It's one of the 23 00:01:37.359 --> 00:01:40.000 coolest characters in anime period hard stop. 24 00:01:40.319 --> 00:01:42.879 So anyway, without further ado, I could go.

Yes, 27 00:01:49.040 --> 00:01:50.040 it's a blessing to us. 28 00:01:50.439 --> 00:01:53.280 Thank you, blessing right back at you, guys, Thank you 29 00:01:53.319 --> 00:01:55.799 so much for having me, because you know, I've been 30 00:01:55.879 --> 00:01:58.519 working in the industry for twenty five years, starting with 31 00:01:58.840 --> 00:02:02.480 Gohan on Dragon Ball Z. When the character first appears 32 00:02:02.680 --> 00:02:05.359 after the time skip after cell, he goes to high 33 00:02:05.359 --> 00:02:08.840 school right and he meets Videl and Go ten kid 34 00:02:08.879 --> 00:02:11.479 Go ten comes into play, which Kara Edwards voice both 35 00:02:11.520 --> 00:02:14.400 of those. And Kara and I came from the world 36 00:02:14.400 --> 00:02:17.080 of radio. We were on Radio Disney and then we 37 00:02:17.159 --> 00:02:20.080 happened to hear about open auditions for what was then 38 00:02:20.159 --> 00:02:24.479 Funimation which is now known as Crunchy Role. So our 39 00:02:24.520 --> 00:02:28.039 careers and voiceovers started at the same time. And yeah, 40 00:02:28.159 --> 00:02:30.199 it was wild. Here I was doing one of my 41 00:02:30.479 --> 00:02:33.120 childhood dreams, get on the radio. The second one was 42 00:02:33.159 --> 00:02:37.159 to do cartoon voices. And then suddenly it's it's that opportunity, 43 00:02:37.400 --> 00:02:40.120 but it's also something I was already a fan of 44 00:02:40.240 --> 00:02:43.039 for like two or three years before that, when the 45 00:02:43.120 --> 00:02:46.400 Canadian English dub first started airing in America before they 46 00:02:46.439 --> 00:02:47.400 moved into Texas. 47 00:02:48.080 --> 00:02:51.280 Wow, well you were involved in the Canadian dove as well. 48 00:02:51.319 --> 00:02:54.919 I only as a fan I watching it. Yeah. Yeah, 49 00:02:54.960 --> 00:02:58.000 but since then I have met many of the cast too, 50 00:02:58.039 --> 00:03:00.360 And you know, that's that's a real perk to getting 51 00:03:00.360 --> 00:03:03.800 to go to these cons and then fanboying out over that. 52 00:03:03.879 --> 00:03:06.840 It's like, oh my god, I heard your voice for decades. 53 00:03:06.879 --> 00:03:08.680 This is so cool to finally meet you. You know. 54 00:03:09.159 --> 00:03:12.680 Wow, So before you got that role, you kind of 55 00:03:12.719 --> 00:03:14.919 already had like the ambition. 56 00:03:14.919 --> 00:03:18.240 Like absolutely really do that. I was a kid, probably 57 00:03:18.280 --> 00:03:19.879 seven or eight years old, and my dad and I 58 00:03:19.960 --> 00:03:23.240 would watch Looney Tunes every Saturday, and he told me 59 00:03:23.280 --> 00:03:28.240 about mel Blanc, legendary voice actor. There is no other 60 00:03:28.879 --> 00:03:31.520 one of a kind. And when he explained the process, 61 00:03:31.599 --> 00:03:33.800 it's like, yeah, he goes into a recording booth and 62 00:03:33.840 --> 00:03:36.599 he records and he does the silly voices and all that. 63 00:03:37.000 --> 00:03:40.120 I had no idea it was all about acting, which 64 00:03:40.159 --> 00:03:43.000 it is. It's not about doing silly voices or impressions, 65 00:03:43.039 --> 00:03:46.400 and I learned