This Saturday…

Okay, here's one of the first things I'm going to do with my new playground, though there may be one or two other things before then.

Every year at WonderCon and Comic-Con International, I host one or more panels of top cartoon voice actors, discussing and demonstrating their craft. Since neither con is happening this year, we're going to try moving it online so you can watch them do what they do in real time.

Appearing live from their own home recording studios will be Bob Bergen (the voice of Porky Pig and many other classic characters and heard on Curious George and the Star Wars cartoons and more), Julie Nathanson (from Suicide Squad: Hell to Pay and Ubisoft's Far Cry 5, among other credits), Phil LaMarr (from Justice League Unlimited, Samurai Jack, Static Shock and many more), Secunda Wood (heard on Boss Baby, Fast & Furious Spy Racers and dozens of videogames) and Fred Tatasciore (The Hulk, Family Guy, American Dad, et al).

I'm frontloading this one with five of the best voice performers I know, which is not to say there aren't plenty of others if we do more of these. If you'd like to help there be more, spread the word. Repost the ad above wherever you can repost it and blanket your social media. And, of course, be there for it live this Saturday afternoon.

It will probably be online to watch later but it'll be more fun live, plus we'll be fielding your comments and questions. And if nothing else, you can watch me screw up the tech end of this and that will be highly amusing…for you, not me. Oh — and subscribe to newsfromme.tv and set a reminder for this webcast!
