Hi Christy, Hi Will, We're here. We're here at the finals.
Can you believe it?

Speaker 2 (00:05):
I can.

Speaker 3 (00:06):
We've worked hard to get here, and folks that have
been listening, you guys are the reason why we've done this.
We love you guys so much. Thank you for coming
all this way.

Speaker 1 (00:17):
I'm so excited. I mean seriously, from the time you
and I talked about doing this to the forty five
hundred or so entries we got to getting down to
our sixteen to sixteen to the eight to the I
mean just and that's just a contest alone. I'm not
even talking about the rest of the show, just the
contest alone. It has been so awesome to go through
this process.

Speaker 3 (00:37):
It has It's been a wild ride. I remember our
live shows that we used to do. Do you remembers,
And I mean, honestly, I think that even when we
do panels together in the future, there will always be
a part of I hear voices that travels with us,
don't you think?

Speaker 1 (00:54):
I think so too, And I think we might our
in our future panels have to play the way that
we did last time with all right, let's let's get it.
Let's get a screen up there. Let's see what we
can do and all that good kind of stuff. Shout
out to Joe Woes who would write with us. Remember
who do who draw for us?

Speaker 3 (01:09):
Yeah, he did a great job and also great I
think that on our social media there's been some really
great animations being drawn by our team at iHeart, and
I wanted to shout out because usually Will does this,
but I wanted to be the one to do it
because I'm stepping off for some of this episode. So
I want to thank CEESD. They're an amazing agency to

(01:32):
you know, give us this opportunity and paying it forward
for someone else. I mean, it's just such a wonderful community.
Thank you CESD. Prime Video obviously your epic and we
love you very much. Vox Mochina season two. Check it
out please, not just because Will is in it, yes,
but because it is amazing and all of our other

(01:55):
friends at Critical roller on it as well. Of course
our team at iHeart, whether it was our various producers
and our editors and our social team, like everyone has
been so committed to see this through and we are
very grateful, I know, from the bottom of our heart
for all that support that you gave Will and me.

(02:15):
Thank you for letting me come on your network, and
the contestants have truly truly touched my heart. I see
them posting like a lot about Hey, you know this
was me. I've done this contest, I survived this experience,
and I'm so proud of you guys. You've really almost

(02:36):
made me fall in love with voice acting on a
whole other level. And I owe that to you guys,
with whatever I end up taking forward in my career,
whether that's you know, maybe someday, someday a reboot of
something that Will.

Speaker 1 (02:53):
And I were a part of.

Speaker 3 (02:55):
Afraid of Someone, But regardless, whatever it is, it's so
beautiful to see uh new talent and to be a
part of that. And also just the fans you guys,
thank you, thank you for your time, your time. And
there's so much content out there. You know, you've got
these amazing pod pod meets World come.

Speaker 1 (03:15):
On down, and you've got all your podcasts, I mean,
come on, there's too many to mention. I know, I mean,
Vulnerable and everything. I mean, it's jeez, you your whole
podco is just killing it.

Speaker 3 (03:24):
Thank you, And so it's just there's a lot of
content out there, so for you to take the time
to listen to I hear voices and to make it
this far. You have a special place in our hearts.
So make sure you tell us when you when you
see us, either at a con or something, and we'll
give you an extra big hug.

Speaker 1 (03:41):
Absolutely, and we are just yet. We're so happy to
be here and to be able to do this with
everybody and share it with everybody, and selfishly, this has
been so much fun for me to just watch the
contestants week after week. Everybody's so good. It gets harder
every week. And you know, all of our incredible judges
that have decaturs oh yeah, that have come on to

(04:02):
help us out have been absolutely incredible.

Speaker 3 (04:05):
Honestly, it was like Avengers Assemble when it came to
Will having his friends come. And today will be no
different with who we have lined up to be our
final adjudicator team.

Speaker 1 (04:19):
Yeah, we got a team. We're going to have an
adjudicator team to help us with the finals, which is
so cool. And of course, as we said, we are
actually full disclosure recording this intro before the actual contest
takes place because Christy is not going to be able
to be with us for the actual show. Itself, but
there was no way we were going to do this
without her. We just could not possibly ever make that happen. Well,

(04:43):
it just wasn't gonna happen. Never, never, never.

Speaker 3 (04:45):
I feel like I intimately know our voices that are
going head to head today, and both of them are fantastic,
ye Hannabama and Mia are just the most amazing ladies.
And I think both of them are going to hit
it out of the park one way or another. So
it's going to be a pretty fierce episode. This should

(05:08):
be really cool. I want you to call me or
text me or call me, beat me if you want
to reach me, Well, to let me know who wins, okay,
because I will definitely reach out to that person. We
can do something and just like I don't know to
both of.

Speaker 1 (05:24):
Them really well, don't forget, by the way, that the
winner is going to not only get to sign with CESD,
not only get one thousand dollars and flown out to
LA but we'll be having lunch with us, oh yeah,
which is awesome. So we'll get a chance to see them.
And then they go and meet Sam Regal and or
Mary McGlynn for a directing session which is going to
be very cool too, so it's going to be a

(05:45):
ton of fun. But and here's the thing, and this
is one hundred percent genuine. I have no idea who's
going to win. I have no idea. I don't know.
I just don't know. We've got two incredible contestants. Anybody
could have an amazing day. Anybody could have an off day.
You know, nerves can get to some people. You never know,
equipment problems, you just don't know. It is anybody's game,

(06:09):
and I'm super excited.

Speaker 3 (06:10):
I really am awesome. Well, thank you for you know,
being my partner in this.

Speaker 1 (06:18):
Yes, partner in crime. You know that forever I got
your back.

Speaker 3 (06:21):
I love that I've brought you're back too. So let's
just give it up to this episode. This is Christie's
signing off, but I leave you in good hands. Friends.

Speaker 1 (06:32):
So there it is. Oh, I'm so sorry Christy's not
actually here for the actual contest day. She so wanted
to be. Let me tell you everybody out there, she
really really wanted to be. But with the way, you know,
life gets crazy and you can't always control what's going on.
So that does not change the fact that we are
here at the finals. We've made it from forty five

(06:54):
hundred down to two, and of course we need the
best adjudicate tours. That's a shout out to Christy. The
best judges we could possibly find for the last episode,
and we needed more than one. So I'm going to
introduce these people one at a time and then we'll
bring them in because it is a big day today.
But before we get there very quickly, I know Christy

(07:15):
thanked everybody in the opening, but I want to just
add my own kudos to everybody who helped us out,
from our producer Lorrain and our engineer Brian and iHeart
and CESD Prime Video, everybody Christy mentioned, everybody over there
a critical role. This has just been an absolute joy
and so much fun. So this is going to be
a great day that is going to end with giving

(07:38):
somebody a start in the entertainment industry in the voiceover world,
which I could not be more excited about. This is
really quite awesome and emotional and something that I've wanted
to do for a very very long time. So that
being said, before I get too sappy, which is certainly possible,
I want to introduce our guest judges for the day.
We heard her last week and we could not not

(07:58):
to not have a double negative. Wow, that's like three
knots in a row. Have her back because she is
so incredible and is going to be helping to once
again direct our young actors on their journey. Andrea Romano
will be joining us again today. And also with Andrea Romano,
we have one of the most celebrated voice over actors,
friend of the podcast, been here before. One of the

(08:18):
coolest guys in the world. Rob Paulson is also going
to be joining us, and we are going to get
into it because we have Hannabama and Mia from Florida
coming back together to fight it out. Ooh, it is
going to be great. I cannot wait. Let's get into it.

Speaker 1 (09:03):

so I just assumed how Yes, Rob Paulson and Andrea Ramano,
thank you so much both of you for joining us

the next Big Voice Actor.

Speaker 6 (09:24):
It's here, huge project you undertook here and I'm delighted
to be a part of it.

Speaker 2 (09:29):
Thank you for letting me know play at all.

Speaker 5 (09:32):
How are you working on this? Will?

Speaker 6 (09:35):
Uh?

Speaker 5 (09:36):
Do you like what? Six months ago?

Speaker 1 (09:39):
Yeah, it's been it's been a while. So this is
We went from forty five hundred entries to down to
today the final two forty five one hundred people.

Speaker 2 (09:49):
Then we auditioned for animaniacs.

Speaker 1 (09:52):
And we listened to all of them. We listened to
everybody's audition, and we got it down to the final sixteen.
We've been saying for the beginning, and very quick shout
outs to Julia from Virginia, Dylan from Louisiana, Hayden from Washington,
Danielle from Tennessee, Matthew from Delaware, Dowd from Illinois but
pronounced David, Mike from Florida, Tatiana from California, Adam from Illinois,

(10:15):
I Lean from North Carolina, all Win from Florida, Paul
from Pennsylvania, Hailey from Texas, and Austin from Virginia. Our
final fourteen that did not They made it so far
from forty five hundred to the final sixteen.

Speaker 2 (10:28):
They should take pride in having.

Speaker 1 (10:30):
Achieved that level, right, they were great, Be proud and
for Andrea to give you guys kudos, that's a big
pardon me deal. Oh no, I know, believe me. I
know this too. And I went to her on bended
knee and I said, I know you are so enjoying
your retirement, but would you please come and direct some young.

Speaker 5 (10:51):
Actors get the chance?

Speaker 1 (10:52):
Jumped? She did not even think about it. That's one
thing I would like to shout out before we get
into our actual game, and I will explain our game
to everybody. The the finals are going to be a
little bit different and a little bit crazy, but the
voiceover community is one of the most loving, giving, inclusive, talented.
Mark you picked the superlative and it fits into our

(11:14):
community and it could not have shown more than with
this show and this contest. Every person. I don't think
we got to know there are some people who couldn't
do it due to scheduling, but nobody said I don't
want to be involved? What are you doing giving other
actors a chance? It was all this is amazing, what
a wonderful idea. How can I help? What do you

(11:35):
need from me? It is the most wonderful community I've
ever been associated with, and I'm honored every day to
even slightly consider myself a voiceover actor because the men
and women that I work with are so much better
than me.

