not anybody, but I mean, anybody
00:25:56
can go, hey, how's it going? You know, just like Mickey
00:25:59
Mouse, Oh boy, you know, things like that.
00:26:01
But can you say things as the character or I was told once Rob
00:26:06
Paulson, he said, can you sing as the character?
00:26:09
Yes, that's a good way to. If you're a.
00:26:11
Singer not, not, not every voice actor is a singer, but if you're
00:26:13
a singer, can you sing as that character, right?
00:26:15
You know, can you do everything as that character, as that
00:26:18
character would do it? So I mean like, you know, as far
00:26:21
as like the acting goes, what what is what are some words that
00:26:25
you can give people about, you know, honing their acting skill?
00:26:30
Just keep doing it. I I feel like a lot of people
00:26:33
just think they need to be able to put their their voice in the
00:26:36
right inflections and say how they think they should sound in
00:26:39
the moment. But if you're thinking too much
00:26:41
about how it should sound as opposed to how you should be
00:26:43
feeling in the moment, it's not going to sound natural.
00:26:47
You should be living the moment with the character and exploring
00:26:50
it as it happens. Because honestly, acting should
00:26:53
be called reacting. You're always reacting to
00:26:57
something. Even if you're the person with
00:26:59
the first line in the script, something happened to make you
00:27:01
say whatever you're saying. And you always have to keep that
00:27:03
in mind. Like what's happening to me
00:27:05
right now? Why am I saying this?
00:27:07
And I, I, I never know how to finish my sentences.
00:27:11
When I explain things, it's fine.
00:27:12
I mean, it's you think of. It like, you know, how many, how
00:27:15
often do you guys hear actors or when you, when you watch a video
00:27:19
or something, they say, actually, you mentioned it
00:27:21
earlier is what's my motivation, right.
00:27:23
But how many people here go, I don't know what that means.
00:27:26
Like raise your hand if that's what you feel when you, when you
00:27:28
hear the words, what's my motivation?
00:27:29
And you're like, I don't, I don't understand that right
00:27:31
there, right. And well, the whole idea behind
00:27:33
what's my motivation and correct me if I'm wrong, is, is, is
00:27:38
you're trying to find where that character is in that moment,
00:27:41
right? So you're in a situation, you're
00:27:44
a character, you're in a situation and you just saw your
00:27:46
best friend get killed. How would you react if you
00:27:49
witnessed that? And how would you do that as
00:27:51
that character? How would that character react
00:27:53
to that situation, right? It's putting yourself in those
00:27:56
in those shoes and, and actually becoming the character rather
00:28:00
than just saying, well, I can do a voice.
00:28:02
It's yeah, no, it's the voice is the last part of it.
00:28:05
It's can you be that character? Yep, right.
00:28:07
The motivation. Is is what your character is
00:28:10
trying to accomplish what they want in this scene, right?
00:28:13
I hope that helps you guys. Anybody that's that's hoping to
00:28:16
be a voice actor. So in the great debate, and I'm
00:28:19
really going left field now, a great debate, OK.
00:28:22
In the great debate. Do you prefer coffee or tea?
00:28:25
Coffee. How do you like your coffee?
00:28:28
With lots of cream. And sugar, there you go.
00:28:30
Or Nitro. Nitro infused like Nitro cold
00:28:34
brew. Cold brews are good.
00:28:35
So good. Absolutely.
00:28:37
I just. Found I need to be.
00:28:37
Careful with it at like some of those local coffee shops.
00:28:40
I got a Nitro cold brew once. It must have been like the
00:28:43
bottom of the batch because like 20 minutes later my heart rate
00:28:45
was like at 180. So I've learned, OK, you got to
00:28:48
be careful with Nitro cold brew because that's not normal
00:28:52
anything with more than 200. Milligrams caffeine.
00:28:54
Yeah, exactly. It's a crack in a can.
00:28:59
So here's the fun question that we tend to ask on our show a
00:29:01
lot, right? If you could be a superhero, who
00:29:04
would you be? Follow up to that as well though
00:29:07
what everyday task would be difficult for you to do as that
00:29:11
character would be difficult to do?
