I’ve been too busy to write about some cool things that I’ve experienced, recently. I’m taking the next few hours to catch up . . .
kyle + rosemary
The kyle + rosemary recording session was as much fun as I thought it would be. Jun cast a brilliant woman to play Rosemary, whose voice combined perfectly with her character model, and made it easy for me to commit to Kyle’s head-over-heels crush on her.
I’ve never been particularly good at doing voices, but with Jun’s help, I found a voice for Kyle that was soft and sweet and a little insecure, that I was really, really happy with.
Jun (director / creator) and Jentle (voice of Rosemary) were great fun to collaborate with, and we had a great time riffing together and discovering some funny stuff that surprised us all. One of my favorite moments was trying to come up with something to replace "severed head," which the S&P folks had decided was forbidden. We tried a few different things, and Jun settled on replacing the severed head with a skull. I suggested we make it a flaming skull, because "everything is funnier when you set it on fire."
I saw Don the Coolest Guard in the World when I went in, but he wasn’t there when I left, so I didn’t get to thank him personally. I heard from a few people at Nickelodeon that someone did show him my blog, though, so he knows. I hope I get to go back to Nickelodeon soon and shake his hand.
kyle + rosemary is not a sold pilot; it’s a short film that will be considered by Nickelodeon for series development early next year. When I have more information about when it’s airing and how you can watch it, I’ll let you know.
Legion of Super Heroes
I’ve done two episodes of Legion so far, and I go back for another one tomorrow. I really can’t say anything about it, because the Warner Animation Goonsquad will totally come after me and take away my super powers . . . but it’s just amazing, and I think people are really, really going to like it.
More later . . .

Do you have anything resembling airdates for the firsts of these projects?
Want to know what is really funny? If you follow the ‘recording session’ link above, then click ‘The Geeky Wil Wheaton’, it takes one to the website of Will Wheaton the musician. That might be a one of the funnier nerd jokes published on the Net.
Jentle has the most hideous and irritating MySpace page, it’s like Geocities 1998 threw up 2006 all over it. Java script, tiled background, huge pictures which aren’t thumb nailed. The world so loves scrolling to the right to see everything! More than one embedded video is equal to embedded midi’s of the era; with no control to prevent loading, unless you have Firefox. MySpace is like a plague of AOL kiddie that there is no cure for.
If she’s looking for more work, I would suggest finding someone that knows how to make her a real web page that doesn’t make people want to gouge their eyes out or hit the back button because of the long load time.
I think I might be embarrassed if Don the coolest guard had read what I wrote if I wrote like you wrote it. Did that come out right? I think, though, that it was a wonderful thing to say.
I agree with tombrey. When I fist found the link pointing to Will Wheaton’s sight. I thoroughly fell for it. I was considering letting jun know of the miss link. Then It hit me then slight giggle over the miss link, turned into a roaring laugh. I had completely fell for it and was laughing with Jun and at myself at the same time.
You definitely have a good gig working with Jun!
Love the posts that talk about your voice work! 😀 Keep them comin’.

I love the smell of a Neumann in the morning. I wonder why you got the shotgun mic? Does your stomach growl too much?
And yes, as a matter of fact I would love it if you can get me a job there: JLDC
