Speaker 3 (01:33):
We sure do. Yeah, it's a nice hot day here

But besides all that, we have a great guest for
you guys today we have James Rallison, known as the
odd Ones Out You Got It's a prominent YouTuber, cartoonist, animator, author,
and voice actor, best known for animated storytime videos and
the Netflix series Oddballs. Thank you so much for being here.
(01:55):
Thanks thanks for having me on.
Speaker 4 (01:57):
Uh So, I know I'm the guest on the pod podcast,
but I'm sure you have plenty of questions for me,
but I would love to just ask you some questions about,
like your work as a voice actor and just like
what the industry is like, because a lot of my
voice acting is like by myself. I like just scream
(02:19):
by with no one in my sound booth and like
no one can see, like no one can see me
like descend into madness, you know, as I like just
am talking for an hour at no one.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
And then it wasn't.
Speaker 4 (02:31):
Until I like did stuff for Netflix where I like
got to like actually be in the booth like with
other voice actors and stuff. And I actually I remember
like the first time I was like a little nervous,
right like doing it in front of people. I was like, oh,
I got to do the voice with like a director
like telling me like.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Well, we can tell you're obviously tongue tied, so please continue.
Speaker 4 (02:53):
And there was this one, this one instance at the
in one of the Netflix records where the director was like,
all right, we're gonna need fifteen seconds of this character chewing,
and then the actors like okay, and then just for
fifteen seconds just and then everyone just had to stay
like completely silent because they couldn't like mess up the
(03:15):
take or anything, and we just had to just sit
there just listening for and I just remember thinking like
this has just got to be.
Speaker 5 (03:23):
Like a regular Tuesday for voice actors, isn't it?
Speaker 4 (03:25):
Like it was such a strange feeling for me, So like,
are there any like in times when you were like
in the booth, just like, I can't believe I get
paid to do this, you know.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
Every time? Every time? Yeah, it's the stuff you used
to get me kicked out of class. And so I
learned a lot in the hallway apparently.
Speaker 5 (03:45):
Oh did you always know you were going to be
a voice actor?
Speaker 1 (03:48):
Yeah? Wow, I sure did. Yeah, I said about five
years old night saw mel Blank on TV and thought, oh,
well he's doing fine. I'll do that. Yeah about you?
Speaker 4 (03:58):
Well, I mean like I always So I got my
start making web comics.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
You know.
Speaker 4 (04:04):
It was just I always liked telling jokes with my
art and then showing them to people. So I, you know,
created a web comic on this website called Tumbler, don't
you know?
Speaker 1 (04:13):
Sure?
Speaker 5 (04:13):
And uh I got pretty big there.
Speaker 4 (04:16):
And I remember like, while I was working on the comics,
I would like watch other YouTube videos while I worked,
and I remember just thinking like I could do that.
So then I transitioned over from comics to YouTube, and
my very first video it's still up on the internet
to this day. But I just had like a terrible
like voice presenting what I you know, I just I
(04:38):
had the script written out. I wrote it out on
paper too. That was another thing, and I just like,
oh man, sorry, I'm going on a rant here, but
like yeah, my very first sound booth. Sound booth was
like my my bedroom closet and I did yeah yeah everybody,
and like I got the like foam but you know,
(05:00):
it was like foam pads that you put over your bed.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
I like like the egg cartons.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
Yeah, I like.
Speaker 4 (05:04):
Stapled it to the wall. And there's even like one
point I was like, hunch. I didn't have a pop filter,
so I had to like talk at an angle. Right then,
I like learned about what pop filters. Anyways, my first video,
I feel like I totally butchered just my speaking voice.
And like how I like told this story was this.
I still cringe at it, just going oh yeah. So
(05:26):
you know those books you make in elementary school, you know,
like I'm trying to be all casual, but like when
it's just a cartoon, people can't see your your facial expressions.
You kind of you know this you have a little
over animated and yeah, well too much is just barely enough?
Speaker 3 (05:45):
Yeah, yeah, exactly. I'm curious. So, are you, like self
taught on all this stuff or did you go to
some kind of you know, did you get some schooling.
Did you go to college?
Speaker 4 (05:54):
Yeah no, I didn't know. I didn't go to art
college or voice acting college. My parents are really supportive,
like animation. Yeah, yeah. Well so I was making these
cartoons in my bedroom. My parents were like, that's cool,
but you know, get a real job, and I said, okay, fine,
So I actually went to school to My major was
(06:16):
math education because.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
I thought being a.
Speaker 4 (06:18):
Math teacher seems fun. I could probably make that work
and do cartoons on the side. But then while I
was in college, my YouTube kicked off started making a
whole lot of money, and I just stopped going to
my classes because it's like, would I rather go to
my classes and do math homework or stay in my
dorm and then make YouTube videos?
Speaker 3 (06:37):
And it all worked.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
It was an easy decision.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
Yeah, And so like all the while, I'm assuming you're
getting more proficient and animating and all this stuff, So like,
are you teaching yourself or learning trial by trial and error?
I guess.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (06:49):
It was a lot of trial by error, yeah, error ya, figuring.
Speaker 5 (06:53):
Out what works what doesn't work for me.
Speaker 4 (06:57):
A lot of my voices it's just me though, It's
just like my character, my little like bubble boy that
is still like supposed to be a representation of me.
So when I was doing stuff for Netflix again, it
was still like just my voice. And then they had
me do a couple of voices for different characters. But
I feel like every time I did a different character,
(07:19):
it still sounded like me, you know.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
So I that's common.
Speaker 4 (07:23):
I was gonna say, like, is that like there's a
lot of like voice actors where it's like you can
tell who they are, but there's still like talented enough
to like play all these different characters.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
Oh yeah, yeah yeah, well mel blankhead that I feel
like you have that too, right because you have you
have like all these villains and also have Winnie the Pooh,
the well every now and then, somebody's gonna bleed over
a little bit. What are you gonna do this?
Speaker 5 (07:45):
I actually have a question for you, miss Can I
call you mister Cummings?
Speaker 1 (07:49):
Jim's good old what's his name, mister.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
Good old Jim? So yeah, you, I was, I'm I won't.
I don't know I phrase this. There's this.
Speaker 4 (08:00):
I feel like there's a phenomenon sometimes where voice actors
voice two characters, and the two characters will be in
a scene together and they like interact and it's one
voice actor doing two different characters. You've had to do
that with Winnie the Pooh and Tigger all the time?
Speaker 1 (08:15):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (08:16):
Was that like hard to like switch between characters or
did you have to like record one character and then.
Speaker 5 (08:21):
Go to the other character.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Well, I used to do them both one one read
after the other. But once in a blue moon, I
would catch myself bleeding over, you know, so to speak,
and Pooh would say, well, hold on, hold on, excuse me,
you know, and I had a little Tigger in there
and it was a little too much bounce for Pooh,
and so I just did them separately.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
Yeah, but that's how I have to do it.
Speaker 4 (08:48):
Even for my videos, I have to, like I do
these shorts, and sometimes like the shorts, there's like different characters.
It's still like my voice, but I'll have to like
record every character's voice like in one section and then
like I have to like switch gears to another section
and I've doing the Netflix show. I got to see
like voice actors that would like just read a line
(09:12):
and like switch between the characters like on the same page.
And I remember like like looking away from my computer
and being like, oh, yeah, two people are talking and
then I like look up and it's just one person
being crazy and having a conversation.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
It helps to be a little crazy, No, it absolutely does.
Speaker 4 (09:31):
Like I voice acting, like on the surface, it's just
doing silly voices, but like it's doing silly voices with
a purpose. I don't know if I'm making sense and do.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
Silly voices well, yeah, silly voices.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
Well.
Speaker 4 (09:46):
And it's also like you have to I saw this
like one documentary you might have been in it about
it was called like I know that voice? Oh yeah,
we were in it, and I remember there was one
voice actor that was like anyone can do a Bugs
Bunny impression, going yeah, what's up, doc? But it's like,
can you do Bugs Bunny getting electrocuted? Can you do
(10:07):
Bugs Bunny?
Speaker 5 (10:08):
Like having like oh shure, yeah, so like doing.
Speaker 4 (10:11):
Like all the different variations and everything. Yeah, So you
really have to like know the character and like, yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Well that that's my philosophy too. You know, people will say, hey,
you want to hear my Tigger trigger pretty good? Huh?