Speaker 2 (11:48):
But it's I want to say, credit A lot of
the reason too.

Speaker 6 (11:51):
You have to credit, and you may not do this,
but one must credit. Why so many people said yes
was because of Wilfredell.

Speaker 5 (12:02):
You are a delight.

Speaker 1 (12:03):
It is a wonderful business to be in with incredible people,
and now we're going to get a new person joining
our ranks. So the Super Awesome Contest we are down
to Mia from Florida and Hannah from Alabama, and what
we're actually going to be doing today is putting it
all together. So the first round we did was a
round called by the Numbers, where everybody, by random number pick,

(12:26):
got to have a character determined for them and then
read a preset number of lines. The second round we
did was called Extra Extra read all about it, and
it was all about adreads. The third round, of course,
which Andrea helped us direct, was actually called get into
the booth, and you got in there and recorded an
actual session the way that we would have done in
the booth. Now we're going to put them all together.

(12:49):
So in round one, what we were going to be
doing is the same way we did last round. We
are going to be recording. I am going to be
recording with the contestant, and we are Andrea is going
to direct us as if we were in a booth.
After the first round, they have to jump immediately with
no break into reading the ad read. Then we are

(13:10):
going to switch characters. The difference this time is before
they get to read their second character, we will once
again be playing by the numbers, and Andrea and Rob
will pick random numbers which will determine how they will
read the character the second time around. So it's going
to get crazy. We're putting it all together. We're putting
them through their paces. Nobody said we were going to

(13:32):
make this easy, but we are going to pick I'm
not going to say the best because they're both phenomenal contestants.
And with that being said, why don't we bring them
in one at a time, say hello, tell them what
they're going to be doing, and then we will start
our fun game. So I think was Mia first? I
believe Mia was first. Hell and there's Mia. Welcome back, Mia,

(13:58):
congratulations on making it to the finals. Andrea Ramana will
once again be directing you and our guest actor judge
this week is the amazing Redoubtable, which is one of
my favorite words ever. Rob Paulson, who will be joining
us to meet you.

Speaker 5 (14:14):
Oh, it's my great pleasure. What a beautiful face you have.
Don't be such a stick in the mud.

Speaker 1 (14:25):
Sure, well you were first, so we will be back
to you. But we are just going to come and
say hello to you. We're now going to say hello
to your Your fellow contestant is down to the final two,
so we will see what happens. We will be back
with you in a second. Mia, Thanks so much. It's
great seeing you again.

Speaker 5 (14:38):
Oh my goodness, she's precious, isn't she great?

Speaker 1 (14:40):
And as is Hannah from Alabama? Hannahbama, who she's been called?

Speaker 5 (14:45):
There she is?

Speaker 3 (14:46):
Helloabama?

Speaker 1 (14:48):
How are you? I'm doing well? How are y'all doing good?
How are you feeling today?

Speaker 5 (14:54):
You know?

Speaker 7 (14:54):
I'm here.

Speaker 1 (14:57):
You feeling good, I'm I'm feeling something. I know. That's great.
Channel the energy, use it right.

Speaker 2 (15:04):
Have fun, have fun, that's the most important.

Speaker 1 (15:06):
Yes, no matter what happens today, you are in the
final two out of forty five hundred insane. So congratulations.
Your fellow contestant was here first, so we will be
starting with them, but we will be back to you
in a second. You have your script? Do you have everything?

Speaker 8 (15:24):
I have everything?

Speaker 1 (15:25):
All right, we'll see it a bit. Thank you so much. Okay,
all right, everybody, here we go. It is on the finals.
After we have been here. Let's bring Mia back in

(15:46):
and we are going to start with our scene. Here
we go, Mia, So let me explain a little bit
about what we're gonna do today. I'm gonna be reading
with you, and we're gonna do it exactly like we
did last time. We're gonna read it just like we
do in the booth. We are not going to be
reading any of the stage directions. So for everybody listening
out there, we will of course, as we always have.
Our amazing producer of the Rain puts up the scripts

(16:08):
for everybody on Instagram so you can read along and
find out what's going on, but to just kind of
give everybody a quick little breakdown so you know what's
going on. We are going to be starting in a
candy factory. It is the candy factory at night. We
push in on a giant barrel that says rejects candy
for destruction, and two different pieces of candy are going
to come up and have a little scene and a conversation.

(16:28):
So other than that, we are not going to give
any more direction the first time around. Here's the other
thing that is going to differ from the last time.
When we are finished with the scene without any break,
without anything, I mean, you can take a breath, obviously,
but you are going to go right into the commercial read.
So you're going to finish your scene and then essentially

(16:50):
imagine that you are watching a cartoon and we go
right to a commercial and you are also the voiceover
actor reading for the commercial. So we won't give you
We're not gonna give you any notes to start with.
We are just gonna jump in and go from there.
You will be playing Sammy and I will be playing Albert. Oh,
So here we go, Andrea on your cue.

Speaker 6 (17:12):
Please, we are at the top of the script ready
and we're rolling.

Speaker 1 (17:19):
The coast is clear?

Speaker 9 (17:21):
Keep your voice down? Do you want to get us caught?

Speaker 10 (17:25):
Sorry, yelling is the opposite of keeping your voice down.

Speaker 11 (17:29):
Oh, opposite means chocolate flavored?

Speaker 1 (17:33):
No, it doesn't.

Speaker 9 (17:35):
I've told you that one hundred times, have you.

Speaker 1 (17:38):
I don't remember that? Oh wait, yeah, nope, nope, still
don't remember. Sorry. Hey, Sammy, why are we escaping again?

Speaker 10 (17:49):
Because for some crazy reason, we are relegated to the
reject pile and if we don't get out of here,
they're going to melt us down.

Speaker 1 (17:57):
Oh that sounds bad.

Speaker 11 (17:59):
It's bad, right, Yes, Albert, it's bad.

Speaker 1 (18:04):
Huh. Hey, am I as good an escaper as you?

Speaker 10 (18:08):
Well, seeing as we haven't actually escaped yet, I'm thinking no.

Speaker 1 (18:14):
Oh yeah, I keep forgetting that you have to escape
first to actually be a good escaper. Am I always
forgetting stuff like this because my head got smushed.

Speaker 7 (18:22):
Hm.

Speaker 9 (18:23):
I'm guessing that's only a small part of it.

Speaker 1 (18:26):
Now, why are you in the bad bind, Sammy? You're
so pretty?

Speaker 9 (18:30):
H I am Albert.

Speaker 10 (18:32):
I am the prettiest fish that this factory has ever made,
the prettiest.

Speaker 9 (18:36):
Fish that has ever been made.

Speaker 10 (18:38):
But none of that matters. When the world you were
caught Pardon.

Speaker 9 (18:44):
I am Albert.

Speaker 10 (18:46):
the prettiest fish that has ever been made. But none
of that matters when the world you were brought into
is a cesspool of awfulness, covered and even more awfulness,
and then dipped and nuts that have been sprayed with.

Speaker 9 (19:02):
Spread girls, no more awfulness?

Speaker 1 (19:06):
Well, then, why are you in the bin?

Speaker 10 (19:08):
I ever heard some of the workers talking. Apparently something
went wrong with my recipe. Oh no, yeah, I'm two
sour stupid jerks.

Speaker 1 (19:20):
I don't think that's true. Sammy, you're a little sour.

Speaker 7 (19:26):
It's because of this place.

Speaker 10 (19:28):
You Just wait until I get out of here. I'm
gonna be the sweetest fish that you've ever met.

Speaker 1 (19:32):
Why would you be sweetish?

Speaker 11 (19:34):
Sweetest fist?

Speaker 9 (19:36):
Not sweetish? Are you trying to get us sued?

Speaker 1 (19:39):
Oh? Sorry? So well, what do we do next?

Speaker 10 (19:43):
First we have to get down from this bin. Next
we have to make it across the factory floor. Then
we have to open that big door by dead loading dock,
and lastly we have to make our way to the city,
where we'll find jobs and a studio apartment.

Speaker 9 (19:57):
I'm Okay, if the closet is not big, but I'm
going to have to insist on a.

Speaker 7 (20:01):
Washer and dryer. That's got to be a deal breaker.

Speaker 1 (20:04):
For me, right right, So first we have to get
past that big dog.

Speaker 9 (20:09):
No, at first we have to go were you even listening?

Speaker 1 (20:12):
Nah, I was looking at the really big dog.

Speaker 7 (20:14):
The why.

Speaker 10 (20:19):
Just because I have a small apartment, that doesn't mean
that I have a small apetside. And just because my
building frowns on indoor open flames are dangerous levels.

Speaker 9 (20:26):
Of carbon monoxide, that doesn't mean that.

Speaker 10 (20:28):
I don't need to occasionally throw down some meat and grill, grill, grill. Well,
with Blover's new indoor smokeless grill, I can live like
a carnivore and not worry about turning the place down
or killing my neighbors with dangerous poisonous gas.

Speaker 5 (20:42):
You know, using.

Speaker 10 (20:43):
Patented fire stuff technology, Blover has taken all of the
heat and smoke of a real fire and made it
relatively safe for indoor use. Now I can cook my
meat by my bed, and the only thing I'll have
to worry.

Speaker 9 (20:53):
About is my alarmingly high chlysterol level.

