| 224s | can hear more in the back on tomorrow |
| 229s | we've already done our intro in the most |
| 232s | theatrical and beautiful way possible |
| 234s | we're gonna do some questions we're |
| 235s | gonna play some games and then we're |
| 236s | gonna do an audience Q&A at the end I'll |
| 238s | call you guys up at that time you're |
| 240s | gonna line up in the middle but the time |
| 241s | is not now first we must start with a |
| 244s | serious part there's a lot of people |
| 246s | here who are aspiring voice actors |
| 248s | aspiring sound designers that might just |
| 251s | be interested in literally how did you |
| 252s | get started in the industry so we'll |
| 254s | start with George then we'll go Cheryl |
| 255s | then we'll go Lucas so yeah so I got |
| 258s | started I went to school I always knew |
| 260s | that I wanted to work in sound I went to |
| 263s | college then I worked in post-production |
| 266s | doing television and radio commercials |
| 270s | and some short films and some TV series |
| 272s | and then decided I wanted to do |
| 274s | something even crazier and get into game |
| 277s | development and then pursued that and to |
| 280s | do the sound design thing now for 1314 |
| 283s | years and in video games @de yeah so oh |
| 291s | it's wonderful |
| 292s | all the love so I got started in voice |
| 294s | acting after getting some training and |
| 296s | voice acting and I decided to do this |
| 298s | because my husband was like you talks so |
| 300s | so very much let's make some money off |
| 302s | of this literally this is why |
| 305s | so yeah my starting industry was |
| 307s | audiobooks I'm an author also so and |
| 311s | then I moved over into doing more |
| 312s | auditioning in other genres so audio |
| 316s | books are amazing all the time do you |
| 318s | find it easier this is just a total sub |
| 321s | question yeah your to do a consistent |
| 323s | reading of an audiobook or characters |
| 325s | what do you okay audiobooks is really |
| 327s | challenging because there are characters |
| 328s | within them because you do like fiction |
| 330s | and then you have to end up doing like |
| 331s | 40 characters 40 characters so I find |
| 336s | that really challenging but one of the |
| 338s | things that's really just a long haul |
| 340s | with audiobooks it's doing the editing a |
| 341s | lot of us who are not big-time people we |
| 343s | have to do our own editing okay so |
| 345s | that's just a slog fun part is reading |
| 350s | it's really fun and it's a lot faster |
| 351s | than the editing I got my start in first |
| 358s | of all in radio and then kind of blended |
| 363s | a little bit of just theater that I'd |
| 365s | always just loved from like school and |
| 368s | it's community theater and I was just |
| 369s | like in I think was like 2007 I was like |
| 372s | hey people get paid to make voices for |
| 375s | things yeah they do I should look into |
| 378s | that and it was about two and a half |
| 381s | years of about looking into it and then |
| 383s | I was like talking to people that person |
| 385s | talked another person that person talked |
| 387s | to another person that person had a |
| 388s | workshop that workshop had a person |
| 389s | there who was starting a Facebook group |
| 391s | that Facebook group had a thing it just |
| 392s | led one thing into another and all of a |
| 394s | sudden I'm just like hey you wanna |
| 396s | audition for Cooking Mama it's like what |
| 398s | what yeah how does that work how does |
| 401s | that work yeah sure and so I just |
| 403s | happened to find myself doing things and |
| 405s | now here we are almost 10 years later |
| 407s | you know I think like I think I've got a |
| 409s | hundred and fifty video games under my |
| 411s | potpourri |
| 411s | now and I'm just like yeah well it's |
| 415s | under my fanny pack but still its |
| 417s | regardless it's no it'sit's it's so much |
| 420s | it's so much fun I wouldn't I wouldn't |
| 424s | rather be doing I would rather be doing |
| 426s | nothing else than this this is so much |
| 428s | fun |
| 429s | one of the best things you got dudes got |
| 431s | enjoy the stuff it's not gonna matter at |
| 433s | all and so yeah that's how I got started |
| 436s | it was basically just like a blend of |
| 438s | everything and I just like hey |
| 439s | realization that that there can be money |
| 442s | in this I should look for a job I love |
| 445s | it that's awesome I just want to say for |
| 447s | anyone watching in chat this is a |
| 449s | charity event and you do have the option |
| 450s | to live donate to the Canadian Mental |
| 452s | Health Association so feel free to bring |
| 454s | some donations our way during the panel |
| 456s | maybe we'll set the donation record for |

| 460s | so don't forget to donate to CMHA give |
| 463s | your donations to the void everyone wait |
| 466s | we have a corpus on stage and we just |
| 468s | asked for money this is gonna I just |
| 473s | want her in the pen donate to the void |
| 475s | and just fade out I would do totally |
| 478s | totally |
| 480s | our next question is about warframe and |
| 483s | maybe what surprised you most about |
| 486s | warframe whether either playing reading |
| 489s | about it reading that first audition |
| 491s | maybe George what surprises you six |
| 493s | years in seven years what's the prize |
| 495s | everything surprises actually I I |
| 497s | shouldn't be surprised by anything but |
| 499s | I'm always surprised all the time |
| 502s | I'm surprised that how the team comes |
| 505s | together and I mean the whole dev team |
| 506s | to make it what it is you know if you |
| 510s | guys could see the insanity that goes |
| 513s | into every update there are times where |
| 516s | I'm like this is houses gonna work it's |
| 518s | never gonna work and it always works so |
| 520s | that's the thing that I'm always |
| 521s | inspired and surprised by all the time |
| 524s | his sound team is in the front row |
| 526s | nodding like yes yeah and the sound |
| 528s | sound team represent yeah we got Willem |