00:29:12
As that character, right? So like, you know.
00:29:15
The example in that is Superman can't shave because he has like,
00:29:19
indestructible hair. A razor can't shave his face.
00:29:21
OK. And in the comics, the way that
00:29:23
they've done it is he looks in a mirror and he uses his laser
00:29:26
vision to shave his face. OK, right.
00:29:29
As a very difficult task that is just a regular everyday task.
00:29:33
Kind of that's the example. If you could be any superhero,
00:29:35
be that superhero, but also what everyday task would be difficult
00:29:39
for you to do to bring teaser, right?
00:29:40
I would be. Bubbles from The Powerpuff Girls
00:29:43
OK and a task that would be difficult for me to do would be
00:29:47
to hold utensils because she doesn't have hands.
00:29:50
Yeah, she has no fingers. Right.
00:29:53
Has anybody ever. Wondered about that, how like
00:29:55
these characters are like in their world but they just have
00:29:58
nubs and they still can grab stuff like normal right?
00:30:02
That's a good answer actually. Maybe The Powerpuff Girls?
00:30:06
Do have telekinesis? I don't know.
00:30:08
I mean sugar, spice. Everything nice, the chemical
00:30:10
wax, who knows it can do. It right?
00:30:13
If you could have superpowers, what superpower would make your
00:30:17
life easier? I would want to be able.
00:30:19
To communicate with my cats. Oh.
00:30:22
Although I might regret. That because they would always
00:30:23
tell me they're hungry. But honestly, being able to
00:30:25
communicate with my pets would be cool because I would know if
00:30:27
they're not feeling good or something or if they need
00:30:29
something. It would be.
00:30:30
It would just be helpful. Yeah, Kitty.
00:30:32
Telekinesis just seems like it would be like the talking
00:30:35
squirrels and Rick and Morty. Yeah, right.
00:30:37
You can hear me, human. You hear our plans for
00:30:40
destroying the world. Oh, yeah.
00:30:41
What if my cat? Suddenly hated me.
00:30:43
If we could understand each other, that might not be good
00:30:46
cats just like. Oh no, no, this is not
00:30:48
happening. Who?
00:30:52
And this one, one of my favorite questions that we ask.
00:30:54
Right, OK, who would you most like to sit next to on a 10 hour
00:30:58
flight and why? Now this can be anyone, dead or
00:31:02
alive. It's just a 10 hour
00:31:03
conversation. 10 hour conversation.
00:31:05
With any past present. Future.
00:31:07
I don't know where Future would work on that, but yeah, maybe I.
00:31:10
Would want to pick mail. Is it Mel Blanc or Mel Blanc?
00:31:14
I mean, I've heard it both ways. I believe it's Mont Blanc.
00:31:16
I don't know which ones I would want.
00:31:17
To sit next to him and pick his brain because he's kind of like
00:31:20
the the 1st house name in the voice over industry that people
00:31:24
think of. Yeah, the man of 1000 voices.
00:31:26
I would like. To know his techniques or how he
00:31:28
develops his character voices or what the industry was like back
00:31:31
then, right? That would be really interesting
00:31:33
to me, right? Because back.
00:31:35
Then it was really he, he was an actor that just, you know, he
00:31:39
you needed somebody to play these cartoon characters.
00:31:41
So he did that. Yeah.
00:31:42
Yeah. Because he played Disney
00:31:43
characters in the beginning. He did.
00:31:45
Yeah. Yeah.
00:31:46
Which is. Really cool.
00:31:47
Yeah, Mel has. Mel worked on everything.
00:31:49
And it what's crazy, for those of you guys who don't know this,
00:31:52
it took ten people to to take up the work that Mel did when he
00:31:57
died. I believe it, yeah.
00:31:58
Wow, that's that's. How talented Mel Blanc was, is
00:32:02
it like not one person could come and take over his job?
00:32:05
They needed ten people to take over his characters.
00:32:07
Dang, I would. Also maybe want to show him some
00:32:09
of the recent Foghorn Leghorn memes.
00:32:12
OK, I've been going around where he's just slapping random
00:32:14
characters and like lecturing them.