Speaker 10 (20:56):
Blover's indoor smokeless grills be a hunter again. Levisers are
not non certified for use in apartment buildings or of dooors,
not suitable for most meats, vegetables or some Jesus late
Lela and California or in Mexico.

Speaker 1 (21:18):
I'm going to throw it to our expert panel. Any
notes that we can think about for the next time
we come around.

Speaker 2 (21:25):
I do have a few, and then Rob, if you
have some thoughts. I loved that man. First, thank you,
really really good, Mia, really good.

Speaker 6 (21:31):
I love the fact that you used your sweet voice,
your youthful, young, cutesy cartoony if you will voice for
this character. They talk about it as you're reading the stage,
Rex and stuff, sour, sour, sour, and she scowls and stuff.

Speaker 2 (21:47):
I'm wondering if we can't find a way to keep
that sweet voice but make her somewhat meaner. Do you
know what I mean? Fight that sweet.

Speaker 6 (21:57):
Voice and make her She is sour, she is bitter,
she is cranky, and so it seems to be almost
at the very beginning, and again, well, really funny copy,
Oh thank you so so he's going to give you
a nice, big entrance, right the coast is clear, you say,
she keep your voice down, and then he then what
does he do the opposite?

Speaker 2 (22:16):
Sorry? And then I would love to see you.

Speaker 6 (22:20):
Use that next fight, which I'll call a line for
yelling is the opposite of keeping your voice down, a
much more forced whisper, so it is still a whisper,
but it's loud and it's angry.

Speaker 2 (22:30):
So you guys, can we just run those first four
lines again? But I really, do you understand?

Speaker 6 (22:34):
That knows me to understand what I'm happening right now,
Let's just try it with that little bit right ready,
when you're ready, we're rolling the coast.

Speaker 10 (22:42):
Is clear, Keep your voice down? Do you want to
get us caught?

Speaker 1 (22:47):
All right?

Speaker 9 (22:49):
Chilling is the opposite of keeping your voice down.

Speaker 2 (22:52):
That's it.

Speaker 6 (22:52):
That's exactly what I was talking about as a much
better entrance. That sets the scene so much better.

Speaker 2 (22:56):
Thank you. And then I had one other note.

Speaker 6 (22:59):
I want to go over to page two, the big
speech at the I am Albert, the pretty I am Albert.
I'm the prettiest fision of this factory it's ever made,
And there I want to play with that anger, bitter
sourness as well.

Speaker 2 (23:12):
Just a nice big block for you to play with me.

Speaker 6 (23:15):
Just give you a pick up there at I called
it line eighteen to have a number four for whatever
you're ready?

Speaker 9 (23:19):
Yeah, Can I ask a question about it real quick?

Speaker 1 (23:21):
Of course?

Speaker 8 (23:22):
Awesome?

Speaker 10 (23:23):
Okay, So do you want me to like, you know,
like start off kind of full of herself and then
like get more like cranky as she goes down, or
like what like you know, I'll.

Speaker 2 (23:30):
Tell you what I want to do. Rob.

Speaker 1 (23:32):
I want you to Rob, excuse me, I've already been recast.

Speaker 2 (23:38):
I want you to read her in with line nub.
Why are you in the bin? Why are you in
the bin? Sammy? You're so pretty?

Speaker 6 (23:44):
And I want you to respond. So he's going to
read you in three times each time. I want you
to respond with just I am Albert, three different ways.

Speaker 2 (23:52):
Okay, keeping that note in mind, But dude, maybe you want.

Speaker 6 (23:55):
To start small, bitter, big, bigger, bitterer, larger bit with
three different, completely different versions, and then we'll make a
decision as to how to do the rest of it.

Speaker 2 (24:02):
Okay, and we'll read you in when you're ready.

Speaker 1 (24:06):
Why are you in the bad bind? Sammy? You're so pretty?

Speaker 9 (24:10):
I am Albert. I am Albert, I am Albert.

Speaker 2 (24:15):
Okay, all those were kind of sweet. I want to get,
you know, a little bit more of that.

Speaker 6 (24:22):
I'm so angry about this as your subtext, okay, and
I want him to read you in all three times,
so I want him to read it, and you're.

Speaker 2 (24:28):
Gonna read it. He's gonna read it again.

Speaker 1 (24:33):

Speaker 7 (24:37):
I am Albert.

Speaker 1 (24:39):
Why are you in the bad bin? Then, Sammy? I mean,
you're so pretty.

Speaker 9 (24:43):
I am Albert.

Speaker 1 (24:45):

Speaker 7 (24:50):
I am Albert.

Speaker 5 (24:53):
Very nice?

Speaker 6 (24:54):
All three valid versions of how to start that, So
now use that last word I am, But it's almost
a clenched.

Speaker 10 (25:02):
Jaw kind of like I was getting, like kind of
like depresso, like, oh, you're right, God, I don't.

Speaker 2 (25:07):
Know, well, I kind of like the deep angry, like
I'm so angry.

Speaker 6 (25:11):
I'm trying not to yell at you because it's not
really your fault, but I'm sorry.

Speaker 2 (25:14):
I don't belong here.

Speaker 6 (25:15):
So and what I want to do is some kind
of build that happens in the script. Okay, right, run
that little section again, just from and I'll read one
more time, will if you will get it?

Speaker 2 (25:24):
Run the whole one.

Speaker 1 (25:25):
Okay, why are you in the bad band, Sammy? You're
so pretty?

Speaker 7 (25:31):
I am Albert.

Speaker 10 (25:33):
the prettiest fish that has ever been made. But none
of that matters when the world you were brought into
is a cesspool of awfulness, covered and even more awfulness.

Speaker 9 (25:47):
And then tipped and nuts that have been sprayed with.

Speaker 5 (25:52):
Very good.

Speaker 2 (25:54):
That was very good. That was much more interesting. Do
you see what I'm saying?

Speaker 5 (25:58):
Yes?

Speaker 9 (25:59):
I loved it so much more.

Speaker 2 (26:00):
Thank you, my pleasure entirely.

Speaker 6 (26:03):
Beck All, I have I want to talk about the
commercial separately if I may, Yes, so, Rob, do you
have notes for her for the body of the speech?

Speaker 5 (26:10):
No, I just have some stuff about the commercial.

Speaker 2 (26:12):
And okay, you know, why don't you take the commercial up?

Speaker 5 (26:17):
Really lovely, Mia, really on the commercial.

Speaker 4 (26:22):
I would love to hear you do it, just as
just as though you were talking about ozempic like my've
really lowered my A one C. And the copy obviously
is written in such a way that it draws attention
to himself because it's all absurd.

Speaker 5 (26:38):
So I would like to have you read it in
a very matter.

Speaker 4 (26:43):
Of fact way with absolutely belief in what you're saying.
Don't play the comedy of the words. They're funny the
way they're written, and they're absurd, all right, or just
try that.

Speaker 7 (26:54):
Okay.

Speaker 10 (26:55):
Just because I have a small apartment, that doesn't mean
that I have a small appetite. And just because my
building on indoor open flames or dangerous levels of carbon monoxide,
that doesn't mean that I don't need to occasionally throw
down some meat and grill, grill, grill well with bluff,
pardon well. With Blover's new indoor smokeless Grail, I can
live like a carnivore and not worry about burning the

(27:17):
place down or killing my neighbors with dangerous poison gas.
Using potential fire stuff technology, Blover's has taken all of
the heat and smoke of a real fire and made
it relatively safe for indoor use. Now I can cook
my meat by my bed, and the only thing I'll
have to worry about is my alarmingly high cholesterol level.
Blover's indoor Smokeless Girls be a hunter again. Blover's Girls

(27:37):
are not certified for use in most apartment buildings or
outdoors not suitable for meats. Vegetables or some cheeses not
egal in California or New Mexico.

Speaker 4 (27:47):
Blowing through the legal copy is exactly don't be afraid
to take some chances, conversational and colloquial.

Speaker 10 (27:53):
Try to Okay, Hey, just because I have a small apartment,
that doesn't mean that I have a small appetite. And
just because my building frowns on indoor open flames or
dangerous levels of carbon monoxide, that doesn't mean that I
don't need to occasionally throw down some meat and grill.

Speaker 7 (28:06):
Grill, grill.

Speaker 8 (28:07):
Well.

Speaker 10 (28:08):
With Blover's new indoor smokeless grill, I can live like
a carnivore, not worry about burning the blaze down or
killing my neighbors with dangerous poisonous gas.

Speaker 7 (28:18):
Using patented fire stuff technology.

Speaker 10 (28:21):
Bliver's has taken all of the heat and smoke of
a real fire and made it relatively safe for indoor use.
Now I can cook my meat by my bed, and
the only thing I'll have to worry about is.

Speaker 9 (28:29):
My alarmly hay cholesterol level. Blover's indoor smokeless grills be
a hunter.

Speaker 4 (28:34):
Again when you go to Blover's has taken all of
the heat and smoke of real fire and made it
give yourself a beat before, relatively safe and made it,
you know, however you would like to however you would
like to use. You are aware, You're not stupid, You're
aware that it is it is lethal. But and so

(28:55):
instead of saying kind of lethal, you're saying it's relatively safe.

Speaker 5 (28:59):
You know what I mean?

Speaker 4 (29:00):
Up if you would from just going from using patented
fire stuff through for indoor use.

Speaker 10 (29:07):
Using patented fire stuff technology, Blommers has taken all of
the heat and smoke of real fire and made it
relatively say for indoor use.

Speaker 8 (29:16):
Great, great, ron Mia, Thank you of your small.

Speaker 4 (29:25):
Yeah, leave some for the other girls.

Speaker 1 (29:30):
Thank you. We will be right back with you.

Speaker 2 (29:33):
Well done.