| 530s | Eric David Karl Mark is around somewhere |
| 535s | Jeff is around somewhere a bunch of |
| 537s | great great people probably mixing the |
| 539s | stream being like it's mono it's mono |
| 541s | yeah yeah Jeff Jeff Jeff is our our |
| 543s | stream master worrying about the audio |
| 545s | so and Cheryl what has surprised you |
| 548s | most about warframe well what surprised |
| 549s | me most was the depth of story |
| 552s | characters were so richly drawn it's not |
| 555s | that I had a big preconception that it |
| 558s | was going to be one way or the other but |
| 559s | it was just so real |
| 560s | just so deep I thought this is is this |
| 563s | normal I don't do a lot of videogame |
| 566s | work like Lucas I don't know if this is |
| 568s | normal |
| 569s | it seems surprising you have a PhD stop |
| 571s | now true it's true I do but I'm a |
| 576s | scientist but she's got the PhD what the |
| 578s | heck's up with this what's going on I |
| 579s | love it |
| 580s | you're a fake scientist Lucas we how did |
| 582s | you yes and for you Lucas what is |
| 584s | surprised you most you've had a long |
| 586s | relationship with the game now so yeah I |
| 588s | mean it's over three years now that I've |
| 590s | been bringing Neff until in and it's I |
| 593s | think the the biggest thing that |
| 594s | surprised me was was till actually and I |
| 599s | think the reason was it only followed |
| 602s | bike and I think we've talked about this |
| 602s | a lot before George is that you know |
| 604s | it's like three weeks after I got taken |
| 607s | in for for Nath they were like there was |
| 609s | an audition I was like try this one out |
| 611s | too and I end up being warframe again |
| 612s | didn't know that it was Dillard or and |
| 616s | once we finished working on that for the |
| 618s | tube maneuver Gore event when that thing |
| 620s | went live the the response from the |
| 624s | community was not only incredible but |
| 627s | damn near unanimous and I and I remember |
| 632s | there was a member of the sound team |
| 633s | that was like literally wrote me they're |
| 634s | like this has never happened before |
| 636s | they've never all agreed on one thing |
| 639s | but it's a mate and so having everybody |
| 642s | kind of come together on that not about |
| 644s | what I've done but then also over the |
| 647s | course of what over the years of me |
| 648s | working on this just to see the |
| 651s | community and I'm not trying to get all |
| 652s | hokey and Disney on you guys but I mean |
| 654s | really it's just you guys are so can |
| 657s | awesome you really are the dedication |
| 662s | the dedication that you guys put into |
| 665s | all of this the dedication that you put |
| 667s | into your fashion frames the dedication |
| 669s | you put into your dojos the dedication |
| 671s | you put into oh I don't know a no con is |
| 675s | amazing and that continues to amaze me |
| 678s | every single year it's great it's |
| 680s | incredible I see people coming and |
| 682s | saying hey I flew here from Iceland |
| 684s | and I'm like you it's it's incredible |
| 686s | and it's like because you know we work |
| 688s | on this game 365 days a year and this is |
| 692s | the one day that we get to come here and |
| 693s | see all the amazing people well not all |
| 696s | of them but a big portion of them that |
| 699s | who support us and it's amazing to see |
| 701s | that how many people came from another |
| 703s | country not Canada hands up like well |
| 706s | yeah insane that's fantastic I love that |
| 709s | that was like I was watching on stream |
| 712s | there were a lot of hands that just |
| 713s | raised where are the 90 percent you |
| 715s | could complete the body if you just took |
| 717s | some of those you could have arms and |
| 718s | legs don't tempt me okay our next |
| 723s | question is what do you look forward to |
| 725s | most about warfarin and its characters |
| 727s | so George has a different approach on |
| 730s | this I think than perhaps our voice |
| 731s | actors but I'd love to hear all your |
| 733s | answers yeah I mean I you know like |
| 736s | Lucas said I always look forward to what |
| 739s | is the next character gonna be and where |
| 740s | can we take it you know like is it what |
| 743s | kind of weird crazy thing are the |
| 746s | Raiders gonna dream up that we have to |
| 748s | put sound to and that's probably the |
| 750s | thing for me anyway that keeps keeps it |
| 752s | going and is one of the most fundamental |
| 754s | and exciting parts because it keeps it |
| 757s | interesting you know so I look I look |
| 760s | forward to just the the difference and |
| 762s | the craziness of each character and also |
| 764s | like you alluded to Lucas we never know |
| 768s | what it's gonna end up being you know |
| 769s | cuz a lot of times we'll write a |
| 770s | character and we're like well we wanted |
| 772s | to have this kind of an intonation and |
| 773s | it's kind of a flavor and then an actor |
| 775s | will do something really crazy and |
| 777s | interesting in the audition and we're |
| 779s | like oh man like let's shift gears let's |
| 780s | let's do that let's write for that so |
| 783s | that's always the thing that I look |
| 785s | forward to with with characters and in |
| 787s | the game so what I look forward to is |
| 790s | just learning the community more and |
| 792s | learning this game more I'm not a gamer |
| 794s | so yeah I mean this is a lot as far as |
| 797s | characters I mean just seeing people's |
| 800s | responses to be able to share here and |
| 804s | other places online especially is pretty |
| 806s | overwhelming and wonderful I look |
| 808s | forward to dipping into that whenever |
| 809s | y'all let me and whenever people reach |
| 811s | out sort of look forward to the |
| 812s | community around it I don't know if that |
| 813s | answers the question buddy |
| 815s | thank you for words Neff and your boss |
| 820s | fight and I've said that I said that |
| 824s | before and I've also said one about say |