about the genius of crafting those performances 66 00:03:46.439 --> 00:03:50.439 and giving them personality traits or tics or things that 67 00:03:50.759 --> 00:03:52.400 even though you can kind of tell it's the same 68 00:03:52.400 --> 00:03:54.800 guy doing the voice, that's not the point. The point 69 00:03:54.879 --> 00:03:58.879 is he could make acting that totally sold what those 70 00:03:58.960 --> 00:04:03.000 characters were doing, and that just just firmly implanted within 71 00:04:03.360 --> 00:04:07.360 my head. I wanted to contribute to that one day professionally. 72 00:04:08.240 --> 00:04:11.280 Yeah, I think he was an absolute genius because he 73 00:04:11.280 --> 00:04:14.199 would do things that were unconventional. Yeah, like you know, 74 00:04:14.360 --> 00:04:17.839 like the screaming is really like the iconic thing. I mean, 75 00:04:17.879 --> 00:04:20.600 one of the many iconic things he did, but it's 76 00:04:20.639 --> 00:04:22.800 like he's just screaming in his own voice. He would 77 00:04:22.800 --> 00:04:25.759 be like bugs Bunny one second, and then the next 78 00:04:26.160 --> 00:04:29.319 second he's just screaming in his own voice. Yeah, totally 79 00:04:29.560 --> 00:04:31.399 so funny and iconic. 80 00:04:31.439 --> 00:04:33.480 And you could try to hear the room noise when 81 00:04:33.519 --> 00:04:36.399 he screamed that loud. Oh yeah, it was great. And 82 00:04:36.439 --> 00:04:39.120 I think he was also kind of responsible for voice 83 00:04:39.160 --> 00:04:42.759 actors even getting credits at all, because in the beginning 84 00:04:42.839 --> 00:04:47.759 years of all that, they didn't credit the actors in 85 00:04:47.279 --> 00:04:50.600 the voice over REALM and he kind of had a 86 00:04:50.600 --> 00:04:53.319 little trick up his sleeve when it came time to 87 00:04:53.360 --> 00:04:57.079 renegotiate his contract in a way. 88 00:04:57.600 --> 00:05:00.000 Yeah, what an inspiration, what a legend. 89 00:05:00.319 --> 00:05:01.720 Yes, that's so cool. 90 00:05:02.040 --> 00:05:05.759 Yeah, And you know it's like I was, I'm not 91 00:05:05.800 --> 00:05:09.519 gonna lie, I was a little I was a little 92 00:05:10.160 --> 00:05:13.639 star studded in the very beginning of the the intro here. 93 00:05:13.720 --> 00:05:16.160 And I know we said the one character, you know, Gohan, 94 00:05:16.240 --> 00:05:18.959 because I'm a dragon ball z nut. I don't know 95 00:05:19.000 --> 00:05:20.959 if you can see this, Kyle, but that's Chenron on 96 00:05:21.000 --> 00:05:23.240 the back of my phone. I mean, I'm telling you, 97 00:05:23.279 --> 00:05:27.079 I live and breathe it. But let's let's uh, let's 98 00:05:27.120 --> 00:05:29.959 not just glance past that. There are so many amazing 99 00:05:30.120 --> 00:05:34.279 roles that you are also known for in anime and 100 00:05:34.800 --> 00:05:39.680 beyond video games movies that are also amazing roles that 101 00:05:40.240 --> 00:05:42.680 I have grown up watching. Beyond Gohant, your influence is 102 00:05:42.680 --> 00:05:44.720 so massive. It's to the point to where like I'll 103 00:05:44.759 --> 00:05:46.839 just be watching a random anime and I hear your voice, 104 00:05:46.879 --> 00:05:50.360 I'm like, oh, that's that's that's you. You know, before 105 00:05:50.399 --> 00:05:52.040 we started recording, I was telling you I didn't know 106 00:05:52.040 --> 00:05:53.399 you were in one piece. I didn't know you were 107 00:05:53.439 --> 00:05:56.639 those two big characters. I was watching an episode about 108 00:05:56.639 --> 00:05:59.920 two weeks ago and I heard you and your voice. 