Old World Blues Toaster interview

Brother None

You may recall MCA telling us Jace Hall "was brought in initially as a skit for the Jace Hall show to be bad and then fired", but they ended up liking his take on the talking Toaster in OWB. The Jace Hall Show website now has an interview with Jason Bergman about the episode and the toaster.<blockquote>JHS: The episode certainly captures the drama of the “toaster recording session”…were there any unforeseen challenges that arose with having Jace do the voice of the toaster?

There were two, really. One, was that we were cracking up the entire time. Both when we were filming, and when we were doing the “real” recording that we used in-game. Travis Stout was the writer of the Toaster, and it’s a very, very funny script. Jace handled it like a pro.

Which brings up the other problem – Jace’s voice. The voice he does for the toaster is super deep and aggressive. By the end, you could tell he was really straining himself to keep going. Fortunately it wasn’t a very long script, because I don’t know how much longer he could have kept up that level of intensity.</blockquote>Thanks GameBanshee.

Wait, Ulysses is the Biological Research Station? Huh.

I also totally did not pick up on that. That's awesome.

Somebody needs to do an interview with the guy that voiced Muggy. Top question: What went through your head when you first looked at the script?
 
I actually thought the toaster was kinda funny in the game. Over-the-top wacky, but there wasn't so much interaction with him that the joke got really old really quickly (like the opening dialogue with the doctors in OWB).

I'd never heard of Jace Hall before now. I watched the episode on that page for reference and it was pretty painful to sit through.

and another one: did you imagine all that?