| 826s | before but I think it answers this |
| 828s | question really well it's one of the |
| 829s | things that I'd love to see Nathanael |
| 832s | lose it because the Tenno pushed him so |
| 835s | far and conman facade goes completely |
| 839s | away our free I'm sorry preacher facade |
| 842s | goes completely away and it's just all |
| 843s | comment and it's just like you know what |
| 847s | no screw the void anymore it's you and |
| 849s | me we're doing this thing now I want to |
| 851s | see that happen because I have no idea |
| 853s | where the writers will take it I have no |
| 855s | idea where you want to take a George and |
| 856s | I'm just like one of our writers is |
| 860s | right there I think he's doing some |
| 861s | photographers that's Ryan well yeah Ryan |
| 868s | and can some amazing writing from those |
| 870s | guys I think team people have asked me |
| 873s | that too and they've go like you know I |
| 874s | was like wow I really loved all the |
| 876s | stuff that you do on warframe and I'm |
| 877s | like yeah that's like 30 percent me and |
| 881s | like everything else these guys because |
| 885s | holy crap the writing is so great I just |
| 888s | never say enough stuff about the writing |
| 890s | it's you get to see everything I get to |
| 896s | see all the notes from de when it says Z |
| 899s | oMG Rael Jack that's always fun to see I |
| 910s | love that kind of stuff just the amount |
| 913s | of stuff that you guys put into it and |
| 914s | the dedication that you give to us as |
| 916s | actors to let us take the writing and |
| 919s | then do what we're gonna do with it it's |
| 922s | not just like a spreadsheet of just line |
| 923s | line line it's a whole script it's like |
| 926s | reading a movie and it's just great well |
| 929s | that's that's that's where the the |
| 931s | character lives right the character |
| 933s | lives as interpretation and that goes is |
| 936s | well for sound design your design and |
| 937s | sound of a warframe what is your |
| 939s | interpretation of it as a sound designer |
| 941s | or as a voice artist |
| 943s | where are you gonna |
| 944s | how are you gonna bring this thing to |
| 945s | life and that's that's the thrill in it |
| 948s | and that's the thing that that's always |
| 949s | the most interesting yeah it gets better |
| 952s | and better when you have a nurturing |
| 953s | safe place to do that kind of thing |
| 954s | that's what y'all create you know just a |
| 956s | great place for us to get in there and |
| 958s | interpret yep |
| 960s | right let's take a look at our next |
| 962s | question if you could make up a warframe |
| 964s | character to voice what would it be well |
| 969s | my mic well should I say this |
| 972s | my favorite wharfing character is a |
| 974s | warframe is Octavia so she's you know I |
| 978s | mean did you see the Octavia cosplay |
| 979s | here I didn't I've been looking all |
| 981s | around for her because I think for me |
| 983s | like as a sound designer musician that |
| 985s | was kind of the ultimate the ultimate |
| 988s | thing that I got to work on was to to |
| 990s | make a music sequencer in a game like |
| 992s | how crazy is that so I don't that |
| 994s | answers a question |
| 995s | I don't voice well I'm a couple of I'm |
| 997s | like a Grenier and a corpus here and |
| 999s | there but yeah you wouldn't make I don't |
| 1001s | you don't want to make up like some a |
| 1002s | heartbreak story about a rock star who |
| 1005s | didn't get money from the corpus and |
| 1007s | he's he hates the Tenno cuz Octavia |
| 1009s | stole his headliner that you do that |
| 1011s | it's a great idea first I think you |
| 1013s | should pitch that all right Steve if |
| 1014s | you're listening we're gonna have a |
| 1015s | story like that yeah invent a character |
| 1018s | that you would want to voice and if you |
| 1019s | don't have an answer that's cool too |
| 1022s | alright I don't have an answer but I |
| 1024s | like to use southern accents all the |
| 1026s | time so if you want to hire me for that |
| 1028s | I love that to be honest we had the |
| 1030s | Fortuna so Larenz have Australians |
| 1033s | accents so I feel like it's only a |
| 1035s | matter of time until we incorporate more |
| 1037s | accents into the game why not why not |
| 1040s | yeah we really should we really should I |
| 1047s | know I'm not the only nerd here yes you |
| 1051s | are sorry |
| 1052s | yeah I'm not wearing Jojo pants we're |
| 1054s | not talking about that but still love |
| 1059s | you dear love you dear |
| 1061s | I was thinking about this I was like you |
| 1064s | know what I would love to see I would |
| 1066s | love to see a warframe come out that was |
| 1070s | focused solely on number crunching like |
| 1074s | they were just a math nerd and like all |
| 1077s | of their abilities were focused on |
| 1079s | calculators abacuses just something |
| 1081s | crazy and like the sounds that you would |
| 1084s | hear speaking of sounds would be |
| 1086s | something just like internal internal |
| 1087s | math I think that would just be nerdy oh |
| 1095s | where would you take that I would love |
| 1097s | to see it you could divide someone in |
| 1098s | half excellent alright so you just said |
| 1111s | you were a nerd so this is a great next |
| 1112s | question for you do you find yourself |
| 1114s | being like a super nerd of a given |
| 1116s | fandom like what absolutely I actually |
| 1119s | would say that this is actually a recent |
| 1121s | development within the last two years |
| 1123s | and anybody that follows me on Twitter |
| 1126s | knows that I'm a big old nerd especially |
| 1128s | you too right there you know exactly |
| 1129s | what I'm talking about |
| 1131s | Dungeons and Dragons holy crap holy crap |
| 1134s | holy crap half fork monk for life yo |
| 1139s | open hands first |
| 1141s | I mean I am its it's a recent |
| 1146s | development for me but I mean you know |
| 1148s | used to be just like books used to be it |
| 1150s | looks like a whole bunch of different |
| 1151s | things out there that I used to love but |
