0:55

0:58

you can't just go around having fun

1:00

while the Ravens are kidnapped and the

1:02

trigons are on the loose with the

1:03

warlagog I started voice acting about 10

1:06

years into my career I did a lot of

1:07

theater a lot of Shakespeare commercials

1:10

and little movies Teen Titans was

1:13

actually my first voiceover audition the

1:15

funny thing about auditioning for cyborg

1:17

the first time is that it was literally

1:19

me just excited to have an audition that

1:22

is the whole Mo behind my voice it's

1:25

like really you gonna let me do this

1:27

this is crazy what are you guys doing

1:29

what are you guys doing

1:35

I was exuberant and I'm loud and they

1:38

wanted a nice loud dude who could stay

1:41

loud for four hours at a clip

1:45

cyborg is near and dear to my heart

1:47

because he's closest to me I wasn't

1:49

trying to change my voice I was just

1:51

excited booyah

1:53

I never in my wildest dreams thought

1:55

somebody would let me play with Rafiki

1:56

they do not stop talking it's the one

1:59

time I called my mom to tell her I got a

2:01

job I was like Mom you're not gonna

2:03

believe this and I can only do it for

2:05

about 15 minutes because it's tiring to

2:07

play here I figured

2:10

he's so all over the place that by the

2:13

time I finish I am exhausted I just

2:15

found it kind of like a dance and you

2:18

feel the waves of him moving up and down

2:20

and the dynamism of his voice

2:23

it is easy after it is hard outside of

2:27

my voice over work I also play King

2:29

Ezekiel on The Walking Dead I am King

2:32

Ezekiel I don't think I would have been

2:34

cast if it wasn't for all of the

2:36

Shakespeare and experimental black box

2:38

theater that I did in my 20s I was just

2:41

kind of uniquely qualified to do that

2:43

job because he has kind of a

2:45

Shakespearean vocal quality I provided a

2:48

light to lead my people forward through

2:50

the darkness and they have made my

2:52

fictions realities and that wasn't a

2:54

part of the audition when they asked me

2:57

to do it I read it and I was like no

2:59

this guy talks a certain way and then he

3:01

changes the way that he speaks depending

3:02

on the circumstance and so because I had

3:05

played with my voice for so long it was

3:06

natural to me welcome

3:08

to the kingdom one of the coolest things

3:11

that ever happened to me being cyborg is

3:13

that I was at a convention once in this

3:15

big dude this big Burly dude he was like

3:18

six four and he slides over this picture

3:20

of Cyborg and he was like I gotta tell

3:23

you this show got me through a lot of

3:25

rough times in my life I just picked my

3:28

arms out I was like man come here and

3:30

this big old dude just gave me this big

3:31

old bear hug and over the last couple of

3:33

years I have met so many people that the

3:36

stories that I've helped to tell have

3:38

been integral in their life just keeping

3:41

them going keeping them moving in the

3:43

right direction that's all I've ever

3:45

really wanted I'm living the dream I

3:48

guess

3:49

he can't shoot a rocket from his shoe

3:53