00:32:16
That's like one of the best memes, I said.
00:32:18
Boy I. Said boy, I say.
00:32:20
Sasuke. Sasuke.
00:32:21
What you doing? Boy, it's so silly.
00:32:24
I love it. It's so.
00:32:25
Good. Do we have any questions from
00:32:28
the audience at all? Yes, if you want to start
00:32:29
lining. Up I would love to hear your
00:32:31
questions. Just go right into.
00:32:32
It Hello. Hi.
00:32:34
So there's a few theory videos on YouTube, right?
00:32:38
Yes. Do you watch any of those on
00:32:40
like digital circus or like I saw the mat Pat one?
00:32:45
I, I tend to steer from any of the the digital circus
00:32:49
conversation videos because I feel like it will just make me
00:32:52
anxious because I don't know what you guys are going to say
00:32:54
in those. And I'm just, I'm a nervous
00:32:56
Nancy. But yes, Matt Pat's theory I saw
00:32:59
and I actually thought it had a lot of merit to it.
00:33:03
He might be on to something. He might be on to something, he
00:33:05
might be on to something. Thank you, way too good.
00:33:07
Yeah. Like I guess.
00:33:09
His crazy things, Yeah, no problem.
00:33:11
Hello. Hello again.
00:33:14
As a big animation fan just like me, is there a piece of
00:33:18
animation on YouTube or online outside of the work that you've
00:33:22
done that you really, really like, that you kind of like
00:33:25
really hold close to you that I hold close to?
00:33:27
Me, would there be a music? Video, Or maybe it's a short,
00:33:31
you know, animated production, or maybe it's key framing, or I
00:33:36
don't know if I would. Necessarily say I hold this one
00:33:38
close to me, but my former roommate plays the main
00:33:40
character in it and they are amazing.
00:33:42
Their name's Madeleine Darrow. It's called the Acorn Princess
00:33:45
and it's a really cute animated short about an acorn Princess
00:33:49
and you should check it out. I definitely will thank.
00:33:51
You. It's really wholesome.
00:33:52
Hi. Hi.
00:33:53
Do you need someone to lower that for you?
00:33:57
Me. There you go.
00:34:00
Hi. So I was wondering what got you
00:34:03
into the amazing digital circus? How did you become part of that?
00:34:07
So I originally got into connection with Glitch
00:34:10
Productions back when they were making their show Sunset
00:34:13
Paradise. If you remember that one, I
00:34:15
played the character Maggie in it.
00:34:17
And how that happened was my good friend Elsie Lovelock, who
00:34:20
you've probably heard in a lot of Glitch stuff.
00:34:22
When the audition from Maggie went around, she told Glitch,
00:34:26
hey, you should send this audition to my friend Lizzie.
00:34:28
So I sent it and they picked me for that part.
00:34:30
And so by the time Digital Circus came around, they sent me
00:34:34
the auditions. And I actually, I read not just
00:34:36
for Pami, but also for Ragatha and Gangel.
00:34:39
No problem. So like on the topic of Digital
00:34:42
Circus, how did it feel having that small indie project turned
00:34:46
into like big? So me and the rest of the cast,
00:34:50
we're in a group chat on Discord that we lovingly call Raising
00:34:54
Canes. And after day four of the video
00:34:57
being up and it having reached 10 million views, we started
00:35:02
kind of talking in the chat being like, guys, I think this
00:35:05
is getting popular. And the next thing we know that
00:35:07
we saw one content farm video, like just one popped up.
00:35:10
We're like, guys, I think we made it.
00:35:14
And then the bootleg Halloween costume showed up and then the
00:35:17
bootleg plus sheet and, and then we're just sitting there kind of
00:35:21
like Ralph from that scene in The Simpsons where he's on the
00:35:24
bus. I'm in danger.
00:35:29
But it's been amazing because I think when it really dawned on
00:35:32
me how big this thing was, is when I got to sit like hidden in
00:35:37
the the vendor hall at La Comic Con, I think it was.