109 00:06:00.040 --> 00:06:04.360 I recognized it on a thug, just some random thug. 110 00:06:05.079 --> 00:06:07.480 I've been many a thug, many of pirates, including one 111 00:06:07.519 --> 00:06:09.879 of the main thugs in the very first episode. 112 00:06:10.079 --> 00:06:10.759 That's the one. 113 00:06:11.240 --> 00:06:14.120 Yeah, the long hair and the goateee walks in the 114 00:06:14.319 --> 00:06:16.639 in the gang leader and in the in the bar 115 00:06:16.759 --> 00:06:17.639 or restaurant or whatever. 116 00:06:17.839 --> 00:06:20.160 Oh my god, Oh my god. 117 00:06:20.199 --> 00:06:22.600 I just saw the flashback and I was like, wait 118 00:06:22.600 --> 00:06:24.839 a minute, that's Kylie Bar because I knew we had 119 00:06:24.879 --> 00:06:25.800 an interview the mountain. 120 00:06:26.600 --> 00:06:29.319 Oh my god, yes, and. 121 00:06:29.839 --> 00:06:32.319 In that moment, I'm getting somewhere with this right just 122 00:06:32.319 --> 00:06:35.000 for the audience to hear the manifestation part. So, just 123 00:06:35.040 --> 00:06:36.600 a couple of weeks ago, I watched that flashback and 124 00:06:36.639 --> 00:06:38.920 I was like, huh, so, Kylie Bear isn't in one piece. 125 00:06:40.560 --> 00:06:42.639 But I thought you're just a thug. I had already 126 00:06:42.680 --> 00:06:45.639 seen two of your major characters that because of the 127 00:06:45.680 --> 00:06:49.160 acting that you were like, I couldn't tell it was you, 128 00:06:49.160 --> 00:06:51.360 you know what I mean, And that goes into what 129 00:06:51.360 --> 00:06:53.879 you're saying, you know, the acting. I just watched one 130 00:06:53.959 --> 00:06:58.040 hundred episodes last month of this character Veggie for our 131 00:06:58.240 --> 00:07:01.879 one piece Freaks out There. Oh my god, it's incredible. 132 00:07:02.319 --> 00:07:05.240 I lay in bed thinking about the little the binkie, 133 00:07:05.480 --> 00:07:08.839 the cigar binkie with the baby and just the whole Yeah. 134 00:07:08.879 --> 00:07:11.759 I mean it's it's hilarious, man, but it's it's incredible 135 00:07:11.800 --> 00:07:14.639 that you're here. I do feel a little bit of like, well, 136 00:07:14.720 --> 00:07:17.319 this is weird. I have for years I've wanted this, 137 00:07:17.399 --> 00:07:18.800 and it's like, now it's here. What do I do 138 00:07:18.839 --> 00:07:19.079 with it? 139 00:07:20.160 --> 00:07:23.199 Well, it's really cool. You know, you made it manifest, 140 00:07:23.279 --> 00:07:25.199 so you put it out into the world that came 141 00:07:25.279 --> 00:07:26.240 white back. Itches. 142 00:07:26.959 --> 00:07:29.279 My god, that is so trippy. 