And I go, oh, it's amazing, you know, but you
really have to do I mean, Tigger would never do Hamlet,
but he would have to get through a paragraph occasionally
here and there. And you have to be able to
sustain it. And and a lot of acting is reacting,
(10:36):
you know, the line before you informs what you're about
to say.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
Absolutely, you have to you know, get into both mindsets.
But I've done that. I've you know, I've Uh. There
was a character Bonkers, and I played Bonkers, and I
played his human sidekick, Lucky picul and we invented a
weight for them to argue with each other and overlap.
And I would just do all of the Bonkers lines
in my and play the Lucky pequel lines in my head.
Speaker 5 (11:02):
So you would like play off yourself.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
Yeah, and then they would play back the Bonkers lines,
and then I would I would say, no, that's not
what I'm will you will you shut up and let
me talk, you know, And those gaps right there.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
Were bonkers like so you could hear it, yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
And well I had it in my head and then
we'd do one, then do the other, and then they'd
put them both together and it sounded like two people,
but they were overlapping naturally.
Speaker 4 (11:29):
Yeah, the way that the people did, the way the editors.
That's something that for for my videos, I do all
the sound editing myself, which, like I said, I I
record by myself. You know, just go into the spiraling madness,
just screaming.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
Would you say you're a perfectionist a little bit?
Speaker 4 (11:51):
When I like record my lines, I was about to
explain something that's probably super obvious to you, but like, please,
when I when I record my lines, I try of
like when I do a new take, I try to
enunciate or enunciate like a different word, or like try
and like say things differently because break it up and
exactly so many times, so many times I'll do a
(12:11):
line and then I'll be like, let's do another one
just for safety, and then I'll just say the exact
same thing in the exact same way, and it's like,
what do we what do we do waste?
Speaker 3 (12:19):
Are we?
Speaker 1 (12:20):
Yeah? Okay, we're safe?
Speaker 3 (12:22):
Yeah exactly. Well, there's a lot of that what uh
when when you like, how do I want to say that?
Speaker 4 (12:30):
How do you, I guess, like prepare for a role?
Do you kind of I guess you've been doing it
for so long? Do you do you have like a
system or do you just get in there, get your
lines and then just knock it out of the park
because you're a genius.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
Mostly knock it out of the park. No. In fact,
we just did three uh Mickey Mouse Clubhouse this morning.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
Oh wow.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
And and I don't as far as you know, rehearsing.
I like to I like the first take. I like
to record the first take the first time I'm reading it.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
Oh yeah, And.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
Because something will pop into your head. You know, if
it works, it works, and if it doesn't, it doesn't.
And that's and it you can it's all digital now,
you don't even not even wasting tape. Yeah, so you know,
if it works, it works, if it doesn't, it doesn't.
And every now and then you find a little gemstone
like that.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
Are you a big ad libber?
Speaker 1 (13:22):
Yeah? I add lib a lot. And the trick to
ad libing is it has to be in character and
it has to serve the scene. A lot of people
will add live for the sake of ad living, and
then it's kind of like slows the story down. Now, Okay,
well what were we doing. Oh, that's right, we're looking
for the dog who fell down the well or whatever.
You know that you got to get back to the storyline.
So as long as you're ad living in character and
serving the story, yeah, that's the key.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
Okay, that's you know, That's that's what I do too.
Speaker 4 (13:46):
I'll like write up a whole script and then go like,
all right, script's great, and then in the booth, I'm like,
I could say it this way.
Speaker 5 (13:53):
It sounds clunky if I say it this way.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
So oh yeah, it's voice acting something you're looking to
pursue more of. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (13:59):
I have a lot of fun doing the silly voices.
Speaker 4 (14:01):
But again, I always feel like my voices still just
sound like me though, you know, like I.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
Yeah, that's not bad. I mean, that's it's good to
have a signature sound.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
Yeah. One of my favorite examples of that is his
name is not coming to me right now, but he
plays Bob and Bob's Burgers. Oh yes, yea, and everything
he's in it's just like the same the same voice,
same voice. Yeah, and he makes it worse a really
unique voice. That's so true.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
Yeah, yeah, he's got that sort of yeah.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
And Archer yeah Cher, Bob's Big Boys.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
Yeah, I forget what Bob's Burgers. Bob's Big Boy that's
an actual place.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
Yeah, yeah, that's why it's on your mind.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
There you goin, folks, tell us his name quickly. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (15:00):
So this is this is something that I wanted to
ask you, which is kind of crazy. I'm going to
like ask you in person. I probably could look this up.
But were you the singing voice of Rasputin in Anastasia?
Speaker 1 (15:15):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (15:15):
I knew it.
Speaker 4 (15:16):
Every time that comes on, I'm always like, and he sings,
I'm like this this Jim Cummings.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
Oh wow, yeah, yeah that's me. Yeah, I'm pretty sure
I was credited.
Speaker 3 (15:25):
Sure.
Speaker 5 (15:25):
Like I said, I probably shove it up. Yeah, just
every time I watch it better be.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
So yeah.
Speaker 5 (15:31):
Do you have you like done musicals before?
Speaker 3 (15:33):
Like, do you sing ah tons?
Speaker 1 (15:34):
Yeah? Yeah yeah so most of my life that's I
started doing that as soon as anything else. I played
drums and I was always in a band, you know,
as a kid, late grade, like junior high, and then
all through high school and then after high school, when
I first moved to New Orleans, I was in a
band that actually made money, So that was a rarity.
(15:55):
That was a new thing. But I was always the
singer and the drummer.
Speaker 5 (16:00):
You've just always been working with sound and audio.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
Yeah, yeah, I guess so I was accidentally yeah, yeah,
accidentally doing research and and you know the band that
I was in New Orleans that was very good. We
all our goal was to make it sound like the
record was playing if we could do that. So as
a result, you know, it could be a Rolling Stone
song or uh, you know, Almond Brothers or whoever, whoever
(16:24):
it was. You know, we wanted to sound like the record.
So that meant I had to kind of twist my
pipes around a little bit. And and again it was like,
you know, practice for my future gigs.
Speaker 3 (16:38):
Yeah, and so yeah, the pipes going on.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
Yeah, yeah, it worked out.
Speaker 4 (16:44):
Do you are there any like again, sorry that I'm
like asking you these questions. Are there any like specific
characters that you like playing, like villains for example?
Speaker 1 (16:54):
Well, villains are fun. They had a lot of fun.
You know Pete, like Pete the Cat, He's he's not
really a villain, but he's here to.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
Provide freak exactly.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
And bad guys have a lot of fun, so you know,
as you know resputing and I will say that bad
guys get really good songs.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, villain songs are the best.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
Yeah, be prepared from Lyon King. But I was also
Powatan from uh in Pocahontas and that was a very
beautiful song as the river cuts his bath.
Speaker 3 (17:24):
That's right.
Speaker 5 (17:25):
It is just like reminded of all these things in
my childhood.
Speaker 3 (17:28):
Were you a Disney fan? Oh? I was.
Speaker 5 (17:30):
We had all the VHS's.
Speaker 3 (17:31):
Yeah yeah yeah.
Speaker 5 (17:32):
Did you guys know what a VHS is?
Speaker 3 (17:34):
I don't know. I do. Would you say that inspired
you to be an animator?
Speaker 5 (17:39):
Oh no, definitely, like because all the all the movies that.
Speaker 4 (17:42):
I watched growing up were just animated movies, so I
guess I was more drawn to the drawings. And all
the books that I read too, were like like comic
books like The Far Side and Cold and Hobbs.
Speaker 3 (17:53):
I heard you say that growing up you were only
allowed to watch as much TV as you read time
spent time reading books do that to do my research?
Speaker 4 (18:02):
That was that was the rule in our house that
we could only I think it was like to go
on the computer if you wanted to go on the
computer for thirty minutes, you had to read for thirty minutes. Yeah,
and then I would I would just read comic books
and then my mom was reading.
Speaker 3 (18:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (18:14):
My mom was like that counts, it's fine, and I
was like nice. So yeah, I got to like and
then I was I was probably like twelve years old
when I was like in school and I was bored,
and I just started making these little stick for your
comics and then passing them out to my friends and.
Speaker 3 (18:28):
That that like doing great.
