Welcome to the second part of my interview with the amazing Fred Tatasciore! Fred is probably most famous for voice the character of the Incredible Hulk in numerous animated incarnations. Some of Fred’s other familiar characters include Zeratul in the StarCraft Franchise, Master Shifu in the animated TV series, Kung-Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness, and one of my personal favorites: Soldier 76 in the game Overwatch.

In the previous episode, Fred and I talked about how he broke into voice acting. I was blown away by both the breadth and depth of his knowledge and expertise! Not only was he developing and refining his performance skills from an early age, but he was also expanding his graphic design abilities and his understanding of animation. Fred has an incredibly well rounded educational background which been invaluable to him as both a voice actor and as a comedian!

In this episode, we discuss how Fred is able to play so many different types of characters. A hint: it has far more to do with understanding the psychological center of a character than it does with producing crazy vocal sounds! Fred and I also talk about what inspired him to become a performer in the first place. I always think it’s useful to explore not only how a successful voice actor applies their craft, but also why they were motivated to pursue acting as a career. When you discover what muse guides a performer you admire, it can help you find your own inspiration as well! So without further ado, here’s Fred!

Greetings everyone! This is Crispin Freeman, voice actor and host of the Voice Acting Mastery Podcast. As you may know, we started this sister podcast, the Voice Acting Mastery Field Report, back in October of 2015. Since then, our Field Report correspondents have produced some amazing episodes including in-depth interviews and detailed special reports on a number of important topics! It has been so great to learn along with them as they’ve explored many relevant and helpful subjects that continue to be of value to our listeners.

However, all good things must eventually come to an end. As we announced this week on the Voice Acting Mastery blog, this will in fact be the final episode of the Voice Acting Mastery Field Report.

I’m very grateful to all of our correspondents who have contributed such great content, and I’m very proud of the work they put into their episodes. Each correspondent has shared their unique insights into the world of voice over as they’ve pursued their own voice acting careers. In fact, these careers and other aspects of their lives have gained so much momentum that our intrepid correspondents inform me that they have less and less time to commit to the Field Report! So even though it’s bittersweet to say goodbye, I’m so happy for their success and wish them much more in the future!

For our final Field Report episode, I’ll be doing one last round table interview with our current correspondents, Tom Bauer, DanWill McCann, and Maureen Price. They’ll be sharing with us how their careers have grown over the past couple of years, what lessons they’ve learned from working on the Field Report, and what they’re all looking forward to in the future!

I hope you’ll all join me in giving a heartfelt thank you and farewell to each of our correspondents!

Thanks again for listening and for joining us for the Field Report. We truly appreciate it.

(P.S. – For those of you who are about to ask: Yes, I’m still releasing monthly episodes of the main VAM podcast on the 3rd Wednesday of each month, so please continue to tune in for those. Thanks!)

However, all good things must eventually come to an end, and it’s time for me to announce that the next episode of the Field Report, episode 36, will be our last.

I’m grateful to all of our correspondents who have contributed to the Field Report, and I’m very proud of the work they put into their episodes. Each correspondent has shared their unique insights into the world of voice over as they’ve pursued their own voice acting careers.

For our last Field Report episode, I’ll be doing a final round table interview with our current correspondents, DanWill McCann, Tom Bauer, and Maureen Price. They’ll be sharing with us how their careers have grown over the past couple of years, what lessons they’ve learned from working on the Field Report, and what they’re all looking forward to in the future!

I hope you’ll enjoy our farewell episode and that you’ll continue to gain insight and guidance from all our existing Field Report episodes, which will remain accessible here at VoiceActingMastery.com and on iTunes. I also encourage you to follow the achievements of our correspondents as they continue in their careers! I’m sure they’ll all have more information to share via their own social media channels!