| 1153s | and I kind of do fluctuate from one |
| 1155s | thing to another but I found that D&D |
| 1157s | not only is great for just you know |
| 1161s | group gaming and and with that but it's |
| 1163s | also group storytelling its lore |
| 1165s | building its world building its scenario |
| 1168s | building and it's also as an actor it's |
| 1171s | a wonderful way to take |
| 1172s | characterizations and build a character |
| 1175s | watch them evolve watch them grow make |
| 1177s | decisions roll of dice go oh that ain't |
| 1179s | happenin oh how are you gonna react to |
| 1181s | that and it's |
| 1182s | prov - so there's all sorts of different |
| 1184s | facets of nerdom fantasy imagination |
| 1188s | acting all of it comes together and I |
| 1190s | would highly recommend if you haven't |
| 1193s | joined a D&D group it's come a long way |
| 1195s | from your mom's basement really go to |
| 1197s | your local game shop and get started it |
| 1199s | would be you'll love it couldn't agree |
| 1202s | more |
| 1202s | what are you Cheryl what's up what's on |
| 1204s | your you know your playlist sir well I |
| 1206s | love to watch elementary okay now let me |
| 1210s | tell you how much of a fan I am of |
| 1211s | Johnny Lee Miller |
| 1212s | I went to see him on Broadway like last |
| 1215s | Wednesday I took the mega bus from DC to |
| 1218s | see this man and the woman sitting next |
| 1220s | to me in the almost very back row of |
| 1222s | this wonderful place on Broadway was |
| 1224s | like I am here for giant Leah Miller and |
| 1226s | I said I am here for Johnny Miller and |
| 1227s | we are here for Tommy Lee Miller that is |
| 1229s | why we're here Johnny Lee are you here |
| 1230s | tonight oh that's amazing yeah I just |
| 1237s | I'm really into music and then different |
| 1239s | kinds of music and I it's funny like if |
| 1241s | you look at my Spotify playlists it's |
| 1243s | like just a whole bunch of anything and |
| 1247s | everything and like I don't know right |
| 1249s | now |
| 1249s | I don't Fenny but there's this great |
| 1250s | Canadian band metric of any behavior I'm |
| 1253s | totally into metric I love metric |
| 1255s | they're fantastic and so I guess I'm a |
| 1257s | fandom of music music you're in your own |
| 1264s | band and you also do stuff for warframe |
| 1266s | so alright let's take a look do you've |
| 1270s | any major inspiration for the work that |
| 1272s | you do in all of its facets so yeah I |
| 1275s | have a lot of you talking people or just |
| 1278s | things in general |
| 1279s | maybe so say we ask you people please do |
| 1283s | people yeah I've you know Randy Tom |
| 1286s | who's a sound designer what's Skywalker |
| 1289s | Sound was a huge influence on me you |
| 1292s | know I I remember it's it's hilarious I |
| 1296s | I don't know 15 20 years ago I sent him |
| 1299s | an email and said hey I'm just this |
| 1302s | nobody can you give me any tips and he |
| 1304s | graciously wrote back to me and it was |
| 1305s | amazing |
| 1307s | so he's like he's kind of like the |
| 1308s | Godfather of sound design him and Ben |
| 1310s | Burtt so I look up to them Ben bird of |
| 1312s | course Star Wars and Randy Tom a whole |
| 1316s | bunch of really really great movies so |
| 1320s | yeah those are the two people that I |
| 1321s | really look up to Cheryl well major |
| 1323s | inspiration for me and trying to be |
| 1325s | present in my performance would be like |
| 1327s | power of now kind of philosophy and |
| 1330s | that's really what I'm trying to bring |
| 1332s | time I used to drum and jazz and do a |
| 1334s | lot of improv so you know you have to |
| 1337s | stay very present there and improv and |
| 1340s | acting a little bit so so you have the |
| 1342s | headspace you're in it and then you draw |
| 1344s | him exactly exactly |
| 1346s | Lucas I think for me as an actor I |
| 1349s | really I've always been attracted to |
| 1351s | actors that love to kind of fade into |
| 1357s | their roles and like you you you |
| 1358s | identify them more by their characters |
| 1360s | than like oh it's that actor you know |
| 1363s | it's just you say you say them and I |
| 1364s | think like a good example would be Mark |
| 1368s | Hamill's Joker and Batman the Animated |
| 1371s | Series or the Arkham games and all of |
| 1373s | the other variations is that you see it |
| 1375s | that that's the Joker and they answer |
| 1377s | yourself oh that's more camel oh that's |
| 1379s | mark hamill that's doing that and so any |
| 1381s | kind of actor that does that and like |
| 1382s | for like film actors like I've always |
| 1384s | you know appreciated the works of like |
| 1386s | you know Kevin Spacey and Al Pacino and |
| 1388s | John Malkovich and Robert Duvall and |
| 1391s | people that basically really fall into |
| 1393s | their their their work and really become |
| 1395s | their characters and that's that's |
| 1398s | always what I've looked up to you |
| 1399s | realize how hard it is right to like |
| 1401s | especially if you're doing the job you |
| 1403s | know again for sound design you realize |
| 1405s | once you start doing it how hard it |
| 1407s | actually is to try to follow in those |
| 1409s | footsteps and I'm sure for voice acting |
| 1411s | too like you did a new appreciation for |
| 1413s | it right yeah |
| 1414s | absolutely there's always there's always |
| 1416s | a some time when I always but there |
| 1418s | every now and then there comes to this |
| 1419s | point where you have to say like this |
| 1422s | character or this |
| 1423s | passed away and we need a replacement |
| 1425s | this actor has stepped down his |
| 1428s | contractors run out we need a |
| 1429s | replacement something else has just |
| 1431s | happened with your replacement you need |
| 1433s | to do a voice match for this character |
| 1435s | for this actor in this show I got to |
| 1438s | voice match ving rhames for a movie one |
| 1440s | time really protip i don't look like |
| 1443s | ving rhames someone cuz there's a lot of |
| 1453s | series when actors are passed away such |