Speaker 4 (18:30):
Yeah, doing that kind of like really taught me like
how to like structure a joke and like how to
you know, make things entertaining with just a small amount
of lines, you know. So yeah, I've always been like
wanting to entertain people with my my art, my drawings.
Speaker 3 (18:45):
You know.
Speaker 4 (18:46):
He's never trying to like paint the Mona Lisa or anything.
I was sure making little doodles.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
Did you do that flip book thing?
Speaker 3 (18:51):
Oh? All the time.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
And I used to do it and make the arrow
follow itself around the page.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
Oh darrow, Yeah, the.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
Arrow and an arrow like that, you know, just like do.
Speaker 3 (19:03):
Do do do do do do do do do.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
As you flip?
Speaker 4 (19:06):
Well, for me, it was like a ball bouncing. I
would start then like as it was going down, it
would like stretch. When I hit the ground, it would
stretch the other way. I thought I was so smart
when I.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
Invented Oh that's right, Yeah you were.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
Yeah I was. I was like, no one's thought of
this before.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
You're not gonna believe this. That's really cool. So so
you had the advantage of knowing which target you were
aiming at at a very early age.
Speaker 3 (19:30):
Yeah, I guess.
Speaker 4 (19:31):
I guess, well, right, I just like doing it, you know,
I just and it totally makes sense that I like
put my stuff on the internet because like sharing my
comics was like a big part of it, you know,
it's like why I made them. So many like artists
have like their sketch book and like going through it
is like a big no not it's.
Speaker 3 (19:49):
Like their diary, you know. Yeah. But like for me,
I was you know, I would just be like, hey, everyone,
look at this comic I made. Don't you think it's funny?
Speaker 4 (19:56):
And then seeing the smile on their face would make
it all worth it, you know.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (20:01):
But yeah, Like but voice acting though, I think I just,
like I said, trial and error, just how to like
find my voice.
Speaker 3 (20:08):
So to speak.
Speaker 4 (20:09):
Uh, and you've been doing it enough where it's like
I do.
Speaker 5 (20:15):
I do my I guess I do a YouTube voice,
you know.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (20:19):
So okay, so okay.
Speaker 4 (20:23):
So right at the stage right now, I knew it
was only a matter of time before I brought up
the video that I'm working on right now, which is
about Warrior Cats.
Speaker 5 (20:32):
Do you know what?
Speaker 3 (20:33):
Warrior Cats?
Speaker 1 (20:34):
Warrior Cats.
Speaker 3 (20:34):
We don't have to get into it, that's all we do.
Ye let me okay.
Speaker 4 (20:39):
Warrior Cats is a book series that follows the society
of feral cats who live in these groups that are
kind of a mix between a gang and a cult.
While they are considered kids books, I will say Warrior
Cats is less fun time happy cat adventures and more
watership down.
Speaker 3 (20:56):
So like that's you don't do a lot of cuts
in it. So you don't do a lot of cuts.
That is that's a little sneak.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
You didn't have it down on pat. That's you were
really struggling there to get that.
Speaker 3 (21:07):
That's really funny. That's really funny how that like subtle
little like tone shifts. It brings me right into your videos,
you know, because obviously over the years, like I've seen
your videos, like obviously yeah, because I'm just talking right now.
Speaker 4 (21:20):
But then when I do the YouTube voice, so yeah,
that's funny how that little like exactly.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
That was a really weird experience for me because most
of the time we have voice actors on here, you know,
and like their shift in voice is so like drastic
and yours is like so subtle, but then it still
brings me to another place like right, yeah, oh yeah,
I know that voice from these videos.
Speaker 4 (21:39):
I've like done shorts before where it's like still it's
like I have two people that are voiced by me
talking and I don't really like change up the voice
too much. Like I'll have like Google Maps, like personified
sitting in a passenger seat and then me just like
arguing with Google Maps, and like it's I'm not doing,
like like I said, the crazy different boy, but I
(22:00):
still have to make them sound like they're two characters,
you know.
Speaker 3 (22:02):
And then I think to speak on that. I think
that's where you're talent as an animator comes in too,
to be able to differentiate. So the voice doesn't really
matter that much because the animation itself is telling the
story exactly.
Speaker 4 (22:13):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's The thing is that, like anytime
I look at the script or like just listen to
the audio, I have to remind myself, like there's going
to be pictures to this, so I have to imagine,
like what's going to be shown when the pictures are there.
Speaker 3 (22:26):
That's really interesting. Yeahah, I'm sure you know all about
voice and cartoons.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
Well a little bit, yeah, a little.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
Bit can that?
Speaker 5 (22:33):
Can I ask you a voice acting question?
Speaker 1 (22:36):
Yes?
Speaker 4 (22:36):
Was there ever a line that you just couldn't get
right and you just struggled with it constantly for like
years to come?
Speaker 1 (22:45):
Boyesh, I don't think so. Oh yeah, you know I
I it reminds me of a story of my sweet
friend Rusie Taylors for many years. She's no longer with us,
but she did this. There was a long time. Oh gosh,
(23:06):
this'd be like twenty five years ago. There were these
toys that talking Mother Goose, talking Teddy ruxman. It was
a Teddy Bear where those people came out with the
mother Goose story and Russy got the job of being
Mother Goose and she was wonderful and there was some
and she was I think, yeah, it was the it
(23:27):
was the princess and the frog. But it wasn't with
the frog Prince. I'm sorry. The Princess and the progue
was a movie, but the Frog Prince, and it's where
the princess had to kiss the frog to turn him
back into a prince. And there was a line in
there where where the princess learned finally that oh, my gosh,
this this energetic little frog is actually a prince and
(23:49):
if I kiss him, you know, he'll turn into a prince.
And then then she and then she gets to be
a princess and a queen. Oh, the king and queen,
and so she's going.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
And so it was that she leaned over and kissed
the little green frog right on the tip.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
Of his little green and then she could get she
could get. She just started howling out laughter. She goes,
I really want to say, Penis, I'm sorry. I'm terribly sorry.
Speaker 4 (24:26):
But that's another thing that I've like learned about voice actors.
Especially when you're in the booth. You just the wildest
things get said, you know, yes, like I want to
get too crazy here, but like like you do, yeah, absolutely,
especially with me because it's just me and there so
(24:47):
no one can like we'll ever hear I said this earlier,
but I'm only sort of joking that, like spiral and madness,
just like screaming into a booth.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
Uh yeah.
Speaker 3 (24:57):
Do you still, like even today, just do everything yourself
or do you have like a team, oh.
Speaker 4 (25:01):
For for voiceover and like sound, Like it's it's all me,
like writing the script, doing the voices, and then editing
the audio and then when that's all done, then I
send that off to storyboarders and background artists and animators
and stuff.
Speaker 3 (25:13):
Gotcha.
Speaker 4 (25:14):
I used to have someone edit the audio, but it
just was faster if I did it because like I knew, like,
all right, this is the this take took me forever,
you know, like the timing exactly. Yeah, yeah, and yeah
it's editing audio. It's Editing audio is like one of
my least favorite things in the video making process, because
like I can't listen to anything in the background, right,
(25:36):
you know, I have to like just focus on I know,
and just and then like it's to a point where
I'm like this isn't funny anymore, so I have to
like step away from it.
Speaker 5 (25:44):
And you get too close to exactly.
Speaker 4 (25:47):
Yeah. Yeah, there was speaking of having lines that you
just couldn't get right. There was one line that I
did in a video. I was trying to explain the
context of this would take too much time, but the
line was, who wouldn't want to drop out of a
Muggle public school and live in a castle with a
bunch of soft British boys?
Speaker 1 (26:09):
So I wow?
Speaker 3 (26:10):
And but like I had to do it in the YouTube.
Boys yeah, And I was like.
Speaker 4 (26:13):
Who wouldn't want to drop out of a Muggle public
It's still haunting me. Who wouldn't want to drop out
of them? I keep trying to say drop out out
of a which is like, I don't think that's the right.
Who wouldn't want to drop out of a Muggle public
school and live in whatever?
Speaker 5 (26:28):
We don't have to get cut that out on the
public school? Yes, you know Harry Potter?
Speaker 1 (26:32):
Right? Oh? Sure, yeah, damn Muggles.
Speaker 3 (26:38):
So what's it feel like? How tell us the story
of how Netflix approaches you for this show?
Speaker 4 (26:44):
Oh, they didn't approach me. I had to we like,
oh so you saw it after it?