Speaker 1 (29:34):
If we're being uh, you know, we've got to start
nitpicking is the problem. Her her v O work, her
animation work is better so far than her ad reads.
And it's also, I mean's exactly what you were showing.
What we're both showing is one of the things that
we're looking for. We've said, as somebody who they're going
to win today, they could be in the booth tomorrow.
And one of the things you have to do when
you get ad copy or script is find those moments.

(29:56):
You have to find those beats, and there's not always
going to be a great director or a great actor
there that's going to point them out to you. So
that's another thing we're looking for as somebody who's taking
those moments and finding those beats and yeah, and taking
the direction. So well, let's with that said, let's go
see what Hanna Obama, Haskay, Hey Hannah, Hello, how are you?

(30:17):
I'm here? All right, So what we're going to be
doing is the first go around, we are not going
to say anything. We're just going to let you go
through the script. I'm going to be playing Albert, you're
going to be playing Sammy, and there's going to be
no The one difference here is there's going to be
no break between the two. So you're going to get through.

(30:40):
We're going to get through the scene and you can
take a breath, and then you're going to go right
into the ad read. So it's like you're reading the
copy for your own own television show, if that's cool.
And we won't be reading like last time, we won't
be reading any of the stage direction. We're going to
do it straight up like an old radio play, like
we would be recording in a booth. Perfect you good?
I'm good? All right? So here we go, Andrea, if

(31:03):
you would get us started, We're going to start at.

Speaker 2 (31:06):
Line one with Albert. When you're ready, we are rolling.

Speaker 1 (31:11):
The coast is clear.

Speaker 7 (31:14):
Do you want us to get caught?

Speaker 1 (31:17):
Sorry?

Speaker 7 (31:18):
Oh, yelling is the opposite giving your voice down?

Speaker 11 (31:22):
Opposite means chocolate flavored.

Speaker 7 (31:24):
Oh no it doesn't. I've told you that one hundred.

Speaker 1 (31:27):
Times, have you. I don't remember that? Oh wait, nope,
still don't remember. Uh, I'm sorry, Sammy. Why are we
escaping again?

Speaker 7 (31:40):
Because for some crazy reason you were relegated to the
reject pile. And if we don't get out of if
you're going to melt us down, that sounds bad.

Speaker 11 (31:51):
It's bad, right, yes, Albert, it's bad.

Speaker 1 (31:57):
Am I as good an escaping as.

Speaker 7 (31:58):
You, well, seeing as we actually haven't escaped yet.

Speaker 1 (32:03):
Thinking no, oh yeah, I keep forgetting that you have
to escape first to actually be a good escaper. Am I
always forgetting stuff like this because my head got smushed.

Speaker 7 (32:13):

Speaker 1 (32:16):
Why are you in the bad bin, Sammy? I mean
you're so pretty?

Speaker 7 (32:20):
Oh I am Albert? I am the prettiest fish that
this factory isn't made, the prettiest fish that has ever
been made. But none of that matters. When the world
you were brought into was a souciable of awfulness. We
heard to need more awfulness. The dicked to nonsense frayed
with spreak offulness.

Speaker 1 (32:43):
Huh, well, then why are you in the bin?

Speaker 7 (32:47):
I overheard some workers talking, apparently something wrong with my recipe.
Oh no, yeah, I'm two sour stupid jerks.

Speaker 1 (32:59):
I'm don't think that's true. Sammy, you're a little tower best.

Speaker 7 (33:06):
Please you just wait till I get out of here.
I'm going to be the sweetest fitch you've ever met.

Speaker 1 (33:12):
Why would you be Swedish?

Speaker 6 (33:15):
Yeah?

Speaker 7 (33:16):
Sweet test fish, not sweetish? Are you trying to get
a sued?

Speaker 1 (33:21):
Okay, so what do we do next?

Speaker 7 (33:23):
Okay, first we have to get down from the spin.
Next we have to make it across the factory floor.
Then we have to open the big door by the
loading dock.

Speaker 1 (33:32):
And lastly, when.

Speaker 7 (33:33):
We make our way to the city, we'll find jobs
in the studio apartment. And I'm okay if the closet
isn't that bad, but I'm going to have to insist
on a washer and dryer.

Speaker 11 (33:42):
That's going to be a deal breaker for me.

Speaker 1 (33:44):
Right, right, So first we have to get past that
big dog.

Speaker 7 (33:47):
No, first we have to Oh were you even listening?

Speaker 6 (33:50):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (33:50):
I was looking at the big dog?

Speaker 5 (33:52):
Who what er? Great m.

Speaker 8 (33:59):
Just because just because I have a small apartment, that
doesn't mean I have a small appetite. And just because
my building frowns on indoor open flames and dangerous levels
of carbon monoxide, that doesn't mean that I don't need
to occasionally throw down some meat and grill grill grillel Well,
with Bleover's new indoor smokeless grills, I can live like

(34:21):
a carnivore and not worry about burning the place down
or killing my neighbors with dangerous poison gas. Using patented
fire stuff technology, Glover's has taken all the heat and
smoke of real fire and made it relatively safe for
indoor use. Now I can cook my meat by my bed,
and the only thing I have to worry about is
my alarmingly high cholesterol level. Bleover's indoor smokeless grills be.

Speaker 11 (34:46):
A hunter again.

Speaker 7 (34:48):
Bloffer's grills are not certified for most use in apartment
buildings or outdoors not suitable for most meat, vegetables, or
some cheeses not legal in California or New Mexico.

Speaker 1 (34:57):
Yay, no, you that was great handah man, you just
changed on a dime.

Speaker 4 (35:09):
The first Sammy was nothing like the lady who likes
to cook meat.

Speaker 5 (35:15):
By her bed.

Speaker 4 (35:17):
Forgive me for jumping in, Drea, I I just uh,
I was so impressed by you. Literally did take what
a beat and a half and just boom and it
was just lovely.

Speaker 7 (35:29):
I thank you, thank you.

Speaker 6 (35:32):
I wanted to deal with a couple of lines from
the first part of the copy. Okay, we had a
little technical maybe you guys didn't have the same technical problems,
but at the very top of the copy there were
several words of yours that just plane dropped out.

Speaker 1 (35:44):
I did today for the first time, Hannah, which you've
never done before. You're spiking, which is which is strange.
You know as it went on, will it did it
got better?

Speaker 2 (35:53):
Well?

Speaker 1 (35:53):
It's it's what we were noticing earlier in the competition
is when people got hiring their registers with certain types
of microphone, especially with more people on a zoom, it
would compress, so it would it would. So we're going
to would run.

Speaker 6 (36:07):
The beginning again, the first part of the scene, just
so I can hear it clearer. And then I do
have a specific note about it, which is, keep your
voice down. You want to get caught? Sorry, yelling is
I mean, really, you're he's an idiot, friend, but he's
clearly an idiot.

Speaker 1 (36:25):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (36:26):
And I think if this character, if.

Speaker 6 (36:28):
I'm reading it correctly as the author intended, she's sour.

Speaker 2 (36:33):
She's meant to be sour, right, She's she's supposed to be,
So I'd like to hear some of that.

Speaker 6 (36:37):
In her performance, Okay, even angry at him, even though
he's kind of her friend.

Speaker 1 (36:42):
Ready, Yes, honey, you good?

Speaker 5 (36:44):
All right?

Speaker 2 (36:45):
When you're ready? Will we're really.

Speaker 1 (36:48):
The coast is clear.

Speaker 7 (36:50):
Keep your voice down?

Speaker 11 (36:51):
Do you want us stick get caught?

Speaker 2 (36:53):
All right?

Speaker 9 (36:55):
Yelling is the opposite. Keeping your voice.

Speaker 11 (36:57):
Down opposite means acol flavor.

Speaker 7 (37:01):
It doesn't I told you that one hundred times, have you?

Speaker 1 (37:05):
I don't. I don't remember that. Oh wait, no, I
still don't remember. I'm sorry.

Speaker 2 (37:11):
That's great, that's great. Okay, That's what I just needed
to hear it, Hannah.

Speaker 6 (37:15):
Okay, Okay, starting with Sammy saying because for some crazy reason,
we are relegated to the reject pile. For me, it
starts on page two, yes, and I just want to
run like the next three or four lines will if
you'd read that with her, I need to get a
little bit of urgency, Hannah with.

Speaker 2 (37:30):
Okay, if we don't get out of here, we're gonna
get melted down.

Speaker 6 (37:33):
Right now, it was just kind of informational, but there
wasn't really much context as to how do you feel
about that? So let me hear the urgency about that,
and then and again when we get.

Speaker 2 (37:43):
To yes, Albert, it's bad, a little more impatience with
what an idiot he is? Okay, right, So started from actually,
we'll wantn't you meet in with? Sorry, Sammy, why aren't
we escaping?

Speaker 1 (37:52):
Yes, ma'am, you're ready, we're rolling. Sorry Sammy, why are
we escaping again?

Speaker 10 (37:59):
Because we're some crazy reason we were relegated to the
reject pile and if you don't get out of here,
they're going to build us down.

Speaker 1 (38:06):
That's not bad.

Speaker 11 (38:08):
It's bad, right, It's Albert, it's bad.

Speaker 2 (38:11):
That's it. That's it, much better, much better, Mom, Did
you want to give her any other notes on the
on the.

Speaker 4 (38:17):
Not just because I I just I'm having so much
fun with this. I'd like to try that little paragraph
where Sammy scowls after he says, why are you in
the bad being?

Speaker 5 (38:29):
Sammy? You're so pretty? And you I would I would like.

Speaker 4 (38:33):
You to start out being a little more morose. Look
for places where you can actually add a different punctuation,
you can end a sentence, not necessarily where it.

Speaker 5 (38:44):
Is you can.