143 00:07:29.399 --> 00:07:30.600 I love that. It's so. 144 00:07:32.199 --> 00:07:34.279 Anyway, like I said, I could just gas you up 145 00:07:34.279 --> 00:07:36.240 and gas you up. So let's get to some meat. 146 00:07:36.720 --> 00:07:40.160 I saw an Instagram post several years ago, which is 147 00:07:40.199 --> 00:07:42.600 when I started to believe, Okay, there might be something here, 148 00:07:43.240 --> 00:07:46.519 and I saw that you had a post. I don't 149 00:07:46.519 --> 00:07:48.079 know if you still post about this kind of thing, 150 00:07:48.120 --> 00:07:50.759 but that you're you know, into UFOs and the paranormal 151 00:07:50.839 --> 00:07:52.680 and things of that nature. So I wanted to talk 152 00:07:52.680 --> 00:07:55.920 about that. Yeah, because as far as I know, in 153 00:07:55.959 --> 00:07:59.439 this voice acting space. There are many people who's vocal 154 00:07:59.480 --> 00:08:04.839 about that thing. As far as you know, spooky, weird things, 155 00:08:04.639 --> 00:08:06.519 it seems to be a lot of you know, just 156 00:08:06.680 --> 00:08:08.360 keeping it about what it is. 157 00:08:08.439 --> 00:08:08.639 You know. 158 00:08:09.360 --> 00:08:12.720 So, at what point in your life did you develop 159 00:08:12.759 --> 00:08:17.040 this deep fascination for the weird, paranormal, the UFO. Have 160 00:08:17.120 --> 00:08:19.319 you had any sort of experiences with this kind of thing, 161 00:08:19.720 --> 00:08:20.399 believe it or not. 162 00:08:20.600 --> 00:08:24.920 No, I never have, but it's always fascinated me. I'm 163 00:08:25.000 --> 00:08:26.759 gen X So I grew up in the in the 164 00:08:26.879 --> 00:08:31.360 seventies and there used to be that great show called 165 00:08:31.399 --> 00:08:35.799 In Search of hosted by Leonard Nimoy. He would cover 166 00:08:35.879 --> 00:08:39.519 different things one episode on Bigfoot or UFOs or ghost 167 00:08:39.759 --> 00:08:42.480 or you know, all these different things. And I was 168 00:08:42.559 --> 00:08:46.039 just fascinated by that. And then, you know, come along 169 00:08:46.120 --> 00:08:49.440 to like the nineties. I start listening to Art Bell 170 00:08:50.039 --> 00:08:53.320 Coast to Coast AM and I'm like, Wow, nightly, I 171 00:08:53.320 --> 00:08:55.679 can hear about this every night on the radio. This 172 00:08:55.799 --> 00:08:59.120 is awesome because I'm a night ol anyway, and just 173 00:08:59.200 --> 00:09:04.720 hearing the wide variety of people from all walks of life, 174 00:09:04.799 --> 00:09:09.120 whether they're in the military or the priesthood or you know, 175 00:09:09.200 --> 00:09:12.960 hearing stories about you know, Betty and Barney Hill or Edwin, 176 00:09:13.039 --> 00:09:16.399 Lorraine Warren and all that stuff. Regardless of whether things 177 00:09:16.399 --> 00:09:20.360 were debunked or not, it was still so fascinating to me. 178 00:09:20.720 --> 00:09:23.879 And yeah, I love that of a big horror buff. 179 00:09:23.960 --> 00:09:29.399 I love supernatural and horror movies of all kinds. And yeah, 180 00:09:29.480 --> 00:09:32.240 that stuff has fascinated me for years. Absolutely. 181 00:09:33.360 --> 00:09:38.039 Yeah, I know some people associated with some of those 182 00:09:38.039 --> 00:09:40.600 people like I don't know ed Lorraine Warren, but I 183 00:09:40.720 --> 00:09:43.559 know some of the people that made the movie about 184 00:09:43.600 --> 00:09:45.840 her life. So it's like it always seems like in 185 00:09:45.879 --> 00:09:48.919 this circle, there's one degree of separation from everybody. It's 186 00:09:48.960 --> 00:09:49.440 really weird. 187 00:09:49.799 --> 00:09:52.360 Well, if you've seen the Conjuring movies, you know that's 188 00:09:52.360 --> 00:09:56.039 based on them. Ye know Ed Lorraine, and you know 189 00:09:56.080 --> 00:09:58.639 they obviously changed a lot about them. They made them 190 00:09:58.679 --> 00:09:59.639 younger and prettier. 