Speaker 5 (26:47):
I was gonna yeah, we like had to pitch it
around and stuff.
Speaker 3 (26:52):
So who else did you speak with in order to
try and get this done?
Speaker 4 (26:56):
I feel like I'm allowed to say this at this point, right,
we like we pitched to like Nickelodeon and Knee and
then there's also this other place called.
Speaker 5 (27:03):
Gumand who you know gumand uh and.
Speaker 4 (27:08):
The very first people we pitched to they said, like,
no one's ever gonna want to work with a YouTuber
is just like not right, And I was like, oh geez,
I just wasted a whole lot of time with making
this bible.
Speaker 3 (27:19):
Then, you know.
Speaker 4 (27:21):
But then uh, we pitched it to Netflix. Am I
alone to say we pitched a Netflix, sure? And then
Netflix was like, We'll only do it if bubble Boy
is in it, and I was like, well, bubble Boy
is supposed to be me, James Rallison. This is supposed
to be like its own character, like in a world
and everything. And the Netflix was like, we want bubble Boy,
and I said, okay, fine, so then we uh so
(27:43):
we did. We did bubble Boy and like bubble Boy's
voice by me and it's just like my voice is it?
Speaker 3 (27:48):
Like is it like a Marvel type deal where they
have to license the character himself?
Speaker 4 (27:53):
It was something like that, like they had to yeah,
like license the character and yeah, that was like a
whole other thing thing too that like, yeah, and so
I basically got to like keep the rights to Bubble Boy.
Speaker 5 (28:05):
But then you know, they got pretty much everything else.
Speaker 3 (28:07):
Yeah, that's fine.
Speaker 5 (28:08):
I love bubble Boy.
Speaker 3 (28:11):
Do you remember that movie bubble Boy?
Speaker 5 (28:13):
It was that the Adam Sandler one?
Speaker 3 (28:15):
Was it Adam Sandler? Well, I remember there was Remember
he was playing a bubble. I'm probably thinking of water Boy.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
John Travolta did one where he was he had no
immune system and he was.
Speaker 3 (28:27):
A bubble the whole time.
Speaker 5 (28:28):
Wasn't Wasn't that based off of a real thing?
Speaker 3 (28:31):
I think probably probably some extreme.
Speaker 5 (28:33):
Leave your comments about your favorite bubble Boy in the comment.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
Boy, and do we did we not? Is this not working?
I forgot?
Speaker 3 (28:40):
It's not working today.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
Okay, because we have a logo here.
Speaker 3 (28:43):
We have to we have to get good old maintenance
on that, you know.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
But you're on the right place, folks, you're here.
Speaker 3 (28:49):
We're here on the podcast.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
Yes.
Speaker 4 (28:53):
If you you had to work with voice directors pretty
much your whole career, right, So when I was like
doing stuff with with NETFLI, it was like the first
time I was working with the voice director and he
was very funny.
Speaker 5 (29:04):
His name was Gene and he.
Speaker 4 (29:06):
Would always like, like, let's say the line was like, huh,
how'd that get there? He'd be like, all right, imagine
you just killed someone and you hit the body in
your trunk and then you're driving me to the woods
and then the police pull you over and then you
open the trunk and you go, huh, how'd that get there?
And I'd be like, all right, Geen, yeah, let me
pull from that experience. So he would always like have
(29:28):
just like the most wildest examples, and I'd be like, okay,
and then there's one time.
Speaker 1 (29:34):
So you wake up on marsh okay exactly.
Speaker 4 (29:36):
There was one time I had to do like a
sad line where I was talking to a toaster. But
it was like I had to say something sad and
they were like, they were like, imagine you're talking to your.
Speaker 5 (29:46):
Dog who's dying.
Speaker 4 (29:47):
And I was like okay, and then like I still
couldn't get it, and They're like, now imagine you're holding
your dead dog and.
Speaker 1 (29:54):
I was like, oh God, do I have to?
Speaker 3 (29:58):
I don't know, Like that's just acting, isn't it.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
You know, Yeah, I guess.
Speaker 5 (30:01):
So that's how you get into character, you know.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
It's like that old Dustin Hoffman thing when he was
making Marathon Man stayed up all night to look like
he was being tortured, and Sir Lourence Olivier said, what
are you doing? You look like shit. He goes, well,
I wanted to make it look like I was being
tortured all night by this Nazi dentist, which he was,
and he goes, oh my boy, you should try acting.
So there you go, let's try acting.
Speaker 3 (30:25):
Yeah. Do you get the part?
Speaker 1 (30:28):
Yeah? Yeah, well he did. Yeah, and he also got
holes drilled in his teeth.

dot com slash Jim Ming's podcast Do It Now. So,
what what is your favorite part of all of this
business that you're in? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (31:09):
Yeah, I think finishing a video and just finally being
able to just like send it free into the world.
Speaker 1 (31:18):
Is that hard for you because a lot of us
keep going I could. I could do that. I could,
I could.
Speaker 4 (31:24):
I was literally gonna like when people draw a picture,
like very often they have a hard time like finishing
it whenever they're like, oh, I can just add this,
do this, And every time I try to like set
like a loose schedule for myself where I'm like I'm
going to post on Saturday, which means I needed to
get this done by Monday.
Speaker 3 (31:44):
This done by Tuesday.
Speaker 4 (31:46):
And then I, like, I really I realized a pattern
with like my upload schedule that like the day before
I would always be like crunching to finish the video.
I'd always be like staying up super late just like
getting everything like put together. And I kept thinking, like
why do I still like how is this like still
a problem. And I realized it's because I'm like always
(32:06):
adding in these extra little bits, like oh I can
add a little drop shadow here, and oh I.
Speaker 3 (32:10):
Can add a little sound effect here.
Speaker 4 (32:12):
So just before I post, I'm just always like putting
in the final touches and everything. But then once it's
done and I can just look back at it on
my my garden or whatever, then I can just like
it's honestly just like letting it off into the world
and let people enjoy it. So I think, yeah, finishing
the video is always my favorite part.
Speaker 3 (32:34):
What about what about you? Yeah, what's your favorite part?
Speaker 1 (32:37):
Oh? Well, I like this podcast. No, I still I
still enjoy you know what I do. I just did
a couple of a couple three Mickey Mouse clubhouses this morning.
Speaker 5 (32:48):
Are there ever times where you have to like go
into a booth and they're.
Speaker 4 (32:53):
Hey, mister, well, how are your kids? All right, Well,
we're gonna need three seconds of you screaming.
Speaker 1 (33:00):
Like, oh sure, yeah, we do those at the end.
Oh yeah, of course, Yeah, that's that's just my thing.
In fact, when we were doing Tasmania, because Taz Tasmanian devil,
he's all screaming mostly yeah, and you can quote me,
but you know, I would say, okay, well let's do
(33:21):
this but Friday afternoons. Yeah, because that way you get
the yeah, you get the weekend.
Speaker 3 (33:27):
Now I get that. I would also, uh, it was
so funny.
Speaker 4 (33:31):
Like the only like industry experience I have with boys
adding is just with Netflix.
Speaker 5 (33:36):
So you probably it's not bad.
Speaker 4 (33:38):
You probably have like a lot more like a crazier
stories than what I'm about to say. But like I
just remember there was a scene where I like, legit
had to like scream at the top of.
Speaker 3 (33:47):
My lungs you're a slob to someone.
Speaker 4 (33:50):
And like so just I'm yelling at this person you're
a slob, and just like seeing her like unchanging reaction
just like yep.
Speaker 3 (33:58):
This is what is That's what I'm a slob. Yeah,
And I don't know.
Speaker 4 (34:03):
It was just like yeah, I like we did it
over zoom and I could like hear my voice like
through her headphones.
Speaker 3 (34:10):
Was that loud? You know?
Speaker 1 (34:11):
Oh wow?
Speaker 3 (34:12):
So it was yeah.
Speaker 4 (34:14):
But I like, are there ever times where you had
to like say a very crazy line and you were
just like, oh man, this is the way, Like I
don't know, like like were you like a an alien
and you're like the thesorbit trobs are attacking the disepticons
or something.
Speaker 5 (34:32):
You get to say it like super earnestly or something.
Speaker 1 (34:35):
Oh, some absolutely ridiculous lines super earnestly. Yeah, Oh god,
I think that's all I do. I don't know that
I ever do anything.
