What a great, in-depth interview! I also thought the advice for aspiring voice actors was practical — and kindly delivered. (Considering that can often be a groaner when asked at conventions, especially when the question is delivered in a Waspinator voice.)

Very interesting stories and behind-the-scenes. Bravo to Jon3.0... and many thanks to Mr. Chalk for taking the time!

Thanks! Because I have just as many aspiring voice actors watching Microphone Mondays, I try to balance the interviews well between fan questions and questions about the VO industry.
