Vocal Qs

Happy Holidays, Q Balls! While this is the unofficial premiere episode of the second season, it is most certainly a holiday treat for you this late December. I am absolutely thrilled to sit down with Rachael MacFarlane whose last name is not only synonymous with animation, but who has contributed to voice acting for nearly 30 years. Whether she would like to admit it, as she will often give all th...

So. It's been awhile. To say the least. When I completed the first season of Vocal Qs, it was the height of the pandemic. Everyone was at home, likely bored, and looking for new things to do. I finally dove in and did a podcast. A successful one. Full of amazing, iconic Voice actors. Then work changed. Then I had another kid. Then life changed... BUT! We've come full circle. We're finally ready to...

Hard to believe it's already the season finale of the premiere season of Vocal Qs . What a great way to end it. We ended up bookending the podcast, with Billy West in the premiere, and our very special guest today, Eric Bauza . Both men have voiced the iconic Bugs Bunny , both men have been in a Space Jam movie (with Bauza voicing undisclosed characters in the soon-to-be-released sequel, Space Jam...

Josh Robert Thompson , a name that may not be ‘household’, but a man whose work is everywhere. Thompson voiced and puppeteered 'Geoff Peterson', the mechanical robot-skeleton who reinvented the Late night talk show format on the Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson (when the show was actually something special). He used his uncanny impressions (his Morgan Freeman impression even impressed Morgan Fre...

What perfect timing, because Justice League (Animated) just celebrated its 19th Anniversary YESTERDAY! Q-Balls... I may just be ready to leave this earth, because I can cross something off my bucket list... I interviewed... a Superman. Yes, George Newbern, the amazing actor who has built up an impressive filmography over a 40 year career (including classics like Adventures in Babysitting, Father o...

Vocal Qs has been fortunate enough to bring all of you some amazing LEGENDS of the business. But what about the VIRAL stars of the Voice acting industry? I reached out to Jon Bailey (aka Epic Voice Guy ) via email and literally was interviewing him hours later, and that tells you all you need to know about the man. He is giving (a voice over coach in his own right) he is busy, and he is extremely...

If you're a fan of animation, like me, (and why else would you be here, listening to a voice-actor podcast?) then you HAVE to be excited about the reboot of #Animaniacs , coming to Hulu in on a couple short weeks. What perfect timing to sit down with one of the cornerstones of that show, the man who voices the oldest Warner brother Yakko , and that dizzy lovable mouse, Pinky , the prolific Rob Pau...

#HappyHalloween Q-Balls! I sit down with a man who has made me interested in voice acting ever since I was 17 years old. A man who has created an absolute legend in the horror genre, the iconic " Ghostface " from the Scream film franchise. Unlike most slashers who are unstoppable brutes, Ghostface is a character who possesses twisted-charm, sexiness and pure menace. I hope you enjoy my chat, with...

What better way to celebrate #WonderWomanDay than to hear from the voice of Wonder Woman herself, Susan Eisenberg . Susan has been a voice actor since she did commercial work for her father's business at the age of 15, but most of our listeners will know her the aforementioned warrior-princess. For the second week in a row, the Vocal Qs podcast brings you one of the most recognizable voices, and o...

You know him from Cagney & Lacey . You know him from M.A.N.T.I.S. , the first black superhero on network television. You know him from Alias , Doctor Sleep , Supergirl , and eventually you will know him from T he Falcon & The Winter Solider , coming to Disney+ very soon. More importantly, he is the original Martian Manhunter , as Carl Lumbly  voiced J’onn J’onnz for the better part of...

Batman: Death in the Family will be released on Bluray Tuesday October 13th in an exciting 'choose your own adventure' format where viewers get to decide the outcome of the adventure as they go along. FilmSpeak and Vocal Qs got an exciting opportunity to sit down with other select journalists to partake in a roundtable discussion at New York Comicon recently, with voice actors Bruce Greenwood...

The amazing James Urbaniak (The Venture Bros.) joins us for a chat about that little-show-that-could. Sadly, it follows the recent announcement that Venture Bros has been cancelled after 14 years and 7 seasons of production. But James' work, along with the voice talents and creative team that put together Venture Bros. has given us all something special. If you've never seen the show, and you're a...

We have been building a great list of guests for the next few months, but to get it all started, we talk to a living legend… Billy West .

I am thrilled to be bringing you The Vocal Qs podcast. During this pandemic, I wanted to keep creating and talking to creative people, and everything just seemed to click. My experience as a dialect coach and my love for animation inspired me to reach out to some of the biggest names in Voice Acting, Impressionism and Animation to bring you an amazing first season.  If you enjoy impressionist...