| 1454s | that you need a replacement and that's |
| 1457s | what it is and it's like you got a step |
| 1458s | into there step into their shoes and |
| 1459s | then and if it's it's worse sometimes if |
| 1461s | it's if someone was let go or if there |
| 1465s | was a creative decision to move on to |
| 1467s | somebody else because if there's fans |
| 1469s | out there then they're like the old |
| 1471s | person but it's new it's so yeah but |
| 1480s | there is there is that struggle and so |
| 1483s | being able to not impersonate but I |
| 1487s | think make the make that make the |
| 1490s | character your own and blend all the |
| 1493s | instructions all the directions together |
| 1494s | and get layer upon layer upon layer |
| 1496s | everybody's got to be an onion sometimes |
| 1498s | and you gotta just make it go and I |
| 1500s | think it's and when you can hit that |
| 1501s | sweet spot it's great at the onion the |
| 1505s | sweet onion spot Neff onion I could do |
| 1511s | this all day a general tip or two for |
| 1513s | aspiring voice actors maybe some people |
| 1515s | in the crowd have been interested in |
| 1517s | pursuing it so what are one tip for yeah |
| 1520s | as a as an on voice actor I think just |
| 1524s | always you know always be practicing |
| 1528s | your craft you know always be trying |
| 1530s | different things trying different |
| 1532s | characters seeing because I think that's |
| 1535s | how you you know like you were saying |
| 1537s | Lucas you don't want to imitate somebody |
| 1539s | but you want to embody them you want to |
| 1541s | become a character and I think the more |
| 1542s | you practice that and the more you |
| 1544s | develop that skill the better you'll get |
| 1546s | at being your own voice and discovering |
| 1548s | your own voice so just keep doing that |
| 1550s | I think Cheryl probably a well-rounded |
| 1553s | kind of education so if you're coming |
| 1555s | out of acting sort of |
| 1556s | dip over into the world of sound design |
| 1559s | so you can understand a little bit of |
| 1560s | what's going on around you and if you |
| 1562s | come out at the world of music and sound |
| 1564s | and you know get your fundamentals and |
| 1565s | acting is probably the suggestion yeah |
| 1567s | and I think that's really valid |
| 1569s | especially cuz you said you edit a lot |
| 1570s | of your own stuff so you at least need |
| 1571s | that cursory understanding of and then |
| 1575s | you learn what it's like from an |
| 1576s | engineering standpoint to kind of go |
| 1578s | it's just taking this voice and then |
| 1580s | doing something with it it's it's |
| 1581s | clipping it it's editing out the breaths |
| 1583s | it's it's normalizing the volume it's |
| 1585s | it's under it's it's understanding where |
| 1587s | your peaks and valleys are and how you |
| 1589s | normalize all that stuff this is like |
| 1591s | there's people who are like what |
| 1592s | actually talking about look into it it's |
| 1594s | it it'll save you it'll booked you a gig |
| 1597s | when you don't have that otherwise you |
| 1599s | don't have that knowledge I think for me |
| 1601s | going along along side the same lines of |
| 1604s | you know not trying to be a mimic so |
| 1605s | much I think mimicry when you're |
| 1607s | beginning mimicry is something that you |
| 1610s | want to do mimicry is something that we |
| 1612s | do not as children but it's like |
| 1613s | beginning beginning voice actors kind of |
| 1615s | getting into it's like oh you sound like |
| 1617s | that other actor character than ibid do |
| 1621s | you sound like that you would be good or |
| 1623s | if you have a deep voice oh you should |
| 1625s | sound good |
| 1626s | II owe you have a unique voice oh you |
| 1628s | should sound good more than anything |
| 1631s | else though not all work is character |
| 1634s | voiceover work most of the work that's |
| 1635s | gonna be out there and you'd probably I |
| 1638s | probably wager about 80% of the voice of |
| 1640s | work is out there is gonna be done into |
| 1641s | your natural voice your unaffected |
| 1643s | natural voice commercial narration |
| 1646s | audiobook especially for the narrative |
| 1648s | stuff and not just the characters that |
| 1649s | come along is gonna be done with your |
| 1652s | natural voice so I would say a big tip |
| 1654s | was learn how to appreciate your actual |
| 1658s | normal conversational tone you don't |
| 1660s | have to like your voice but you have to |
| 1662s | find that your voice has value it has |
| 1666s | worth it has a place and it doesn't need |
| 1669s | to be anything other than just |
| 1672s | appreciate it for what it is then you |
| 1674s | build on the characters then you start |
| 1676s | building from that it's so inspirational |
| 1678s | by the end I I say the same thing to my |
| 1684s | little tool man every night I say |
| 1686s | you can do this you can do this Gary |
| 1689s | they're all named Gary you've been |
| 1692s | killing Gary's this entire time I knew |
| 1694s | it sure so it just don't meant you can |
| 1696s | you just tell us a little story about |
| 1698s | the first time nor a night was directed |
| 1700s | from casting to the recording sessions |
| 1703s | so Cheryl if you want to kick that off |
| 1704s | and in George King cuz George casts |
| 1706s | things in a way so it's so for me nor |
| 1710s | night casting was through one of the |
| 1711s | major sites for a lot of different types |
| 1713s | of voice opportunities and I just go |
| 1715s | there like everyone else goes there and |
| 1717s | I try my little thing and I remember |
| 1719s | thinking no I actually said to my |
| 1720s | husband after this because there was no |
| 1721s | a lot of detail was there about the |
| 1724s | character but there wasn't a lot about |
| 1725s | you know who you would be working with |
| 1727s | but I told my husband after I don't care |
| 1729s | if I get it cuz that was a lot of fun to |
| 1730s | do I sat down on that mic and I was like |
| 1732s | this is fun you know I mean that's not |