191 00:10:00.240 --> 00:10:04.559 You know, I actually had wan so the parent family, 192 00:10:04.600 --> 00:10:06.279 you know, I'm talking about like the the not the 193 00:10:06.399 --> 00:10:08.600 ed Loraine Warren, but then the family that the movie 194 00:10:08.600 --> 00:10:12.879 is based on, that the Conjuring, right, yeah, yeah, they're 195 00:10:12.919 --> 00:10:15.279 they're the Parent family and we've actually had one of 196 00:10:15.320 --> 00:10:19.080 their daughters on our show. Oh wow, okay, yeah, interesting, right, 197 00:10:19.159 --> 00:10:21.679 we kind of know some of the people that made 198 00:10:21.720 --> 00:10:23.840 the Conjuring movie, so we have that little connection there, 199 00:10:24.799 --> 00:10:26.840 Chad and Carry Hayes. They are these twin brothers who 200 00:10:26.879 --> 00:10:29.320 made they wrote the film. There in my dad's book, 201 00:10:29.360 --> 00:10:31.519 there's some stories there that we've kind of had some 202 00:10:31.559 --> 00:10:35.399 weird experiences with them. Oh wow, Yeah, always one weird 203 00:10:35.440 --> 00:10:36.879 little degree of separation here. 204 00:10:37.840 --> 00:10:43.120 Yeah. Yeah, whether it's your family members or having that 205 00:10:43.159 --> 00:10:46.159 connection to the film community or whatnot, that's got to 206 00:10:46.200 --> 00:10:48.279 be a unique sensation. That's kind of hard to put 207 00:10:48.279 --> 00:10:51.480 in words right right, it's like my worlds are colliding. 208 00:10:52.919 --> 00:10:53.879 Yeah, it is. 209 00:10:53.799 --> 00:10:54.360 A little weird. 210 00:10:54.399 --> 00:10:57.200 It is very strange how it seems like. I don't know, 211 00:10:57.360 --> 00:11:01.320 maybe it's because we've been doing this for a while now. 212 00:11:01.320 --> 00:11:03.759 It just feels like, oh, you know, you're always one 213 00:11:03.759 --> 00:11:06.960 degree of separation from anyone, like Art Bell, like you, 214 00:11:07.000 --> 00:11:10.320 I grew up listening to Art Bell. So I don't 215 00:11:10.320 --> 00:11:13.120 know if you've had time to look into any of 216 00:11:13.159 --> 00:11:14.879 our story or anything like that. I know you're a 217 00:11:14.960 --> 00:11:18.240 very busy guy. But this started happening almost twenty years ago, 218 00:11:19.000 --> 00:11:21.320 like what we've been dealing with, and when it started 219 00:11:21.320 --> 00:11:24.159 going on, I grew up listening to Art Bell, you know, 220 00:11:24.639 --> 00:11:25.720 like you, I'm like, wow, this. 221 00:11:25.679 --> 00:11:27.759 Is that radio host a radio show? 222 00:11:27.879 --> 00:11:29.759 Okay, yeah, yeah, iconic. 223 00:11:30.279 --> 00:11:32.679 Okay, it's like like Coast to Coast AM. 224 00:11:33.240 --> 00:11:36.679 Oh okay, so Art Bell was the host of Yes, 225 00:11:36.840 --> 00:11:38.679 I've heard of Coast to Coast AM. I mean that's 226 00:11:38.720 --> 00:11:42.000 like prolific. I've heard of that. Okay, So that's the host. 227 00:11:42.240 --> 00:11:45.159 Yeah, okay, nice. 228 00:11:45.200 --> 00:11:48.840 So then after the river incident, you and your dad 229 00:11:48.879 --> 00:11:49.759 started listening to. 230 00:11:49.720 --> 00:11:52.200 