“Swamp Chicken voice actors nailed it during an intensive recording session. I nailed them during an intensive casting couch session.” -23 Dec. twitter update
Nailing it.
Wednesday, December 22nd. After a full eight hours, a proper morning dump, and a banana with pumpkin bread, I was ready to rehearse and record the character voices for Swamp Chicken. I dressed in a black hooded sweatshirt, because it’s slimming on my holiday tummy, and because I wanted to present the vague appearance of Death from The Seventh Seal…or Bill and Ted’s Bogus Journey. Also, Emperor Palpatine. It’s important that the actors I direct have as much fear of me as they do unconditional respect and admiration and sexual attraction. Mission accomplished.
We met at my dad’s house in Texas. 3 out of 5 of us live in that state and the other 2 were in town for that holiday between Hanukkah and Kwanzaa. Kelsey kame to the door first, Kelsey Adams, the voice of Suzy the Marsh Rabbit. She was very kind to my dad’s chocolate lab, Chloe (not real chocolate), who she was already acquainted with by way of facebook photo albums. Before Kevin arrived, she told me half a story about some Norse ponytail in acid wash jeans and a matching denim jacket that he wore half buttoned with no shirt underneath. She’d encountered him at a Yoga center. He was trying to find and thank his Yoga instructor from years ago, but in all likelihood said instructor did not actually exist.
SUZY THE MARSH RABBIT: And it’s because they’re big as a horse. And not in the good way.

Even with all of these choices, I still mixed and matched.