Speaker 3 (34:42):
Up but that that's so true.
Speaker 1 (34:44):
You know. Gosh, there are something will there comes to mind.
There were I think they were coyotes and there were
a couple of coyotes sneaking up on something. I want
to say it was an old Goofy cart tune or
Mickey mouseen and the one they decided they were all
hillbilly coyote. Well, dad, I don't know nothing that that
(35:07):
ain't none of mine. It must be urine. And uh
and I urine. Yeah, it was supposed to none of mine.
It must be yurine. So I was trying to sneak
it past to see if and of course they caught me,
like they animated it, and they go, we can't do this.
It must be urine. Well it's it's a hillbilly thing.
(35:30):
So they maybe changed it to yours yours. It must
be mine, must be yours yours? And then I said,
piss on it? How many times?
Speaker 4 (35:40):
How many times does like a director or executive like
I have to pull back from a joke that you
ac turned on or something, or like thunder that's interesting.
Speaker 3 (35:52):
It's them rolling the dumpster, I think, not very nice.
Oh yeah, it's trash.
Speaker 1 (35:57):
And you guys were here for us.
Speaker 3 (35:59):
We did under what Yeah two weekends ago, you were
in Houston yesterday.
Speaker 5 (36:04):
Right, did you hear?
Speaker 3 (36:05):
Were you there?
Speaker 4 (36:06):
Like crazy weather? We're having there was like thundering, but
it was like still Sonny out, am I crazy?
Speaker 3 (36:11):
Or they might be.
Speaker 5 (36:14):
Maybe someone fact checked me on.
Speaker 4 (36:18):
What were we We're talking about voices and doing something.
We're talking about thunder yeah, oh no, the dumpster dumpster?
Speaker 3 (36:24):
But before that, how are we doing?
Speaker 4 (36:28):
Hey, leave a comment about what your favorite part of
this podcast was.
Speaker 3 (36:31):
Yes, I want to know as a YouTuber with over
twenty million subscribers on YouTube, which is just crazy to me,
like this, yes, congratulations, that has to be and you
probably know this, like right off the top of your head,
like that has to compare viewer wise to like primetime television,
right or more?
Speaker 1 (36:48):
You know, that's a good question.
Speaker 4 (36:50):
I think so many like starting YouTubers, like we'll focus
on the numbers too much.
Speaker 3 (36:57):
But I'm gonna I'm gonna rebut that, okay because I
have a follow up question, But go on, I think
the Dumpster's all done now.
Speaker 4 (37:04):
Yeah, No, it's definitely like especially like my my earlier videos.
I don't know if you saw my sewer Boy series.
A lot of people like the seu Boy series. Of course,
I feel like that's like the Yeah, it's like people
see me and They're like you're the suol boy guy,
and I'm like, you know, but like yeah, being like
(37:25):
looking back and just seeing like how big some of
those videos got, I was just like, whoa. I feel
like even at the at the time, I didn't realize
how ginormous of an audience this was. Yeah, and now it's, uh,
it's it's not as what what it was used to
be here everything, but like it's you know, still their
(37:47):
videos are doing well enough and I'm able to like
support myself. Ye, but yeah, I mean what was the
question again, just like, isn't that a crazy amount?
Speaker 3 (37:54):
Yeah? It was a lot. Well, yeah, I was. I
was comparing it to primetime television and like, you know,
just the number of eyes because I think, you know,
even I'm in my mid thirties and it's still like
a relatively new thing to me. You've been around, you know,
YouTube for over a decade, correct, Yeah, posting on YouTube,
so you've seen like from the you know, almost a
whole well, definitely a whole different era of YouTubers at
(38:15):
that time. Like I remember like Jena Marbles and like
there was a whole different personalities since retired and then now,
you know, a whole new era of YouTubers.
Speaker 4 (38:24):
Like YouTube is constantly going through changes and eras and
stuff like anytime they do something to the algorithm, or
they like you know, have like a monetization thing, or
even like sponsorships being like more common, they like elevated
all these like medium sized channels to be able to
do it full time.
Speaker 3 (38:40):
So like, and how do you navigate through all that?
Speaker 4 (38:43):
How do you navigate through it? So I'm definitely not
the right person to be talking to about.
Speaker 3 (38:48):
This, because you are.
Speaker 4 (38:52):
I just make the videos that I would want to
watch there, and there are times where I'll have an idea,
but then I think, I don't think people are gonna
watch that idea, you know. Like so they're just kind
of like you have to find this like balance of
like what do I want to talk about and what
(39:13):
will people find entertaining?
Speaker 3 (39:15):
You know. But you do also make an effort to
get your face out there as well.
Speaker 5 (39:19):
Yeah, I've shown my face a couple of times.
Speaker 3 (39:21):
Yeah, it's and like you did that that boxing match
with them.
Speaker 4 (39:25):
I had a whole there's a whole thing there was
actually we were supposed to be doing a second one
like this year. Oh man, how much time do we have,
whatever you have, it's just the person who had who
ran the event. It was in some controversies regarding the
Palestine Israel conflict, and then like more just internet drama happened,
(39:49):
and then the the like switched ownerships to like a
new person. But then they they were telling me that
it was just like a constant uphill battle to like
get people to be excited for this event.
Speaker 5 (40:01):
So then they just ended up canceling it.
Speaker 4 (40:03):
And I did all this boxing training for for nothing pretty.
Speaker 5 (40:07):
Much, and but I got in good.
Speaker 4 (40:10):
I wasn't I'm not like super bummed about it because
I didn't get into pretty decent shape.
Speaker 3 (40:15):
What was the motivation to do it in the first place?
The motivator, it strikes like, I mean, I know nothing
about you, but it seems like a very like off. Absolutely.
I think it was.
Speaker 4 (40:26):
Not knowing exactly what I was getting into for the
most part was it was a big part of it.
But it was when covid started. I started taking like
working out, I started working out more seriously when covid started.
And then uh, this this YouTuber reached out to me
and was like, Hey, I'm doing a boxing event and
I was like, hey, I'm healthy, let's do it again,
(40:49):
not knowing.
Speaker 3 (40:50):
Were you familiar with his videos before him? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (40:53):
Yeah, yeah, I was totally familiar. I'd like met him
before and everything, okay, and then you know things, you
get in the ring, the adrenaline happens, and you know,
you get knocked out in like ninety seconds.
Speaker 3 (41:06):
So but voice acting, though, is.
Speaker 1 (41:09):
A lot of fun.
Speaker 3 (41:11):
You rarely get knocked out exactly. Yeah, yeah, you just I'm.
Speaker 1 (41:16):
Yeah, did you notice that smooth segue?
Speaker 3 (41:20):
I just I don't know if that's Did you ever
boxed before.
Speaker 1 (41:24):
Jim only when I was a kid, Yeah yeah.
Speaker 3 (41:27):
Yeah, Well I know Jim is a big boxing fan.
Yeah fan, Yeah really, but everybody kept.
Speaker 1 (41:34):
I kept gaining weight but not getting any taller, so
everybody was reaching me from across the room. I go,
oh with this, I'm getting in a band.
Speaker 3 (41:41):
Yeah you know, it's I don't know.
Speaker 4 (41:43):
I definitely I like working out and I like going
to the gym, which you don't see a lot of
animators doing that.
Speaker 3 (41:51):
I'm I'm trying to be the change.
Speaker 1 (41:54):
Ah, right, that's awesome.
Speaker 3 (41:57):
Yeah, what else is like highlighted all that?
Speaker 1 (42:00):
Let's see Yeah, that's right. We look at this. Look
what we have. Well, we've got the mister Beast to
YouTube battering Roy at battle.
Speaker 4 (42:08):
Yeah that do you know what we were the YouTuber
mister Beast is I think?
Speaker 5 (42:12):
So that's wow cool. I've been in two of his videos.
Speaker 1 (42:17):
Oh yeah, yeah, I haven't seen them all.
Speaker 3 (42:19):
That's fine. I don't think so. I've either, but he
hasn't either. He's Uh.
Speaker 4 (42:26):
Jimmy will always like get these like big, big events
where he invites bunchs of YouTubers to compete for money.
And then there was one where he did like this
airsoft match and we had like balloons and everything, and
me and my team won that one.
Speaker 3 (42:39):
So that was really sad.