Speaker 4 (38:45):
It's it's like it's authentic thinking out loud.

Speaker 5 (38:49):
So just try that.

Speaker 1 (38:50):
Okay, all right, so I'll read you in. Here we
go perfect? Why are you in the bad beIN? Sammy?

Speaker 12 (38:56):
You're so pretty, Albert, I'm the prettiest this factory has
ever made, the prettiest fish that has ever been made.
But none of that matters when the world you were
brought into is a cesspool filled with awfulness, covered in
even more awfulness than dipped in nuts that have been
sprayed with breckirals. Oh no, more awfulness.

Speaker 4 (39:18):
Great, try out one more time the first line, You're
so pretty.

Speaker 5 (39:23):
And that can be very matter of fact, like, oh yeah,
I know that I can just try that.

Speaker 1 (39:27):
Sure, sure, sure are you ready?

Speaker 6 (39:29):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (39:31):
Why are you in the bad Bend, Sammy, you're so pretty.

Speaker 7 (39:35):
I am Albert, I am the prettiest fish that this
factory has ever made, the prettiest fish that has ever
been made. None of that matters. And when the world
you were brought into is a cesspool full of is
a cesspool of awfulness, covered with even more awfulness than
dipped and nuts that have been sprayed with bretas, no

(39:56):
more awfulness.

Speaker 5 (39:57):
Greg, thank you very much. That was really lovely, really good.

Speaker 7 (40:01):
Hannah, thank you so much.

Speaker 1 (40:03):
We will be right back with you. So it's tough
because I think Mio was better with the vo and
I think that Hannah was better with the ad read.

Speaker 2 (40:15):
I agree, yeah, ye, at.

Speaker 1 (40:19):
The end of the day, I at least that first round,
I think Mia found more beats than Hannah did in
the animation portion and thus equated to better acting frankly
in the in the first round, agreed. But then you
get to the ad read, where a lot of actors

(40:39):
make a fortune and do a great job. And Hannah
was really good.

Speaker 4 (40:45):
She definitely, in this small snippet, appeared to be a
little more versatile, and I know Andrea.

Speaker 5 (40:53):
Is very used to this.

Speaker 4 (40:55):
In fact, this is a good question, Andrea, how do
you figure.

Speaker 5 (40:59):
In nerves to read.

Speaker 4 (41:00):
With a young actor who's going, oh my god, I
really need this job.

Speaker 1 (41:05):
Great question, it's.

Speaker 2 (41:06):
An excellent question.

Speaker 6 (41:07):
And what I try to do is get them out
of their own heads so they're not thinking about it anymore.

Speaker 2 (41:13):
And so you'll give whatever note let them run.

Speaker 6 (41:16):
And it's organic and it has to happen at the
time with each individual actor what they respond to. And
sometimes it's just as simple as asking them to step
back from the microphone, shake it out, you know, reach,
touch your toes, come back up.

Speaker 2 (41:30):
Start again. We're rolling.

Speaker 6 (41:31):
And you know what I do as much as possible
is just encourage them. Would just be as encouraging as possibility.
You know what, there's nothing that you can do here
that's wrong.

Speaker 2 (41:40):
We want to hear you act.

Speaker 6 (41:42):
We just want to hear you do this stuff. We're here.
We want you to do well. So you know, what
can I do to help you? So sometimes giving them
that option, what can I tell you? What can I
do for you that will make that will help you?
But it's an interesting thing. I mean, I remember Chuck McCain,
Remember chucklicking well, sure, remember him, especially.

Speaker 2 (42:03):
Into a flop swept in an audition.

Speaker 6 (42:06):
For men established successful actor just losing it because he
was so nervous.

Speaker 2 (42:12):
He wanted this role so much, and I had to
get him out of his head. I had to like pull,
you know, give him a towel to dry off, and
let's let's chuck. I love you.

Speaker 5 (42:23):
How fun.

Speaker 6 (42:24):
Yeah, everything has to be done with differently, Robert, it's
a really good question.

Speaker 2 (42:28):
But she definitely had a nervous issue.

Speaker 1 (42:31):
She did. She did, and it's the first time I've
seen it. She's been ice cold this entire competition. I mean, really,
this entire competition, at least at least to the point
where she's been hiding it very well because I'm sure
she was nervous. We're all gett nervous. I I got
nervous yesterday driving to my job. I mean, it happens
all the time. So but she hit it very well
until today where you really kind of see it. But again,

(42:52):
we're you know, we're we're stewing these people. I mean,
right now, they're all sitting there in the quiet and
there's zoom in their rooms, wondering what's going to happen.
Your nerves are getting better of you. So yeah, it's
an interesting question. But with that said, let's let's make
it even more difficult on them and bring it back in.
I would uh, since you are are our guest actor
judge today, Rob, I'm going to use the once again

(43:14):
the beautiful Rider Strong from Boy Meets World's Head Oh
as the coin of the day. So Mia is Rider's
middle part and h Hannah is the back here. Can
you tell me heads or tails? Uh? So yeah, heads
or tails to who goes first for the next round?

Speaker 5 (43:31):
Okay, uh.

Speaker 1 (43:34):
Tales it is heads? Like once again, have to look
at Ryder Strong's stupid face all the time. So let's
bring Mia in. Hi, miya, Hello? How are you?

Speaker 9 (43:46):
I'm good?

Speaker 2 (43:47):
Thank you for being so patient.

Speaker 1 (43:49):
Of course we know it's crazy. So here's what we'd
like to do. I think we told you a little bit.
We're gonna switch rolls. You're now going to be Albert
and I am going to be Sammy. But we are
going to have Rob and Andrea up pick the character
you are going to do. So Rob, if you would, please, sir,
can you give me a number between one and six.

Speaker 5 (44:10):
Four?

Speaker 1 (44:11):
Andrea? Could you give me a number between one and
twelve eleven? Rob a number between one and seven two,
and Andrea, please, if you would to finish it off
a number between one and eleven.

Speaker 2 (44:26):
Uh six?

Speaker 1 (44:27):
Okay? So okay, Mia, you are going to be reading
this character as a small MERR person. Oh you are
five years old, baby, and the love of your life
has just left you. No, not the five exactly. So

(44:50):
once again we are combining all games. So you are
a small mr person who is five years old and
the love of your life just left, and that is
your character as you are. Albert.

Speaker 9 (45:04):
Alrighty, because it's clear.

Speaker 1 (45:09):
Keep your voice down you want to get us caught. Sorry,
yelling is the opposite of keeping your voice down.

Speaker 9 (45:17):
Opposite means chocolate favored.

Speaker 1 (45:20):
No, it doesn't. I've told you that one hundred times,
have you.

Speaker 13 (45:25):
I don't remember that?

Speaker 5 (45:30):
No?

Speaker 7 (45:31):
Still I remember?

Speaker 9 (45:32):
Ah, sorry, Sammy, Why are we escaping again?

Speaker 1 (45:38):
Oh? Because for some crazy reason, we are relegated to
the reject pile and if we don't get out of here,
they're gonna melt us down.

Speaker 9 (45:44):
That sounds bad.

Speaker 1 (45:47):
It's bad, right, yes, Albert, it's bad.

Speaker 9 (45:52):
Am I as good as escaper as you.

Speaker 1 (45:55):
Well, seeing as we haven't actually escapered yet, I'm thinking no.

Speaker 13 (46:01):
Oh yeah, thank you forgetting that you have to escape
first to actually be a good escaper.

Speaker 7 (46:07):
Am I always forgetting stuff like this because.

Speaker 9 (46:09):
My head got smashed.

Speaker 1 (46:11):
Hm. I'm guessing that's only a small part of it.

Speaker 9 (46:15):
Why are you and the bad Bend? Sammy?

Speaker 7 (46:17):
You're so pretty?

Speaker 1 (46:19):
I am Albert. I'm the prettiest fish this factory has
ever made, the prettiest fish that has ever been made.
But none of that matters when the world you're brought
into is a cesspool of awfulness, covered in even more awfulness,
and then dipped in nuts that have been sprayed with spreads.
No more awfulness?

Speaker 9 (46:37):
Oh then, then, why are you in the ben y?

Speaker 1 (46:42):
I overheard some of the workers talking. Apparently something went
wrong with my recipe. Oh no, yeah, I'm two sour
stupid jerks.

Speaker 10 (46:52):
I don't think that's true, Sammy, Yeah, maybe a little sour.

Speaker 1 (47:01):
Yeah, it's because of this place. You just wait till
I get out of here. I'm gonna be the sweetish
fish you've ever met.

Speaker 11 (47:08):
Why would you be sweetish?

Speaker 1 (47:10):
Sweetish fish not Swedish? Well are you trying to get
a sued Ah?

Speaker 9 (47:16):
Well, what do we do next?

Speaker 1 (47:19):
All right, first we have to get down from this bin.
Then we have to open that big door by the
loading dock, and lastly we have to make our way
to the city where we'll find jobs in a studio apartment.
I'm okay if the closet isn't that big, but I'm
going to insist on a washer dryer. It's gonna be
my deal breaker, all.

Speaker 13 (47:36):
Right, right, right, okay, okay, So first we have to
get past.

Speaker 7 (47:42):
That big dog.

Speaker 1 (47:43):
What big No, First we have to were you even listening?

Speaker 9 (47:47):
I was looking at the big dog.

Speaker 1 (47:49):
The big what.

Speaker 5 (48:01):
I heard?

Speaker 1 (48:03):
That was really really good? That was really good. Since
we're here, do we want to do the ad copy
in some new kind of way? Do you just want
to take a swing doing something where we're I mean, Rob,
can you think of just a whole new kind of
way to read the ad copy?

Speaker 5 (48:22):
Tweak the copy to make it as you.

