So, in a lot of ways it's not as satisfying as actually getting to act more, which I do in Naruto and cartoons and animation in general.
They're just long, long days and often quite boring when you're not a lead in the movie or television show. I will say that doing television and film, I've done a bunch of films too, I just did a Jim Carrey movie called Yes Man that will be out next year.
They're sort of using the creative part of you but they're totally different. They're so different but, I guess artistically it's like sculpting and painting. But, other than that, how do the two differ? One fully uses your voice and the other involves physical acting. You're known to gamers and anime fans as the voice of Naruto but you have a lot of small parts, like the housewife in Grey's Anatomy. But I'd like to thank everybody that's on the line and yahoo for the issue later this month.Īnnouncer: So we have a quick question for Maile. *laughs* I'd love to do both and play with something like that.Īnnouncer: Brian, if you need to leave we totally understand.īrian: Yeah, I do unfortunately. I would want to do Guy, or Gaara who kicked my butt. Lady Tsunade or something.īrian: Oh nice.
Kate: I'd probably want to try something totally different, like. I'd try Choji.*laughs* He looks like a lot of fun. If you could do a voice for a different character in the video game, which one would you like to try? And, fortunately because the character starts so young they do grow up and you get to grow up a little bit with them.Īnnouncer: And this is for everyone else in the group. Yeah, Rock Lee's been fun and Yuri hit on it a little but one of the nice things about having a huge hit and having an extended episode and now video game arc is that you really get to know the character and you can play with the character. *laughs* You know, as a voice actor again your body is your instrument so there's a general warm-up and prep for everything I do. And voice in general, as I think everyone will attest, you do your own little warm-up every day. That was probably the biggest adjustment I had to make with Rock Lee. But, it was again talking very properly and not shortening anything and no slang - it was all very proper with Rock Lee. I'm not exactly sure if it was specific from the Japanese or not. I'm not quite sure if you answered this earlier or not but someone asked you specifically how you prepared for voicing Rock Lee, if there's anything specific you've done?īrian: Yeah, I guess I did answer it mainly to the extend that there were a few very specific Rock Lee nuances and thing that everybody wanted to hear or was requested. Well, how long do we have you online Brian?īrian: Just a few more minutes I could probably stretch it to five if you need me to hang in there.Īnnouncer: Ok, I have just one specific question. Yuri: Well, thank you for having me in today.Īnnouncer: Thanks so much Yuri, thank you. I want to see your Lion's Barrage!Īnnouncer: I think that's all the questions we have for Yuri. Yuri: So, I'm going to have to go with Rock Lee.īrian: Oh man, dude, I am gonna kiss you hard when I see you!īrian: I'm gonna show you my best softest spine. Yuri: Sasuke, he's got a lot of Jutsu and he's got a lot of magic that he can work but Rock Lee can actually do everything. Well, my answer would of course be "Well, duh, Sasuke!" I mean, Rock Lee's got the real moves.
*laughter* Yuri: I'm not just saying this because he's on the line, but um.