| 1735s | how she sounds obviously but in my head |
| 1737s | I was like so yeah so that was the my |
| 1740s | experience of doing the audition was |
| 1742s | that and I don't feel that way all the |
| 1743s | time a lot of times you're thinking |
| 1744s | about your natural voice that that's not |
| 1746s | my natural voice yeah yeah and I think I |
| 1750s | mean that shows right it's like you know |
| 1752s | if the actors having a good time with it |
| 1754s | you can tell you know and and when the |
| 1756s | actors into it the believability is |
| 1758s | there and that's the number one thing |
| 1759s | that we listen to and we get auditions |
| 1761s | in is we listen is this believable is |
| 1763s | this gonna work as it's telling the |
| 1764s | story you know and and Cheryl knocked it |
| 1767s | out of the park obviously sorry |
| 1768s | you're amazing here you thank you |
| 1771s | [Applause] |
| 1777s | we were talking about this at the brunch |
| 1779s | I was like when they know that you're |
| 1782s | here don't think you're off the hook |
| 1799s | Lucas cuz I want to know about yeah walk |
| 1802s | us through the Fortuna Neph ano so from |
| 1805s | script to recording yeah well for TuneIn |
| 1810s | f nu we started off with the demo for |
| 1815s | the 410 oak on last year and then a |
| 1818s | couple months later we got into the |
| 1819s | actual the full script of it so I kind |
| 1822s | of knew a little bit from the demo about |
| 1824s | where we were gonna go with oh here's |
| 1827s | Venus and oh here's some other stuff and |
| 1829s | it's like alright cool and then I was |
| 1831s | like but I had no idea about the Solaris |
| 1834s | I had no idea about the story that was |
| 1836s | involved in that also uh Ryan who was |
| 1841s | here that's fine anyway Ryan and I sat |
| 1845s | down I think it was about two hours |
| 1848s | worth of recording that we did over the |
| 1850s | phone that we literally recorded the |
| 1852s | whole bit of the Fortuna the opening |
| 1855s | mission to Fortuna where you get to meet |
| 1858s | Thursby |
| 1860s | and you need to meet utakome business |
| 1864s | smoke finger and rude dude and everybody |
| 1866s | and as I was again reading the whole |
| 1869s | script it's one of the great things |
| 1870s | about warframe is that they give you the |
| 1871s | whole script so I'm reading everything |
| 1873s | that's going wow look at all these |
| 1874s | characters this is so cool who are these |
| 1877s | people and then you read all this stuff |
| 1879s | and as I got further and further and |
| 1881s | further I only had one thought like |
| 1883s | nothing I was a bastard I I hate myself |
| 1888s | I punch myself if I could oh I will you |
| 1892s | know just something but it just sounds |
| 1894s | if you love it so much Lucas yeah it is |
| 1896s | one of those things it's that and I've |
| 1898s | learned to appreciate that you |
| 1900s | I'm so yeah you know you hate you love |
| 1902s | to hate him you love to hate him that's |
| 1903s | like I have no problem playing those |
| 1905s | characters until the day I die |
| 1907s | new problem but I I remember I remember |
| 1913s | specifically one line where I was just |
| 1916s | reading it out loud and I was just going |
| 1918s | like and I know what it was - it was |
| 1925s | when he called out único the floor boss |
| 1929s | and it was just like Oh finally someone |
| 1932s | with some backbone bring me or what was |
| 1936s | it bring me the 50 50 50 solaris for |
| 1940s | solaris for forebrain shelving you have |
| 1950s | do you get to ask like no make it more |
| 1953s | evil you want to we want to hate that oh |
| 1954s | yeah I've done that |
| 1955s | oh yeah it's not that - they're like |
| 1956s | yeah you enjoyed that too much could you |
| 1959s | like a lot more with that why it's |
| 1964s | always the take when there's laughing in |
| 1966s | the room and you know you're just like |
| 1967s | oh my god this is crazy |
| 1969s | yeah thank you listen over the talk sure |
| 1970s | it's here's here's your line it's a cute |
| 1972s | puppy now snap its neck yeah that's like |
| 1975s | humerus right so we have a very special |
| 1982s | video from our sound team next door if |
| 1983s | you want to insure this at all or what's |
| 1985s | your what do you think what's your |
| 1986s | thinking here |
| 1987s | sorry we're gonna intro this video sure |
| 1989s | yeah yeah so yeah so so this is a bunch |
| 1992s | of behind the scenes of some of the |
| 1994s | sound design that we do for the game |
| 1996s | you'll see there's modular which if any |
| 2000s | of you who watched any of our other kind |
| 2002s | of live streams modular is a big big |
| 2005s | thing at de these days and the de sound |
| 2008s | designers paychecks automatically get |
| 2010s | garnished to go to modular purchases but |
| 2014s | yeah so lot of that and a lot of behind |
| 2017s | the scenes of like recording you'll see |
| 2019s | some stuff for wisp in here |
| 2021s | we're about to break some hearts for |
| 2022s | people that are a little too in love |
| 2024s | with what spicing yeah especially if you |
| 2025s | love your sounds I think there's a |
| 2027s | moment in this video that's like the the |
| 2028s | curtain gets pulled back and yeah the |
| 2030s | curtain being pulled back here so this |
| 2032s | and it's the magic of sound design you |
| 2035s | know it really it's an amazing job and |
| 2037s | it's it's amazing that you get to bring |
| 2039s | life to two things that are silent and |
| 2042s | it's like okay here you go here's |
| 2044s | something that doesn't make any sound |
| 2045s | now think of a cool way to give this |
| 2048s | character or this thing a sound in the |
| 2051s | game and by the way do it differently |
| 2053s | than you did the last time right so |
| 2055s | we're always looking for new sounds the |
| 2057s | guys that are always out recording |
| 2058s | things and yeah and you'll see some of |
| 2061s | that in this video you are in for a |
| 2062s | treat let's bring the house lights down |
