Charlie In Cantor, Rel Mardi is out in the cinemons today.
It's like in Cantor the Disney version, you know, but
better have a listen. Oh sheesh, and that beautiful voice
(00:27):
you can hear joins us right now. They're way Maddy
and a thay Callahan called Atahi and also playing ubuela
Hina Tu dell no my highting my car to Withahi
welcome guy shoes. So they're way Maddie. Now we are.
We are a little bit related. And you're not supposed
to talk up your own relations, but I am no
on doing. I say it to your mom last night,
(00:50):
why is she such a good singer? And she said, well,
she was born that way. But also you went to
Saint Joseph's Mighty Girls School. Is that part of how
you were sort of trained to be such a beautiful singer?
Speaker 1 (01:00):
Definitely with miss kingy oh yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
If you know, you know, can ned to bear out
then the fauc or How was this experience for you
being in the Cantor El Maudi.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
I thoroughly enjoyed it. I thoroughly enjoyed the challenges that
were placed in front of me. It was a new
experience for me. But we're talking about the reel now,
so it is about pushing the rail to spaces that
it needs to be in.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
Yeah, and what are your observations of that of seeing
the El Maudi in this Disney space and how do
then they eat the ojulaque? No doubt you've seen what
an impact it has. How would you describe that?
Speaker 3 (01:44):
It's very humbling. I mean, I was born in the
nineteen forty eight, so I've seen a losh in terms
of how the language has developed. So my first thirty
years there was nothing. There was nothing, so lots of
(02:06):
pockets of faro hpo. We're working in isolation to maintain
the real mail, not tikanga. But today now you can
walk down Queen Street and you can hear the real
But that wasn't happening when I was living in Auckland
in the nineteen sixties. There was no real, absolutely nothing.
(02:29):
But today it's different. You can go anywhere now and
you'll hear the real.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
What a time to be alive, What a time.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
That's why I'm enjoying every minute of it. Because I've
seen it at its worse and I now see it
in its growing processes. It's developed and it's gone throughout
the world now. SoJ Disney, Moina it took my copaper, yeah,
(03:05):
because it does have that that Disney impact, doesn't That
the fifth Disney we've seen, and that is just insane
and a good way. I say, every every single Disney
movie should should go this way.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
Absolutely. See the thing is now Disney, the United States,
the whole world is actually looking into New Zealand. Now.
Speaker 4 (03:27):
So you guys have started like the whole al with Disney.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
What's next? You know, like what that is?
Speaker 3 (03:34):
I think anything else possible now.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
But we need to have you leading the way still far.
And so you, as Abuela, can you relate to the
character She's She's an incredible character.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
Absolutely. I mean it's it's rampant in our our our tribes,
in our Hapu, in our faro. The models that we
saw in Encanto is what you will see in an ordinary,
every day Malifano. The importance of keeping the families together,
(04:17):
irrespective of the dangers that are around them. One still
tries to keep them together.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
And that's what Abuela does as well, and so then
we hear the morecop the way Maddie. So you're also
acting in this? Is this a new thing for you
in terms of voice acting?
Speaker 1 (04:43):
Oh? Definitely, definitely. It's yeah, being a part of this
whole incanto or copopa. Yeah, new experiences and just being
a part of, you know, this whole Faro. Tell Madrico
you know.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
So you just auditioned, and how did you feel when
you gave it that fish shot?
Speaker 3 (05:02):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Man, I honestly didn't think anything of it. A so
I see in my audition even I got the carry back.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
You're in.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
No pressure.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
Listen to how fast the way many sings in this
past just like me to bell in the English version,
but listen to it in Maudi. Wait for it.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
It gets faster.
Speaker 4 (05:28):
Oh my god, I'm ba and I've got nothing to
(05:50):
do with it.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
Tell me about how many takes?
Speaker 4 (05:52):
How many takes?
Speaker 1 (05:54):
Oh maybe a good oh well, because I think we's
been like ten minutes just going over and over the
line and the boom just chuck me in the booth.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
Ends absolutely insane, insane.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
No, this is talent And I'm just gonna say, make
Koway accorded or Kumra Angerica called it or Kumra because
this is incredible, Like just seeing how you work at
the harmonies, pity literally goes okay, you guys, maybe something
up here there there little direction. Everyone just goes for it.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
Right.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
What was that experience like for you just seeing all
of these beautiful chorus singers.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
Oh, it was so beautiful, And I think it's pretty
much like, yeah, you know, you're just like at a normal
you get splenty of your parts in them. So yeah,
it was pretty natural.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
But we're also harsh on each other. You're flat.
Speaker 4 (06:48):
Yeah, I love those sessions.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
I've cetain sessions where it's like, you know, because you
just want the best out of you know, out of
each other.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
And we you got someone like Peter, He's he's brutally honest.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
If you suck your well, what I can tell you
about in contol Maria, it does not suck. Is absolutely amazing,
and so I fai needs to How would you know
if we think about going to the movies, that is
important that we turn up and we to talk or
really physically and we go without kuda, because that's how
we impact the status of that Almari. Would you agree
(07:21):
with that?
Speaker 3 (07:21):
Absolutely? Definitely agree with that. I had a lot of
my macho punna come up, and maybe for some of
them it is the first time they've been in Auckland,
so it's the same thing in terms of life. It's
pushing them into spaces that they don't normally see themselves,
(07:42):
and it's giving them the confidence. Whether Kate Chicken the hear,
whether they do the actions wrong or whatever, it doesn't
really matter. It's the space that they're in that moment
in time. That's what they're going to remember in another
five teen years down the road.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
That's a nice way to look at what you've just experienced.
Their way, Madi, how would you how will you look
back at this experience of being media better?
Speaker 1 (08:10):
Oh honestly it's so cool. Well more kune because I
went to Saint Joe's the perfectionist trait here, so even
being met about you know, I just had miss KINGI
always at the back of my those notes crack it
(08:31):
if you know your name and addie. But when I
look back to this or ten years time, hopefully when
I have to, then you know, ariil maori being heard
and yeah, I can't believe it's.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