Speaker 4 (48:26):
Are the spokesperson, but you're a grill expert, a cooking expert,
so that there will be a little bit more kind
of officiousness to your read, a little bit more like
you're an expert on this.

Speaker 5 (48:42):
See what you can do with that. It's a good thing.
I don't direct.

Speaker 1 (48:46):
I'm also gonna I haven't. I haven't really spoken up
at all because I have two more people that are
far more qualified than I am here. But everything we've
done today, as great as it's been, has all been
in kind of the same register. I would love to
hear if you could just lower it a little bit,
I would like to hear a different tone from you.
You don't have to go crazy, you don't have to
go growlly, but just something a little less, little girl,

(49:10):
just for one ad read to see where that lands
kind of in your register.

Speaker 6 (49:14):
That same thing, and if I could articulate it in
just a slightly different way for.

Speaker 1 (49:18):
You, a better way. Is what she said. She does
this for a living. There's a reason she has Emmys,
and I don't even know anyone.

Speaker 2 (49:25):
Here's the thing.

Speaker 6 (49:26):
I want you to use the lowest part of your voice,
where it's the lowest and the deepest and most comfortable,
without forcing it at all. So you're not pushing it
down here, you're just finding either if you were to
sing la la la la, la, la la la, that's
already just pushing it. So love comfortable here, I could
speak in this voice, So find a pitch a placement

(49:48):
where it's comfortable, but the deepest part of your range
without forcing it.

Speaker 10 (49:53):
Okay, you know, just because I have a small apartment,
that doesn't mean that I have a small appetite. Just
because of my building frowns on indoor open flames are
dangerous levels of carbon monoxide. That doesn't mean that I
don't need to occasionally throw down some meating grill grill.
Grill well with Blover's new indoor smokeless grill, I can't pardon.

Speaker 8 (50:15):
Well.

Speaker 10 (50:16):
With Blover's new indoor smokeless grill, I can live like
a carnivore and not worry about burning the blaze down
or killing my neighbors with dangerous boisonous gas. Using patented
fire stuff technology, Blover has taken all of the heat
and smoke of real life fire and made it relatively
safe for indoor use. Now I can cook my meat
by my bed, and the only thing I'll have to

(50:36):
worry about is my alarmingly.

Speaker 8 (50:38):
High cholesterol level.

Speaker 10 (50:39):
But that's nothing new Blover's indoor smokeless grills be a
hunter again. Blover's grills are not certified for use in
most apartment buildings or outdoors, not suitable for most meats, vegetables,
or some cheeses not legal in California or New Mexico.

Speaker 2 (50:53):
It's really nice.

Speaker 5 (50:58):
It was a lot different from the last time.

Speaker 1 (51:02):
All Right, we will be back with you. Thank you, Mia,
thank you, thank you.

Speaker 6 (51:09):
Well, that was a great note you gave Rob. That
was remarkably better.

Speaker 1 (51:15):
Her also the scene her five year old and her acting,
and then the moment she was finding We even talked
about that. She killed that, you know. You know how
I why I noticed it the most is because she
was making me better. I was playing I was playing
off of her as much as she was playing off
of me, and I was finding beats I hadn't done before.

(51:36):
It was just that was great. So what a great remark. Well, okay,
let's bring Hannah in and see see what we can
do there. Hey, Hannah, how are you. Well, here's what

(52:02):
we're gonna do. Yes, we are going to switch characters
like we did last time, but we are going to
play by the numbers, and Andrea and Rob are going
to create the character for you. Okay, is what's going
to happen. So if you would please mister Paulson, a
number between one and six, five Andrea a number between

(52:23):
one and twelve, four, Rob a number between one and
seven seven, and finally Andrea a number between one and eleven. Okay, okay, so,
han Obama, you are a tiny racehorse. Race Wait a second,

(52:45):
let me make sure I have this right. Yes, you
are a tiny race horse. That is correct. You are
ninety five years old and you are afraid of your
own shadow. This is a tough round here.

Speaker 13 (53:00):
You do this to me?

Speaker 1 (53:03):
Are you ready to give it a pass?

Speaker 7 (53:05):
Sure?

Speaker 1 (53:06):
All right, at your pleasure.

Speaker 6 (53:08):
Absolutely, when you are ready. We'll start from the top
and we're rolling.

Speaker 11 (53:13):
It is clear.

Speaker 1 (53:16):
Keep your voice down you want to get us caught
show yelling is the opposite of keeping your voice down.

Speaker 9 (53:24):
After ship means, how can you flavor?

Speaker 1 (53:29):
No, it doesn't. I've told you that one hundred times.

Speaker 11 (53:33):
Hell you, I don't remember that.

Speaker 13 (53:38):
Wait nope, I do don't remember a Sorry Sammy.

Speaker 7 (53:50):
Why we escaping again?

Speaker 1 (53:52):
Because for some crazy reason we are relegated to the
reject pile and I finally, if we don't get out
of here, they're going to melt us down. That bad.
It's bad, right, yes, Albert, it's bad. Huh?

Speaker 9 (54:10):
Oh?

Speaker 13 (54:11):
Red, am I as good as an escaper as you are.

Speaker 1 (54:16):

Speaker 13 (54:21):
Oh yeah, I can't forgetting that you actually have to
escape first to actually be a good escaper.

Speaker 7 (54:32):
Am I alwish forgetting stuff like this?

Speaker 9 (54:34):
Because my head is smushed.

Speaker 1 (54:37):

Speaker 13 (54:40):
Well, eh, yeah, why are you in the bad ben?

Speaker 1 (54:47):
Sammy? You're so pretty? Yes I am Albert I. I'm
the prettiest fish that this factory has ever made, the
prettiest fish that's ever been made. But none of that
matters when the world you were brought into is a
cesspool of awfulness covered in even more awful and then
dip the nuts and sprayed with bingo more awfulness there.

Speaker 9 (55:08):
Oh then, why are you in the bin?

Speaker 1 (55:12):
I overheard some of the workers talking. Apparently something went
wrong with my recipe. Oh no, yep, I'm two sour
stupid jerks.

Speaker 13 (55:23):
When I don't think that's true, Sammy, you're a.

Speaker 11 (55:32):
Little shell work.

Speaker 1 (55:34):
It's because of this place. You Just wait till I
get out of here. I'm gonna be the sweetish fish
you've ever met.

Speaker 11 (55:40):
Oh that would you be? Sweetish?

Speaker 1 (55:42):
Sweetens? M sweetish fish? Not sweetish you're trying to get a.

Speaker 9 (55:45):
Sued eh maybe, Well, what do we do next?

Speaker 1 (55:51):
Well, first we have to get down from this bin.
Then we have to open that big door by the
loading dock, and Leslie, we have to make our way
to the city where we'll find jobs in the studio apartment.
I'm okay, if the closet isn't that big, I'm going
to insist on a wash your dryer though. That's gonna
be a deal breaker for me.

Speaker 9 (56:06):
Right all right, So first we just have to erase
patch that big dog.

Speaker 1 (56:12):
No, first we have to get were you even listening?

Speaker 13 (56:15):
Nah, I was just looking at the big dog over
there with the world.

Speaker 1 (56:25):
That's great. Before anybody gives any notes, I want to
do one more with a different character for you, Okay.
I want one that I want to hear something more
in your natural register. Okay, and just go through the
scene acting wise. Okay, So I want to let's keep

(56:47):
we can keep the keep the horse if you want
to keep the horse. But let's what what would you
say your natural age would be? Voice wise? Twenty eighteen
between you twenty that voice right there you're talking voice
right there. I want to do that. I want to
get one clean take. Your mic is acting up a
little bit at times. I also think you're a little

(57:07):
bit in your head about trying to keep the voice right,
the age right. It's a lot, and I want to
make sure we get a great take with you with
just your natural register and going through there so you
can keep all of the you know, if you want
to keep some of the affectations of being the horse,
or you want to keep afraid of your own shadow,
that's fine, but I want to keep it in your

(57:28):
natural register. I want to see what that's like. If
that's cool, Andrea, Rob, is that work? And then we'll
just run through it once again real quick like that.
Sure does that work for you? Sure?

Speaker 5 (57:39):
All right?

Speaker 1 (57:39):
Cool? So whenever you want to go and again, I
would say, pick the character, but keep it in your
register and let's see what happens. Okay, all right, when
you're ready to rolling.

Speaker 11 (57:51):
The coast is clear, sh keep your voice down.

Speaker 1 (57:55):
You want to get us caught. Yelling is the opposite
of keeping your down.

Speaker 7 (58:02):
Opposite means chocolate flavored.

Speaker 1 (58:05):
No, it doesn't. I've told you that one hundred times.

Speaker 6 (58:08):
Have you.

Speaker 7 (58:09):
I you don't remember that. Oh wait, nope, still don't remember. Ah, sorry, Sammy,
Why are we escaping again?

Speaker 1 (58:21):
Because for some crazy reason we are relegated to the
reject pile and if we don't get out of here,
they're gonna melt us down.

Speaker 7 (58:28):
Oh that sounds bad.

Speaker 1 (58:30):
That's bad, right, yes, Albert, it's bad.

Speaker 7 (58:33):
Well, am I as good as an escaper as you?

Speaker 1 (58:36):

Speaker 7 (58:40):
Oh yeah, I keep forgetting that you actually have to
escape first to actually be a good escaper? And am
I always forgetting stuff like this? Because my head got smushed.

Speaker 1 (58:51):

Speaker 7 (58:54):
Well, then, then, why are you on the bad bend?

Speaker 1 (58:56):
Sammy?

Speaker 3 (58:56):
You're so pretty?

