I tend to draw during almost every recording session, so these sketches aren't unusual. What's unique about this set of doodles is that I had everyone at the session sign it.
So, scattered around these notepad drawings of Yakko, Wakko and Dot are the signatures of just a few of the people who gave voice and sound to the "Animaniacs" series: engineers Harry Andronis and Patrick Rodman; recording assistant Kelly Foley; casting director Leslie Lamers; voice director Andrea Romano; series composer and music director Richard Stone; and the voices of Yakko, Wakko and Dot, namely Rob Paulsen, Jess Harnell and Tress MacNeille. What a group! I feel very fortunate to have worked with these great talents, and so glad to continue working with Rob, Jess and Tress, among others, on Disney's "The 7D."
Here's the kind of question only I would ask.....Did they call you all back to record the "New Years Party" variant of this song, or did you cover it in the same session?
ReplyDeleteAlso, Tress is frigging awesome and underused today. She's basically the female Phil Hartman -- she can say completely serious things and get you to laugh just by the tone of her voice.
Peter -- I transferred my home movies to digital recently -- and turns out I videotaped this final ADR "Auld Lang Syne" Histeria recording session with Frank Welker, Tress, Rob, Billy, Lorainne, etc. Will post it in near future.

ReplyDeleteWho directed "Buster and Babs Go Hawaiian"?
Who designed the Warners, Mr. Plotz, Dr. Scratchansniff, the Nurse, Ralph, Skippy & Slappy, Walter Wolf, Sid the Squid, and Beaney the Bison?
Who other than Bruce Timm designed characters on Freakazoid?
Did Bruce Timm design Julie Bruin, or was it someone else, and if so, who?
May I ask who directed "Buster & Babs Go Hawaiian"?
ReplyDeleteWe (Kids WB) called the actors/singers back in to do the New years version.