00:35:41
I was literally in like the corner of the convention, hidden
00:35:44
away from everybody. Yet every child that walked by
00:35:47
stopped at my table and recognized Pommy.
00:35:50
And I had a line at my table in the middle of nowhere in this
00:35:53
convention. And like, I think think the
00:35:55
show's popular guys. So I, I don't know, it's been
00:36:00
wild for us. None of us expected it to blow
00:36:02
up the way it has. And it's just, it's really been
00:36:05
a gift and I'm very grateful for it.
00:36:07
Were you kind of by the food? Trucks at the LA.
00:36:09
Comic Con, probably. At one point, yes.
00:36:11
Well, I mean like your your. Table was it like closer to kind
00:36:14
of that the doors where the food trucks were at I'd have been yes
00:36:16
because I. Was wondering like.
00:36:17
This table like has a massive line and I don't know what's
00:36:21
going on right now. That was probably me.
00:36:23
Yeah. Yeah, we like had a.
00:36:26
Clogged artery in the Convention Center.
00:36:28
It was nuts. I was like.
00:36:29
I wonder if they're like. Selling something or something
00:36:31
like that, That's, that's crazy. Yep.
00:36:33
Thank you. Thank you.
00:36:34
So much no problem. OK, a little.
00:36:36
Bit of a deeper cut here, but still Indy dust and a Lizzie and
00:36:41
tail please. Nobody knows about it.
00:36:45
I get it. And my question about that is
00:36:47
how do you get the role and how did you like seeing the final
00:36:51
product release? OK, so remember when.
00:36:53
I talked about about bronies. So Devin Mack, the director for
00:36:58
that game, found me through a fan dub I did of Applejack.
00:37:04
He needed someone who could do a Southern dialect and my family.
00:37:07
I was born in Oklahoma, though I don't remember it too well, but
00:37:10
a lot of my family has a Southern drawl, so that came to
00:37:12
me easily. And he sent me a message saying
00:37:15
I want you to audition for this indie game.
00:37:17
Showed me the trailer and I thought it was amazing and it
00:37:21
was an extremely validating experience.
00:37:24
That game alone made me really believe in myself, and that was
00:37:29
a lot of the driving force behind me trying to really take
00:37:32
voiceover seriously. Thank you for that.
00:37:35
Of course. Thank you.
00:37:36
Hello. Hello.
00:37:38
What do you. Sorry, my voice.
00:37:40
You're good. What do you think?
00:37:43
Like if Yun Fay was in like an attorney for a trial that
00:37:49
Nouvelette was what's ever the heck.
00:37:52
It's called judging. OK, that word.
00:37:56
What do you think would happen if if yen Fei was the judge?
00:37:59
Yeah. What kind of trial are we
00:38:00
talking? I don't know.
00:38:02
Is this a murder trial? It can be.
00:38:06
I love the hypotheticals. Yes, and seen and seen.
00:38:11
I feel like if yen. Fei were the judge of a murder
00:38:13
trial and they were found guilty.
00:38:15
She would have them stand here and she would do the sentencing
00:38:18
and instead of hitting a javel or whatever.
00:38:20
Is that what's called gavel? And thank you, she'd push a
00:38:23
button and drop them down a trap door.
00:38:26
Yeah. That she doesn't have patience
00:38:28
for that. Thank you.
00:38:30
No problem. Hello again.
00:38:32
Go out. All the boy character you out.
00:38:35
Where are you cool? What character do you want?
00:38:37
Do the mom? Which of my characters?
00:38:39
Do I enjoy the most? Yeah, probably Cisato from
00:38:43
Licorice Recoil, because she's just got such a big heart.
00:38:46
She's such a good character and I love that she stands up for
00:38:49
her morals, even though everyone's always like going
00:38:52
against her. She just does her own thing and
00:38:54
she's amazing. Nice to meet you.
00:38:57
Nice to meet you. OK, So what is like a good tip
00:39:01
to like to start like working on voice acting, to start working
00:39:04
on voice acting, If you're able to do any theater productions or
00:39:09
take any theater classes, that's a really good way to start.
