  • Don't worry that you might be judged her that you're doing it wrong.

  • As far as you're concerned, you're doing a great and just carry yourself with that confidence, because that was really close.

  • This guy scares me this much.

  • Okay, that's how that's how close he waas.

  • So I'm kind of hoping that he goes back in the construction.

  • Abel, what's going on?

  • Everybody is able to be a body.

  • It will be that I am Barbara, you might know me.

  • Is Abeley that bookie pay for one of brothers?

  • Marvin the Martian from space tweeting.

  • And I'm gonna be doing a whole bunch of characters for you guys.

  • And you're gonna be doing a whole bunch of characters for me.

  • I want to hear your best, Porky.

  • I want your best, Marvin the Martian and that lovely.

  • Let's see what you guys got.

  • Open seats.

  • 80 pages.

  • 23 of your would be cushion instruction, everybody many, many years.

  • What's he doing?

  • He's doing it on here.

  • Okay, so this is kind of interesting.

  • And here's why a lot of people don't know that many of Mel Blanc's voices were sped up electronically.

  • His porky pig was sped up.

  • Mine usually isn't sped up.

  • This actor probably heard something that the characters a little bit spent, so he's trying on helium.

  • I don't necessarily recommend the helium as an acting technique for characters because I think you can kind of kill you because it pitched his voice up.

  • It was kind of fun, and it worked for the character able to, and you don't have to get the hell early.

  • You don't have to use the heat level E and then a dump to direct people.

  • All right, let's try another one.

  • Could I have your idiotic?

  • Yeah, you're John here.

  • The TV, that's all.

  • Okay, They're monsters from Space Jam.

  • Pardon me, Mr Jordan.

  • Your John Hancock.

  • John Hancock.

  • I know this line.

  • So let's talk about Porky Stutter.

  • Pretty good dude.

  • Porky Stutter.

  • That buddy, Buddy, Buddy, Buddy, that's all, folks.

  • There's a pattern.

  • There's a real way that Mel Blanc, created to stutter for every word, is not.

  • Buddy, buddy, buddy, Buddy, that's It's the beginning of every word.

  • You're saying that you're stuttering on its monsters.

  • Not many, many, many, many monsters.

  • It's a mommy and me.

  • It'll be able, be it the way It will be a same pattern, same formula for every single word.

  • He's pretty good.

  • He's not bad.

  • What I would love to have heard from a lot of these is original dialogue because it's really easy to mimic the catchphrase.

  • I was tell my students he didn't read the front page of a newspaper in character, especially if you're making a classic character, then you probably know the character one step more than just imitating the catchphrases.

  • You got to start with something, and that was fun.

  • I love his energy at the money he's standing.

  • Look at that.

  • Look at the expression.

  • Look in his eyes.

  • He's committed.

  • You physically play the character.

  • The voice will follow.

  • So he's definitely committed.

  • He's, he's and he's in his pig zone.

  • Wow.

  • Okay, so I think that would if I knew a voice like this and it comes with Katharine Hepburn.

  • I couldn't new Parky picks like that.

  • That's all.

  • Thanks.

  • I think I'd get a headache, some of them in the sense that you said about the son of a gun that was from a gag reel, a Christmas holiday gag reel that they did it.

  • Warner Brothers back in the days of black and white cartoons, you thought I was gonna say, as the son of a bitch, that's what she was doing.

  • It was fun.

  • It was pretty good.

  • I just don't think an eight hour session moving her head that I don't think that's healthy.

  • It looks like it's porky pig with a concussion.

  • But if it helps you with the character again, I said earlier, if you physically played the character, the voice will follow.

  • And by golly, did she commit physically Hamptons immediately?

  • A pretty nice if you get pretty nice, you get okay, Okay.

  • He's in the laundry room way.

  • Okay, so this is the Porky pig stutter Ad lib.

  • People often ask me, Is the ad lib in the script or is it in my head?

  • It's both.

  • Sometimes the writer does write the Adelaide joke.

  • What I mean by ad lib joke is if the line was Would you like me to walk your dog?

  • Porky?

  • My say able Would you like me?

  • Don't walk you to the dog dog urine into the hot dog.

  • You're cocker spaniel.

  • I stutter as long as it takes me to think of the ad lib.

  • There's no set time.

  • There's no set number of stutters.

  • Sometimes it's fast.

  • Sometimes it's not.

  • So this gentleman was playing with that stutter ad lib joke At the end, he looks frightened.

  • There's no reason to look frightened.

  • This search is you and your own camera with the superimposed knows.

  • I think that's the laundry room behind you.

  • We have to do what we have to do with our with our home studios.

