I forget what those things are that people do to warm up your voice. Hi Vanity Fair, I'm Will Forte. I'm coming to you from my home today. Uh, you may recognize my voice as Abraham Lincoln from the 20 years ago MTV show Clone High. The more recent Lego movies, 1 and 2, I was also Abraham Lincoln. And I am in the upcoming Netflix movie, The Willoughbys, as Timothy Willoughby. I will be improvising some new cartoon character voices for you today. Hope you enjoy. This is a hot dog, who is about to eat a hot dog. So, he is you know, wham looking at a cannibal hotdog. [Silly dopey voice] Would be more more in this zone. Just kind of oblivious to everything 'cause he's just he's just going to naturally be happy. Because he's, you know, he's okay with eating one of his own kind. He's going to be pretty much okay with everything, so he's, you know, he's definitely got some very kind wonderful eyes. And yeah, he's just going to fry up a, what could be, his brother or his sister. And, he's going and, or serve it to somebody and be okay with it. Or, you know, or this could be one of those guys who is a serial killer. I mean. I think with that he would be, [crazed laughing] he's kind of excited, but there's also an edge to him. [nervous laughter] he's just like, no I don't see anything wrong with this. What would be wrong with this? I'm just, uh, frying up some of my own kind, and I'm about to eat them. [crazed laughter] What are you up to today? How are you? [manic laughter] [normal voice] Oh my God, this is like going to therapy. This guy, I don't know what's going on with this guy. He's like, a an alien zombie. He does not have good dental, I don't think he's got great grasp of the English language. And he definitely has an underbite, so let's see. What would he, what would be something? [silly voice] Hi, how are you? How, how are you? I want to see what his mouth looks like when he opens it up. But, maybe there is some friendliness in there. [silly airy voice] Oh, hi there! How are you? [normal laughing] What if that was the voice? [effeminate airy voice] Hi, how are you! I know I don't look great right now. I have been running around doing errands all day. And, I have not been able to take a shower yet, so don't, so just excuse me for the way I look right now. [normal voice] For some reason, I am not sure which which person I should be doing a voice for, but oh! Do you know what I just noticed? I noticed the breasts on the alien. Which for some reason when I looked at the aliens face, I thought it was a male alien, a malien. Um, but I think it is a femalien. But, who knows? Maybe, 'cause for some reason when I look at the face of this alien, it's just a smooth, it's like, James Earl Jones. Smooth, suave with the voice like, [Relaxing smooth voice] Don't you worry, we're going to get through this. We're going to get you back down to Earth. I'm in love with you, Trent. You're a great astronaut. And you believe in yourself, Trent. Because, I believe in you. And then Trent, the astronaut, is like, [goofy innocent voice] Thank you so much, for believing in me. Because sometimes it's hard for me. I was brought up in a family where I was told, and taught, not to believe in yourself. I was ridiculed, I was, I could never do anything right. So, for you to compliment me in such a way, I'm starting to believe it. [silky voice] Well believe it, because you're the real deal. [normal voice] So, this guy is just like, he's given up. He just is he's lying down on the ground. He's just given up on life. He's hanging on by a thread. I hear you, bro. I hear ya. [Whiney nasally voice] Oh! This guy is just so upset about everything. It's the world's not going good for him. And, everyone has it out for him. What do I have to do to be treated fairly? [whining moans] I woke up this morning and the toaster was broken. And so, I had to eat my bread un-toasted, and then I went in I ran out of gas, as I was driving my car. And it was just so unfair. And, I know I should have put gas in, but god. Then I got to work, and I got fired. Why does the world? Why is it so against me? [normal voice] Okay, so for this one, I'm just as interested in this dude to the left, as I am to the this ghoulish zombie to the right. [crazed spooky voice] Zombies, coming for you. [grunting sounds] Uh, [normal voice] And then, this guy on the left, is just like, [cheery silly voice] Hey, hey buds! Come on, just relax-relax. I don't, you know. I know that I look, you know, like good lean meat for you, and you would like to take some of my, take some of my flesh and put it in your mouth, and eat it. But, uh, hey there is probably a lot of more other tasty people