Voice actor, an animation known for doing Sponge Bob Square pants his snail Gary, the narrator, lets his two hours later.

And then other stuff like the Ice King on adventure time.

Heffer on Rocco's modern life, the narrator on Power Puff Girls Layer one of our club girls and, uh, a couple of 100 other things on my IMDB.

So I'm about to see some cartoon characters that I've never seen and try to come up with their voices what they might sound like right here on the spot.

Great.

Yeah, Goofy is always good.

Go to four cartoons.

This guy's got the again.

You got the teeth, protruding teeth.

You got the big bulgy eyes.

This is a dragon who's just really happy to be a dragon.

But this is a dragon who's really happy to be a dragon.

He almost looks like he's surprised to be flying.

Hi.

I actually achieve lift off.

Okay?

It's only three feet off the ground, but it's a start.

Oh, boy.

Hello, sonny.

I want to be in your new movie.

How to train your Sorry.

Sorry.

I hit the ground.

All right.

Maybe you could even make him stupider like this.

Ooh.

Or maybe you could even shave off a couple of I Q points and make him even dope, ear flapping and flapping and flapping.

I e.

Of course, the master of that kind of character is Bill Fargo.

Bucky.

That does, Patrick.

He would have this character nailed.

This is obviously your standard issue megalomaniacal madman who wants to take over the world.

I think he's wearing a lab coat.

He's got the bushy eyebrows.

He's even wringing his hands, and he's laughing.

So I am the president of show business.

My master plan is to make sure that every movie released is a superhero movie.

Actors in green screens, digital explosions, everything, every movie.

That's what it's all going to be.

Sometimes when you're auditioning for stuff, they tell you exactly what they want.

But you're kind of trying to find a back door to it.

Maybe trying to find something that pops a little that's a possibility that they haven't thought of, but that, But that still fits.

Or maybe maybe you'll give him some sort of an accent like that.

Some sort of them.

I've got it.

My master plan is almost reaching fruition.

Yes, soon.

Let me see.

Let me do that again.

Or Mr Plane there.

It's kind of kind of Mr Magoo.

Look too good.

Late.

Late, late, Late for his eyebrow threading appointment.

Sometimes they'll say no accents.

We don't want any accidents and you go, I'm going to put a little accent on there that maybe isn't 100% an accent.

But look into my eyes.

Look into my eyebrows.

That's where my power is.

Me.

Well, let's see.

So this is a frog.

But he's a He's a very fancy frog.

Froggy went a courting.

He did ride a sword and pistol by his side.

When is my pistol?

There's no place to hide a pistol When you wearing these leg breaches?

He's sort of snooty.

He's got his nose literally in the air.

Well, maybe you could give him some self about foreign accent.

I am a frog.

I am a French fog.

Is that an oxymoron?

No.

Wait a minute.

Wait.

I don't want French.

People don't want French people mad at me.

Okay?

Yeah.

Here you go.

That is a Let me let me do that.

Again.

I'll do.

I'll do the second voice with him.

Well, maybe.

Or maybe him.

You could take him to a place.

Maybe you could take him to a place like Meadow hears a French frog.

Just because I am French.

Do not call me a frog.

That is a derogatory right there.

He looks like he thinks he's better than everybody else.

So you know I'm a frog.

I'm not a toad.

Never referred to me.

Maybe a little bit of James Mason in.

They're gonna realize my monocle.

Where is it?

I Mary put it here somewhere.

There it is.

I need a very large monocled fit over my very large frog eyes.

Wow.

I actually, dude voice a dog with a nose very much like this one on Tak Dog, which was a Nickelodeon cartoon where he was half 1/2 a cat and half a dog.

And I was the dog half.

But this guy looks a little more bored and dyspeptic, like he's kind of rolling his eyes.

Yes, I know I'm shaped like a peanut, but I'm actually a dog.

Okay?

You know, worries.

He's also got the teeth.

So maybe you put a little bit of the teeth in there.

Yeah.

What are you looking at?

You know, sort of like that.

Well, just keep walking, okay?

Nothing to see here.

Just keep walking half lidded.

But now some money.

I mean, this there's that big nose.

So, baby, you put a little bit of that in there like it's always full of flab.

Uh, how do you say, uh, I've I've He's got a cold.

Wow.

This is like something that would be on a Rick and Morty episode.

Let's see, obviously very, very born with life.

He is that the mountains pulled down.

He's just beaten down in board.

I looked like a thumb with a briefcase.

That's all I am a thumb with a briefcase.

When you see a character like this, you know, they don't want anything bright, and I topped out at that.

They're not looking for for energy.

This character obviously exists to be beaten down just to be a beaten down wage slave with a briefcase.

Well, on the bright side, I only have 35 more years till retirement.

It's basically look at the picture.

Think what he might sound like.

Make your best guess.

Roll the dice and cross your fingers.

It's a weird way to live the goal of animation.

Voice acting is the same with our camera acting.

You want to just inhabit the character in do a performance that feels right and makes that character feel like it's alive and really exist.

So that's where the crossover is.

Usually with animation.

It's an auditioning process where the first thing you get is a picture of the character, a drawing of the character and maybe a breakdown of his personality.

With SpongeBob, it was almost instantaneous where Stephen Hillenburg knew what he wanted and knew what he wanted that character to sound like.

He he knew everything about what he wanted his show to be.

He had the show in his head, the way it sounded, the music, the graphics.

It was almost like he was watching a movie in his head, and I could sound like the guy that he was hearing in his head.

So I got the gig pretty instantaneous, which is unusual.

SpongeBob was one of the few characters where I looked at it, and I said, Man, if I don't get to be this guy, it's gonna bug me forever.

I really felt like like I had to be this guy.

You know, this this character and I've never had such an emotional attachment.

So early on to a character.

I just I wanted to voice him.

What would?

Steve broke down SpongeBob for me.

At the first meeting, he said, This guy is half child and half on adult.

He has a foot in either camp.

He goes to school like a kid.

He has his best friend and they hold hands and skip around.

But he also has a job at a you know, a restaurant.

It lives by himself and is self sufficient.

He's kind of a man child.

And then we talked about different man child characters.

You know, Pee Wee Herman, Stan Laurel from Laurel and Hardy, the Three Stooges.

Jerry Lewis, right, who acts like a like a hyperactive, crazy kid and all those old movies.

But it had grown ups.

Body Steve also said maybe a little munchkin from from Wizard of Ice that we Yes.

So we said we just sort of went to that place where it wasn't really like this doesn't sound like any child that you know, but it also doesn't really sound like any adult that you know.

So it's sort of in that sweet spot right in the middle.

And then with the laugh.

Steve just wanted a really characteristic laugh.

And the laugh came from Stephen I, discussing animated characters that had very distinctive laughs.

Where the laugh could only be from that character, Popeye the Sailor Man or Woody Woodpecker, which I can't do.

Uh, so what does this guy's laugh sound like?

He lives in the water like maybe it was kind of a semi dolphin sound like when Flipper would come up above the water, you know?

And he goes, That's great.

It everything was SpongeBob came so easily, and and I attribute that 100% to Steve just having the vision and knowing exactly what he wanted.

Like almost in a J.

R R.

Tolkien way like he knew the world that he wanted to create and every aspect of it.

So it was easy for him to lead you there.

And when he heard what was right to him, you know, that was it.
