The key to understanding how Taliesin is Percy is to know that Taliesin is an old-school goth. If anyone was gonna rock up to a D&D game with a gothic horror backstory and potential demonic possession, it was gonna be him. Or Liam (Vax'ildan's player). But that's because Liam thrives on Character Drama.

The liveshows are crazy. The fact that no one knows what is going to happen adds this really great tension. And the audience tends to get involved in different ways. The one I went to a few years back, Matt at one point mentioned that there were wolves, and... without any pre- planning... about half the audience just decided they would howl to help simulate the wolves. Not enough to be disruptive, it was just fun. We also all sang along with the theme song.

Here are a couple of fun facts for you two about the cast 1. David Tennant is most commonly known as the tenth iteration of The Doctor on Doctor Who. But many cartoon fans may also remember him as the new voice of Scrooge McDuck from the Ducktales reboot 2. Mason Alexander Park is a non-binary performer on the cast whose done mostly stage shows. One of their most famous roles was that of Dr. Frank N Ferter on a production of Rocky Horror 3. Many cartoon fans may also recognize Khary for his animated portrayals of the Titan, Cyborg. 4. As you guessed, Dominic WAS one of the hobbits from Lord of the Rings; specifically, Meriadoc Brandybuck (Merry.) As for his voice, that's how he actually sounds like nowadays; due to it suddenly growing deeper over the years. 5. Indira played the wife of Oberyn Martell, Ellaria Sand 6. Many fans recognize Beatriz as the woman behind Mirabelle Madrigal from Encanto 7. Grey Delisle-Griffin has a whole list of different roles she's played, both heroes AND villains. Her most famous ones include Azula, Mandy, Frankie Foster and even Catwoman

There were definite hopes for Mercer to do Gilmore as he was a fan favourite but I think (and many critters seem to agree) that they chose an appropriate cast member for the role and he captured the essence of Gilmore just perfectly. I think the only other one people had expectations for was the voice of sun-tree, but they discussed in the watch party content that a chillaxed tree might not have worked for the mood of the current atmosphere of Whitestone. They might have a cameo sun-tree talking moment as a joke when people think Keyleth just randomly "talks" to trees, when she actually talks to them.

Hey guys, if you just want to watch one chill episode, I fully recommend watching "Winter's Crest in Whitestone | Critical Role: VOX MACHINA | Episode 36 " because they skipped 1 full episode of chill downtime in Whitestone before returning to Emon. Very wholesome and very entertaining. The only significant change in canon is that Vedmeyer was imprisoned rather than executed and Archibald is alive. It includes Trinket entering a pie eating contest, Grog arm-wrestling, and some good Vax-Vex convos.

Fully agree. If they wanted other npcs (since Mikal-Claire said she wanted to hear Matt do the voices to compare) I also recommend Shopping and Shipping | Vox Machina Episode 14. While the sound quality is poorer, it does have Matt voicing Gilmore, Uriel, Kima, Allura, and Asum. Bonus name dropping of the Briarwoods and Percy's subsequent silent freakout.

Late 90's - Recess(animated tv series) - she played Gretchen Grundler Late 90's/Early 2000's - Ben 10(animated tv series) - Gwen Tennyson 2010's - The Last of Us(video game series) - she's Elle, one of the protagonist characters plus many, many others She's got about 150 credits overall, from 1990 to today.

I’ve seen Critical Role perform live three times. They only did the shows rarely - usually a couple times a year, all pre-Covid. It always was an EVENT. It always was SPECIAL. Every show was bigger than the last one. The last show I attended live was the “Darrington Brigade” one-shot story they performed in Austin TX at the Bass Concert Hall/Texas Performing Arts Center, which usually hosts symphony events, broadway stage plays, and ballet. They sold out the 2,900-seat venue in minutes. Live shows are always wild. The crowds are amazing - “Hey all this people are Critters! They like this weird thing I like!” With everybody just so happy to be in a huge space with thousands of other people that UNDERSTAND why we love the cast and characters so much. LOTS of cosplay too. (There are videos of the crowd in Austin singing along to the “Your Turn to Roll” theme song before the screen that captures the energy of the live crowd.) A whole lot of fun, and the cast always delivers on the antics and the stories. I hope then now Covid restrictions are dying down, more Critters will get a chance to participate in a live show. Especially our UK/EU friends who never got the chance to see them. I hope the cast can find time with all the crazy deadlines of doing the animated show to make it happen.

CONSEQUENCES AND COWS immediately after feast of realms one of the funniest GUNPOWDER PLOT pt 1 original Scanbo WINTERS CREST IN WHITESTONE epilogue to Briarwood arc All of these are fairly early in Campaign 1 so some issues audio quality and a disruptive player No worry about being lost Matt always recaps at the beginning. Sometimes timestamps can be found in the comments in the Geek & Sundry hosted episodes.