It, Yes, started listening to Art Bell. And as a kid, 231 00:11:52.440 --> 00:11:54.399 you know, just like was really fascinated by Art Bell. 232 00:11:54.759 --> 00:11:57.960 And then somehow or another, I found myself, you know, 233 00:11:58.080 --> 00:12:00.960 being friends with George Nori, which you know who that is. 234 00:12:00.960 --> 00:12:02.279 Right, he's the current host. 235 00:12:02.600 --> 00:12:05.519 Right, So it's it's weird, Like I guess if I 236 00:12:05.559 --> 00:12:07.559 had to phrase it in a different way, it's strange. 237 00:12:07.559 --> 00:12:09.840 How like you as a child, you know, you're into 238 00:12:10.679 --> 00:12:15.200 you say it was Mel Blank. Yeah forgive me, that's yeah, yeah, yeah, 239 00:12:15.200 --> 00:12:17.840 I knew the name, but that I didn't know the characters. 240 00:12:17.879 --> 00:12:19.799 But like you know, you're looking at Mel Blank. You're 241 00:12:19.840 --> 00:12:21.960 so fascinated by this. You want to be a voice actor, 242 00:12:21.960 --> 00:12:23.559 and it's this thought that's in your head and the 243 00:12:23.639 --> 00:12:24.840 next thing, you know, it's right in front of you 244 00:12:24.879 --> 00:12:28.519 and you're like, oh wow, this is real. You know, 245 00:12:28.799 --> 00:12:31.519 I have brought this into my sphere. It's very strange. 246 00:12:32.279 --> 00:12:34.679 So if you don't mind me asking, how old were 247 00:12:34.720 --> 00:12:37.799 you or at what point was it that you, like 248 00:12:37.879 --> 00:12:39.840 started what point in your life was it that you 249 00:12:39.879 --> 00:12:41.440 started voice acting? 250 00:12:42.480 --> 00:12:45.480 Well, I mean professionally, I would say it was during 251 00:12:45.519 --> 00:12:48.879 my radio career because at Radio Disney it was pretty 252 00:12:48.919 --> 00:12:51.759 much based on a lot of theater of the mind, 253 00:12:51.840 --> 00:12:52.840 like radio drama. 254 00:12:53.440 --> 00:12:53.960 Oh cool. 255 00:12:54.120 --> 00:12:57.519 I was writing radio dramas obviously aimed at kids and whatnot. 256 00:12:57.519 --> 00:13:01.639 I was a contributing producer. I helped create character voices 257 00:13:02.039 --> 00:13:04.919 for them. I didn't have an acting background like I didn't. 258 00:13:04.960 --> 00:13:06.960 I wasn't a theater kid or any of that. Because 259 00:13:06.960 --> 00:13:12.399 I'm actually really shy and introverted. Working in radio and 260 00:13:12.440 --> 00:13:15.879 doing the voice thing, I gained confidence. So suddenly I 261 00:13:15.960 --> 00:13:19.279 was able to you know, I had no problem doing 262 00:13:19.279 --> 00:13:23.080 public address stuff at panels or having you know, a 263 00:13:23.159 --> 00:13:25.279 tour group come through. Here's a bunch of boy Scouts 264 00:13:25.360 --> 00:13:27.759 or girl Scouts and we're gonna watch you dub this 265 00:13:27.919 --> 00:13:31.639 scene or whatever. It's like. Normally that would be like, oh, okay, 266 00:13:31.919 --> 00:13:34.759 this is awkward. But I saw it as a fun 267 00:13:34.799 --> 00:13:38.480 opportunity because people could have a chance to see what 268 00:13:38.559 --> 00:13:41.480 the process is and how much fun an actor can 269 00:13:41.519 --> 00:13:45.799 really have doing the process. You know, with anime, in particular, 270 00:13:46.039 --> 00:13:49.039 your animation is on the screen, your scripts in front 271 00:13:49.080 --> 00:13:51.960 of you. Nowadays it's on its own screen, the script, 272 00:13:52.639 --> 00:13:55.679 and you're watching and previewing each line in Japanese and 273 00:13:55.720 --> 00:13:58.720 doing all that. That part I didn't know about for decades. 