Matt Books recording session

Since I don’t have a whole lot to post about right now, I thought I’d share with you all a few audio clips from the Spatula Madness dialogue recording sessions we did a while back. This is from the session with my friend Matt Books, who voices a couple characters in the movie. He has an awesome and varied voice.

This is mostly out-take stuff that isn’t actually used in the movie:

  4. dfera331 Says:

    who does the voice of edward?

  5. jason Says:

    dfera331 - I do most the voices in the movie, including Edward, Max, Tom, etc.

  6. Some Guy Says:

    Ha ha ha… This is just bizarre.

  7. brownie Says:

    Hmm, I’ll have to listen to it later, I think I’ve exceeded the download limit for this month…. Who’s this Matt Books character?

  8. Pierre Says:

    I didn’t think the lost Episode 11 was as bad as you said. Then again, I’ll probably never listen to it again, but that’s not the point!

  9. DrGie Says:

    this movie will definitly be awesome. I want to here some of yours and Robert’s voices

  10. himmanguydudeperson Says:

  11. Kek sphere Says:

    who’s the guy in the background talking to books? (saying what he should do)

  12. jason Says:

    Kek sphere - that’s me.

  13. Jeremy Says:

    He does a pretty good Mr. Mackey voice.

    Also…

    “LOUDER! LOUDER!!”

  14. RM Says:

    WOWZERS! Do you put the voices in before the animating? Does it matter?

  15. jason Says:

    I record the voices first, then lay them out as a “radio play” kind of thing, where it’s basically the whole scene in audio format. Then I animate to the audio.

  16. dfera331 Says:

    whoa, I didnt realize your voice was capable of doing edward. haha that’s why I asked. It doesnt really sound like you…but I guess that’s a good thing!

  17. LoonieBin Says:

    Who did Matt do in the original short?

  18. jason Says:

    LoonieBin - no one, I did every voice in the original.

  19. Jared Says:

    This is very exciting for the release of the movie… if only there was an expected release date. The last expected date was like 8 months ago, so it’s hard to know how close this project is.

  20. Maggie Says:

    Wow, Matt is a pretty good voice actor.

    I like the mad Scottish Man Voice

  21. Anonymous Says:

    LOL!!! That was hilarious!! I was laughing so hard, I don’t know if I’ll be able to survive through the whole movie! XD
    I had no idea Matt could do all those voices!

  22. Toonsvi Says:

    what mike do you use?

  23. jason Says:

    Toonsvi - I use a Shure SM7b.

  24. Henri Says:

    Ha, those are funny. I just can’t wait till the movie comes out! Then, I think that applies to everyone here. Don’t stop the funny Jason! Don’t stop the funny.

  25. Chrispy Says:

    Hardy har, funny styff :)

  26. brownie Says:

    Don’t stop the funny, Jason. That would be cruel. Matt Books wil forever be in my heart.

    Because I’m going to get surgery to convert my heart into a second stomache, eat him, and put it on the mantle.

  27. friedbread Says:

    Oops, the anonymous comment was me. Sorry about that.

  28. brownie Says:

    Wait, this was at your house, right Jason? You should purposely empty your fridge of everthing except whole milk and cheese next time he’s there.

  29. jC Says:

    Gorillas.

  30. Frostbite Studios Says:

    This is hilarious! I was literally in tears laughing! “I’ve been drinking a little bit.”

    Oh, and great idea, Brownie!

  31. brownie Says:

    JC-I agree. And that rhymed. Lack tose intolerance=hilarity.

  32. Butler Says:

    Wow, your mic recording quality is brilliant.
    Whenever i record anything all i can hear is pure static in the background.

  33. Funky Dragon Says:

    Snazzy!

  34. toxic pickle Says:

    ha ha haaaaaa. thats funny.

    -bbq?

  35. DrGie Says:

    yeah I have a question who did the voice of the the random girl in edward’s house in the original?

  36. toodle Says:

    Is there a mic i can buy that is alot cheaper than the “Shure SM7B,” but still has good quality for an animation?

  37. Pierre Says:

    It’s my birthday YAY!

  38. Chaos Clown Says:

    Funniest audio clip I have ever listened to, bar none.

  39. jason Says:

    DrGie - I did that voice as well.

    toodle - The Shure Beta 58A and Shure SM58 are both good, but keep in mind for all good mics you’ll also need an audio box to connect the mic to your computer, which is going to be another hundred bucks at least.

  40. Henri Says:

    toodle - I use the MXL USB .006 microphone and it’s pretty good. It costs $125 on amazon.com

    It still costs a lot, but not as much as Jason’s Shure mic.

  41. DrGie Says:

    hmmm… thats interesting jason.

  42. DrGie Says:

    so jason havew you seen transformers yet?

  43. smartoonkid Says:

    Hey, Jason, How did you make “Hangin’s out at the grill”?

  44. Jack Says:

    Yeh, Jase, how did you put the mouths on for Hangin Out at the Grill

  45. toodle Says:

    jason- The Shure Beta 58A and Shure SM58 are both good, but keep in mind for all good mics you’ll also need an audio box to connect the mic to your computer, which is going to be another hundred bucks at least.

    toodle-The Shure SM58 looks great! but what type of audio box do you recommend for it?

  46. jason Says:

    Toodle - Go to Amazon.com and search for “M-Audio MobilePre.”

    They have it for 120 with free shipping.

  47. TheBigMan Says:

    Jason, What software are you using to animate Spatula Madness. Can’t wait for it to come out.

  48. toodle Says:

    thanks. i think that combo (shure sm58; M-Audio Mobile Pre USB Mobile Preamp and Audio Interface) for $220 is better than your mic for $350.

    Would this be enough (for vocals) when making an animation on a iMac?