Speaker 4 (42:41):
And then later he invited a bunch of YouTubers to
be in this giant cube for over a day, over
twenty four hours. Uh, and we like didn't have any
phones or anything. And I like, already, right off the bat,
I think getting fifty YouTubers locked in a room with
no connection to the outside world, that's already a great
idea for a video right there, you know, just like
(43:01):
record the conversation.
Speaker 3 (43:03):
Yeah, And then uh, I didn't.
Speaker 4 (43:05):
I lost to Djenga with one of the challenges we
was Jenga. But then my my friend Jayden actually ended
up winning that challenge, so she won two Mister Beast
challenges and Jenka.
Speaker 3 (43:17):
Yeah right, was it like the big Jenga?
Speaker 4 (43:19):
Yeah, it was, you know, the slightly bigger than average.
I first of all, I just want to say I
never liked Djenga, not even in like this small forms
too much stress. You know, you know it's going to
fall over and it's going to make a loud sound.
I'd rather just play mouse trap or mouse.
Speaker 1 (43:38):
Trap well two times in my life, and I played
Jenga way too much two times in my life. I
made it to the very end, Yeah, where every single
one was used, yes, like Chris Cross a single one. Yeah,
and there was a lot of.
Speaker 5 (43:53):
You know, sneeze and it falls over.
Speaker 1 (43:54):
Yes, exactly. But although I don't have a picture of.
Speaker 4 (43:58):
It, Well, my my friend Jaden can now say that
she won Jenga and got like a million dollars.
Speaker 3 (44:05):
So okay, I didn't do that. Yeah, she had to
do a bunch of other things.
Speaker 1 (44:10):
Too, but she's a ahead of me.
Speaker 3 (44:12):
Jenga is a big part of it.
Speaker 1 (44:14):
I can't imagine that's really like, that's something a million
dollars play the hell out of this game exactly. Wow.
Speaker 3 (44:22):
Yeah, it's not so how much money he throws around.
Speaker 4 (44:24):
I was gonna say, like we were talking earlier about
like the trends of YouTube and everything, and I think
mister Beast is just changing the game.
Speaker 3 (44:31):
Oh for sure. He changed everything. Yeah, change everything every
now it's all you know what I mean. It's very
like like even like his newer videos. I was kind
of a fan of him like years ago, years ago.
I haven't kept up as much as I used to,
but it's just like, you know, like so like quick edit,
Like I feel like I'm not even getting like a
full story that.
Speaker 4 (44:51):
Was like in the in the Mister Beast fifty YouTuber
Cube thing. I feel like he could have, like if
this was like a regular TV show, he could have
like made a whole season on right, Yeah, stretched it
out like really had the drama of like, well, this
person's getting eliminated, but no, he just made it was
probably a forty minute video, which is long for mister
pet for sure.
Speaker 1 (45:09):
For sure, he.
Speaker 3 (45:09):
Usually sticks around like fifteen twenty these days.
Speaker 5 (45:12):
But voice acting, though, what do you what are your
thoughts on voice act?
Speaker 3 (45:16):
Obviously to talk about YouTube on YouTube.
Speaker 1 (45:20):
We're here, Augue YouTube are Yeah, that's right, we're surrounded.
Speaker 4 (45:23):
Yeah, we're I mean, we're all microphones, so we're kind
of voice acting.
Speaker 3 (45:27):
Yeah, it's like a yeah, best of both worlds. We
actually do talk about that on this podcast. That was
interesting because Jim will talk about how, you know, everybody
used to record together back in the day, you know,
all together in a booth. Now it's all over the
and I always make the comment, yeah, it's either over
the computer. But the only time that voice actors really
get to be together again in the same room or
same studio is either a podcast or a convention. Seriously,
(45:51):
like it's really the only time. It's really like.
Speaker 1 (45:53):
Cool to see and I think and I miss it,
you know, yeah, I was going to really do.
Speaker 4 (45:57):
I get COVID made people work from home, and then
some some industries just stayed working from.
Speaker 3 (46:01):
Home, and the entertainment industry was probably the biggest proponent
of that, at least for like the audition process and
recording and everything.
Speaker 1 (46:09):
You know, Oh yeah, well look how many times you
had to do something in the hallway or you know, Yeah,
it's we're slowly coming around, but I mean we're in
studios again. Yeah, so that's that's a step in the
right direction. You know, I've been there for a while now,
but yeah, I miss those days. I like, see because
you know, ad libs don't work if the person behind
(46:31):
you isn't there, the person without what the next line
isn't there?
Speaker 3 (46:36):
No, you know, because you know, well, it's a very
different experience. You know, you've done most of your voice
acting alone, so compared to that experience that you had
with others when you were doing the Netflix show, did
you like it more? Did you like it less?
Speaker 4 (46:49):
I liked it more for sure, just like having like
more people to like bounce. Sure, like the whole scene
off of it.
Speaker 1 (46:55):
And I think you're better too, because you're almost performing
for an audience.
Speaker 4 (46:58):
Yeah, Like they say something to you and then I
say something back, you know, instead of it being like stilted,
like one sided conversation.
Speaker 1 (47:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (47:05):
Do you feel like you've learned things from their performances
and like that experience. I learned that voice actors are crazy,
That's what I learned, and I like that is very true.
Speaker 1 (47:16):
I know.
Speaker 4 (47:18):
I say this like being fully aware of what I do,
and like how I scream into a booth for hours
out of time. But like voice actors, first off, they
like they have a ritual for me, I like gargle
apple cider vinegar, just to like clear out my throat.
Speaker 3 (47:33):
That's good, ye, And so do you do that.
Speaker 4 (47:37):
Then you get into a booth and then they do
funny voices for who knows how long, and then we
just let them out into society and we just like
give them money for having to do silly voices. Yeah, no, no,
there was. I met a lot of very cool people,
(47:58):
very talented people. Do you know Gary Anthony Williams.
Speaker 5 (48:02):
He's uh, he was, He's very he was.
Speaker 3 (48:05):
He played like.
Speaker 4 (48:06):
The teacher in the in the Netflix show. But like
we loved his performance so much that we basically just
like wrote this like teacher character into like more stories
just because.
Speaker 5 (48:17):
He was just so good.
Speaker 4 (48:18):
And that was also another thing too that I learned
that like the voice actor can also like help you
find the character that like you're trying to write. You know,
like because you write the script, you like have an
idea and that you have the design for it too,
so you like have this idea of what the character
is and what they do. But then once the like
voice actor gives them life and like gives them a personality.
Then you can like start writing for them easier because
(48:40):
you know like how they're going to react and what they're.
Speaker 3 (48:41):
Going to say.
Speaker 4 (48:42):
Yeah, so I like having like voice actors really also
like taught me about like how characters are formed and
like what.
Speaker 5 (48:52):
Like goes into all that, you know.
Speaker 1 (48:53):
Yeah, so any fun process.
Speaker 3 (48:56):
Shout out to Gary Anthony Williams voice.
Speaker 1 (48:58):
Yeah, he's a great guy. It's amazing.
Speaker 3 (49:01):
And just on that recent topic of conventions, you do
conventions as well, too, don't you.
Speaker 4 (49:06):
Yeah, I've been to this one called vid Con that's
been going on. Uh and I know you do a
lot of conventions too, right, Yeah, there's sure are a lot.
I went this is not on topic, but I went
to this Magic the Gathering convention.
Speaker 1 (49:21):
Oh yeah, that's cool.
Speaker 3 (49:22):
Do you play Oh I love magic? Oh nice? Yeah?
Do you play it? I don't. I don't. I have
friends who play, but I don't. Don't get sucked in.
Speaker 4 (49:29):
It's it's that's what I've heard when there's like it's
so funny, Like I definitely think you have to be
a certain kind of person to like magic, you know,
and I fit the bill you have to like numbers,
you know.
Speaker 3 (49:42):
Do you know cash Cards Unlimited?
Speaker 1 (49:44):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (49:45):
That is that a YouTube channel? No? No, no, it's a
card shop out here. Oh here Cards Unlimited. Yeah no,
I haven't heard. Yeah, I need to introduce you. Is
my buddies a huge, huge collector, I believe it.
Speaker 4 (49:55):
Yeah, there's a lot of good shops in count Yeah yeah, sorry, just.
Speaker 1 (49:59):
Came went in. But but one at that shop right? Oh? Yeah,
and then he got that who was his first?
