Great advice on being fearless, you have to push a lot harder because you'll always sound much 'bigger' in your head. Also, not pausing enough, a lot of us feel like we're moving way slower in our heads than we really are.. Also as every good voice actor knows, a flawed impression is now your own brand new character voice you can use.

On top of that he did 4 major and very different voices in Futurama though both he and Lamar have done a lot of characters in futurama over the years. But yeah, lamar is an absolute legend as well.

I worked at a Guitar Center for a few years and a co-worker and I were going to create a cartoon about our experiences with the many regulars that came in our store. We went as far as having my wife draw out characters and we had the voices. We just couldn't find someone to create the cartoon. I really wish we made it though. We had some crazy people come into the store that we embraced and spent a lot of time creating.