Speaker 1 (58:58):
Yes I am, Albert. I'm the prettiest fish that this
factory has ever made, the prettiest fish that's ever been made.
But none of that matters when the world you're brought
into a sussesspool of awfulness, covered in even more awfulness,
and then dipped in nuts, and then the raight with sprinkles,
no more awfulness.

Speaker 7 (59:13):
Oh then why are you and the bin?

Speaker 1 (59:17):
I overheard some of the workers talking apparently something went
wrong with my recipe. Oh no, yeah, I'm two sour
stupid jerks.

Speaker 7 (59:27):
Well I don't think that's true, Sammy.

Speaker 1 (59:32):
Well, it's just because of this place. You just wait
till I get out of here. I'm gonna be the
sweetest fish you've ever met.

Speaker 7 (59:40):
Why would you go to be sweetish?

Speaker 5 (59:42):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (59:43):
Sweetish fish, not sweetish? Are you trying to get us sued? Oh?

Speaker 7 (59:48):
Well, what do we do next?

Speaker 1 (59:50):
Okay? I have a figured out. First we have to
get down from the bin. Next we have to make
it across the factory floor. Then we have to open
that big door by the loading dock. And lastly we
have to make our way to the city, where we'll
find jobs in a studio apartment. I'm okay if the
closet isn't that big, but I'm going to insist on a.

Speaker 7 (01:00:05):
Washer dryat that's it's going to be a deal breaker
for me, right, have right, So, so first we have
to get past.

Speaker 1 (01:00:12):
The big dog big No, first we have were you
even listening, na, I was.

Speaker 7 (01:00:17):
Looking at the big puppy?

Speaker 1 (01:00:19):
What big pow?

Speaker 5 (01:00:22):
That was great?

Speaker 2 (01:00:23):
Very good?

Speaker 1 (01:00:24):
Yeah, I wanted to just hear it in your in
your natural register.

Speaker 5 (01:00:27):
Thank you really lovely and totally natural. It was great.

Speaker 2 (01:00:32):
I'm going to do something with the commercial, but the ad.

Speaker 1 (01:00:35):
Copy, Oh did you want me to do that?

Speaker 2 (01:00:37):
Okay?

Speaker 1 (01:00:38):
Well we're yeah, we're debating. We're seeing which I think
I think we should. Let's have you run through it again.
Any any ideas, Andrea Rob anything different for the commercial?

Speaker 6 (01:00:47):
I do because we got such a good version of
this the first time you went through, Rhanna, Yes, and
you can just of rest on your laurels for it's
just fine.

Speaker 2 (01:00:57):
So just to.

Speaker 6 (01:00:58):
Play and give you something different to do. Sure, let's
find a character for this. So we're imagining this. Here's
what I'm picturing. A motorcycle gang mall, a tough broad.

Speaker 2 (01:01:11):
You know, she's really kind of tough.

Speaker 6 (01:01:12):
She's got tattoos all over and piercings everywhere, and and
she's used to being around a really tough element and everything.

Speaker 2 (01:01:21):
So let that be a placement for you to find
for the voice.

Speaker 1 (01:01:26):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (01:01:26):
And then there's one other thing. I want to deal
with it. And I don't know how you guys deal
with this when you work on it, but.

Speaker 6 (01:01:30):
I found that when I was teaching, oftentimes people had
a hard time getting into commercial copy, getting getting it
started because decided who they were talking to in their minds.
Part of the actor was I'm just I'm doing a commercial.
I'm talking to the entire audience. That doesn't necessarily help
the actor. I think for your performance, you need to

(01:01:50):
decide who are you talking to. So, so maybe it's
your boyfriend. Maybe it's your boyfriend. Okay, your motorcycle gang boyfriend.
And he's just said, gosh, your apartment so small. That's
what he's just said to you before you start this copy.
So I'm gonna read you into it, and then you're
going to dive in and read the rest of the copy. Okay,

(01:02:11):
all right, your really tough, nasty boyfriend, biker guy.

Speaker 1 (01:02:16):
That's perfect.

Speaker 6 (01:02:17):
Geez, your apartment is so small.

Speaker 8 (01:02:22):
Hey, just because I have a small apartment, that doesn't
mean I have a small appetite. And just because my
building frowns on indoor open flames or dangerous levels of
carbon monoxide, that doesn't mean I don't need to occasionally
throw down some meat and grill.

Speaker 1 (01:02:39):
Grill, grill.

Speaker 8 (01:02:41):
So with Blover's new indoor smokeless grill, I can live
like a carnivore and not worry about burning the place
down or killing my neighbors with dangerous poison gas. Using
patented fire stuff technology, Blever's has taken all of the
heat and smoke of real fire and made it relatively
safer indoors. So now I can cook my meat by

(01:03:02):
my bed and the only thing I have to worry
about is my alarmingly high cholesterol level. Blover's indoor smokeless
grills be a hunter again. Glover's grills are not certified
for most apartment buildings, are outdoors, not suitable for most meats,
vegtabals or some cheese is not legal in California or
New Mexico.

Speaker 1 (01:03:20):
Nice, really good. That's great, really good. Thank you so much, Hannah.
We will be back with you. Thank you, thank you.

Speaker 2 (01:03:27):
Well done. So interesting this process, it's nuts.

Speaker 6 (01:03:32):
Interesting, yes, because because you're you're trying to judge a
whole bunch of different stuff from you write a lot
more time with both these goals, so you know them
a little better than well.

Speaker 1 (01:03:41):
That's I mean, this is the thing, I think.

Speaker 4 (01:03:45):
You know.

Speaker 1 (01:03:45):
We have so many different versions of the voiceover actor.
I mean again, I can see Hannah. I I frankly
think Hannah did not do great with some of the
acting choices today, which is which is rare because she
was killing it before. But her ad read were great.
I can easily see her taking some acting classes and
maybe getting a little bit more comfortable in her skin

(01:04:06):
when it comes to the actual acting portion, but in
the meantime reading ad copies all over the place and
doing very well. I thought MIA's had two great days,
she I thought, really seeing the direction that she was taking,
the choices that she was making, owning everything she did,

(01:04:28):
and then switching. I thought her weakest part by far
was the add copy, and then I thought she did
great with the add copy the last time. So it's tough.
It's tough. I mean, we've said we thought our top sixteen,
all of all the top sixteen could have been signed
and and you know, could have have found a career.
So the last two down to the last two are
you know, we hope the two best that we had.

(01:04:50):
And of course I'm sure some people were great and
had bad days. It happens, you know, So you don't
know who just left and went, ah, damn it, I
had the worst day ever. We all have them, you know.
That being said, it's we're now nitpicking and I personally
not to start it, but I personally think Mia had
the better day too.

Speaker 6 (01:05:11):
And this, as you said, we all have bad days.
You know, another day it might have been.

Speaker 1 (01:05:15):
Just absolutely absolutely, but we.

Speaker 6 (01:05:18):
Have a finite you know, what you choose from, and
what we saw today, I think Mea is the stronger content.

Speaker 1 (01:05:25):
Here's the other thing, just before you jump in, Rob,
just for both of you to know, because we have
been with these contestants for so long, Mea has gotten
better every time. Oh that's the thing. So she's she's
also she's nineteen. Shut up, she's nineteen and getting better
with every session we've had. And if that's where she

(01:05:46):
started and this is where she is now, I mean
I use this analogy with you the last time, Andrea,
which is you know you have the two. You have
a baseball coach who's looking at two runners who both
make it to first base at the same amount of time.
One of them is perfect form, one of them is
bad form. You take the with bad form because teaching
perfect form, and he's going to beat the first guy.
So me at watching her progress this much in this

(01:06:08):
short amount of time, start getting her in a booth
with regular auditions and I mean, the sky's the limit.

Speaker 4 (01:06:14):
Yeah, that's a great point. And the other side of
that coin is in terms of you know, folks like
folks like us, well, our stock and trade is versatility.
You can create a character or try a dialect or
singing character, all that other stuff.

Speaker 5 (01:06:32):
Nonetheless, I thought, no, Hannah was great, just phenomenal.

Speaker 4 (01:06:36):
The nature of this competition, as you say, is about
right now.

Speaker 5 (01:06:40):
So that's just the way it goes.

Speaker 4 (01:06:43):
I mean, at this moment, at this time, what you've
told us, under this circumstance, it's pretty difficult to not
go with Mia.

Speaker 1 (01:06:52):
I agree. And Hannah was nervous today. You could tell
Hannah was nervous today.

Speaker 6 (01:06:56):
You can that said in a professional situation, whether she's
in the booth at the agency, it's not going to
get less stressful, and it's going to be a matter
of her learning how to handle that.

Speaker 2 (01:07:09):
We gave her so many times today saying how are you,
and she always.

Speaker 1 (01:07:12):
Was like, I'm here, I guess I'm here.

Speaker 2 (01:07:15):
Don't go there. Yeah, I'm great, I'm so grateful to
be here. I'm gung ho.

Speaker 6 (01:07:22):
It's a mistake when you walk in the door and
you bring your problems with you. Outside, and it's all
about I am here to work and have fun.

Speaker 1 (01:07:30):
And I thought the same thing. I thought the same thing. Yeah, okay,
so I think we're all in agreement then right.

Speaker 6 (01:07:36):
All right, well we're going to tell these ladies now right?

Speaker 1 (01:07:40):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (01:07:41):
Are you tell Hannah first?

Speaker 1 (01:07:42):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (01:07:43):
Okay, let's I want to give her lots of encouragement because.

Speaker 1 (01:07:45):
Of course, hey, how are you well? So I'm going
to be just totally honest to you. Unfortunately, you didn't
win today, okay, but you did an amazing job. I
mean number two out of forty five hundred people. You know,
when I'm we're sitting here with Rob Paulson and Andrea Romano,

(01:08:06):
two of the best ever in the business. And when
I told them it was forty five hundred people, they
couldn't believe how.

