For this episode, we’re going to be doing something a little bit different! Back in episode 154 of the podcast, I interviewed my good friend and fellow voice actor, Julie Nathanson. During that interview, she offered to turn the tables and interview me in return someday! So I thought it would be an interesting experiment to ask Julie to take over as the host of this particular segment, and she graciously agreed! So as a special treat for this 200th episode, Julie will be interviewing me on my own podcast! A word of warning though, this interview was very in-depth, so I’m splitting up our incredible 4-hour conversation into 4 separate episodes! To be honest, we probably could’ve spoken for even longer, but we really did our best to restrain ourselves! And so, in an unprecedented first for Voice Acting Mastery, I’m very pleased to hand over my podcast to the very capable Julie Nathanson.
Julie’s Introduction:
Hi, I’m Julie Nathanson. Welcome to the first part of my interview with the Wondrously Multi Dimensional and multi talented Crispin Freeman. You may recognize him from his performances in Naruto, Hellsing, Ghost in the Shell, Young Justice, Steven Universe, Adventure Time, Demon Slayer, the Cowboy Bebop Movie, Howl’s Moving Castle, and recently The Bad Batch. Unsurprisingly, Crispin has also lent his voice to many of your favorite game franchises, from Kingdom Hearts to Call of Duty to Diablo to Final Fantasy, to judgment to Destiny. And of course, he is the incredible voice behind Winston in Overwatch.
Not only is Crispin a prolific and truly talented voice actor, but he is also an expert in mythology. He teaches classes on mythology and meaning where he brilliantly breaks down storytelling patterns in animation, film, and game. And just in case that is an impressive enough, Crispin is also a well respected voice over coach and teacher, whose passion and curiosity led him to create the beloved podcast Voice Acting Mastery, which has not only inspired countless voice acting students the world over but has inspired his many esteemed guests as well, coaxing stories and profundities from the voice acting community who share a common gratitude for the chance to dive deeper into their own processes.
The 1st 199 episodes are treasure troves of information and inspiration, and I am especially honored to speak with Crispin for this his 200th episode of Voice Acting Mastery.