that, you know, there's some I know- I have a couple fat friends who are just right down the road. [normal voice] Okay, if he was the leader of a Shakespearian zombie movie. [Shakespearian voice] Hither, yon hither thy-thy-thy zombie, hunger do not, do not come after me. There be meat down the way. Beware my wash [unclear] [normal voice] they've got some kind of taming of the shrew line that I can't remember what it is. [Shakespearian voice] But 'tis it's just down the road. Is where the-the better meat is. I would just say, go down there, what do you have to lose? [Deep voice] Ah, but certainly want some meat with a little more fat on it then myself. [normal voice] And then the zombies would be like, [deep airy voice] Yes, we will go hither down the road, [normal voice] god that does not sound. I've got to work on my zombies. Okay, so here we've got, we've got a guy. This is a, what looks to me, to be a waiter. And, for some reason, this guy looks French. Very French, to me. [ speaking with French accent] To me, this is a guy, he does not like what he's doing. So, he is kind of automatically pissed off. He has a French accent, like this. I do not do accents very well, so I do not know if this is coming across as French. Whatever happens happens, and this is what is happening, so deal with it. Here's the wine. Um, Go f*ck yourself. [chuckling] [normal voice] Okay. Okay, this guy is flat out crazy. I mean, you would have to be the worst detective in the world to not know he's crazy. He's got a straight jacket on. And his tongue is hanging out of his mouth. And his eyes are all, one eye is looking one way, the other is looking the other way. [incomprehensive sounds] What are we talking about again? I don't- did anybody hear that? Did anybody see that? I could have sworn I just saw a bird come here in the wing. And, uh yeah, but maybe not a bird. But, [unclear] had a little hair on it. [laughing] [normal voice] I'm never going to get a job again. `Okay so, what I am seeing here is, basically, a big nose with some eyes on the top of it. Um, seems like this is going to be a character that should probably have a lot to do with its nose. [nasally voice] Oh hey, how ya doin'? [normal voice] I don't know maybe it's kind of, it's a big nose though. Maybe it's, maybe its nose wouldn't be blocked up, because he's got such huge air passages. [loud booming voice] He definitely seems like this kind of guy. Who is kind of, kind of real excited. His arms are out to the side, and his eyes are up on the top. So, uh yeah, he's really loving being with people. Very animated, uh or, maybe these aren't even animations. Maybe that's just his eyebrows. [normal voice] I don't know. It seems like the voice kind of shifted. But, sometimes that happens! Sometimes your voice just kind of changes. I bet if you listen to Homer Simpson in the first year of "The Simpsons" he probably- probably changed, uh, each season. Do you know what this guy reminds, this, I felt like this was the same guy. The one guy, who was stopping the ghouls. He's either scared of music, or he's, or he like woke up from a coma- that's it. He woke up from a coma with the ability to play expert piano. And he didn't have any idea how to play piano before. You can see in his eyes, it's like, [goofy voice] What is? What is coming out of my fingers? I was a, I don't know what I did, I- in the coma lasted for so long that I can't remember what I used to do. But, I know I didn't play piano. And now I do! I'm a piano player! Gifted, in a way that I never knew! Oh my god! But, I know one thing's for sure, I can't improvise well. Dialogue wise, on a piano I can do very well. Quite well, surprisingly. When I touch these keys, the music is pouring out of me. It's like my soul knows how to play the piano, but my body didn't. [normal voice] I don't know what the voice of this guy sounds like, but I know his backstory, and definitely it's that he had never played the piano before. But now, he can play beautifully. Not every voice is going to be a winner. Getting to be a voice actor is the best thing of all time, it's so fun. Like, when you're acting being cartoony can be a bad thing. But, when you're doing a voice for an animated-animated show, obviously it is cartoony. Look at pictures, make voices come out of the pictures, just have fun with yourself. You'll eventually figure out what voices are your favorite ones to do, and you can just keep experimenting and adding layers and adding layers. Just, uh, just don't stop. Just keep working on it. I am Will Forte, uh, that was my take on some new cartoon voices. I hope you enjoyed watching. Uh, thank you for watching, and stay safe.
