CascadiaCon Day 1
Whooo, what a day! :) First day of Cascadia Con and I was on my own. Lots of good pannels, not too many crowds. Saw Cheyenne, Savannah, and the Foglios, that's always a hoot.
The evening, though was the best part. The last pannel I had on the plan was a Voice Over Action Workshop. It was run by the people putting together Robotech again. The cast includes the original voice of Roy Fokker, Dan Woren, and Chase Masterson, who's best known as Leeta the Dabo girl from DS9. (HAWT!) One of the Production Assistants and the Creative Director was also there. All very nice people and really excited.
They wanted to put together a realistic "audition" and show what it's like to work as a voice actor. The plan was simple, give anyone who wanted a chance to read Rick Hunter's lines from the original script for the first episode of the 1985 series. Kevin the PA read Roy's part. Then Dan and Chase gave some feedback and direction and the person did it again. The person then gets to do it all over again and see if they improve. Great in theory but with the people there it took nearly three hours. :p
The "winner" of the audition got to read the scene again with Dan and get it videotaped to be put on their site, www.robotech.com. The person that won? A cute 9-year old girl with some pretty amazing natural talent. She read better than most of the adults. :p Pretty awesome night.
Now I'm working on an Othar Trygvassen costume (I just misspelled that but I don't care). I mean, I was talking about costumes with the Foglios and mentioned I'm going to do Oggie for Dreamcon and Phil Foglio himself said "You would make a GREAT Othar!" Which caused the rest of us to laugh because I'd talked about it with them before and Kaja admitted she always laughs when I approach their dealer room table because since we talked about it, all she can think is "Oh here comes Othar!"
:D
