104 – The Big Renaissance [86:54m]: Hide Player | Play in Popup | Download

Posted By Jerzy on August 25, 2009

We’re celebrating our two-year anniversary with an interview with two excellent examples of the kinds of renaissance creators we independent cartoonists should be!

Tara Platt and Yuri Lowenthal are actors, writers, producers, and voice actors who never stop working.

In addition to recently completing pre-production work on an independent film, they’ve also just finished work on a book about voice acting called Voice-Over Voice Actor, What it’s Like Behind the Mic (featuring comic strips and illustrations by me!).

Tara and Yuri spend some time with us to discuss the challenges of managing a collaborative project, why it’s important to always be working on something, their process of writing, and how they find and develop characters with their voices. Tons of great food for thought for any independent creator out there.

If you enjoyed listening to the discussion this week, be sure to check out their book!