274 00:13:58.799 --> 00:14:02.080 I wasn't sure how anime was dubbed into English. I 275 00:14:02.159 --> 00:14:05.120 knew about the cartoon process, which is where you have 276 00:14:05.240 --> 00:14:08.159 the whole cast together. That's what I was looking forward to. 277 00:14:08.279 --> 00:14:10.200 I wanted to have. I wanted to be able to 278 00:14:10.240 --> 00:14:12.559 sit in the same room as the other actors. Everyone 279 00:14:12.600 --> 00:14:14.960 has their own mic, a music stand with the script 280 00:14:15.080 --> 00:14:17.559 and they do it radio play style, just seen by 281 00:14:17.639 --> 00:14:20.879 some and you can you can play off each other's performance, 282 00:14:20.919 --> 00:14:22.720 and you can watch them all screw up so not 283 00:14:22.799 --> 00:14:26.120 be so self conscious when you screw up and all 284 00:14:26.200 --> 00:14:26.879 that stuff. 285 00:14:27.360 --> 00:14:29.080 Did you get a Have you gotten a chance to 286 00:14:29.360 --> 00:14:29.960 work like that? 287 00:14:31.080 --> 00:14:34.840 I have a few times, I guess. The biggest high 288 00:14:35.000 --> 00:14:38.279 profile thing was back on Disney x D Avengers, Earth's 289 00:14:38.320 --> 00:14:42.720 mightiest heroes. I got to be Super Scroll. 290 00:14:42.919 --> 00:14:46.159 Whoa, yeah, that's awesome. 291 00:14:46.399 --> 00:14:49.799 He didn't really talk. He's just more like Space Hulk basically. 292 00:14:51.399 --> 00:14:53.720 And then some bit Park characters on the episode too. 293 00:14:53.759 --> 00:14:55.799 But I got to be in the same room as 294 00:14:55.840 --> 00:14:58.840 the cast. Not all of them were there, some had 295 00:14:58.879 --> 00:15:02.399 already recorded. It's like, there's the voice actor for Iron Man, 296 00:15:02.440 --> 00:15:05.440 and there's the voice sector for Captain America, and here's 297 00:15:05.600 --> 00:15:10.000 eg Daily. Eg Daily I knew from Powerpuff Girls. And 298 00:15:10.200 --> 00:15:15.360 she was also Dotty on Pee Wee Herman's first movie, 299 00:15:15.399 --> 00:15:19.000 Pee Wee's Big Adventure. She goes Way, she goes way 300 00:15:19.000 --> 00:15:22.919 back then. So she has been doing on camera and voiceover, 301 00:15:23.360 --> 00:15:26.840 and after I did my scene, she just quietly leans 302 00:15:26.879 --> 00:15:27.200 over and. 303 00:15:27.159 --> 00:15:28.039 Goes, god, job. 304 00:15:28.840 --> 00:15:32.759 Oh yeah.

You know, 353 00:18:04.559 --> 00:18:07.759 You're not get discovered as my dad thought. It's like, oh, 354 00:18:07.880 --> 00:18:10.079 just walking to the office at William Morris and work 355 00:18:10.079 --> 00:18:12.599 in the mailroom, and it's like, that's not how it works. 