Speaker 3 (50:07):
Oh I can't remember who he got.
Speaker 1 (50:09):
I can't remember who he got cash, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (50:11):
But they have everything. Yeah, gathering is like his his thing.
Speaker 4 (50:16):
Yeah, Jim, do you have a lot of people come
up to you at conventions and like ask you to
sign stuff?
Speaker 1 (50:23):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (50:23):
Yeah, what's the like most common thing that people ask you?
Speaker 3 (50:26):
Did?
Speaker 1 (50:27):
Well? I bring a lot of pictures, so you know,
there's that dark Wing is up there, and Pooh and Tigger,
and I get a lot of plush animals, plush toys.
Speaker 3 (50:39):
And and the characters you voiced.
Speaker 1 (50:41):
Yes, and uh, a lot of legs and boobs.
Speaker 3 (50:48):
I guess, very very opposite sides of this.
Speaker 1 (50:51):
Yeah, and and then and this is years ago, and
I realized that I had to improve my my my
signature signature. It was just you know, and uh because
this girl brought back and goes, look what I did,
and I go, oh my god, it's my name.
Speaker 3 (51:08):
She tattooed it.
Speaker 1 (51:09):
Yeah yeah, And I was thinking, I don't know if
I liked it better.
Speaker 3 (51:15):
There was a girl who did that just last weekend.
I was in Houston with Jim and she tattooed her
leg like massive Jim Cummings.
Speaker 1 (51:22):
Yeah, but now now, And I said, let me guess
you're going to have a tattoos. She goes absolutely, And
I'm thinking, what about your husband? He crazy? Can he
be about? Oh yeah, hey, hi Jim, Yeah that's real good.
I'll bother you know, what do you say? You know?
Speaker 4 (51:42):
I feel like, if you really, if someone's a really
big fan of your work, they should just get like
a tigger or poo or some other like yeah, sure,
like they don't.
Speaker 1 (51:51):
Need to proud that. There's plenty of those. No, I don't.
I don't have any.
Speaker 3 (51:56):
Would you ever get a tattoo?
Speaker 1 (51:57):
No? I almost did once, and then I realized, see
the problem is I'm very mercurial, and what I really
am crazy about right now? Next week I'll be going, oh, man,
what the hell was I thinking? You know, so I
know better?
Speaker 3 (52:10):
Okay, you know better, you know I think.
Speaker 1 (52:12):
I mean, everybody hasn't but me. Yeah, I'm sure you
have one? Right? Do you have an s right there
on here? Actually just a superman?
Speaker 4 (52:19):

The Dark Crystal by Jim Henson? So I got I
got a Skexies. Oh that's fine, I got a Skexies. Uh,
Dark Crystal. It's the guy that goes my favate.
Speaker 1 (52:37):
One of like, oh that's cool. I really like an
evil muppet. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (52:41):
It's not my first tattoo, though. This is my first
tattoo in the camera see it?
Speaker 3 (52:45):
What's say?
Speaker 1 (52:46):
Oh that's pretty good, I say.
Speaker 4 (52:49):
I wanted to get a tattoo with no meaning, so
I got the word tattoos congratulations, so I could tell
people that I had a tattoo.
Speaker 1 (52:56):
So, yes, what's it of?
Speaker 3 (52:59):
It's do you have any tattoos?
Speaker 1 (53:01):
Yeah?

You said you almost got a tattoo though.
Speaker 1 (53:49):
Yeah, what, well, I was two dollars short. Oh thank god? Well, yeah,
it was a really well rendered scorpion with a drop
of blood tripping from the tail, which I thought was
very tasteful. Yeahs cool, and I was gonna get it
right there.
Speaker 3 (54:10):
Nice sounds like a band tattoo.
Speaker 1 (54:11):
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, well I was nineteen.
Speaker 4 (54:16):
It's good that they didn't tattoo and then you paid
and then they like you were short, and then they
had to like scrape.
Speaker 1 (54:21):
It off or some yeah yeah, yeah, sorry, you don't
get that little blood thing. You have to give it back? No,
but I would just get sick of it and then
hate myself. So I went right to hating myself, and
that way I didn't have to muck it up with
the tattoo in the middle. Don't try it on.
Speaker 3 (54:39):
So voice acting, what do you think? So?
Speaker 1 (54:43):
Yeah, now, when did you think you were going to
do this like super voice acting? Well both, When did
I think I was going? What age it were? You know?
Speaker 4 (54:52):
Uh, Like, I guess when I posted my very first comic,
I probably was like, yeah, I'm gonna be big one day,
you know. I like it was like like I'm gonna
na my name in lights or whatever. And then I
like kept posting comics and then no one was reading them,
and then it was I always tell people that I
(55:13):
had to, Like, I posted one hundred comics before I
even got a hundred followers, you know. So I wasn't
doing it for like the numbers or the success. I
was doing it because I enjoyed doing it. And then
after enough trial and error, I like found out what worked.
I found out how to make things funny, how to
structure jokes, and like draw at least decently well not
(55:35):
like abysmally, you know. And then then yeah, then the
comics came out. I remember, I like came home from
high school and I like one of the comics went viral,
and I just like got home, logged into Tumblr and
I see my follower count was at like one fifty
and I was like.
Speaker 1 (55:53):
Whoa, it's happening.
Speaker 3 (55:54):
You know that was y to jump exactly.
Speaker 4 (55:56):
Yeah, yeah, I went from like twenty to one to fifty,
and I was like, it's happening.
Speaker 1 (56:00):
You know, you're getting a virus. Dad.
Speaker 4 (56:06):
I think I'm going to be doing this full time.
And then wait, what was the original? When did I
know I wanted to do this?
Speaker 3 (56:13):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (56:13):
I just kept doing it.
Speaker 4 (56:15):
And then like even like when I was growing on
Tumblr and like getting popular with the comics, I was
still not making any money off of it because I
was just like I was making like internet currency. I
was getting a lot of likes, and that was like,
I was like nice. And then then on YouTube they
(56:35):
let you monetize things. And then once I figured that out,
it was all over. You know, like it wasn't even
like a crazy amount of money, but I was it
was money exactly, And I was like, hey, I'd rather
just stay in my dorm making YouTube videos, not socializing
with people than like going to classes and doing math homework,
(56:56):
not socializing with people.
Speaker 3 (56:57):
What's what's the most amount of money you've made from
one video?
Speaker 4 (57:01):
Oh, I don't know, I think it was it was
probably one of the Sue Away ones.
Speaker 3 (57:06):
Honestly, man, I remember.
Speaker 1 (57:12):
You.
Speaker 3 (57:12):
I would if you asked me this like.
Speaker 4 (57:14):
Five years ago, I would have been able to like
tell you it to like the number, because I used
to like check, like how much.
Speaker 1 (57:21):
Okay, six figures, five figures?
Speaker 4 (57:23):
Oh in one, like in one video probably like the
the not to like to my own hone or anything.
But like the Sue Away ones have like one hundred
million views, which is.
Speaker 1 (57:33):
Like that's insane.
Speaker 3 (57:34):
That is insane.
Speaker 4 (57:35):
I like why I don't I don't even know, like
which genie did I like rescue it exactly?
Speaker 1 (57:45):
You know.
Speaker 3 (57:46):
It's usually like only really music videos that you see.
Speaker 4 (57:49):
And like I don't get, Like, I I honestly don't
know why that one in particular was like so universally loved.
I rewatched that video and I'm like, the voice acting
is bad, the backgrounds are bad, jokes are stale.
Speaker 1 (58:03):
You know.
Speaker 4 (58:04):
So I don't know why people really resonated with that
Suaway one and that so many people I even like
In the first Suebway one, I only called it Sua
Bay once as.
Speaker 3 (58:15):
Like a joke.
Speaker 4 (58:16):
I was like, I used to work at a small
local sandwich shop. I don't know if you guys heard
of it.
Speaker 3 (58:21):
It's called Suabway.
Speaker 4 (58:23):
And then that was like literally the only time I
said it, and then the rest of the video called
it subway, and then everyone was like way and then
to hang their head.
Speaker 3 (58:32):
Was it around the same time as like Spider Man,
uh go Goofy and Dolan duck out you know what
I'm talking about about, Like weird Day?
Speaker 1 (58:43):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (58:43):
Yeah, yeah, what was the subway?
