Title: Trevor Devall's Interview With Matt Hill
Description: The VAs of Paynn and Penn (also Cain :o)


Skylii - July 19, 2008 02:03 AM (GMT)
I have no idea if this has been posted yet since it originally was broadcast back in August 7th, 2007, but Trevor Devall, known as being the voice actor of Moordryd (and Captain Faier) of course, has his own internet podcast show called Voiceprint, where he interviews fellow voice actors such as Samuel Vincent (Vociferous, Dorsull, Aerrow from Storm Hawks), Brian Drummond (Kawake), and of course, Matt "Matty" Hill who voices Finn from Storm Hawks. And of course: Artha Penn.

The original link is here, which is over an hour long, with so much laughing, (in-)jokes, voice impressions, talking at the same time, and just plain off-and-on conversation that makes you feel totally envious/confused/WTF r they on/left out/annoyed as scales, that imagining Artha and Moordryd doing something like this will make your brain explode. I'd say it have a PG-13 rating for some mature talk such as some cursing, situations, and Drunk Trevor Stories. We also learn how badly Trev wants to land himself on Storm Hawks and how much Matty runs and probably would totally try to race and outrun Beau. :P It has been reposted recently by crazypersonlikescake on Youtube in 7 parts:

Part 1
Part 2
Part 3
Part 4
Part 5
Part 6
Part 7

Part 4 is the one that focuses on Dragon Booster, which Trevor and Matty discuss good memories of old days working together. Matt also mentions how he wished that the writers explored more of Moordryd's "daddy issues" (in which Trevor FINALLY makes one (*coughdisappointingcough* :rolleyes: ) Moordryd impression), as well as poking fun at Moordryd's snivelly voice, especially Matt who "busted Trevor's chops" over both of those things. (Matt: *snivelly* "FATHER! Oh, FATHER! Whatever, DAD! *insert more mentions of "FATHER!" in the show* (Paynncest joke in Part 7, 3:17. I swear it is) Apparently Trevor hated Matt "for the first 6 months of Dragon Booster" until he got used to Matt's nutty humor :D ) They also mention Scott McNeil (Cain) and Mark Oliver (Word) also poked fun at him for that, and how Trevor worked with Mark right beside him at times as Mark would recite his lines while giving [dramatic]EVIL EYES[/dramatic] looks to Trevor (as well as Matt and the other DB VA's apparently). Both of them expressed hope in the show coming back, as they both clearly have enjoyed working on the show very much.

It's interesting in general to see a basic outlook on how the life of a VA works. Trevor mentions how he sometimes forgets which characters he voices, and I can understand why, even before he explained it. Plus, these two have so much fun and just laugh so much while doing a bunch of cheesy voices and poking fun at each other, and they seem like really good buddies and it's just kind of "d'awww ^_^" and "u guys r awesome". (Or maybe annoying, depends on your outlook. ^^)

Trevor Devall has also interviewed Scott "Scotty" McNeil (Stork from Storm Hawks, a TON more awesome voices for characters and YAAAY CAIN :cookie: ) on October 25, 2007, which is FAR longer, FAR more (in-)joke filled, WAY MORE crazy, zany, yet very awesome voice impressions, A BIT more familiar (if you think Matty and Trev there are having fun, wait until you watch Moordryd and Cain's VA's duke it out), and also I'd say 14+/MATURE ALARM for LOTS of innuendo, mentions of male anatomy, mild controversial subjects (both of the last two mentioned in sponsor commercials by the way), and FAR more cussing, like several drops of poorly censored F-bombs. (They talk about Black Lagoon. If any of you know what this is, you know how F-bomb filled even the dub was.) There's also touching stories from Scott near the end.

It has far less DB-related content, however, and was part of the general listing off of Scotty's many works - in which Scotty (in a sophisticated butler-esque voice) and Trev (in the same accent yet more Word-y and cheesy) discuss how Scotty played "[Moordryd's] whimsical and slightly significantic sidekick". ("You look very nice today sir! I'm planning to kill you you know.") Trevor mentions once again how he wish it had been longer, in which Scott butts in and says "you never know, I mean look at Reboot." (Can we get these guys to sign the petition unless they actually did? Seriously! :dance: )

Thank you, Skylii, for telling us.

Oh, cool! I didn't know he had a website of his own, let alone had made some podcasts. Looks like they might be fun to listen to, even though it does seem like they do a lot of random joking around. For anyone with iTunes, the easiest way to get them is to download them with iTunes and you can then sync them with an iPod if you own one, or just listen to them on your computer. The link below will take you directly to the appropriate page in iTunes if you have it installed on your computer. And if you don't have iTunes, then you should get it especially since it's free. Download iTunes here.

There aren't any reviews yet posted on iTunes, so if you feel motivated you can tell the world what you think of his podcast!

Thanks for the link Skylii! :cookie:

I just got around to adding some info about this and a pointer to Trevor's web site and podcasts to dragon-city.org. It's in the Parmon's Workshop section. Good info for the site!

Trevor has added more episodes of his podcast, and his latest interview is with Lee Tockar who of course plays Parmon Sean. Trevor has interviewed quite a few people on the cast of DB at this point. In particular, Matt Hill, Brian Drummond, Scott McNeil, and Tabitha St. Germain have all appeared so far. I'm going through them all slowly and I just listened to the one with Scott McNeil and it was quite good. These are definitely worth checking out!

All the episodes are available for free on iTunes. See my posting above for how to find them.