00:39:12
Because when you're on the stage in theater, you have to let down
00:39:15
your walls because everyone's there with you, interacting with
00:39:18
you. Whereas voiceover, you probably
00:39:20
feel a little safer and not going to make as bold of choices
00:39:23
at the start. Theater helps you figure that
00:39:25
out, how to just breakdown those walls and give them 110% and
00:39:30
also just keep recording and listening back to yourself.
00:39:33
Yeah cuz I do take theater classes.
00:39:35
Perfect. You're off to a good start.
00:39:37
Singing also helps cuz it'll help teach you how to properly
00:39:40
use your diaphragm and have good breath support when saying very
00:39:43
long lines cuz it happens a lot. OK thank you.
00:39:46
No problem. There's some really good
00:39:48
questions. Yeah, these are great.
00:39:50
Hello. Nice to meet you, I appreciate a
00:39:53
lot of your work, especially congratulations with episode of
00:39:56
Digital Circus. Thank you, definitely almost
00:39:58
made me cry. Recipes the gummy goo.
00:40:01
The questions. I pretty much had directed to
00:40:03
you were primarily more towards a game called Unicorn Overlord.
00:40:08
Gosh, OK. What?
00:40:10
Was the process of getting into that, Have you played the game
00:40:13
yourself, and if you did, did you have a favorite character
00:40:16
that you definitely gravitated towards?
00:40:19
I will apologize. I've not played the game, I'm so
00:40:23
sorry. That is perfectly fine.
00:40:25
That was, it was recorded at Cup of Tea Productions in Burbank,
00:40:29
CA, which is the same studio where the Smash Brothers theme
00:40:32
song was recorded. Fun fact, they do a lot of Fire
00:40:36
Emblem Heroes and a lot of those Nintendo projects at that
00:40:39
studio, so I always like going there.
00:40:41
Very nice group of people. You had a few parts to your
00:40:44
question. Who's my favorite character in
00:40:46
the game? Yes, since I've not played it,
00:40:49
I'm not sure I can give you an honest answer.
00:40:51
I'm so sorry. No, definitely a.
00:40:53
Skewed answer at this point, right?
00:40:54
Yeah. But it was a wonderful project
00:40:57
to work on. I always like working with those
00:40:59
folks, absolutely. And even though where game has
00:41:01
beautiful art and I appreciate it, it really does thank.
00:41:04
You and thank you. Hello.
00:41:06
Hi. When?
00:41:07
You worked on Ena as Ena and Mooney.
00:41:10
Did you understand what you were working on at all or do you
00:41:14
still now or anything? No.
00:41:17
No. OK.
00:41:18
Have you seen this series? I have not.
00:41:20
OK, it'll make sense in a second.
00:41:21
It is 100% surrealism. It's not supposed to make sense.
00:41:25
OK. When I recorded for it, he just.
00:41:28
All he told me was, yeah, Anna's just super depressed.
00:41:31
Just make her as depressed as possible.
00:41:33
Give her an Ubu voice. And Mooney, she has a deep voice
00:41:36
and she's kind of a bully. And that's all I got.
00:41:38
I didn't know what they looked like.
00:41:40
It was just their dialogue. So when that first I'm choking
00:41:43
on my own dialogue. When that first episode came
00:41:46
out, I was so confused. It makes even less sense somehow
00:41:50
than when I recorded it. So yeah.
00:41:52
Which one did you like? Doing more and which?
00:41:55
Plus you do like more. Maybe.
00:41:58
The second one. I don't know though.
00:42:01
Anytime Mooney gets to be a sassy, mean gal, I like that
00:42:05
because I'm not like that and I need to let that anger out
00:42:08
somehow and Mooney let's me do that and that's why I pick up
00:42:12
boxing. Yeah, awesome.
00:42:14
Thank you. No problem.
00:42:15
Hello. It was really nice to meet you.
00:42:17
By the way, thank you so much for problem giving us the time
00:42:21
to take pictures. So I had a quick question.
00:42:23
Yes. What is one of your favorite
00:42:25
moments of every show you've been in?
00:42:26
Favorite moment? Like any moment like in the show
00:42:29
or from me recording it? Both.