| 2063s | make sure the sounds to the our |
| 2066s | wonderful sound team and here we go |
| 2080s | [Music] |
| 2086s | [Applause] |
| 2090s | [Music] |
| 2091s | [Applause] |
| 2100s | [Music] |
| 2106s | [Applause] |
| 2165s | [Music] |
| 2167s | [Applause] |
| 2183s | [Music] |
| 2218s | [Music] |
| 2230s | [Music] |
| 2243s | [Music] |
| 2253s | [Music] |
| 2259s | [Music] |
| 2266s | [Music] |
| 2281s | [Music] |
| 2287s | [Applause] |
| 2289s | [Music] |
| 2304s | [Music] |
| 2340s | that doesn't count |
| 2344s | yeah Wow Wow as a little sneak peek at |
| 2351s | some new music that's gonna be in the |
| 2353s | game |
| 2355s | and it's just a little thing about that |
| 2357s | whole thing it just reinforces the fact |
| 2359s | that you have to record many different |
| 2361s | sounds and you know the wood stuff for |
| 2365s | example who knows we may use that stuff |
| 2366s | in a gun you know the the chains like |
| 2368s | you know it doesn't have to be literal |
| 2370s | that's the one thing if you want if |
| 2372s | you're looking to get into sound design |
| 2374s | always have anything that makes a sound |
| 2376s | can be anything you want it to be and it |
| 2379s | doesn't have to be the thing that it |
| 2380s | currently is which is amazing you're |
| 2382s | kind of like a Alchemist or something |
| 2384s | here |
| 2384s | you're changing water into wine or |
| 2387s | something which is yeah which is amazing |
| 2390s | so always recording stuff and you never |
| 2393s | know what you're gonna end up using it |
| 2394s | for it so a huge thank you to providing |
| 2396s | that video I mean the sound team is up |
| 2397s | here in the front row after the panel |
| 2399s | hopefully they can all go sign some |
| 2400s | autographs after this you guys do |
| 2401s | amazing work so that's awesome on again |

| 2410s | when people see pretty big spoilers and |
| 2412s | yeah you'll see so I have a little |
| 2413s | trivia game but due to time in the panel |
| 2416s | to still get a Q&A and we're just gonna |
| 2417s | do the first half of the trivia which is |
| 2419s | you have to guess the warframe sound so |
| 2422s | I'm gonna play a sound that's a cap our |
| 2424s | cast of a gun warframe okay as a group |
| 2427s | individually however you want you can as |
| 2429s | a group as a group you can guess I can |

| 2455s | think we can just strike through that |
| 2456s | one all right |
| 2457s | all right I don't want to say I don't |
| 2461s | want to say Cora I've a funny good story |
| 2476s | again behind Baruch and his sound design |
| 2478s | which Willem are one of our sound |
| 2481s | designers created you know he used a lot |
| 2484s | of like rain sticks and a lot of like |
| 2487s | pieces of wood and stuff to give Baruch |
| 2490s | a kind of very tribal elemental feel and |
| 2494s | of course if you've been down to the in |
| 2496s | the museum museum you'll see something |
| 2498s | very special that was used for baroque |
| 2499s | that willem brought into the office one |
| 2502s | day and we were like okay he's |
| 2503s | officially gone over the deep end but it |
| 2505s | ended up working amazing so that's |
| 2507s | awesome all right number two here we go |

| 2518s | think yeah |
| 2521s | Octavia yeah yeah yeah Gaara no it is |
| 2525s | Gaara that's nicely done guys yeah sound |
| 2528s | like was any glass harm the making of |

| 2534s | is I don't wasn't |
| 2536s | was there any glass harmed in that but |
| 2538s | yeah we needed separate insurance |
| 2540s | policies when we bring the glass out but |
| 2542s | you know ring you know filling a glass |
| 2544s | with water and running your finger on it |
| 2547s | and all of that kind of stuff and you |
| 2549s | know it's interesting that everybody |
| 2550s | kind of really associated that with |
| 2553s | Guerra and I think she's one of the best |
| 2556s | frames oh you're gonna get you're gonna |
| 2558s | make some fans in chat live but Guerra |
| 2560s | means all right here we go this one's |
| 2563s | tough this one's tough Wow there you |
| 2569s | guys are okay that's good I think okay |
| 2576s | Cheryl's saying Rhino on this one's a |
| 2579s | really good guess right I guess if I |
| 2583s | only played melee characters you can ask |
| 2588s | the audience if you wanna only knew a |
| 2589s | Rhino main in the audience audience we |
| 2591s | should ask the audience |
| 2595s | then IRL is it an arson Aros yeah is |
| 2600s | that the tube one is that the two okay |
| 2603s | all right that makes more sense all |
| 2607s | right we have one more sound trivia and |
| 2610s | then we're gonna sit we're gonna take |
| 2611s | about ten questions so if you guys want |
| 2613s | to line up we'll do that |
| 2615s | so first if anyone has any questions for |
| 2616s | a sound team we'll take those after we |
| 2618s | do the final trivia yeah Frost I think I |
| 2637s | would hope I would yeah sounds like nice |
| 2642s | stuff yeah we went out recording the |
| 2644s | lips and frost Mane's I'm like I know |
| 2646s | that's was real ice used in the making |
| 2652s | of that yeah definitely and see that's |
| 2654s | the thing to like sometimes the real |
| 2655s | thing is the real thing and it's up to |
| 2657s | you to kind of put it together and weave |
| 2659s | it into something new and exciting and |
| 2661s | you know give it a personality and a |
| 2664s | life so yeah so we're gonna do about |
| 2666s | five minutes of questions and then there |
| 2669s | is another panel after us so we want to |
| 2670s | get enough time to set up so we'll |
| 2672s | happily take our first question just let |
| 2673s | us know your name and then your question |
| 2675s | bring the mic up nice and close my alias |
| 2679s | is my mind is stable and excellent thank |
| 2684s | you what collection of programs or a |
| 2688s | program do you use to make all the |
| 2691s | sounds that you do for this game yeah so |
| 2694s | the game engine that we use is our own |
| 2696s | engine which is amazing we've developed |
| 2699s | out over many years that plays a big |