I'm very happy your reacted to this video! I hope you check out to the rest of "The Legend of the X of TLOVM" because it's a really cool behind-the-scenes series; for ex. in the music episode you get to see the process of Sam Riegel (Scanlan's va and creator) creating Scanlan's songs! A lot of people expected Matt to play Gilmore (probably the most beloved npc in campaign 1), however Matt wanted to give that role to an actual person of colour. Sunil Malhotra really did a fantastic job, I think! If you ever wanted to watch actual Critical Role episodes - campaign 2 is a very cool place to start! It's already finished and it's amazing :) (Campaign 3 just started but contains some Vox Machina spoilers.)

Depending on where you're thinking about starting to watch CR, I'll say that if you're starting at the beginning, maybe skip these for now, but there are some pretty awesome videos on KZfaq where a particular critter has edited the live actual play of important scenes next to the animated version, which are universally great adaptations, but have some cool and well-thought-out differences. Highly recommended. And heads up that the production value gets better as the actual play show gets more experience, so don't let any early audio or production issues stop you from watching. Welcome to the critter fam!

5:18 - If you're wondering why they're filming Sunil standing in a full closet, with headphones on: That's where he recorded his lines. Due to the pandemic shutdown, the voice actors could no longer come into the studio to record, and they had to do it at home. Now, most professional VAs have the required microphones and recording equipment to do that - but very few have the required time, money, and _space_ in their homes to have an entire room fitted with sound-baffling foam panels for a professional-grade recording environment. But there is a trick, known to hobbyists and professionals alike: a fully stocked closet, with all the cloth hanging and stacked on shelves, does a great job of absorbing soundwaves and thus minimising the reverb and echo you would normally get in such a small, enclosed space. Thus, when the pandemic hit, all the actors had to record their lines at home, mostly in closets just like this one, with the voice director listening in and directing via a zoom call. 🌈🌟 The more you know…

As an old school critter I don't know that it was a concern so much because I fully trust whatever the critical role team puts together will be amazing. But I was incredibly curious about who they would choose to voice these characters as we had only seen them via the theater of the mind through the acting and voice of Matt.

I don't know what the process for this is in TLoVM, but I do know that animators and artists for animated shows in general like to lean towards having a face that is similar in shape to the voice actor if possible. Obviously it's not always possible, but I think it helps visualize what that character might look like when they do/say things considering that many (if not all) VAs tend to use their bodies and faces to 'act' during their recording sessions to help reach for the characters they are portraying. It might not necessarily be the case here, but it's what I've seen in the 'behind the scenes' stuff I've watched for some other shows.

If you want a little more insight into the voice acting from the main crew in the animation, theres another behind the scenes video in this series titled "The Legend of the *Voices* of the Legend of Vox Machina". Also I would second the suggestions that episode 36 "Winters Crest In Whitestone" is a good single episode to try out.

@Scarpza 2 жыл бұрын

If you decide to watch some Critical Role I suggest checking out Campaign 2 or the more recent (still in progress) Campaign 3. Campaign 1 (the campaign in which Vox Machina season 1 and the announced season 2 will be set within) is good but has a rough start. Campaign 1 started being recorded mid-campaign and the early episodes have some audio issues. Campaign 2 and 3 were recorded from the start and have better production value.

If you guys are still feeling the critter hype, the channels Arsequeef and JudgmentFish have uploaded a lot of scene comparisons between the original streams and the animated show.

I have loved your journey into curious to fans of the show. Hopefully, you keep up with the content or updates about your reaction to various CR things. They have a literal plethora of content. If you want to see more of Khary on CR, I cannot recommended Undeadwood enough. It is a more narrative and RP focused tabletop western with, then CR community host, Bryan W Foster as the GM (Game Master). The cast and the RP is so engaging and they really pull you in. Can't wait to continue to see what you two do.

Right, we knew he wouldn’t do everyone. There were some that we were curious about. Like Gilmore is a POC so it wouldn’t be good to have a white man voice him, even if Gilmore is Matt’s favorite character who he’d most like to be he knows casting white actors to voice POC characters is a huge problem and wouldn’t want to contribute to that. So who would do this character was a big question. It’s fun to see how people sound by Matt versus by the actors.

If you guys decide to put up the work to see a couple of EP a week, I would recommend start with campaign 2. New characters, new story, new countries to explore; same Players/Voice actors. First campaign has a lower production value and is "harder to get attach to" IMHO. But if you are just adamant in continue to follow the adventures of the characters from the cartoon I would recommend start either at the beginning of the briarwood arc (to see were the cartoon came from) or right after has they start the next chapter. Just take it in that a 20m episode in game take is probably around 4 game sessions of 3 to 4 hours each. Not the same rhythm, but a lot more detailed.