Speaker 5 (01:08:12):
Many people around it.

Speaker 1 (01:08:14):
It's you've done so incredibly well. I have to.

Speaker 5 (01:08:18):
Say, let me interject something.

Speaker 4 (01:08:20):
And firstly, Will and I are both on Andrea's You're
an actor too, right, Andrea, you were an actor at college,
and so we all we all, and I am dead serious.
We know exactly how you feel, we know exactly how
bad you want it. I have to tell you the

(01:08:42):
hustle never stops. Ever, when someone says to me, what's
your favorite gig, I say the next one, because I
can't believe that I'm able to do essentially what got
me in trouble in high school with people whom I
would choose to be my friends, two of whom are here.

Speaker 5 (01:09:02):
And then my job is to bring joy to millions
of people.

Speaker 4 (01:09:06):
So that is all to say that you are so
ahead of the game. I reckon I've done something like
twenty five hundred and a half hours of animation.

Speaker 5 (01:09:21):
Which means I've not gotten four thousand of them.

Speaker 1 (01:09:27):
Yeah, you know what I mean.

Speaker 2 (01:09:28):
And so.

Speaker 5 (01:09:32):
It's never easy.

Speaker 4 (01:09:33):
But you are in a position not only with a
lot of skill and a delightful personality, and you're young
and you're just on your way. But the people who
are telling you this worked yesterday and we're working tomorrow,
so we really know what we're talking about.

Speaker 5 (01:09:54):
And you are precious, Hannah.

Speaker 7 (01:09:57):
Thank you so much, Rob, I really do appreciate that.

Speaker 6 (01:10:00):
I want to interject if I may hear that, I
want to encourage you, Hannah, to continue pursuing this. You're
very good, you really are. Your commercial stuff is excellent.

Speaker 1 (01:10:12):
Yeah, thank you.

Speaker 6 (01:10:14):
And you know, we talked about this, Robin and Will
and I about how one any given day, you may
be able to handle this one thing, and then another
day you're just kind of not good at that one
is not you personally, and so this may not have
been the best day for you.

Speaker 2 (01:10:28):
When we first said hello to you, you seemed kind.

Speaker 6 (01:10:31):
Of down a little or nervous or whatever it seemed
to be affecting you, And of course it is.

Speaker 2 (01:10:37):
But that's part of the gig, is that nervousness and
dealing with that.

Speaker 6 (01:10:41):
And so while I want to encourage you to continue
to take classes, to continue to work tr this, to
find an agent to pursue this work, absolutely, I also
want to suggest to you that you bring with your
talent that absolute desire that you clearly have to do
well yes, so that if someone says, how are you?

(01:11:02):
Let everything else go away and like I'm great and
I'm so happy to be here, okay, and then you
will convince yourself that that is the truth, because it
is you want to be in front of people. And
this is something that I learned about auditioning as an actress,
which was auditions should not be intimidating somebody in this
particular day, Rob Paulson, Will Ferdell and Andrea Romano wanted

(01:11:27):
you to perform for us.

Speaker 2 (01:11:29):
Who is that?

Speaker 1 (01:11:30):
That is the audition you get.

Speaker 2 (01:11:33):
People want you to perform for them, and you got
that down. You really do. You're well on your way.
Keep pursuing it.

Speaker 6 (01:11:41):
Don't be discouraged by the fact that this particular contest,
this particular audition, you didn't come out on top. You
came out really close to aunt, really close. So I
just I don't want you to be sad about this.
You've accomplished quite a bit already, and I encourag you
to continue on and you will succeed more.

Speaker 2 (01:12:02):
And I'm sure we'll be seeing your name years from now.

Speaker 6 (01:12:04):
On various high I think, so virtual work or animation work.

Speaker 2 (01:12:08):
I wish you the very best of luck.

Speaker 1 (01:12:10):
And take these episodes, take the episodes and put together
a real and send them out places you're gonna get
signed by some You're gonna get signed somewhere you are. Yeah,
I mean, it's everything's remote nowadays, so it doesn't matter
where you are. You now have the the reads under
your belt. Again, what Rob said is absolutely right. We've
all heard no or the equivalent of No. One hundred

(01:12:32):
thousand times, So it's uh. And usually it's your number
fifty out of forty eight, it's not your number two
out of forty five hundred. So it's you did You've
you've done really really well. You just to be totally
honest with you, and you know you're going to listen
to this episode and everything. Your fellow competitor today just

(01:12:53):
really crushed. It just had a day. And that's how
we are as actors. You have sometimes when you have
a day, and you have sometimes when you just don't
and you weren't. It wasn't that you were bad at all.
She was phenomenal. That's just how it works sometimes. So
it's just was it just was a day. And I'm I.

(01:13:14):
I know I've said this to you a hundred times
and I've meant it every time and I continue to
mean it. You are going to get signed, you are,
so you somebody, You're gonna sign up with an agency,
and especially I would work a little bit on some
of the voiceover stuff with with just acting, some of
the vo acting stuff. Your ad read. You could start
reading copy tomorrow. No, it's true, it's true. You you're

(01:13:35):
first from your first read, it was you're you're you're
killing it. So yeah, take take improv classes, take some
acting classes. But my guess is you're going to be
signed and doing auditions while you're taking those classes. So
you've done so well, and it's been such an honor
to get to know you. And someday I'm gonna be
able to say I got a chance to meet her

(01:13:56):
one time, and you're gonna you're gonna be accepting some
of You're gonna be like and the day will friedle
because you don't remember how to pronounce it. And that
stupid show he did said no to me was the
day that I went off and started my entire career.
And I don't know where he is right now, but
I think he sold me a hot pretzel on the
street or something last night.

Speaker 11 (01:14:15):
No, it's Bill Waffle.

Speaker 1 (01:14:17):
There you go, perfect, perfect, No, you're really really keep
going because you are. You're such a joy and you're
great and you've I mean again, I cannot stress this enough.
Number two out of forty five hundred people.

Speaker 11 (01:14:30):
That's insane.

Speaker 1 (01:14:34):
So it was so nice me to you. Congratulations, We're
gonna be now once all the show is wrapped, we
can now we weren't legally allowed to like tag all
the contestants and put their last names out there and stuff.
We're now gonna be able to do all that, so
people are gonna know who you are. You're gonna be
able to take all this stuff. You're gonna be able
to make a reel, send it out. Agents are going
to be listening to the stuff. I'm sure that you're
going to be doing well. So congratulations on that. And

(01:14:58):
uh yeah, I know we're going to be seeing you again.

You know, the thing is that because you are so young,
it's clearful. It's easy for us to say you have
natural talent. You actually have nottal. You have not apparently
had many years to study because so I encourage you
to continue to pursue as far as you know.

Speaker 2 (01:18:27):
You've got the opportunity now.

Speaker 6 (01:18:28):
But and I said this oftentimes, which is any actor
can benefit from a good class. Continue to take classes
if you haven't started taking them, start taking classes. Good classes.
There's people out there that want to rip off your
take your money and rip you off. They're good, accredited people.
But study and that's a great way to meet people
and learn what's going on in town and finding out

(01:18:50):
what the popular thing is that's happening then and what
kind of voices people looking for. But I I think
you are well on your way, and I know we're
going to hear great things about you. Congratulations to you.
Well done, you.

to take it and make whatever it is. You won

(01:21:11):
to Mia from Florida, and man, did she earn it today?
What I could anyone else to say? You're going to
be hearing her everywhere. What a phenomenal win she earned it.
An incredible kudos to Hannah, such a worthy Number two
easily could have been her day. It was just one
of those days where Mia came in and was just

(01:21:31):
a buzz sauce. She crushed it. So about we're gonna
be hearing from Hannah as well. I think we all
know that, and well, this is it, everybody. I mean,
I think we wanted to end the show on a
high note and it doesn't get much higher than that.
So I think you've all probably I'll figure it out
by now that we're not just ending the super awesome contest,
but we're ending. I hear voices too. It's been an
incredible run, and I know Christy wishes he was here

(01:21:53):
as well, but we are all onto different stuff and
we want to thank some people very quickly for helping
us out. Of course with the contest, we want to
thank CESD for signing our winner Mia. Man, are they
getting somebody fantastic to add to their roster. We also
want to thank everybody over there at Prime Video who
has helped us out. Go watch season two of the
Legend of Oxmocket. It's available for download now, and of course,

(01:22:15):
as I always say, it's not just because I'm on
it that it's awesome, but it helps. We also want
to thank everybody over there at Critical Role, all of
our friends at iHeart who just made this happen for us.
You are incredible, our producer Lorraine, our engineer Brian, everybody
who has helped to make this possible, because it took
an army of people to really make this national contest huge.
But as for I hear voices, I want to thank

(01:22:38):
my fellow executive producer, Brendan Rooney, who is Christy Carlson
Romano's husband. I want to thank my close friend Christy
Carlson Romano. We started this journey together and I wish
we could have ended it together, but it just didn't
work out that way. She's so busy right now and
she's so bummed. She's been texting me all morning who won,
who won, who won? But we just want to thank
everybody who stuck with us for all of these episodes.

(01:23:00):
You are phenomenal, and we got to show you a
little bit of what the world of voiceover is like.
We couldn't have asked for better fans. You are incredible
people and we just love you if we really do.
I know that word gets thrown around around a lot,
but we talked about it quite a bit about how
just special you all are to us and how you've
made this incredible. So I just want to thank everybody
for joining us. Yeah, not gonna get too sentimental. It's

(01:23:22):
been an incredible ride, and I love this business so
much and I'd love to be able to share it
with everybody. So thank you all, And for the last time,