| 2700s | role in it but then we use a variety of |
| 2703s | programs we use Pro Tools we use Reaper |
| 2705s | and just about every plug-in Under the |
| 2708s | Sun you know you just got to try |
| 2710s | different things but it's not as much |
| 2712s | about that as it is about your |
| 2714s | imagination you know you could use |
| 2716s | audacity if you want man if that's what |
| 2718s | works honestly like you don't need crazy |
| 2721s | amount of expensive gear you just you |
| 2723s | need more the more the thing you need is |
| 2725s | your imagination |
| 2726s | and that's the most important thing so |
| 2727s | thank you for thank all right next |
| 2730s | question |
| 2730s | hello again we meet again FAO how are |
| 2733s | you doing good I have to just say I have |
| 2736s | not done anything professionals I |
| 2738s | haven't done anything professional since |
| 2739s | last we spoke |
| 2740s | okay I'm supposed to be doing stuff but |
| 2742s | to uh I'm creating your name I'm sorry |
| 2744s | Carol |
| 2745s | all right George I'm I'm my my true |
| 2750s | skills are in writing and even though I |
| 2753s | can do voices I another audio stuff I'm |
| 2756s | more apt into the writing pictures of it |
| 2759s | what would I do if I were to be a sound |
| 2762s | designer like how would I put that my |
| 2764s | skills to the test so what would you do |
| 2766s | to be a sound designer yeah as just as a |
| 2769s | writer the transition as a writer zone |
| 2771s | yeah um you know I think there are |
| 2773s | parallels there for sure you know |
| 2775s | because again you're using your |
| 2776s | imagination you're using your creativity |
| 2777s | to make something that didn't exist |
| 2779s | before and that's all that sound design |
| 2781s | is is it's taking your taking words and |
| 2784s | you're putting them together to make you |
| 2787s | know of something beautiful and that's |
| 2789s | what you do a sound design you're taking |
| 2790s | all these separate sounds you're putting |
| 2792s | them together and you're making |
| 2793s | something completely new out of it so |
| 2795s | again it's just it's like just start |
| 2798s | doing it and the more you do it the |
| 2800s | better you'll get honestly |
| 2801s | so yeah and before I hand this off Neff |
| 2804s | I'm working on a project in the |
| 2806s | background and you're the one the main |
| 2808s | antagonists I I'm I'm on pins and |
| 2811s | needles oh you're gonna try to retaking |
| 2815s | I Oh after rebels take it from you I'm |

| 2837s | more my favorite characters is tava Gore |
| 2841s | especially with the combination of voice |
| 2843s | and thus correct when can we see him |

| 2849s | what can we see him again |
| 2850s | when can we |

| 2860s | right now but you know I mean she'll |
| 2863s | come back cuz well save that one some of |
| 2866s | the best lines is from that limit Tommy |
| 2867s | fan-dude |
| 2868s | onto the ward a few little dangly bits |
| 2872s | and give more to the for you hmm I got |
| 2876s | to mock myself that was the best part of |
| 2878s | that entire line I was like cuz I knew |
| 2880s | exactly how he was gonna say that line |
| 2882s | so I'm like how am I gonna make fun of |
| 2883s | myself oh I know exactly huh yeah I mean |
| 2886s | he had one for a frickin Aled the |
| 2888s | jellies and floppy jellyfish yeah washed |
| 2892s | up on the beach now those lines I'd love |
| 2897s | to see another two-minute for Gore event |
| 2899s | like that we're actually only have time |
| 2904s | for one more question I'm so sorry so |
| 2905s | this will be the last question |
| 2906s | hello my username is wily 383 and my |
| 2910s | question after watching that video was |
| 2912s | how exactly do you come up with the |
| 2914s | different ways to make the sounds that |
| 2916s | you use because some of those are just |
| 2918s | insanely creative how do you come up |
| 2920s | with that you just have to keep doing it |
| 2922s | and do it all the time and you know like |
| 2925s | as a sound designer you're walking |
| 2926s | through the world and you're always |
| 2927s | listening for things and you're always |
| 2929s | observing things it's a great example I |
| 2931s | remember at the LCBO here in town I |
| 2935s | don't for any of you know it's the the |
| 2937s | liquor store I don't go there much but |
| 2940s | they have they they have these sliding |
| 2943s | doors the automatic doors and I remember |
| 2946s | us a few years ago |
| 2947s | it just made this it was kind of like |
| 2949s | broken and it made this really |
| 2950s | interesting kind of opening sound and I |
| 2953s | stopped like what I was doing and I went |
| 2956s | and I got my recorder and I went back |
| 2958s | and I stood outside the store with the |
| 2960s | recorder and people walking by and |
| 2962s | looking at me and I'm like at whatever |
| 2963s | so you know you you need to capture that |
| 2965s | sound and you're like I don't have a use |
| 2967s | for that right now but I'll probably use |
| 2969s | it somewhere at some point in time like |
| 2971s | you wanted in the library it's like it's |
| 2976s | like going to it's like going to a sale |
| 2978s | going like I don't need this right now |
| 2980s | but I'm gonna buy it I'll find a use for |
| 2984s | you |
| 2985s | yeah writer you just have to write those |
| 2988s | lines down when you get them and you'll |
| 2990s | have a part that you can write for |
| 2991s | someone later yeah it's like keeping a |
| 2993s | diary or or anything right it's like you |
| 2995s | collect it and then you know and funny |
| 2997s | enough to like you remember to it's like |
| 2999s | you collect it you put it away you |
| 3001s | forget about it and then there's an |
| 3002s | opportunity where think you know what |
| 3004s | that sound would be great here and and |
| 3006s | then you go and you find it and you use |
| 3008s | it and so yeah huge round of applause |
| 3011s | for our panelists and question answer |
| 3012s | thank you guys so much |
| 3014s | [Applause] |
| 3017s | all right |