00:42:31
Both OK. I like the scene at the fountain
00:42:35
and Licorice Recoil when she's trying to comfort Takina.
00:42:38
When they're at DA, they return to DA to deal with.
00:42:42
I think it was just Sato's like health, physical or whatever and
00:42:46
talking is all down on herself because all the other girls are
00:42:49
bullying her and just Sato just picks her up and spins her
00:42:52
around and comforts her and I think it's a really sweet
00:42:54
moment. They they need to kiss that's
00:42:58
all. Another favorite moment.
00:43:02
Recording the scene with gummy goo and Palmney was actually a
00:43:05
really nice moment as well. I love how Goose wrote that
00:43:08
scene and scene it animated made it even more special.
00:43:12
Nice. Thank you so much.
00:43:14
That is awesome. So we are coming up on time.
00:43:17
I've got some some wrap up questions here.
00:43:18
OK, so I'm going to ask you the hardest question you've ever
00:43:21
been asked in your life, OK? Everybody who has been to any of
00:43:26
the panels over the course of the day today knows what
00:43:28
question I'm about to ask right now.
00:43:29
Scared. Yeah, be scared.
00:43:30
Be afraid. It's hard.
00:43:31
And you live in LA now, so you better have a good answer for
00:43:33
this one. What is your favorite kind of
00:43:35
Taco? You love the delivery on that,
00:43:39
right? Like, yeah, they would expect
00:43:40
that carne asada. On a corn tatia with a handmade
00:43:46
tortilla, by the way. Yeah, well, my boyfriend makes
00:43:48
the best tacos. I'm just saying, he's a his
00:43:52
family's from Mexico, so he was taught how to actually make
00:43:55
tortillas and things like that. And they are wonderful actually
00:43:57
making them from MASA. Yep, Yep.
00:43:59
So every you know. What kind of masa he uses?
00:44:01
I just gotta ask at this point, I don't know, do you know?
00:44:03
He doesn't know. He doesn't know.
00:44:05
You just get. Masaca or whatever you get.
00:44:07
Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, then was your night,
00:44:08
bro. So normally we ask, right?
00:44:13
What's some advice you might have for anyone trying to get
00:44:15
into the industry? We've kind of talked a lot about
00:44:16
that. OK, right.
00:44:17
So let's ask this instead. What is one thing that anyone in
00:44:21
here can do on a daily basis to fine tune their craft?
00:44:25
Read out loud. Every day because we do not get
00:44:28
our scripts ahead of time, we'll show up in the studio and the
00:44:31
script will be there and that's what we have to work off of.
00:44:34
When people say you have to cold read, that's what they mean.
00:44:37
You don't get time. Just study your script or make
00:44:39
sure you can say all the words ahead of time.
00:44:42
You're going to be on the spot. The director is going to have
00:44:44
you do it a few times, and it's just good to practice reading
00:44:48
out loud as much as you can. One of the best things you can
00:44:50
do that is, again, great. Advice.
00:44:52
Yeah. Who would win in a fight?
00:44:55
Now that I'm like, is that the question?
00:44:56
Yes, who would win the fight? Go no Goku.
00:45:02
I, I I would. Argue Saitama, but we'll you OK,
00:45:07
that's a. Good answer.
00:45:08
That's a good answer. That's that's actually.
00:45:10
A really hard fight to to kind of pick up on that would be a
00:45:12
hard fight. Superman wins anyways.
00:45:16
I know, I just angered. Half the people in here Palmni
00:45:19
digital circus OK or Katoko Kotiko from.
00:45:23
Inspector yes, probably Kotiko, because even though she only has
00:45:26
one eye and one leg, she has that staff and I feel like she
00:45:30
could smack you really hard with that thing.
00:45:32
She's feisty, whereas Palm needs this timid little thing.
00:45:35
She's probably not going to want to hurt anyone, but Kotiko
00:45:37
doesn't hold back. She talks to spirits and ghosts,
00:45:39
so she's like. Let me knock you into the next
00:45:43
realm. Yeah.
00:45:45
So what's next for you? What's next for me?
00:45:47
Well, I am going to be going back to my table right now if
