Speaker 1: Hello, Hello, and good morning. How are you doing, Arrow
doing great? How are you.
Speaker 2: Absolutely excited to talk with you guys? And I'm almost
afraid to talk. And the reason why is because there
are so many videos out there right now on YouTube
that are already describing the new season and the special
that's coming up on Thanksgiving, So it's like, oh, I
don't want to be one of those spoilers.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we'll try to keep it spoiler free.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll do our best.
Speaker 2: I'm can you believe how big this has become?
Speaker 3: I mean, wow, I'm I'm in awe, Like it's crazy
that ten years on we are sitting here doing this.
I never would have thought. And I knew it was
going to be big because I have always been since
I first saw like the little teaser and the pilot,
I knew it was going to be a big show.
But it's just been incredible how how much it keeps
on growing. If it's such a crazy blessing and such
a crazy the odds of this happening were insane, so
very happy.
Speaker 2: It really takes us into an area where I swear
that every generation can relate with this show because every
episode there's a piece of us inside of this story.
Speaker 1: Yes, agreed. I love going to conventions and meeting folks
that have seen the shows, especially families that watch together.
And it's so fun to meet the kids and see
their excitement. But it's the parents that sometimes are even
more excited to talk to us because they're like, finally
we found a show that we love also, and it's
just great that the whole family can watch.
Speaker 2: The animation itself is so spectacular. It's not the typical animation.
It's like you have your own brand and image every
single time there's an episode.
Speaker 3: Yes, the animators have been incredible, and actually for the
new season we're getting brand new animation. The character designs
are a little different and it looks beautiful.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the world around the characters or is really incredible.
I was able to take my family to Paris last
year and got a little behind the scenes tour of
the animation studio. I was watching them recreate Paris from scratch,
and it's so incredible how true to life the imagery
is in the buildings and the backgrounds, like they're just
the characters are living in such a beautiful world that
really brings the show to life.
Speaker 2: I love that the fact that you guys are doing
this saying for Thanksgiving with the miraculous world London at
the edge of time. I mean this right here, this
is and you talking about it so early gives us
the opportunity to get really excited about something.
Speaker 3: Yes, it's a really beautiful episode. So much happens. It
bridges season five and season six, and there's a lot
of unexpected drama and twists and turns and watching the
characters deal with the consequences from that crazy season five finale.
Speaker 1: Yeah. And if you're hearing this now and you never
watched the show, you still have time to binge all
five seasons. All yeah, get caught up and be ready
to go into season six, which could be the best
season yet. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Modern day technology allows us to do that. And that's
what I love about Disney Plus is the fact that
they are right there for their fans and it just
continues to grow.
Speaker 1: Yes, agreed.
Speaker 2: How do you react to the merchandising and the toys
and the costumes. I mean, I mean it all starts
with you two. I mean it's like, how does it
grow from there and become such a world thing?
Speaker 3: Oh man?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it's so fun to see and meet
people that bring all of their toys and come and
cosplay to the convention, so you really see that our
work has resonated with them. That's my favorite thing.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and just watching kids in costumes, like not even
just on Halloween, all year round. I see so many cosplayers.
All the dolls that have come out are incredible. I
just a friend gifted me the ice Eiffel Tower place.
It's pretty remarkable to see. I'm not sure I've been
a character in my career that has this much merch.
Speaker 2: The facial expressions and the emotions that go into it.
I just envision you guys are standing in front of
a green screen and it's measuring everything that you guys
would do in real life. Because I mean, you guys
capture emotions so well with this.
Speaker 1: Well, thank you. I think that's a huge compliment for
voice actors. They're actually not capturing our faces in our reactions,
but we're adjusting our voices in the moment without ever
seeing a script before we get into the studio and
just trying to give real emotion through the microphone. So
you know, our intention is that that comes through and
if you're seeing it in that way, if it feels real,
then I think we're doing a good job.
Speaker 3: In a lot of ways. I feel like the animators
are the unsung hero of a lot of animation because
they went and they crafted that so that we could
perform to it, and we're just the lucky ones to
get to come in at the end and bring the
characters given the final breath of life.
Speaker 1: Exactly.
Speaker 2: There's a big call right now for voice actors to
be included in the Academy Awards. You guys have got
to be on that same team.
Speaker 1: Oh, definitely, that would be absolutely incredible to see that
sort of recognition. Yes, we can only hope.
Speaker 3: We can only hope voice actors and stunt people, let's
get them on the Academy Awards.
Speaker 2: Definitely, You guys are still real when it comes to
the presentation of entertainment because AI technology can't take over
human emotion.
Speaker 1: Exactly. Yeah, we bring a lot of history and our
own selves into the booth and just pour it into
the mic. I don't think that you can capture that
history and that background and all of those things that
are real about the actors that are part of these shows,
for sure.
Speaker 2: How do you guys preserve your voices because I mean,
I mean, you know what it's like, even just having
a conversation with somebody in America. You know that your
voice is always you know on that line.
Speaker 3: Oh man, I'm going to be honest with you. I
don't do much and I use it a lot, So
knock on wood. I just drink a lot of water, don't.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I can't really tell you how I preserve my
voice because I scream all the time. Miraculous isn't the
only series that we're working on at the moment. Usually
you're jumping between show and show and booth and booth
and character and character. So a lot of my characters
tend to scream and yeah, I just love it.
Speaker 3: And conventions on the weekends.
Speaker 1: Yeah, screaming at people too.
Speaker 3: That's a lot of water, A lot of water.
Speaker 2: Where can people go to find out more about Miraculous?
Speaker 3: You can go to Oh you could follow the official
Miraculous accounts on Instagram that I always have the latest
news even before we do. The first five seasons are
streaming on Disney plus season six coming soon. There is
the movie that's exclusively on Netflix, the full length feature.