  • Sometimes it's the laundry room.

  • Sometimes it's a real expensive studio.

  • But isn't it nice that he can do a stuttering pig while washing his underwear?

  • I wait.

  • Great.

  • Okay, Tweedy's sped up Elektronik Lee.

  • So when I do Tweety or Mel Blank did Tweety Tweety is about, like here.

  • Oh, you big pretty.

  • And then it sped up.

  • If you have ah, home studio or even audacity or garage band or twisted wave play with the speed or the pitch 10%.

  • 5% religious depends on how your natural voice is.

  • My natural voice is a little bit more tender than Mel Blanc's.

  • He had a much deeper bass, your voice when they would speed him up.

  • It had a different sound than when they speed me up and limit like Parky, I don't think the Chevy's will be it.

  • Spend it all able because I could just needed to do.

  • I can just the unity and it comes out naturally.

  • The Smurfs were sped up electronically.

  • Speed that up, and it sounds like Speedy Gonzales.

  • Right now, it just sounds like me trying to do Speedy Gonzalez.

  • But that was fun.

  • Raising the pitch.

  • Naturally, that was fun.

  • Try to play with the speed e Call a party.

  • Okay, let's talk about Tweedy's gender.

  • Shall we?

  • Is tweeting male or female?

  • We don't know.

  • Tweety was originally based on Bob Clampetts baby pictures.

  • Bob was definitely a male.

  • There was one cartoon where Sylvester painted his finger to look like a female bird, and he put it in a bird's nest to flirt with Tweetie.

  • She didn't We really, really, really well, the pitch of your natural voice works for that character.

  • I would love to hear that character sped up.

  • I've never heard Ah lady do Tweety.

  • That was really kind of cool between.

  • He has a speech impediment.

  • His elbows and his ours are W she They're really nice job of staying consistent on that.

  • That's not easy to do when they write up our scripts for the loony tunes, I try to ask them, Don't type in frenetically Have the character would speak.

  • I can't find the real words when they are and the L words are written with a W or Porky's PP pp PP PP IS It's just hard to find the story, So you really want to practice these characters with the impediments, practice reading anything, practice reading something that isn't written out phonetically, like the character speaks and just know that that's just how the character naturally speaks a singing to this upsurge wife full of hope.

  • You continue with free wing while feeling for the job.

  • Hey, little smile The end okay?

  • Usually have to keep your eyes up on when you're reading scripts.

  • But that's okay.

  • He's pretty good.

  • I mean, he had the character.

  • He knew that particular classic Looney Tunes Very, very, very well.

  • Here's my advice to this guy.

  • Know you're doing it pretty well and commit to it so I can I can see him judging himself.

  • One of the secrets that I was taught when I was studying voiceover was carry herself as a success.

  • Carry yourself as if you know what you're doing, and the world will treat you accordingly.

  • Just commit.

  • Don't worry that you might be judged her that you're doing it wrong.

  • As far as you're concerned, you're doing it great and just carry yourself with that confidence because that was really close.

  • This guy scares me this much.

  • Okay, that's how that's how close he waas.

  • So I'm kind of hoping that he goes back in the construction.

  • Where's the kaboom?

  • There was supposed to be an earth shattering Kaboom.

  • Where's the kaboom?

  • There was supposed to be an earth shattering kaboom!

  • The You Ludie and Q 36 explosive space modulator.

  • That creature has stolen the space modulator.

  • Okay, so voices really actually pretty darn good visit.

  • Lee played the character.

  • The voice will follow if you watch.

  • When he was doing Marvin, he was being kind of exuberant with his arms.

  • You know, that creature has stolen the space more generator.

  • Marvin wouldn't do that.

  • Marvel would would be more like, Where's the kaboom?

  • That creature has stolen the spares more delayed hall.

  • So he's a little bit more dry.

  • Little Lord droll.

  • He's not gonna be that physical.

  • So the voice was great.

  • I would bring the physical down, work the eyes a little bit more when you're playing Martin.

  • The most angry I've ever seen Marvin get would be when he was blown up and he looked at the camera goes, I'm not angry.

  • Just terribly, terribly hurt.

  • You got the voice, buddy.

  • You got You got the personality, even got the acting, Bring down the physical.

  • Sometimes nerves makes you do a little bit too much with your body with certain characters.

  • But that was pretty good.

  • Your team will forfeit the game if you do not find 1/5 player, your team for the cash game.

  • Just being my favorite voice to do from Looney Tunes.

  • I'm hearing more Sammy Davis from the sky than the Marvin, so maybe if I will work on Sammy Davis, I do this guy's impression of Marvin the Martian.

  • I'm just on the side of my face.

