This is one of the greatest performances I have ever seen. Such a talent, a gift to the world.

This guy could replace anyone.

How are there Dislikes on this video!? This guy is unreal!!

Holy crap. He must be exhausted after that. Great work JAT!

One of my favorite actors. Amazing to see him do all that stuff on stage.

This guy singlehandidly built childhoods.

i was there near the front.. was so great, carrie fisher followed.. one of the best nights of my life lol

I can't get rid the image of tidus when hearing his real voice

This video was incredibly inspiring and fun to watch. Nowhere in the video did I feel bored or uninterested. That was one fast hour! Great job James, you are my favorite voice actor ever.

What hit me the most was about minute 54 , the last little bit where he talks about the Black Mold infection. And he is right. You never know what you got till it is gone. So, be thankful & never let go of the dreams. Sometimes it is all you have left.

You made your dreams come true as a child and you did it, the ending was appropriate. My regards, James. GOD BLESS...

Please give a warm welcome to the amazing, kind, wonderfully, shapeshifting, Master Mind...James. Arnold. Taylor!

James, you are beyond inspirational. Thank you for all you do and God bless.

Yet another example of why you are my favourite voice actor and why I want to be a voice actor. I love hearing the different voices you create simply by changing the depth of your voice, the aperture of your vocal chords, increasing the pitch and even just changing the volume of your voice. Voice acting truly is amazing and you're the best example of why it is what I want to do. Thank you for uploading this video and thank you for simply being you.

An Impressionist, with many impression voices at a Impressionism show! Impressionception! XD

I gotta be honest: watching this show was kinda like listening to James's demo reel. Entertaining, but doesn't seem to have much point to it, besides to impress, you know, that James Arnold Taylor is one of the best voice actors alive. Which he is. Then you get to the part about the Black Mold, and after all of that build up, all of those zippy impression and anecdotes... we realize how much James really had to lose. I mean, Black Mold is dangerous! It can do irreparable damage to your lungs, skin, even your immune system. There's no antidote either: all you can really do is remove yourself from where the mold is and wait for your body to heal.... if it is going to. I'd love to hear in more detail how James fought to get his voice back after that: he mentions diet, water, everything had to change.... But more then that, how he dealt with it emotionally. There had to be a day when he just felt like this was it. God or someone had smote him good. He had centered his life and his livelihood on one thing, and now it was gone. There were no promises that full recovery was even possible. Maybe it was over, it was time to do something else... but what else can he do? This is what he loves! That he pulled through that and didn't just regain his voice but went on to see his career reach new heights of success... it's such a great story. Good on you, JAT. Keep right on inspiring people.

he is as good as De Bradly Baker, so great, so incredible WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW

How can people not love this guy? 😂

talk about versatile ...WOW. This man definitely deserves jobs and opportunities that comes his way!

You are a f-cking mazing James. I grew up being inspired by Tidus' freespirited-ness. His ability to just DO things and be happy go lucky even when all the pain he carried from Jecht and Zanarkand. Then I get the black mold part in the video AND YOU INSPIRE ME AGAIN! 15 When I played FFX and now 26 when i watch this AND YOU STILL INSPIRE ME. I just wanna say thank you James I truly appreciate everything.

If Steven Spielberg decides to bring back his hit 90's Warner Bros. cartoons, I really hope James Arnold Taylor gets a big part. My favorite voice actor in my favorite shows. It would be a dream come true.

I worked with your brother! One of the coolest guys ever! He told me about you, you are amazing, hilarious, and a true showman!

This is my inspiration.

Holy Crap, I now have a new role model :D

James you are a an amazing voice actor and a ture hero to us all out there with dreams. I wish you the best and thank you for shareing this video with us hear on youtube.

I saw a sign language interpreter on the side of the stage at the end If your deaf don't go to a show about people talking to themselves

4:00 The Tidus and Yuna laughing scene... IN HELL >:D

Your Marvin the Martian was SPOT ON! And I still love your Michael J. Fox (though I've never seen the Back to the Future films). Thank you for posting this!

This guy is amazing.

have watched this 1 man show about 15 times and it never ceases to amaze me. I wish you coached brother. I will just keep watching... thank you!

This was a great show and I really appreciate James letting us see a more personal side of him at the end!! Thank you James!

This is a great summary of why you are one of my favorite voice actors, James!

THIS IS SO FREAKING FUNNY! You're awesome James.

Awesome voice actor and very inspiring.

James, you are amazing. Never stop being you.

Just recently came across your youtube channel thanks to the wonderful FFX laugh track song you did. So while I'm very familiar and a fan of your work across the board, I never saw this performance. Not only that but your story about how your health was affected and yet you still never let your dream get away from you. It's inspiring and uplifting and thank you for those words, your hard work, and dedication to your craft.

You're so freaking talented James! Wow!

Man, I've always wanted to be a voice actor, and with this it really helps to know what to do on how to be a voice actor and some helpful tips. Thanks James, you're a great help, and a massive inspiration to me and many other people.

Thank you so much! I really really really wanted to see this tour, so I'm glad you put this up.