356 00:18:12.720 --> 00:18:15.759 Work your way up, work your way off. It's like, 357 00:18:16.079 --> 00:18:19.240 and everybody's story is unique. So people who think if 358 00:18:19.240 --> 00:18:21.640 they take all the voice acting classes in the world 359 00:18:21.680 --> 00:18:24.680 and they do exactly and they have the perfect demo 360 00:18:24.720 --> 00:18:26.559 and the perfect recording set up and all that, that 361 00:18:26.680 --> 00:18:30.039 suddenly everything just falls into place, And sadly it doesn't. 362 00:18:30.079 --> 00:18:33.240 There's there there. There is a huge percentage of luck 363 00:18:33.480 --> 00:18:37.880 versus talent versus networking and all that stuff and stuff 364 00:18:37.880 --> 00:18:41.640 that I didn't really know much going into until I 365 00:18:41.720 --> 00:18:43.319 was already in the throes of it. It's like, oh 366 00:18:43.400 --> 00:18:45.880 my gosh, okay, I got to make ends meet, I 367 00:18:45.920 --> 00:18:48.440 got to have some income and actually pay the rent. 368 00:18:48.480 --> 00:18:50.920 I went into a massive credit card debt, and I'm like, 369 00:18:51.000 --> 00:18:54.240 oh my gosh. It took ten years to become an 370 00:18:54.279 --> 00:18:57.680 overnight sensation in La but I within a few months 371 00:18:58.000 --> 00:19:01.000 thanks to Steve Bloom, a legendary voice actor who hadn't 372 00:19:01.000 --> 00:19:03.039 met at a convention as a fellow guest the year 373 00:19:03.079 --> 00:19:06.920 before Nice he introduced me to his agent, Arlene Thornton, 374 00:19:06.920 --> 00:19:09.519 and she's now my agent, and we've been on the 375 00:19:09.559 --> 00:19:13.759 same talent roster at her agency. He was there long 376 00:19:13.799 --> 00:19:15.680 before I was. He's been doing it longer than me. 377 00:19:16.400 --> 00:19:19.759 But I got onto Naruto because of him. Keeba. 378 00:19:22.039 --> 00:19:24.960 Oh yeah, let's go a come on ru peg over Fang. 379 00:19:26.440 --> 00:19:30.319 That's awesome. By the way, total weird synchronousy. Didn't you 380 00:19:30.359 --> 00:19:31.039 just buy that shirt? 381 00:19:31.440 --> 00:19:31.920 Yeah? 382 00:19:32.079 --> 00:19:34.200 You know the character on the back of your shirt 383 00:19:34.279 --> 00:19:35.839 is Steve Bloom right his voice. 384 00:19:36.000 --> 00:19:38.920 Oh no, I didn't even think about that. I mean 385 00:19:39.119 --> 00:19:40.680 Cowboy Bebo in the back of my shirt. 386 00:19:40.720 --> 00:19:43.720 Yes, Spike from Cowboy, But that was brand new shirt. 387 00:19:43.720 --> 00:19:44.680 He just got it the other day. 388 00:19:44.799 --> 00:19:45.079 Dude. 389 00:19:45.240 --> 00:19:47.920 That's cool. Yeah, that is a crazy synchronicity. 390 00:19:48.400 --> 00:19:50.799 Yeah. You know, something that's been on my mind lately 391 00:19:51.319 --> 00:19:55.480 is because I, you know, have been mentally thinking about 392 00:19:55.519 --> 00:19:57.359 this coming up, knowing that we were going to be 393 00:19:57.400 --> 00:20:01.599 having this talk. Sure, I've been especially curious, and I 394 00:20:01.599 --> 00:20:04.319 think you're the most like probably qualified person in the 395 00:20:04.359 --> 00:20:06.240 world to ask this, or at least the most qualified 396 00:20:06.359 --> 00:20:12.000 person around at the moment in my environment. But is 397 00:20:12.039 --> 00:20:16.359 there any like similar level of satisfaction to also voicing 398 00:20:16.400 --> 00:20:20.599 those roles that aren't on that icon level, like the thug, 399 00:20:20.759 --> 00:20:22.880 you know what I mean? Does it Is there that 400 00:20:22.960 --> 00:20:24.279 same level of satisfaction? 401 00:20:24.759 --> 00:20:28.240