  • Wow, that was really a lackey is any sort of thing, baby, but you definitely know your space jam dialogue.

  • I'll tell you a little secret about space Jim.

  • Improv guys study improv, even if you're reading from a script.

  • When we did space Jam, so much of the performance was improvised as their discretion.

  • The producers, whatever they want to use.

  • But improv skills come in so handy with doing animation.

  • Precisely, sir.

  • Out to two.

  • The creature has stolen the space modulator delays, delays, capture that creature and returning Ludie Um, P 36 explosive space modulator I love at the end when he just goes on and his eyes get rolling again.

  • Vocally, he sounded really We're really close, really working on the original scripted dialogue from A from a real Looney tune.

  • Short.

  • Pretty damn good.

  • He's in.

  • He's in the right place.

  • He's, he's he's got the voice.

  • All characters have a voice, but not all voices have character, so you gotta find the layers of the onion to make it an entire bulb of onion.

  • It's not just one layer of voices.

  • It's multifaceted If you wanna watch me work.

  • If you were to watch Tom Kenny work, if you were to watch or Mel Blanc from head to toe, he would become these characters.

  • It's not just doing Marvin's voice isn't that lovely?

  • It's also doing Marvin's eyes and its various in his facial expressions to bring him to live.

  • Don't just think voice guys from head to toe play these characters think character.

  • Think acting.

  • Not just sound, but he's in there.

  • He's in the ballpark for the sound.

  • Please continue, and I tell the story of how I got this character Can't tell this story.

  • I go to Disney to to do this film called The Emperor's New Groove.

  • They tell me I'm playing a swirl and the director Mark Kendall, shows me the script.

  • He goes, You're doing a scene with this guy crunk and he speaks squirrel language.

  • He'll say to you.

  • Squeak, squeak and squeak, squeak and you'll speak Squirrel Hill.

  • Translate it.

  • And I said, So you want me to say Squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak?

  • And they said, No, no, no.

  • We want you to create a squirrel language I said, Oh, okay, well, can I think about it for a few minutes?

  • He said, Sure, So I go outside the soundstage political park.

  • I'm sitting on a place like a park bench, grass trees and, like squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak.

  • I swear a little squirrel climbs down a tree comes up to me and its hind legs looks at me and he goes out and went, Thank you.

  • I go back into the studio and I said to Mark, Read cranks, line, say, Squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, he goes, Squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak And he goes, Yeah, that'll work.

  • That's how I created that character.

  • So let's talk about him through both Jaguars brutal.

  • He kind of did there during a couple of different versions of Bucky we recorded on several different days and I kind of adjusted and changed the way I played him.

  • He kind of tried to do both versions of Bucky that was done in the film Pretty darned, by the way, Dude, your crock was good to a child, Patrick.

  • His gait is a pretty good crock.

  • We call it the bubble voice that's in the back of your throat.

  • Okay, literally lives.

  • Rather some of it when it gets too high, you can't understand it, for Bucky didn't need to understand.

  • It was just jibber jabber.

  • So you need to play with the instrument.

  • Where do these characters live?

  • You may not be ableto things high.

  • You might have a little sound of gravel because that's where it lives.

  • In your voice.

  • It's just experimenting.

  • Record yourself, play and hear it back.

  • But yeah, that's fun, All right.

  • So for those of you who are really looking to play classic characters, of course you can do.

  • I'm going to blow up the Earth.

  • People think that you can do all the catchphrases.

  • If you really want to demonstrate that you know the character, just get a random newspaper or magazine.

  • Open it up and start reading the article to demonstrate this.

  • I have a little magazine called Vanity Fair is an ice cold read.

  • I've not prepared a thing, and this will be Porky Pig reading an article from Vanity Fair and the sun dappled Sun somebody about 10 years ago.

  • 10 years ago.

  • About a decade ago, able of all these slightly manic man threw open the door at the J.

  • Crew Collection Boutique on the corner of Madison Avenue and the East 79th.

  • They used to be 79 years to the day with in New York ice cold read not even a cola redos of frozen read.

  • So you want to practice classic characters don't do.

  • The catchphrase is find something brand new and bring that to life.

  • If you can stay in character and tell the story, you don't bring the job.

  • You guys rock.

  • This was great.

  • Please don't quite practice as as much as you think you should, because I still have to pay my mortgage.

  • That was fun.

  • Thank you, guys.

  • Thank you.

  • Vanity Fair.

  • I'm Bob Bergen until next time.

  • Even the end of the day.

  • But what's my line?

  • Oh, yeah, that's all, folks.

Don't worry that you might be judged her that you're doing it wrong.