Thank you for uploading this, James! :D

Terrific. Terrific talent, Terrific show. Great final message.

Wow throughout this presentation u never get bored at all. Very great trait to have.

he once came to my school .

Fantastic as always.

One of the best performances ever. Wow. I'm blown

the most enjoyable one hour in my boring life ... love this guy!

THE NOUN. OF. NOUNS.

James you are my Idol.if I could make a wish, I would wish to spend a single hour with you,or a day just hanging out and talking.I tend to be awkward sometimes but for me...everything would be worth realizing this wish of mine.Please...never quit and keep going,stay strong. Sincerely a HUGE fan

Amazing!

Nice outro and you're right... hope to see you on SW Celebration 2016 tbh!

"Talking to Myself" When I heard it. I heard in my mind, "Talking to Everthing"

About time!

I just noticed I made a spelling mistake so I will re-write this again... You are the best voice actor in the world and will forever be.

Both Taylor and Meskimen are hands-down the finest Jimpressionists

You are the best voice in the world and will forever be.

as an aspiring voice actor this helps me

youre an awesome guy

I'm playing ffx right now and keep hearing Fred Savage from wonder years every time it goes into voice over. Lol

This is phenomenal..!! James you really do shine a lot of light on where I could start as a voice actor. You and me I feel have very similar voices and I use to think my voice wasn't deep enough to be a voice actor and now I realize that is not the case. Thanks for uploading. I admire your work in video games.

I WAS THERE!!!!! :)

This is why i want to persue voice acting

VOICE ALL THE CROSSOVERS!

its an awesome but it is it so similar to the other one but hey awesome talent!

WOW

i love u man

Some are spot on, others.....

James Arnold Taylor is talking to myself with everyone

this is your story james

Hilarious yet educational

Obi wan kenobody

Obi-wan I really want to see you!

"I have been every voice you've ever heard inside your head"- The Emperor Or was it?

JAT is so awesome.

*_Butter_*

47:55 For your David Spade's voice, maybe you will be the next Emperor Kuzco from Disney's The Emperor's New Groove.

Just heard you on RFR this week and was floored. That was one of my favorite podcasts that I've heard from them. How can we get tickets to your stage show? Thanks!

I wonder how much Ratchet pops up in your mind since he's a pretty big character you voice too Mr. Taylor.

My Favorite voice actor does sum great voices ever like Obi Wan Kenbio, Captain Jack Sparrow and Spiderman

Not bad about 12 realy good ones and rest are ok

Y'know, sometimes I kinda roll my eyes at a couple of the more popular voice actors getting seemingly every role imaginable and not really having to change anything about their voice for a good majority of them. I won't name names just to keep that can of worms closed, but JAT is one hell of an opposite to that mentality for me. And it's not to doubt what they have to go through on the daily with commute and line reads, it's just what we get as a product on a consumer level. He does so much in so many ways, it's easy for me to forget he does more than Tidus, Ratchet and Obi-Wan. Even with Obi-Wan, I legitimately thought it was just Ewan at first! Heck, I didn't even realize he went as far back as the Clone Wars microseries. Still curious what he'd think if someone ever brought up that Super Famicom game he did called EMIT. ...And yes, I said a *Super Famicom* game that had full English voice acting in pretty good quality in *1994.* You can pick your jaw up off the floor from that. Man, that alone put most of Capcom's PS1 efforts to shame.

I heard a version of that music James does in the 1993 Animaniacs:Toyshop of terror. S1.

@James Arnold Taylor That last act must be super hard on your voice.

20:45

JAT seems like he'd make a great Steve from Blue's Clues, to be honest lol. His appearance ands normal voice strike me as such.

HI James! I recorded part of your "Talking To Myself" show at the Salt Lake City Comic Con this year (2016.) Do you mind if I link your video to some of the footage I took for my vlog?

36:09

Video not available?? Why!!

Is it just me or is the part when he reads as Ian McKellen/Gandalf a clip from one of his previous shows? This video is still great but I was just wondering if I noticed that correctly.

anybody else notice that when he said Gandalf when he was talking about plo koon a picture of sarumon showed up on screen?

I hope Disney treats their freelance voice artists better than their freelance cartoonists lets say the last one isn't the happy disney experience!

Can someone please tell me who the voice is at 52:33? I'm drawing a blank.

I want him to attempt Don Lafontain.

Is there a separate video for 16:30

AI is scared of JAT 😂 amazing talent

This guy is Richie fucking Tozier.

his nickname should be the chameleon

16:40 what is this song? I know it's from Looney Tunes, but I cannot find it.

I disagree, I think it works perfectly. You are first introduced to his body of work, establishing who he is and what his credentials are. Then he starts off with a standard announcery introduction that quickly goes into the ridiculous, setting the tone for the rest of the show. As for establishing rapport, what should he do, walk out into the audience and introduce himself personally? Everyone there either has an interest in voice acting, or is a fan of his, so the rapport is already there.

7:26 Clone Wars Narrator!

When you realize that the outro song is Christian, just without the words...
