If I dont get enough sleep, my brain gets fatigued, and the voice suffers. If Im doing some retail work and trying to read and record legal copy, I start sounding like I had a few too many the night before.

The Internet is a bastion of negativity, and we get to sit there and voice our cute, little, important opinions.

The only way to describe my involvement in Planes is that its an absolute dream come true for me. Getting to be a bad guy in any project is fun, let alone being a Disney villain. I cant imagine anything getting better than that!

It's an absolute blast to be a voice actor, but also kinda scary that the vocal baby you just birthed out at a mic is then taken by other folks and becomes something else.

I started doing standup when I was in college, and I would incorporate a lot of characters into my act.

All those "getting hit/losing rings" sounds tend to be recorded toward the end of a recording session. Depending on the type of game, those efforts and screams can be pretty rough on the voice, so they usually like to record them at the end. You might do hundreds of versions of vocal sounds for a game and you can come out a little hoarse afterward.

I grew up playing games, and I remember Christmas 1981 when my dad got us an Intellivision, and we all sat around and played 'Astrosmash' for hours on end. It was a big part of my youth.
