Welcome to our PREMIERE EPISODE of The Character Select Podcast! 🎉
I would listen to Matt Mercer talk for 24 hours straight about his love for the craft and his story. Such a good and humble man.
As a professional QA who often feels unappreciated, hearing Matt heap praise on QA makes me feel so valid and seen.
You are the unsung heroes of game creation!!!! It's SUCH a hard job!
So, so, so excited to finally share this! A labor of love, for sure. MUCH LOVE TO MY CS TEAM!!!
Let's goooooooo
No one would have GUESSED that you got that GUEST for the first GUEST episode! (I tried....)
Ahahaha - who doesn't love a good play on words?
came here for Matt, was immediately overjoyed to see Anjali, and within 2 minutes I have immense respect for Julia - and this seems like such a cool podcast concept! Can't wait to binge lmao
SO happy to have you with us!!!!
I wish it was longer, I felt like it just flew by
That's how it ALWAYS feels when you're taking to Matthew Mercer.
Matthew Mercer is an absolute legend, omg 😱
Agreed!
I came here from TikTok saw a clip of the podcast. Love it ❤❤❤
Yaaaaay! Thanks for coming by!
I absolutely love your intro!
As someone who is rather new to being a voice actor, I absolutely adore what you said about that Zoom meeting. Being in the Blumvox community, as well as the skillshub community, I've gotten to see so many wonderfully different perspectives. I began truly pursuing voice acting as a career about two years ago, and everyone in these communities has been so supportive. Being able to directly learn from not just other actors, but directors, technicians, and agents has been delightfully insightful.
Matt Mercer is a massive inspiration to me, not just because of his talent, but because of how genuine he is as a person. We have somewhat similar backgrounds, so seeing him become so successful gives me a great deal more hope for my own career.
I'd love to hear you break down the performance of Michael Bell as Raziel or Simon Templeman as Kain in the Legacy of Kain series.
Excellent first episode, I can't wait for the next one!
Symmetra is with Cassidy!
It's high noon in the ultimate reality...
Aww Matt’s the biggest sweetheart. He’ll ALWAYS make time for his friends, regardless of how busy he is. Much love to you Matt, you deserve nothing but the best. 💕
That was a very solid (heh) start for this show lol As a CR fan AND a Metal Gear fan this was a treat, thank you! (now you need to invite David Hayter :P)
So happy you enjoyed it!
This is a hell of a debut!! 🙌🏾🫶🏾
