...that's the title of Mel Blanc's book. I do have a title of my own.....if the publisher approves. Keeping that, as well as the scoop within the book to myself for now. ;-)
No. The industry and agents changed too rapidly and made the book obsolete before it could get published. Right now I’m writing a memoir which should appeal to fans of mine, animation, and those interested in VO as I’m sharing lots of how to info.
@BobBergen Bob, I remember years ago you were thinking of writing a book about how to get an agent. Of course, things have changed a bit since then, but have you given up on that idea?
If this is could be answered on a social media post everyone would secure an agent. You learn all of this in your years of training, networking, rubbing elbows with major players. You also need to know what you want out of your career. Not all agents are created equal.
If you represent the audience, and you do, and you think he's the bee's knees at vo, as I do, then he is not underrated. This word underrated is overrated. And overused. Also I might add that Jeff is as lovely a person as he is talented...and he is damn talented.
@BobBergen Because he is a master of mimicry, his finest skill is that he makes himself invisible. When he does his job perfectly, the audience does not think, "Whoa, Jeff is really good," they just think, "That is Bugs." Same thing with his Don Rickles impression.
Um.....pretty sure you are. No one I know, from industry professionals to fans would say he is underrated. Just look at his body of work. You cannot achieve what Jeff has achieved by being underrated.
No one can answer that. Anyone who says, "Study with me & you will consistently book" is a charlatan. Now, to be able to compete you have to be a trained great actor, with brilliant demos & an agent with clout to get you audition opportunities.
Did a fun interview, kids. Lots of behind the scene scoop and stories. Bob Bergen (Voice of Porky Pig) on Looney Tunes, Toy Story, Star Wars & ... https://t.co/FLGEQDQ9cu via @YouTube
(P.S: After six years? It still feels surreal that @BobBergen and @bauzilla know who we are..that's never going to feel normal, and frankly? we never want it to!)
@BobBergen Eric Bauza may do a good job voicing Porky Pig, but he's not as good as you! You, Bob, are a true Porky, due to your excellent vocal performance! Never doubt it! You auditioned, and you showed them you had what it takes!
Never feel sorry for an actor & their work. it is so hard to break into this business, let alone make a living at it. @matthewmercer is a vo rockstar. I admire the guy both as a performer as well as a person. I also loved working on this show as well as all who were involved.
Welcome @TheAcademy new members of 2026 and a special welcome to my fellow Actors Branch newbies. I’m the first (and I believe only) actor brought in solely on voiceover credits. I do not take membership for granted. Congrats! And get involved! https://t.co/S5fu464uF4
