He voice acts for bad ass and mean characters but he looks like a sweet guy

10 minutes in and I’ve learned more about voiceover and capturing that voiceover than months of watching anybody else. So much information here. Very helpful for an aspiring home talent. Thank you Chuck and Stacey! Have a great day guys.

Wow the director has an amazing personality. He is able to give directions with compliments and positivity. Can you imagine if all school teachers had this type of personality? How much better school would be and how much better students would perform.

I bought a DVD set of Cowboy Bebop and he signed it. I can't recall how often in my life I've been excited about something that's so seemingly trivial. I later found out it was a chinese bootleg! And he still signed it. What a sport! edit: only thing bad is these guys get sucked into making really divisive political statements on social media out of pressure from the actor community.

Chuck your musician's ears are so valuable in the studio. I watching this and it's like a class...I do the same with the waveform on my Adobe Audition DAW. And you're so right!!! You're a very good producer too...your God given gift...you hear but you improve the end result by your coaching skill. You've done this so much, I'm so impressed at your work ethic. You advice is so valuable...not sounding like the guy who did the spot....right on!!! They already have the guy...same for music when we try to get too sure of ourselves...we blow the whole thing into ego, not developed talent and ability to take good direction from people like yourself. Hi Stacey...you two rock my world with the show and you're truthfulness. Love you guys for what you do. Thanks so much.

I knew he voiced certain characters in anime and cartoons and video games but I didn’t know he has a voice acting record of the most credited voice acting for so many characters I always tried to do his wolverine voice and that’s my favorite he knows how to manipulate sounds through his vocal chords and knows how to use his diaphragm im/pressed

With a Director like that, anybody is going to sound great. Just because the Director says it sounds great. This is really fun to watch. Having been in a booth a couple of times, with great direction, that looks like a lot of fun to do some more of. Thank you for this inspiration. 16:50-17:34; a re-direct conceived of, and inserted by the talent. In reading up about, and learning about the arts of communication using the English language, in addition to sidenotes, and context, punctuation is something that I rely upon to guide how I would voice something. If by changing punctuation, The flavor of a read is changed. Is that something you submit as an option when you’re self producing, next to the author’s punctuation style? How much latitude does the talent have? 17:41, he crosses his arms. It changes his presentation subtly.