Speaker 5 (58:46):
Was like twenty sixteen question.
Speaker 3 (58:48):
So those would have been a couple of years before that.
You know.
Speaker 4 (58:51):
I actually had a pretty like existential moment not too
long ago. It was with my boxing coach, and you know,
he he's like, every time I post a picture of
you on Instagram, people comment sua Boy, and I was like, yeah,
it's this video that I made a long time ago.
And then I told him, I was like, yeah, I
think I made it like March twenty sixteen, and then
(59:12):
he's like, oh, that's when my daughter was born, and
like his daughter was like there and she's like nine,
she's like nine years old. And I just like got
to see this like this, what my the age of
what my video was like in a person.
Speaker 3 (59:26):
It was just like, oh my god, So yeah that's wild. Yeah.
I just well, you must get that experience. That's what
I say to me.
Speaker 5 (59:35):
Complained about my age, probably doesn't.
Speaker 1 (59:37):
No, no, no, yeah. I didn't even think it was
a complaint. I thought you were bragging. Oh well I had,
but my oldest fan was nine. I'd be going, wow,
what year is this? I cause I'm thirty again, Okay, Okay.
Speaker 3 (59:52):
I wasn't. My oldest fan's not nine. Yeah, maybe I don't.
I haven't.
Speaker 5 (59:58):
I didn't go to VidCon this year.
Speaker 3 (01:00:00):
Yeah, but like you've you've been in the industry yeah
a long time?
Speaker 1 (01:00:04):
Yeah, forty years. Oh wow, something like that.
Speaker 3 (01:00:08):
How'd you like get into it?
Speaker 1 (01:00:10):
I just, uh, well, I made a demo tape. I've
told he before. I made a demo tape and shopped
it around a little bit. And then I got a
job an audition, and I got that job, and then
I had another audition and they used the audition for
the job. So I thought, oh my god, well I'm
this is it? And and and I've been doing it
(01:00:30):
ever since. And that was in eighty five eighty Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:00:34):
It was Winnie the Pooh the biggest one.
Speaker 1 (01:00:38):
Well yeah, yeah, over time and that was was that
like over time? Is that like the first dark.
Speaker 4 (01:00:44):
Was that like the first instance of Winnie the Pooh
animated or is there some other?
Speaker 1 (01:00:49):
No? Well, back when I was, you know, in grade school,
there were there had three shorts, Winded the Pooh and
Ticker I Winted the Poo in the Day for e
Yor and Winnie the and Winnie the Poo. They were
three twenty two minute episodes that they put together to
make a feature length film, three just in three parts,
(01:01:10):
and it won the Academy Award in the mid sixties,
sixty four sixty five, and then inexplicably they didn't do
anything at all for twenty more years, which is good because,
like I said, give me a chance to grow up.
Speaker 3 (01:01:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:01:23):
And at that point, you know, Sterling Holloway, God rest
his soul. He was very, very old. And Paul Winchell,
original Tigger, he was still around for a while, so
he was tiggering I was Pooh, and whenever he would
have to go off and go to Africa and cure
hunger or whatever. I mean, he literally did these things.
I would be Tigger liked, and you know, eventually, you know,
(01:01:47):
time went on and yeah, I mean, Pooh and Tigger
have been with me most of my life. Wow.
Speaker 3 (01:01:55):
So yeah, I'm sure a lot of people like connect
with you.
Speaker 1 (01:01:58):
Oh yeah, yeah, they sure do.
Speaker 4 (01:02:00):
I don't want a fan boy either, but Winnie the
Pooh was like what I was watching as like a preschooler.
Speaker 1 (01:02:05):
Sure, yeah, yeah, I understood, yeah and rightly, so keep
up the good work. Yeah, well you're not watching now,
Jesu's no respect. I'm Rodney Dangerfield over.
Speaker 4 (01:02:17):
Have you have you ever done any anime voices A
little like voices voice for animes?
Speaker 1 (01:02:23):
Yeah, very very little, I know, Like.
Speaker 4 (01:02:26):
That's a whole different I guess. Yeah, world and voice acting.
Speaker 1 (01:02:29):
Yeah yeah, it's a very popular world. But it's my
understanding is that it's mostly done in uh forget Dallas
or Houston, Texas. Yeah yeah, and uh and that's that's
where all the anime stuff is based. I guess where
they record it. But I did one. I did Howells
Moving Castle.
Speaker 3 (01:02:47):
Whoa you did ghibli? That?
Speaker 1 (01:02:50):
Did? I know? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (01:02:51):
I think that was me Okay, how was moving castle?
Speaker 3 (01:02:53):
Wait? Do you remember what? Do you remember what character?
Speaker 2 (01:02:55):
You were?
Speaker 1 (01:02:56):
No? Cool? But you guys do. And then I played one.
Speaker 4 (01:03:03):
By the way, I will say, like Ghibli is like
its own genre of anime in my opinion, Like you
have the anime which is like, you know, super tropy
and oh my goodness, and then we got Ghibli which
is like super down to earth and like very artistic
and beautiful.
Speaker 1 (01:03:19):
Well, then I probably wasn't in that one. I was
probably in the one with the arm parts. Hard to say,
but yeah, I cannot for the life and may think
of that that one. Anyway, you guys will send it
in right.

Speaker 3 (01:03:39):
I already said.
Speaker 1 (01:03:39):
That, but do it now do it again.
Speaker 3 (01:03:43):
So going forward, you mentioned when you first came in
here that you're kind of getting back on the YouTube grind.
Have you been taking some time off sometimes to yourself?
And I noticed that you haven't been posting as frequently
on your channel.
Speaker 4 (01:03:53):
You know that's because I've shifted into making comics again.
You know, I've kind of like refound because like that's
how I got my start was just making these comics,
and I think it was like, if if I could
make my a living doing just YouTube shorts, I think
I would do that because, like I really enjoy just
(01:04:16):
thinking of a joke and then illustrating it and then leaving,
you know, like just like a short.
Speaker 3 (01:04:22):
Little and then haha and then we leave.
Speaker 4 (01:04:24):
So like that that's what I really got with comics,
you know, And then like YouTube shorts came around, and
it's pretty much the same formula of just like think
of a skit, acted out, draw it, and then leave.
But there's like very little money with YouTube shorts, so
I can like, like pretty much the money I make
on YouTube shorts like barely covers the animation that the
(01:04:48):
money that I spend on animation and stuff, so it's
like they I get them for free kind of. But yeah,
I've been really focusing on this video about war your Cats,
which so let me explain Warrior.
Speaker 5 (01:05:03):
How much time do we have enough?
Speaker 4 (01:05:07):
Okay, so there's this book series. By the way, I'm
so sorry for bringing this up on your podcast. I
come into like you invite me in here. It's so
hard because every social interaction I've had for the last
like five months, I've just been like, have you guys
heard about Warrior Cats? So there's this book series about cats,
(01:05:32):
and for some reason, people love to draw the cats.
Speaker 3 (01:05:36):
I'm talking like like fan made music videos.
Speaker 4 (01:05:40):
There's like thousands literally saying thousands of these like animated
fan made like cat drawings, you know.
Speaker 3 (01:05:48):
And I wanted to know, like, why.
Speaker 4 (01:05:50):
Do people like drawing these cats so much? Let's pull
up some of the Warrior Cat animations and so I
just like I wanted to know why, Like you know,
I like there, I do animation, So I wanted to
figure out, like why there's somebody overlapping exactly. And then
I like didn't realize the like age group of the
(01:06:13):
book that I was reading. It's like for little kids.
Speaker 5 (01:06:17):
And I like went into a Barnes and Noble one
time trying to find.
Speaker 3 (01:06:20):
Like physical copies.
Speaker 4 (01:06:22):
So I was looking in the young adult section and
I was like, oh, they don't have any. I couldn't
find any, and then I realized, oh, I'm looking looking
at the young adult section. I had to go to
the kid's corner with like the Princess.
Speaker 1 (01:06:35):
Cas slightly older kids.
Speaker 4 (01:06:38):
Yeah, you know, like the little kids section with like
the blocks and the like the Mister Toad and whatever
like yeah, and I realized like, oh, this is way
too young. So but I don't know's I'm having a
good time reading them and everything.
Speaker 3 (01:06:53):

Speaker 4 (01:06:55):
